We can't voice our opinions on here?There's no outrage
It is culture vulture status any way you slice it especially when the people in question are the poorest in the country and had their land taken from them, but hey.....that Haka before All Blacks matches is coo.
Breh, your people are the poorest in that country, half of all the children living below the poverty line are Maori or Pacific, that is not much different than what African Americans face. It IS stealing culture when you're still not much better off now than you were 20 years ago. I could only imagine how pissed Native Americans would be if dudes started doing tribal dances before Cleveland Indian games.
We have a black president, it doesn't matter in the end who the figurehead is or how many seats you have in parliament when you are still facing social inequality that is systemic and designed to keep you where you are. Congress apologized for slavery and the US offered an official apology to Native Americans, that shyt means little if your social standing itself doesn't change. Good luck getting more reparations, my family never saw the 40 acres and a mule and the land that was taken from you is worth far more than $1 billion
Yes.
if only we could hold every man to dan snyder's standardsWhat? y'all are lying like shyt
According to Redskins fans the naming of the team is prideful and it upholds traditions
they had USA team shook, but what makes this hilarious is that they lost by 30....
they all were like 
@ Faried facial expressions, breh eyebrow went up like the rock. I see a lot of people dappin up Malta in this thread... As a Maori who lives and has always lived in NZ I gotta say most of what he's saying isn't accurate.
First off, it's an honour to do the haka, any version. Most NZ sports teams perform it to show respect to the Maori warriors of past. And as someone mentioned it is always lead by someone of Maori descent. It's not a case of stealing culture, but that culture being embraced and the haka is one of the most important things to 99% of Kiwis, regardless of race.
And before this thread gets sidetracked any further I'll add this as a last point, in NZ we currently have our own political party with seats in parliament reserved only for Maori so we always have a voice, and if anyone can show me another government who has admitted wrong-doings to its indigenous people and paid reparations of almost $1 billion dollars I'd love to see it.
On topic:I wish we were even a little bit more competitive, NZ basketball needs all the help it can get
You have said loads of racist shyt, again arguing race with you a dude that supported George Zimmerman is pointless.
I never said anything about poverty being specific to one race, however wherever white Imperialism has shown up, you'll find that the folks who aren't white tend to be at the bottom of the barrel. I'm not trying to tell you about your country, I'm trying to tell you that there are clear and obvious links between what your people have been through and what minorities in the US have & still are going through. Like us, your poverty rate is higher than whites, like us, your incarceration rates are higher than whites, like us your health isn't as good as whites, the list goes on and on.http://www.nzdoctor.co.nz/in-print/...for-health-and-still-skewed-toward-maori.aspx

You're a staunch Republican, you probably think owning slaves is cool, discussing anything with you on the topic of race is pointless.
Never said you couldn't voice your opinion, I did the same
