Are you another who believes colonisation was such a terrible thing for Maori . ? Does it bother you at all that the peaceful Moriori were slayed by the Maori who arrived on the shores of the country and staged a murderous take over ? That’s fact . The trouble in schools these days are that Maori are treated as victims and supported by teachers who have to be seen by woke principals to be supporting the wokeness .

PROUD AS TO BE MAORI.. News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.

He then grabbed the kettle, which was just inside the door, and poured the boiling water over the victim - who was naked at the time - directly onto her skin. As he did so, Kereopa told her “you deserve it, and that’s what you get”. He then told her he would reboil the jug and pour it on her face. She ran to seek help from her sister but she was asleep, before running into her daughter’s room and hugging her. Kereopa then went into the room and said, “once you let go, I’m burning your face”. Judge Stephen Clark noted Kereopa’s 17 family violence convictions, eight of which were against the current victim. The man responsible, Simon Terence Hamiora Kereopa, was today jailed for the incident, his ninth conviction against the victim during their 20-year-plus relationship.

@@user-oh4yd5uh4e oh yeah what about this English descent WHITE MALE 'Michael Lesley Stevens' A violent, serial paedophile who is serving a rare indefinite prison sentence says a nearly half-year stretch in “solitary confinement punishment cells” at the privately operated Auckland South Corrections Facility was illegally ordered as retribution for consensual relationships with other prisoners. Maxien Stevens, 38, who is transgender, was housed at the Serco-run facility - which houses male prisoners but also accommodates those who identify as women - from June 2020 until November 2021.

Yeah nah , because after invasion, war, destruction of economy, land theft , relocation, successive governments implementing bad policy that ignores or disadvantages a sizable proportion of their populations health and well being I am quite sure the Pakeha ability to be proud of themselves is not the issue. Now you can take this personally and see it as insulting but it is simple facts your reaction is key.
@@Goatpimp From a Maori...Shut the fuck up and get over it. Fletcher wasn't on that boat that invaded. Stop doing that 'sins of the father, passed to the son, and onto theirs and onto theirs' bullshit. This is how division begins, dickhead.
Your technically wrong pakeha is not your heritage nor your ethnicity it basically means white man I won't go into detail of what it really means lol what is your heritage where did your family originated from that's the answer there you can take pride of who you are as a person and where you are from
And that is what this song is all about it doesn't say we are proud to be brown, black, yellow or white its about taking pride of your culture that is unique in this world and reminding you who you are
Why everyone gotta be so negative so what if we are not “full-blooded Māori “ we’re still Māori we know our whakapapa that’s why we classify our self’s as Māori . you don’t need to tell us any otherwise . But even if you did that doesn’t make us any less Māori . We’re still here Ain’t we so sit the fuk down and enjoy the song or you know where the door is 👉🏽🚪
I’m proud to be English,we are all proud of our heritage but in nz it’s rammed down all nz peoples throat that Maori values are better than others,which is utter bs there is good and bad in all people .
Resentment against the maoris is at an all time high and the trend will continue as the maoris are unable to comprehend that the path they are on is counterproductive.
Mbro my people were warriors your people were colonizers who could not overthrow mine in any way , my people were few your people came in mass. The white man out numbered Māori 5-1 sometimes 10-1 yet we still resisted and out did your people not only in hand to hand combat but even with the alien weaponry 'muskets' provided to by hē tangata tiriti (people of the treaty) we still out did your people it was to the point where your English people had to recruit our Māori tipuna just to get 1 win. Just as we warred then we are still at war now for our right as Tangata whenua. The strength and resilience of my people will forever be remembered! from now until forever!! Because we know what we are fighting for! He tangata, he tangata, he tangata Tūturu whakamaua kia tina! Tina! Hara mai te toki. Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e! And if you want to put any of what I said to the test "📍 your location" and we can meet up and get down like our ancestors did!?
I think it's the fact he got to sing it in the middle of parliament, the heart of democracy in this country. Nga mihi for your acknowledgement of the songs origins......but to proudly sing this waiata in the beehive.....ka rawe!!
I used to be proud to be Maori, but in the past 20 years elite Maori have turned into a bunch of crazy grifters peddling hate and trying to play my two races off against each other. My ancestors were not victims to colonialism, they thrived because of it and fairly traded land they didn’t use for the magic of modern comforts especially blankets which were specifically mentioned as being particularly treasured. A couple of my maori ancestors were murdered by other Maori tribes while none of my ancestors were killed by europeans.
Ian glad you got your eyes open to these “elite maori” who’s only goal is to seperate the people of this country with there hatred. we need to be one people one country🙏
Why don´t you get active? You realise the problem. You realise that certain Maori are playing two races off against each other. You realise that the media is weak, do not at all have a neutral standpoint, are very left orientated. You are aware that the government with it´s Maori favouritism is creating a breeding ground for racism. You are aware of the fact that many Non-Maori have had a guts full and see Maori in a very negative racist way. You realise that many Maori are racist towards Non-Maori........especially towards "Pakeha". At the end of the day it is the image of Maori that is suffering.
why do you have to be negative? Go make a song bout being a proud white person if that makes you feel better . No care in the world from us Māoris we just doing our thing 🤣
the point of this is because māori have been suppressed for too long. the backstory behind this is that he got thrown out of parliament for wearing a māori taonga. he is singing this song because he is not only showing his pride in his culture in parliament, but also because he is emphasising his party’s points to get māori people equal with pākehā people.
Whites have done enough grand standing around the world I think the world knows to ad nauseum how proud they are of themselves. My dad got the proud English language beaten into him & his native language beaten out of him as a 5 year old when he came to NZ from the cook islands. He wet himself on his first day at school because he couldn't speak English & then got the cane for it.
Why not be proud of being Maori, a New Zealander, a Mother or Father, woman, proud to be a man, gender diverse, why not be proud of being a postal worker, a teacher, a student, Kurdish - there are thousands of things to be proud of. Try it sometime.
Can u not just listen to the aong and keep your negative comment out.. if your not maori and not proud of this song then u in wrong category kahi.. looks to me this is the most negative comment on this youtube video.. ara ake hoa he kuware koe!!!
@libertysim 1. We are Maori NOT New Zealander. 2. We dont go by percentages thats a colonial, white view 3. Who wants to be a far right White Supremist ?? 💀No wonder barely any people are publically proud to say their white huh because what has white people done worldwide that is something to be proud of? For a white person they would have to say im proud to be New Zealander to make even the slightest sense.. or where ever they were born or now live..

