In a shaameful outburst in Parliament today, Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi spewed more anti-Pākehā venom, snarling at Pākehā MPs, “And you’re welcome that you get to live here at all.” The implication?
And yet we continue to tolerate the circus that TPM create at parliament. The “Anti pakeha venom” is blatantly being sprayed out in our communities now too.
It goes both ways, the anger and resentment from non-Maori who are sick and tired of this constant belittlement is increasing all the time and also helping to create polarisation. It is as if TPM are deliberatley trying to force eveyone into identity boxes, not realising just how seriously outnumbered they will be when they finally succeed in turning the majority of the population fully against them.
It brings to mind the jar of ants meme - black ants and red ants getting along fine and until someone comes along and shakes the jar & they start attacking each other as a consequence.
TPM are the hand that shakes the jar & they're not only doing it in Parliament, no doubt are spreading their poison on social media & into kohanga reo throughout the land.
Yup indeed, the anger & entitlement is becoming entrenched in young people of browner skin & fractional Maori descent. They are being taught to really hate anyone & everything European. This trend won’t end well.
Sharing a recent FBk post from my 27y.o who has worked hard to become comfortable in his special blend of melanin ....
"I want to celebrate Māori who are good at what they do, and that are Māori.
Not be forced to celebrate Māori accomplishment, just because those who accomplished something are Māori.
That takes away from the accomplishment and says "oh you were on the backfoot, but you made it.. well done."
Pretty condescending when you think about it, denoting we couldn't or that it's harder for us as Māori in the first place - historical atrocities aside, what's stopping the Māori population from achieving thier goals and aspirations today?
Is it because some Māori seem to find comfort in merely participating in their identity, while being told they're a victim of it and need help living, or that they then need to dismantle the system so they can be Māori again, ect..?
Rather than pushing themselves to achieve their goals and find success for themselves - while being Māori..
Why is this meritocratic way of thinking considered racist nowadays?
Was it not more racist for my Māori brethren to tell me i was too white to get a Māori scholarship in school? 🤣
Alas, achievement is not measured in melanin count, but by your process and degree of success."
Haha I think Te Part Maori is a true representation of these creatures. These part Māoris are scum. I would like to know just how often the ‘leaders’ of this gang actually attend Parliament? Probably too busy getting on the piss and jetting off to Raro for another holiday.
Dissent within Maoridom must come. It is to the shame of part-Maori MP's in other parties that the play acting of TPM is allowed to continue. Their theatrics have become demeaning comedy.
We have become immune to endless racist attacks on white NZers from this lot and those they stir to rebellion. Somehow, subconsciously, we have absorbed the narrative that it's not so bad when Maori are racist towards white people, even when those antagonistic Maori are mostly white. To measure how offensive these words are, in my mind I turn the words around & imagine how serious it would be if a white person had said the same thing about Maori, and it usually shocks, it would definitely be MSM headlines and there would be relentless calls for the (white) person who made the racist statement to stand down, and there would be no let up from the baying crowd until that person was removed from their job.
The speaker failed in his responsibility to make the racist woman apologise and withdraw her racist supremist comment and attitude. Disgusting on both counts. First for that racist display and secondly for the speaker facilitating it. Abhorent both of them
I just look at South Africa and shudder… but at least there the Africans we’re not immigrants themselves nor of mix race as the entire race of Maori are…who travelled here in waka…committing genocide on the people here before them…oh the absolute irony…
They allow us to live here? If it were not for Europeans they would have killed and eaten themselves into oblivion. Great pity the French did not arrive earlier. They would have wiped them all out. Todays maori cannot see all the benefits and luxuries from what they originally possessed. They could never have imagined the gains in their standard of living that they now possess, and could never have achieved any of them by themselves. Time to look at both sides of the story.
Kapa-Kingi, like other advocates of Māori identity politics, speaks primarily for herself and those stupid enough to share her views.
By recognizing terms like "Māori" or "Pākehā," in legislation, we risk engaging in a divisive framework that, as seen globally, often leads to further division.
My advice is don’t get roped in to believing such utter bollocks.
The concept of "Māori" as a distinct identity emerged sometime after the Treaty of Waitangi (ToW), which addresses the people of New Zealand collectively, not specifically Māori. Notably, the original 1840 Treaty documents do not use the capitalized noun "Māori," as the term did not exist in that form at the time.
I argue that "Māori" is a social construct, not a historical or fixed category, and it lacks any clear definition. In correspondence with the Waitangi Tribunal, while they accused me of not being Māori, they couldn’t provide me with a definition of what one was.
The Waitangi Tribunal’s inability to provide a clear definition of "Māori" means that the term lacks a fixed, objective basis. This raises questions about whether Māori identity exists as a distinct, universally defined category at all.
Given that Maori have interbred so much that there are no full Maori left it is madness to hate the part of yourself that you canot change. To carry on this way is to hate people who gave you life.

Yes 100%

Good point well made. That appears to be the path we are on.

But did the Speaker enforce the "Apologise and Withdraw" suggestion?
