98tls got it in one. A fat few in Tainui get to see the $$$, not the average Joe, thats for sure......

Don't you mean Rangi?

Don't you mean Rangi?

Nah... Joe... the ones not denying their European heritage...

Sounds pretty bloody RACIST to me...........Maybe I should put a sign up on my lawn saying...........

NO MAORIS!!!!!
NEW ZEALANDERS ONLY!!!!!

Although apparently that would be racist.....funny how it's only racist when one division of our people are being singled out.....but fine for the rest of us to be treated like we aren't New Zealanders.

just remove the

"NO MAORIS"
and you will be fine...

Well...

This is a topic me and my late Grandfather used to discuss alot and I stress I dont consider either of us to be raciest.. Heres a few things we used to discuss.

1) Personally Ive seen / experienced more racial abuse from Maori directed at Europeans then the other way round.
2) Why is there a Maori party? There isnt a white european party?? Isnt that raciest?
3) Why do Tribes only seem to claim back either prime real estate or developed forestry land? That may just be my perception due to media etc.
4) How the hell can ANYONE "own" the seabeds/rivers/fish in the sea?????
5) Why is it easier for a person of Maori decent to join the Police force?
6) Why do people of Maori decent get special grants?

I havnt meet a working Maori person in my 31 years who beleives they have been mistreated. I have however meet more then I can count benificiaries who sit on their arse bitching and complaining with their hands out.

It is up to the individual to make their lives better.. Thru hard work not hand outs where not deserved.

The only reason it is still going on is because our government doesnt have the balls to put a stop to it.

We are ALL New Zealanders. People need to stop focusing on what has happened in the past and focus on the future. How about some of the millions of dollars in tax payer money given to the Iwi is spent educating youth and providing for families in genuine need. Maori or not.

Gasp... Thats my 2c worth anyway.

P.s.... Where is the love?

5) Why is it easier for a person of Maori decent to join the Police force?

If only the french had landed on gud ol un zed first then they more than likely wouldn't have signed a treaty and would have used exterminator method instead lol.

(I don't mind maori, I just hate people claiming something thats everybodies)
