Michael Laws: I’m Sick and Tired of Māori Being Paraded as Some Sort of Special People 

I feel the same way, they all need to get real job’s and contribute to NZ society instead of taking from society.

@stuartburrows2744 Thats how I feel, but still alot of racists on this channels comment sections

@olliemoose2020 you need to get a life with such negative words. You ain't even on topic, buddy.

Hhahaha 'Marxist'. Oh boy.

I grew up with plenty of Maori friends, not one of them needed the victim card. If we only embraced each other (kiwis) and respected each cultural background and religion.

@@MaxMoetu Touche e hoa ☺

Tried to destroy Maori culture in the past but we fought hard to keep it alive now you white people are scared lol wake up you tried to force Maori to be white but no

Big ones too.!

@@peterselling7879 Yes, leave Aotearoa.

Moan moan and complaining, stop playing the victim

@mikimoto99 kia ora e hoa, thanks for your comments. Im curious, in your opinion, who are the elite Māori? And who are the normal everyday Māori?

@@Xashe If you dont k ow that by now, shame on you! It is the same people in every culture around the world. Look it up.

@mikimoto99 thanks again for your response even if you didn't answer the question. I was asking for your opinion specifically. I've heard many commentators talk about Māori elites over the years, so I'm just trying to understand who these people are from those who talk about them. I've been told I'm an elite Māori, but I don't think you're necessarily talking about me here.

@@Xashe You are best to ask similar people that have told me over conversation, everyday,working, Maori people that live a normal life and do an honest days work. There are many, take your pick. Elites around the world do little but clip the ticket of the average working person, then try to tell us they know whats best for us. This is obviously not just a Maori thing. Happens in all cultures, check out the WEF for eg.

@mikimoto99 why don't you want to name anyone in particular? Like surely there's at least one you can name? I tried looking up elite Māori and besides the Hori from Ōtaki I found a piece about Winston Peter's calling Te Pāti Māori elite Māori. Do you think any of these count as elite Māori? Winston Peters, Rawiri Waititi? Or maybe John Tamihere? I've named three for you now, which ones do you consider elite Māori, and why?

According to the "elite" maori that is also white peoples fault.

Ank you for your honesty

@Chopper650 elaborate on that one seeing all Maori are of European descent.

@@TeMana-vy5qu They should - instead of Kiwis paying for it.

You don't even have the courage to say that out loud to your neighbour. Why not lead the way by saying your comments directly to John, Debbie, Tariana, Rawiri, Peeni, Dale.... Your problem is that more people do now have the courage to speak out what they think, and those people are Maori and true Kiwi's who don't want the division your fear is engendering

How many times do you deliberately watch anything with the title, Maori or treaty in it so you can feel a sense of anger, frustration and emotion toward an entire group of people that you don't interact with? You people keep talking about speaking out and speaking up but it's always about Maori. Our language, our children, our culture, land, our politicians, our business, our education system. Try to put yourself in a position where the majority constantly want you to give up your everything, put it away in a closet and never acknowledge you are anything more than a kiwi with no history, language or culture before colonisation. Astounding you can't inherently see how racist it is. I say this to all the racist, just watch rabbit proof fence then get back to me. I'll wait.

NEVER forget New Zealanders VOTED the Marxist fanatic Adern into power. VOTED HER IN???

Rubbish ! They amplified it key didn’t start it but he certainly pushed it along so his mates could feed off it

Rubbish Maori have been aasserting their rights to their language and culture peacefully since the 60's certainly since the early 70's when the Kohanga movement started - pretty sure Ardern wasn't even alive then so stop with your rubbish. The only difference now is that we are more vocal than then, it has taken 50yrs for us to get to this point and unfortunately for you it is not due to a political party but more a social understanding which is only strengthening and growing. It's your choice whether you want to have a truly united NZ where we accept all cultures or not

Not to forget Simon Dallow and Melissa's contributions.

They are just trying to make them selves sound more entitled for Treaty claim’s.

Firstly you can't even spell the word 'indigenous' and secondly Maori is a made up word for the 'indigenous'

Because we had already settled the land, we were the first people here. Moriori came over on the same waka and became their own distinct people around the 1500s when they moved to the Chatham islands, where they still are to this day (because I know some munter will bring it up). Your argument is the same as if I went to England today, colonised it, and said whats the difference, the Romans and Celts sailed there too?

You can’t colonize a country that don’t have a indigenous population already ?

Admittedly long time ago but isn’t the belief of being a superior race of people a common held belief of European people when they first arrived in NZ and all the other places around the world.. and because of that there were dire consequences for indigenous people everywhere …their views recorded in studies and journals ..not alll without admiration but still well held beliefs of being better .

Read Michael Kings book 🎉The History of New Zealand published by Penguin. That will correct your view of Moriori. Bet you won’t.😎

Please name the ethnicity of the people who live on the Chatham Islands.