Mbro my people were warriors your people were colonizers who could not overthrow mine in any way , my people were few your people came in mass. The white man out numbered Māori 5-1 sometimes 10-1 yet we still resisted and out did your people not only in hand to hand combat but even with the alien weaponry 'muskets' provided to by hē tangata tiriti (people of the treaty) we still out did your people it was to the point where your English people had to recruit our Māori tipuna just to get 1 win. Just as we warred then we are still at war now for our right as Tangata whenua. The strength and resilience of my people will forever be remembered! from now until forever!! Because we know what we are fighting for! He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
Tūturu whakamaua kia tina! Tina! Hara mai te toki. Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e!
And if you want to put any of what I said to the test
"📍 your location" and we can meet up and get down like our ancestors did!?

Not his song just know that the real artist or band is Alumingati.
I think it's the fact he got to sing it in the middle of parliament, the heart of democracy in this country.
Nga mihi for your acknowledgement of the songs origins......but to proudly sing this waiata in the beehive.....ka rawe!!
The song was written by David (Dave) Para. Alumingati did a reggae cover version but they didn't write the lyrics.
You are robots haka haka🤣🤣🤣
Singing ant going to do shitttt
Should take his hat off disrespectful 😢
Ahhahahaha naaag bol
Your life is disrespectful
I used to be proud to be Maori, but in the past 20 years elite Maori have turned into a bunch of crazy grifters peddling hate and trying to play my two races off against each other. My ancestors were not victims to colonialism, they thrived because of it and fairly traded land they didn’t use for the magic of modern comforts especially blankets which were specifically mentioned as being particularly treasured. A couple of my maori ancestors were murdered by other Maori tribes while none of my ancestors were killed by europeans.
Ian glad you got your eyes open to these “elite maori” who’s only goal is to seperate the people of this country with there hatred. we need to be one people one country🙏
Why don´t you get active? You realise the problem. You realise that certain Maori are playing two races off against each other. You realise that the media is weak, do not at all have a neutral standpoint, are very left orientated. You are aware that the government with it´s Maori favouritism is creating a breeding ground for racism. You are aware of the fact that many Non-Maori have had a guts full and see Maori in a very negative racist way. You realise that many Maori are racist towards Non-Maori........especially towards "Pakeha". At the end of the day it is the image of Maori that is suffering.
True. Why is this crap happening? It's bloody sad. This from a sixth generation - living here - kiwi.
Don't misunderstand me. I couldn´t care less for the image of maoris. @@user-xb8tc3tc8t
“Elite Māori” nice try with your bot accounts 🤣 Pretty sure white people are the only billionaires in Aotearoa
Should be proud. But should leave now and take rake up an acting career. He has accomplished less than Zero.
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?Matthew7:1-5
I'm proud to be white, but does that matter to him,everyone should be proud who they are, what's his reasoning
why do you have to be negative?
Go make a song bout being a proud white person if that makes you feel better . No care in the world from us Māoris we just doing our thing 🤣
I'd be proud of you If you educated yourself
Nobody cares Damian, take a hike.
So is he100% Maori??
Why not just proud to be new Zealanders.
If a white man says proud to be white he would be a far right white supemis
the point of this is because māori have been suppressed for too long. the backstory behind this is that he got thrown out of parliament for wearing a māori taonga. he is singing this song because he is not only showing his pride in his culture in parliament, but also because he is emphasising his party’s points to get māori people equal with pākehā people.
Whites have done enough grand standing around the world I think the world knows to ad nauseum how proud they are of themselves. My dad got the proud English language beaten into him & his native language beaten out of him as a 5 year old when he came to NZ from the cook islands. He wet himself on his first day at school because he couldn't speak English & then got the cane for it.
Why not be proud of being Maori, a New Zealander, a Mother or Father, woman, proud to be a man, gender diverse, why not be proud of being a postal worker, a teacher, a student, Kurdish - there are thousands of things to be proud of. Try it sometime.
Can u not just listen to the aong and keep your negative comment out.. if your not maori and not proud of this song then u in wrong category kahi.. looks to me this is the most negative comment on this youtube video..
ara ake hoa he kuware koe!!!
@libertysim
1. We are Maori NOT New Zealander.
2. We dont go by percentages thats a colonial, white view
3. Who wants to be a far right White Supremist ?? 💀No wonder barely any people are publically proud to say their white huh because what has white people done worldwide that is something to be proud of? For a white person they would have to say im proud to be New Zealander to make even the slightest sense.. or where ever they were born or now live..
Nga mihi Matua Rawiri. Nga Mihi, Whaea Debs. Tu ake, te Tangata Whenua
Maori fucking hard !!
Hard into drugs and gang life..
