19th Century white settler privilege has been smacked down at Waitangi 2024
19th Century white settler privilege is being told NO at Waitangi and it’s just beautiful.
The turn out was enormous and the anger righteous.
You can’t treat Māori as a political punching bag in the election and expect redneck joy at Waitangi.
The reek of fear coming off Luxon at Waitangi is hilarious and watching Winston and Seymour getting booed and jeered at Waitangi was glorious.
If Luxon isn’t terrified by the race baiting ACT and NZ First have led him into by now, he’s gone burger as a leader.
There’s a world of difference between playing the banjo on The Platform, ZB Plus or Reality Check Radio and trying to cross burn at the place where our Treaty was signed.
The reality is the Right have triggered redneck bigotry for political purposes and are now they are getting some at Waitangi.
The white supremacist Trolls will be screaming, but etc reality is you can’t re-write the Treaty and expect Māori to accept it.
Quote of the day:
Hone Harawira: “you buggers want to get rid of (the treaty), strip the treaty of its mana … to belittle te reo and try to make it a second class language in our land. It ain’t going to happen!” to David Seymour: “your shitty arse bill is going down the toilet”
Māoridom – 1
19th Century White Settler Cracker Privilege – 0

Andrew Little on the Treaty debate, well worth a read.

The referendum will be a reality check for all those Māori who have made a living from being victims. My European ancestors lost land 200 years ago, where do I go for compensation? The Treaty is gone, get used to it.
Your ancestors probably came here to do the same thing that happened to them, or to Australia, anywhere, they could find a home. Spread the love! You are here now, get used to it.
A referendum?
So your ancestors were criminals rightist tears.
If David Seeless wants a treaty referendum then it would have to be on the same stats as when it was signed.
That would be something like 80,000 Maori to 2,000 whitey. These are only broad approximates of the figures but you get the drift.
Wow Maori were so generous and kind to Whitey to sign this treaty, to establish terms and regulations with the base intruders to stop the troubles and mayhem,maintain the peace, and establish a working relationship.
I want to hear more about this.
Scholar s and all people with knowledge do your thing.
But the numbers speak.
That approximately 80000 exisiting in 1840 is approximately half of the Maori population in 1800 – because Maori murdered the other half in the musket wars – & were desperate to claim the equal protection of the Crown.
This from Gordon Campbell, Scoop https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2402/S00009/on-tomorrow-and-the-spirit-of-moana-jackson.htm
On Moana Jackson’s thoughts and findings:
That notion, Jackson continued, requires “a profound suspension of disbelief”:
“I’m not aware, for example, of any stage in French history, where the Emperor or President of France woke up and said, “I don’t want to exercise sovereignty in France anymore. I’ll ask the Tsar of Russia to do it.” And I certainly don’t know of any instance in Britain, where the king or queen of Britain woke up one morning and said, “I don’t want to exercise sovereignty in Britain anymore. I’ll go and ask the Kaiser in Germany to do it.’
That is just historically not a fact of political and constitutional inter-relationships. And to assume that that is what our people did, flies in the face of that very human history, let alone the very Māori human history, where the notion of giving away the authority to make independent decisions is not just culturally inconceivable; it was politically impossible.
That seems to me to express clearly how Maori would think and act in the signing of the Treaty. As Groucho Marx remarked sapiently “A child of five could understand this. Send for a child of five.”
And Groucho Marx was a wise and cunning joker. And I am not joking that many MPs particularly in ACT National and that random doggie NZ First, aren’t really human now, and wouldn’t remember if they ever were, any thought from when being a child of five .
If the British Empire intended the ToW to be a Partnership/co government/ co government then the original English document would have explicitly stated that.
It’s not what at the time of the signing of the treaty it’s what happened after, the constant breaches of the treaty by the crown is why you’re we are here trying to protect Maori rights from a bunch of people who just showed up one day.

The poor dears who drew up the Treaty back in 1840 didn’t have bright, intelligent, advisors to help them. They had to use their brains coupled with understanding, rarely seen together these days.
Yeah but wasn’t it a protection treaty, maori become a vassal of the crown. Then when the Brits lost their empire maori and pakeha became a vassal of the US empire with the Anzus treaty.
Bad manners, rudeness and intolerance are clearly not white settler colonial privilege exclusively then
Austerity is racist. Maori will bear the brunt of Nationals slash and burn agenda, and young Maori males will be the first to be let go as the Reserve Bank hikes interest rates to stop inflation.
Iwi will simply be bought off with government contracts as the Treaty will be used to justify outsourcing public services to Maori organisations.
Hence iwi are just as capitalist as whites??? It is just moving the deck chairs, not sure how maoris will bear the brunt then?
And air-conditioning.
With Mr 8.5% Seymour and Mr 6.5% Peters both being redneck Maori, Luxon must think he’s in bed with the devil
Perhaps he should have gone with 3% Te Pati Māori.
Yes John, but if you are prepared to dance with the devil you will get burnt.
Proving of course ‘Maori’ are not one voting block and have views as diverse as the rest of us.
There was no blood bath, no uprising, the Prime Minister not reduced to tears, no dildos thrown just words which are not violence. The MSM and the lefts attempt to whip up a revolution through their continued misinformation and agenda against the government has failed.
“Whip up a revolution” hahahaha, now there’s a conspiracy only someone from the right could come up with!
Talk about hypocrisy on misinformation.