British wiped out 100's of thousands of native people all over the world, taking slaves from Africa and now want to take on Russia by supplying deadly weapons to unalive thousands in Ukraine. Don't see Maori wanting to use nuclear weapons to wipe out the WHOLE world.

@@mooselee902And what also is your point???? The Moriori were hunter-gatherers who lived on the Chatham Islands in isolation from the outside world until the arrival of HMS Chatham in 1791. They came to the Chathams from mainland New Zealand, which means they were descendants from the Polynesian settlers who had initially settled in New Zealand - the same Polynesians from which Māori had also descended. This was because Māori had also lived in isolation in New Zealand. Most of what else is known about the Moriori, their culture and their language, is a matter of speculation. This is because so much evidence has been lost. After the 1835 genocidal Māori invasion, all Moriori were either killed, enslaved or they succumbed to the deadly effects of newly introduced foreign diseases. The language and culture of those Moriori that did survive became intermingled with the Māori language and society before records were made by Europeans. This makes most of what we now know of the pre-contact Moriori the subject of conjecture.

Maori is a word made up by the invaders the english

They were ran out of Peru to avoid being exterminated by the "natives" in the Americas too, settled in ancient New Zealand, and were then attacked by more "natives."

Maori is a made up word by pakeha for the indigenous and Moriori haven't been wiped out, colonial lies. We all might get wiped out by your European made nuclear weapons soon and you'll still blame Maori I suppose.

You will find Tiako mentions when Maori arrived, there were six other tribes here.

They offer nothing hence get nothing in return, so they use propaganda as the lubricant to get away with grabbing.

And Saint Mike and Sean are not peddling propaganda?! Sean has a go at everyone that listens to him too. He thinks most are nuts I'm pretty sure. He did craft together a fine aggrievement platform for the easily led, got to hand it to him. He shows that hand quite a bit yet no one who hangs on his every word even flinches.

Sue I’m white and even I’ve experienced racism and where I live xenophobia and it’s not nice but I accept that there will always be a certain amount of racism but I was brought up in New Zealand to be colourblind and treat as equally with respect regardless of race. Sadly now in New Zealand we’re taught to see the colour of skin and to think in racial terms.

You come from a time of hard work and good work ethic .Maori and non Maori stood side by side and had great laughter with each other. A Maori was a good friend to pakeha and vice versa but then greedy Maori radicals have wormed their way into politics and heir agenda isn’t for Maori it’s for elite Maori and it’s off the backs of hard working Maori who will see nothing . Then we have pakeha in government who are just greedy pathetic individuals who allow division to happen by feeding into nonsense . The pakeha and Maori who are just everyday New Zealanders need to stand togather as we once did and not let politicians and radicals divide us .

@@deanwitt7903 The sad thing is that I can see the point you are trying to make. But to assume that the environment you speak of was indicative of the entire country is simply untrue. There were area's in Auckland where even in the 1970's Maori were not allowed to shop at certain stores or on the main streets of some suburbs. To not understand that that isn't any different now try watching while an adult Maori walk into ANY jewellers shop around the country. The only difference is that as a Maori I didn't grow up seeing any difference up North either, my best friend was and still is white with blue eyes - the difference in how I see the world and more importantly how the world sees me happened when I moved to Auckland for my career. I didn't make the differences but I can't change my skin colour nor my culture and I don't think I should have to. I also refuse to accept that my children should be treated differently or looked at suspiciously because of their skin colour or because they are fluent in another language.

Yeah... its amazing how the politically correct brigade can't help but use inaccurate terms... Indigenous when they are not, Native when they are not, First Nations when they are not. If we called them something accurate such as "first settlers" they would blow their stack. Then of course even first settlers is inaccurate because the majority of Maori have a large amount of European blood... so that means they are just settlers like the rest of us. Perhaps "Biracial and multiracial mixed first and second wave settlers"

Neither are you - you go home first and then the Maori might follow

Rubbish - you immediately attribute all crime to Maori anyway so why bothering to confirm which type of brown or white it was you just throw everything back at ALL Maori.

Huh when did you all have a survey?? says alot if you only sent it out to your friends and family...hardly "many"

What are you talking about - have you even read the treaty? either version?

Of course the English wanted to quick smart raise the flag on New Zealand soil. There were other countries heading our way Eg. Spain who would have had they no first. Besides easying Maori warfare the colonials knew the value of land and we gobbling it up as fast as a maori would grab a blanket or musket or two in ignorance. Treaty was partly to save guard the continual landgrab going on by British land grabbers, known as landsharks.

@@2wahineandadog What's your reply got to do with his original comment?

@@jameskatte1175 Did you read it or just rush to put me down? He clearly stated that 500 Maori were in favour of British rule when that is NOT what was signed. You should stop drinking now, you seemed more intelligent 2days ago

@@2wahineandadog You are not that bright either, you continuously miss the point. Not all Maori signed the actual treaty document, but many more were in favour of the Brits. Copies of the treaty went around different areas of NZ, so that many of the chiefs could sign. Get your facts right. Listen to the comment from Grandad neal

Maori were once warriors. And lost. So, failed at that too.

