Even though these organisations tend to attract the lower working class and unemployed, I do commend them on their efforts to provide an environment for a young being to feel the emotion of success and belonging in a world built to seperate and break down individuals.
@@steeloww8774 It’s really not comparable at all. African Americans were kept as slaves, were segregated, had no right to vote, etc. Black Power in NZ is a criminal organisation not a social movement. The battle of manners street is a good example of the difference between Kiwis and Yankees: Some American servicemen in the Services Club objected to Māori soldiers also using the Club, and on 3 April 1943 began stopping Māori soldiers from entering. Many New Zealand soldiers in the area, both white (Pākehā) and Māori, combined in opposition. The stand-off escalated when Americans took off their belts to attack those who wanted to let the Māori in. Fights broke out and at one point at least a thousand servicemen, as well as several hundreds of civilians, were involved in the subsequent fracas, which was broken up by civil and military police.
@@steeloww8774 bro. No it's not. Were we ever paraded in chains? Did we ever wear spiked neck braces so we couldn't run? No we were not. They the Afrikaans and the the African Americans had it harder than we could ever imagine. We only think we had it hard. Look at the kids in south Africa bro. Still eating mudpies because they live in real hard times. Real poverty. I'm no slave. I'm human first. Then I'm Ngati porou/Ngapuhi-tonu. And we are not dogs either. We are not SS Germans. My Nans father fought in the 28th Maori battalion. We are no slaves or dogs. Hell to the no brada!
@@davepage535 so true. i dont know what the fuck i was thinking when i wrote that comment. dont remember it. who gives a fuck about these shit for brains and their dumb vests
No no... much respect to YOU brother. And your heritage. For yours were chained up and enslaved. We were not. We were colonized yes. But we were never paraded around in chains with spikes on our necks so we won't run. I know my Maori history brother. We were never slaves. Just colonized and adapted. So... much respect to you bro. You endured for centuries what would kill us in a day.
