Give me a break.

“You mean like the waitangi tribunal and the treaty gravy train, dollars going to the brown mafia, race based policy and privilage..no wonder the white man is getting angry.”

The ” …treaty gravy train…” is insignificant compared to the amount of wealth stripped out of this country by the likes of Telecom, the former owners of the railways, foreign banks. I agree that “…the white man…” should be “…getting angry.”, but using Maori dissent as a whipping-boy for the trouble brewing in this country is a cynical use of the ignorance generated by decades of establishment disinformation.

You mean like the waitangi tribunal and the treaty gravy train, dollars going to the brown mafia, race based policy and privilage..no wonder the white man is getting angry.

What a tosser.

“When you have a party leader saying the kind of things Hone the Racist says in public – and just imagine what he says in private”

So it’s a given that all politicians say worse things in private than in public? Not possible that Harawira, for all his faults, is at least honest?

“Yoza go away”

No.

“Uppity and inciting racial unrest are, in my world, two very different things!”

The incitement of racial unrest is the direct consequence of one distinct ethnic group bearing the brunt of the intensely class conscious policy objectives imposed on society by an unelected ruling elite. As people like Martin Luther King were well aware class conflict and racial conflict are two sides of the same coin. Exploiting superficial racial differences among the lower tiers of society diverts attention from those who plan and profit off economic policies which are designed to maintain a system of debt peonage among a large swathe of the population.

Hone Harawira does not incite racial unrest, he gives voice to the widespread anger emanating from the gross inequality and injustice many suffer in this country. This inequality and injustice is caused by the enacting of policies which have the successful effect of stripping wealth out of the general population and concentrating it in the hands of a privileged few.

When the likes of Farrar, a beneficiary of the contemporary economic paradigm, singles out Hone Harawira or the Mana Party as scapegoats for all manner of social ills he is doing little more than fulfilling his function as a faithful servant of our, predominantly foreign, corporate overlords. Anyone who questions the status quo or is seen as a threat to the dominant power structure will always be blamed for the social disasters those power structures inflict on society.

The white apartheid government running South Africa liked blaming Nelson Mandela and the ANC for inciting racial unrest, they would refuse accept that their system of white supremacy had anything to do with the problem. All of their media outlets would reinforce their message.

Different country; same scam.

Such people as the MP for Te Tai Tokerau are frequently referred to as enablers. In their haste to build a platform for their egos they condemn those they should inspire to a life of mediocrity & worse.

It’s nothing more than they way they’re bought up however. It’s very appealing to be told your situation is not your fault it’s someone else’s. It takes real wisdom to see past that if that’s what you’ve been told since you were a baby and everyone else in your family really does think that. That’s the problem.

Mr Harawira as an MP & leader of the Mana Party seems to make quite a thing of racism & implied violence. For example:

1) “White motherf***ers have been raping our lands and ripping us off for centuries….”

2) “…he “wouldn’t feel comfortable” if one of his children came home with a Pākehā partner,…”

3) “should be lined up against a wall and shot” referring to Phil Goff.

Why should you think it unreasonable for the MP for Te Tai Tokerau to be associated with the rantings of one of his constituents given that he himself hasn’t got his tongue under control & promotes racism?

This is Kiwiblog and Farrar does have a reactionary audience who are deeply imbued with an acceptance of the doctrine of white supremacy, so anyone who questions the primacy of the master race is targeted for derision and scorn. Hone Harawira is an obvious target, being an uppity Maori who threatens the fantasies with which the owner class and their business class sycophants enjoy regaling one another. By extension the Mana party, being the political vehicle of those fighting for the people at the bottom of the socioeconomic heap, must also be singled out for mockery.

When you have a party leader saying the kind of things Hone the Racist says in public – and just imagine what he says in private – how can it be a surprise that clowns like this guy follow the party line, i.e. all Maori problems are down to the Honkey, and we should all “go back where we came from.” Expect more of this.
