Settling Maori claims. Someone explain.

[peasea]

Not really on topic but may be of interest to people reading in this thread.

Quite some time ago I stopped to do something to my bike at Queenstown (Frankton) and sheltered in a small bus stop for a while.

Written in bold letters on the wall in paint was the following:

Aotearoa-"Land of the wrong white crowd".

I couldn't get over how much that comment affected me, it really pissed me off.

I still feel a bit pissed when I think about it, don't know why, just do.

Have to admit it is quite a good play on words though.

"Land of the wrong white crowd"; I wonder; was that written by an Asian perhaps?

Way too late mate.
Besides, a little bit of racism is a healthy thing, it creates debate. As long as we aren't lynching anybody it's all good.

"Reverse racism" is a humorous term don't you think.

A favourite on here for sure.Am awaiting a "reverse waving thread" or possibly a "WTF is wrong with everybody that doesnt ride a Harley" thread or even a "For those that wear to much safety gear" thread.

The emails to Martin Doutré are very intriquing.

i'd like to know why our generation seems to be expected to foot the whole fucking bill for the assholes who fucked all of us over 150 years ago.

most of the rich bastards who profited from any theft had families who made fatter profits from this shit and passed it on to their decedents: let those fukkers pay

the fukkin royalty and the goddam pomes made shitloads from the maori; make bessie and phil the greek pay the fuckin bill

my rellies came after most of the shit went down and were starving spud farmers poorer than most maori; why the fuck should I have to pay anything at all?

this country is becoming an apartheid state

can i claim back some of ireland cause the fukkin pomes fucked us over?

Aint it interesting how the proceeds of crimes stuff works (not):

when a thief steals your car, your property etc and sells it to a fence, the fence sells it to some innocent on Trademe but if found, the property still belongs to the original owner..........but, when rich criminal steal money or land, passes it on to second and third party rich bastards, governments step in and pay the bill with money from taxes

genuine land theft from a century ago has profited many NZ families; do they have to pay back the proceeds of crime?

talk about bullshit, Bernie Madoff's buddies made billions but chances are they'll never have to pay back a red cent....................that's capitalism for ya

[Pussy]

Not necessarily capitalism.... just plain being a shit-head.

Those people just chose not to listen to their conscience

yes, capitalism: ultimate control in the hands of the capitalists. they make the rules and steal the really BIG money every time

capitalism is a failure, most just haven't woken up to it yet because the capitalists control the media and the propaganda
