from No Punches Pulled
Try and imagine the carry-on in Britain if its government announced special privileges for the original Anglo-Saxon and Celt citizens.
Nearly 40% of today’s Brits are of non-traditional ethnicity. Take those of Indian ethnicity. They have the highest educational standards of all Britain’s diverse ethnicities. They also have the highest incomes and are the least likely to be in prison. The current cabinet is dominated by Indian ethnics, many of four generations back and most pundits are picking the current, (Indian ethnic) Chancellor as Boris’s successor.
But here in New Zealand the government’s posture, if in charge in Britain, would be that you citizens of Indian ethnicity, must step back and allow special privileges to the poor suffering original Anglo-Saxon and Celt inhabitants.
That is a parallel of what is happening here in New Zealand with Maoridom.
We’re told Maoridom is bearing the awful toll of colonialism, two centuries back.
I’m of Welsh and English stock and have also suffered this. My ancestors had to endure the bloody Roman invasion. Just as we were finally getting over that, bugger me if we then had bloody Vikings turn up and run all over us. My how we suffered from post-colonial stress, but with the passing of time we were beginning to stand on our feet when in came the bloody Saxons. My God, the pain. How we lashed out at our wives and children as a result. But with no other option we hung on in and were just starting to gain some confidence when in 1066, the bloody French bowled up and it started all over again. And so it went. The agony of this constant post-colonial stress was unbearable.
So you will understand why Maori beat up their wives and children, dominate prison statistics and every other negative measure. It’s all down to colonialism. Only by giving them special privileges will we solve the problem, or so the government asserts.
Being well meaning is no excuse for the racial division the government is promoting with its endless excuses for Maori failure and Maori privilege.
One of my best mates is Maori. He endured the standard jailed father, the batterings and all the baggage that goes with it. Add to that dyslexia and gullibility leading to a short prison sentence but he was blessed with a typically strong willed Maori mother’s influence, urging him to forgo excuses and look ahead and not backwards. He’s become a huge success as a human being and wants no truck with excuses. He’s self-employed and hugely liked by all and sundry as a terrific human being. Further, to his great credit, he scorns Maori privilege.
I have Maori children, no surprise there as I have them by a rich variety of races. They all get on with their lives and couldn’t give a stuff about their ancestry. It’s 100% irrelevant.
Meaning well is no excuse for causing harm. The government is causing enormous divisive damage to our social fabric by catering to the dying Stuff’s type Maori wonderful nonsense. It will be a key reason they’re run out of office in two years time.
Thanks to Jim Cable for sending this. Whether the destruction of Democracy and its replacement by an Oligarchy (despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group — the top 1% in Maoridom) under the Jacinda government’s He Puapua is “well-meaning” is a moot point — there are those who claim it is a deliberate strategy as part of the U.N. Agenda 2030. —Eds
Excellent well written. 100% agree. Jacinda Arden and her Labour/Greens government are destrying New Zealand. I am offended and distressed to have to hear on radio and TV the Maori language being forced upon our English speaking country. English is the mother-tongue of NEW ZEALAND!! The majority of us are of British descent,. But, we, the majority, are afraid to speak out for fear of being called racist. We are all New Zealanders. Stop putting Maori first. We are all equal together. Stop squandering our taxpayer dollars on the minority. We must all benefit from our hard earned income. Hospitals for all NEW ZEALANDERS. Not split into separate health care for Maori. The Labour government is causing NZ to becoming a radically marxists and socialist country in the extreme. Stand up everyone, stand up and be counted for all New Zealanders. One country for all of us equally. Stop squandering our money on the minority. We are all one people. The Labour government is destroying NZ. It must stop! We must get rid of them in the next election. We must stop the racial divide. The Maori elete must be stopped from abusing the Treaty of Waitangi. They are must get on with living in today’s world. The Treaty claims must Stop! After 180 years. Enough is enough.
Our view is that Te Reo Maori has an important heritage and cultural value that shouldn’t be ignored; but has no practical value as only about 1% of the population speak it fluently and it’s not spoken anywhere else in the world. As you observe, people do not like the government ramming things down their throats — it produces a negative reaction. During the era of the Soviet Union, everyone in the Soviet block was forced to learn Russian. It was one of the things people in those countries hated about communism.
