It isn't a race thing, it is drugs, poor housing, stupid choices, ignorant parenting and the poverty that follows all that stuff around. The reality that Maori are more frequently affected by those conditions is a result of our institutionalised racism - something I never understood as a comfortably raised fifties white woman. Until I had a Maori daughter. Boy was that a lesson in real life.
You've been sucked in by a mass delusion among the safe and comfortable classes. It isn't real, as our census stats reveal. Which, btw, is why this government talks of stopping the census. Easier to live their dream without the hard facts intruding...
2 year old in a suitcase
another child beaten with many broken bones
institutionalised racisim my arse
everythings someone elses fault
someone stole our land 200 years ago
Conveniently forget that them and the tribe in the next valley were constantly at war with each other stealing land/food/people
Conveniently forget about all the improvement in every part of their lives because of the whiteys
look at any post on FB involving maori politics the real racists float to the top and they are all part maori
The verdict is in: Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson and their sidekick Chris Hipkins spent like drunken sailors, ignored official advice, and left our economy in tatters.