@benji4840 u have not even scratched the surface my man lol use made billions n trillions ova the past 150 years since the treaty was signd use got caught out on ur own paper work and words use created and signd! hence reason y they dont teach the treaty at schools b cos truth hurts and then the nz youth will kno jst how our history is ??

Not that surprising your sticking in your nose in over here given how horribly you treat you First Nations people - you have laws that only apply to them, clearly segregating them in small compounds - we don't require your racist opinions - when your Country is unified and happy then we can talk but until you stop sending your criminals over here you get no respect.

We are all equal, (all human too), so don't get too excited. Don't let Michael lead you astray. Imagine not feeling aggrieved and trying to get along with each other, (on an equal footing). I don't think the 'us and them' thing has worked at all.

Then you should stay there. If your main concern is for your field of employment and how you can make it more profitable for yourself then you should focus on that. But if you want the entire country to back you and what you want perhaps you should consider that some parts of the country have priorities different to your own irrespective of culture and that they have the right to be heard also. Maori are not responsible for what MSM report - but it might be an idea to listen with a more open mind and recognise exactly how the world is seeing the divisions in NZ because I personally think we ALL could benefit from some changes

@@2wahineandadog I am well travelled in my business and spend a lot of time in different cultures around the world. I specialize in SE Asian countries and EU languages.I know very little Te Reo as there are no words for my engineering field and its only used in NZ. Also my Bhasa and French means I am worth more to NZ than being a weak Te Reo speaker. I generate a lot of tax revenue for NZ - that's my strength. Others in NZ are more than happy to be users of tax income. I would love to see NZ standard of education go right up so we can compete on the international market and make the country wealthier. I dream of MSM leading about improvements in maths and entrepreneurship. But that means more $ in the country to pay for schools , reduce poverty etc and I am working hard for the country I love to pull that money in

Yupp it’s embarrassing

@@seddy69I doubt you will ever see the standard of education go up! Having worked in this field most of my career NZ do not recognise any qualifications gained outside of NZ!! It’s pretty shocking how closed minded this country is..!

start by calling them Part Maori Michael, start there, start by acknowledging they ALL have other heritage they need to recognise if your race is so important

Read a book you racist idiot. Maori have pottery musical instruments in many Museum's around the world. Your right we didn't write in the english language we utilised our own version similar to hieroglyphs - see any Marae or Museum and the history is written on every carving and now adays it is in ta moko on many Maori faces - it is not the Maori's problem that you are too ignorant to learn the language. What a shock NZ schools just after the Native Schools Act saying no full bloodied Maori left, well there you go that couldn't possibly colonial rhetoric it must be fact as you learnt it in school in the 1980's - what school was that KKK Primary School. We are not all the same - as Maori aren't beating you for mispronouncing our language, we also aren't making your schools and medicines illegal - there has never been one people in NZ and we are not nor will we ever be all the same. There is nothing wrong with being unique. The only problems that arise are when one people think decide that they are superior to another race so go online and regurgitate incorrect unsubstantiated nonsense about one side while trying to make out that they are soooo magnanimous

Who said the Maori were peaceful? The Maori have always been fiercely intelligent, more than capable of using their minds as well as their taiaha - if you didn't know the history of the Moa until recently how can you possibly think you know enough about an entire culture to belittle them. PS the British only bathed once a month and that bath water was shared between the entire street - you also used to empty your bedpans directly out the window into the street - then you came over here and your sewerage is still running into our beaches this week - "most advanced culture of it's time" rubbish that was the Asian cultures who were writing and warring before the British Colony was even born, or the Egyptians with their stunning pyramids or the South American's with their ancient civilisations..."most advanced culture of it's time".

Well perhaps you should start empowering Maori then - you could start by not speaking about them as something completely seperate from every other every day NZer.

@@2wahineandadog well fyi wahine I am Maori and I don't like it. I am successful despite my ethnicity and I see through my work daily the effects on a group of people who believe their own hype. Your assertion that it's up to others to empower really shows a lack of understanding of the issue. A hand up and a way forward is fine a hand out and no way forward just exacerbates the problem. It's actually up to iwi leadership to empower but too many of those have been aboard the gravy train and don't want it to stop to pick up passengers. I would suggest that perhaps the platform is not the kind of place your going to get many people who agree with your views. And your last line.....thats exactly the point of what Michael is talking about. Maori see themselves as being better than everyone else without actually proving it in a positive way.

@@grandadneal8114 Which Maori sees themselves as being better? Anybody in particular? Be specific and don't make a generalisation as I know many Maori are just trying to live and survive like any other race in this country and certainly don't have any 'superior' attitude as you are implying.
