Racists: always the first to call others racists

[Zedder]

I read in the Herald today that Nga Puhi leader David Rankin has lodged a formal complaint with the Race Relations Commissioner over Mutu's statements. Ironic!

The fact that I have to 'enlighten you' simply shows just how much you lot over here know about South Africa and the shit that has happened there. Do some digging online, talk to some Saffers and find out why they are here, at least try and open your mind and educate yourself before requesting an enlightenment.

You are right we don't learn much here about South Africa. The correct way to answer the question was "Go look into the following : Boer Wars, Apatite...."

The south affer way to answer was what you posted. Probably sounded nicer in Afrikaans. So lets just say you point was lost in translation.

I am not digging at S.A. I merely asked how on international standards did they fare. Turns out about the same as everyone else (NZ excluded as we are tiny, and hidden). If you don't believe me check out North Africa, South America, China, Japan, India, What was the USSR..... all fucked over pretty good at least once - In China's case at least 5 times.
But if these countries can move on why not S.A.? Perhaps that chip on your shoulder is getting heavy?

actually the maorori were here first, then the maori killed them and ate them it"s in the history books.

And us Europeans helped them do it too. We sailed them over on a boat because we wanted to lease the land on the Chathams

The Maorori being peaceful asked Governor general or Whatever Grey was for help he said. Sorry you will have to sort it out your self cause the Chathams weren't part of his Turf yet.This was how it played out according to the King guy.

But shit colonisation happened everywhere.Period in one form or another.
The euros actually paid for most of New Zealand. Which is more than you can say for elsewhere.
Every person in New Zealand is descended from immigrants or is a Immigrant period.

too true but do all immagrants go bleeting around like maori being greedy cunts.

Let's be fair, dem immigrants didn't have all their shit stolen and their women raped and their culture invaded and their land given out.

Some immigrants do, just like "some" Maori do, but the race as a whole doesn't

Some did, hence ending up here.
They must be good a building bridges.....

Bang on! It's always the "some" who do most of the moaning/stirring in a lot of races.

New Zealand is the only country in known history to have a treaty which, although drawn up primarily to block French sovereignity and thought of as being very flawed, was at least an attempt to create an organised, safe, and fair system of government.

It was a first for the English however because they usually subscribed to the "might is right" method of gaining land or other resources like many other Imperialistic regimes before them.

You're being funny eh? Do you think 16 generations or so down the track the Scots are fleeing their homeland due the trauma of the First War of Scottish Independence?

You may also want to look a little further afield than your local video shop if you want to have a hope of gaining some kind of historical understanding

No I don't they got on with life
So lets me understand here oppression is not relevant if it doesn't suit your arguement and it is only relevant if it was how many generations ago?
98% of new Zealand land was paid for read a book and get a clue.
I used the movie as it seems some of the posters here aren't obviously that well read.

[crystalball]

I saw a guy on his own today on my lunch break at the intersection of harris rd had his hair shaven and few tatts and holding a sign waving it. The sign read " new zealanders need jobs imagrants go home"

Some here can read but like movies, some here like movies but have no grasp of logic, others still, can't write a sentence that makes sense but believe others should get a clue...oh and 98% of the statistics that I pull out of my arse are true facts (IMHO)

Transparent abodes and petrified missiles dude.
I was in a hurry to eat my meal. If my spelling and grammar offends you so much perhaps I suggest you might choose to get a life.
I am quite happy to post the sums of money paid for the land in New Zealand and then I guess what will you say?

By the way I am a descendant of people who arrived in New Zealand by both Waka and by Boat. As I no doubt bet you are. Neither part of me feels that because of this fact, I should in any way be entitled to anything more than anyone else who is a citizen in New Zealand.
