All New Zealanders should take time to read this.....
DRIFTING INTO RACISM – By Dr John Robinson
EXCERPT > The process is well advanced; yesterday’s forecast is today’s reality. Many Maori have a great sense of entitlement; are arrogant, a people apart. They have special rights, a special place in government and decision-making, national and local – and demand much more.
The country is divided into two people, explicitly by race. This is state racism, and behind that shield those who stand for equality are labelled as racist. The times are out of joint, and our society is unhinged, mad.
For years there have been divided, divisive, meetings across the country, hui to gather and build grievance – for example, to construct a further divided constitution and government based on a fictitious Treaty of Waitangi. That formerly clear statement of equality of citizenship has morphed into a confused wish list for a tribal elite.
This will get worse.
Demands and expectations have grown over the decades; the process will continue until they are intolerable. Then will come reaction, as the majority turn against such racist separation and special powers, in a move to equality.
Maori leaders will be incensed, will resist. The mood has been to return to many aspects of the old culture, with the threatening haka to the forefront. This ‘Maoritanga’ increases the disconnection. Violence will be threatened, and will probably come, with large flag-waving marches and then conflict. Imagine a group of angry young men, influenced to think of themselves as warriors for the tribe, with loyalty only to the tribe. New Zealand society will be split, there will be civil disobedience and, possibly, separate homelands and civil war.
Non-Maori will be split, with many continuing the belief that imagined past wrongs justify recompense, including a permanent special place for all having some degree of Maori inheritance.
We cannot turn the clock back. It would have been so much better to talk to one another, to debate and share, but meetings have become even more apart. Society should have allowed critics of the Treaty industry to be heard; but (as just one example) I have been shut down many times in many places just as many others. No such change is on the horizon.
New Zealand needs a peacekeeping and conflict resolution movement, an organisation with the expertise to negotiate a way through the coming disagreement. This is nowhere thought of today.
I expect much conflict in the future........
