Dear Editor (Sent to the Otago Daily Times 29/12/16)
....With regard to Moana Jackson's and Margaret Mutu's reply to my letter concerning their racially motivated attempts to hijack our nation's Constitution ( O.D.T 17/12 ), I would like to say that I am one of those weirdos who believes in the unity - the oneness of all humanity and that what that we share in common outshines our racial / cultural differences as the sun outshines a candle.
I further hold that only ignorance can believe otherwise.
However, ignorance is not entirely unheard-of in human affairs and too many New Zealanders are completely hood-winked by wall-to-wall anti-European / anti-colonial propaganda and "revisionist history".
Sadly and unnecessarily, some of these spell-bound folk make themselves enemies of those who would otherwise have no enemies.
Fake news and misinformation has long history and it did not start with the recent American election.
In the specific case of N.Z there is little to choose between the international Left's ongoing campaign to smear everything truly European and Christian, and N.Z's "politically correct" / radical Maori version, which does exactly the same. Between the two of them it is costing us our domestic civil society and the world its civilisation.
Thank God that many sensible Maori do not agree with this rubbish. If only they would publicly speak out ( like the brave ..... does ) then "wicked white men" like myself would be spared the task.
The "great injustices" allegedly inflicted upon Maori by the British colonials and settlers are malicious inventions. They never happened.
Even minor injustices were few and far between. All real historians know this, but to openly say so is not conducive to success in their ( and many other ) professions.
If I thought for a moment that Mr Jackson and Mrs Mutu have the slightest interest in truth, justice, and real N.Z history, or that our differing opinions were simply "misunderstandings", then I would leap at the chance to meet them. But as things are it would be a waste of time.
Here's a crazy thought - all those afflicted with the Jackson / Mutu syndrome could instantly alleviate their envy, hostility, and paranoia by simply owning their European genetic and spiritual / cultural heritage instead of ignoring it. Then they could delight in it..... even skite about it ....whatever ...... I won't hold my breath.
These days, university echo chambers are the natural habitat of anti-western "intellectuals" of every stripe, and the evidence suggests that what is "decided" therein bears little resemblance to reality.
It seems all too obvious that the part Maori extremists don't realise that it is only the politically correct, hard Left "Pakehas" who have lost their minds.
The rest of us ( wrongly side-lined as we admittedly are) know exactly what's going on.
