• Once again, Alan Duff tells it like it is.

    Needless to say, no white man would be allowed to speak plain truth so freely.

    The bottom line is that certain useless people need to be educated and motivated, not just paid to remain useless.

    An article designed to attract attention, and nicely designed to feed
    the prejudices of Herald Readers while bizarrley saying that Paula
    Bennet "is totally not to blame"- Alan Duff knows how to press the
    "right" buttons with the Herald editor. . .but in the process it sadly
    just encourages just the sort of ignorant racist comment above.

    Read to the bottom and you see that the real problem is :
    "I mean the generational pissheads and welfare-addicts. The meth-users
    and dope-heads turned psychotic on sustained drug use. I mean the next generation of losers rewarded by government to stay losers by paying
    them a benefit. Any wonder the good people of Thames expressed
    outrage, Maori no doubt amongst them.

    The group of snarling youths in the street who glare at non-Maori
    dying to "smack" them over. The drunk and stoned parents who neglected
    them like they were neglected. The same parents whose self-loathing
    became transferred abuse of their kids, from violence to sexual to not
    feeding properly, put-down verbal abuse, bereft of all forms of
    discipline.

    This is what we're dealing with and Thames is just one of numerous
    small communities where the racial divide is most apparent; except it
    isn't racial, it is class. Children in a loving Maori home do not
    behave badly. Educated Maori don't live destructively. Most Maori with
    a decent job are not for a moment dysfunctional.

    With no official analysis on why, let alone offered solutions, no
    wonder non-Maori citizens are frustrated, angry and scared and decent
    Maori are concerned. Because no one is calling the problem for what it
    is. But we have to, or it will never go away, only get worse."

    _ _ _ _

    So there you have it - a government that feeds on poverty by thiniking
    all they need to do is keep paying benefits - that does not properly
    analyse the problems, that encourages low wages by boosting
    immigration of low wage workers - thereby making it harder for our
    young adults to get jobs. The problems identified are not just Maori,
    and Duff acknowledges that, but he is blinkered as well and feeds a
    "blame the Maori" attitude from the bigots that prefer to blame
    victims than address the real call Duff is making - for targetted
    spending in education and job creation in communities like Thames - to
    get unemployment down and increase wages - to meet the promises of
    National from so long ago to "catch up with Australia" (on wages) - we
    don't hear that from them any more!

    So yes Paula Bennet shares the blame with a government that does not
    see the need - but The Herald and Alan Duff also miss the point by
    feeding on the kneejerk racism and 'bblame the poor" mentality of the
    likes of JohnO.

    I don't believe Duff changed your racism one iota, JohnO - he merely

    Duff wrote the article to express is very valid, personal opinion. I can see this concept of an opinion is foreign to you, Dickbot. You only express what you've been spoon-fed by your political masters.

    I can see you would have an issue with him though. He's self made and successful, and eschews state dependence. It's all anaethema to you.

    Needless to say, no white man would be allowed to speak plain truth so
    freely.

    The bottom line is that certain useless people need to be educated and
    motivated, not just paid to remain useless.

    Well let us make a start with our politicians, while some try to do in this newsgroup.

    An article designed to attract attention, and nicely designed to feed
    the prejudices of Herald Readers while bizarrley saying that Paula
    Bennet "is totally not to blame"- Alan Duff knows how to press the
    "right" buttons with the Herald editor. . .but in the process it sadly
    just encourages just the sort of ignorant racist comment above.

    Read to the bottom and you see that the real problem is :
    "I mean the generational pissheads and welfare-addicts. The meth-users
    and dope-heads turned psychotic on sustained drug use. I mean the next
    generation of losers rewarded by government to stay losers by paying
    them a benefit. Any wonder the good people of Thames expressed
    outrage, Maori no doubt amongst them.

    The group of snarling youths in the street who glare at non-Maori
    dying to "smack" them over. The drunk and stoned parents who neglected
    them like they were neglected. The same parents whose self-loathing
    became transferred abuse of their kids, from violence to sexual to not
    feeding properly, put-down verbal abuse, bereft of all forms of
    discipline.

    This is what we're dealing with and Thames is just one of numerous
    small communities where the racial divide is most apparent; except it
    isn't racial, it is class. Children in a loving Maori home do not
    behave badly. Educated Maori don't live destructively. Most Maori with
    a decent job are not for a moment dysfunctional.

    With no official analysis on why, let alone offered solutions, no
    wonder non-Maori citizens are frustrated, angry and scared and decent
    Maori are concerned. Because no one is calling the problem for what it
    is. But we have to, or it will never go away, only get worse."

    _ _ _ _

    So there you have it - a government that feeds on poverty by thiniking
    all they need to do is keep paying benefits - that does not properly

    Wrong. The Nat's "Social Capital" philosophy is the exact opposite. Dickbot
    proudly advertises his profound ignorance once again.

    analyse the problems, that encourages low wages by boosting
    immigration of low wage workers - thereby making it harder for our
    young adults to get jobs.

    It's easy to get a job. Employers are struggling to fill them. But to do the
    job you have to have a work ethic. Exactly Duff's point. Dickbot misses it of course.

    The problems identified are not just Maori,
    and Duff acknowledges that, but he is blinkered as well and feeds a
    "blame the Maori" attitude from the bigots that prefer to blame
    victims than address the real call Duff is making - for targetted
    spending in education and job creation in communities like Thames - to
    get unemployment down and increase wages - to meet the promises of
    National from so long ago to "catch up with Australia" (on wages) - we
    don't hear that from them any more!

    So yes Paula Bennet shares the blame with a government that does not
    see the need - but The Herald and Alan Duff also miss the point by
    feeding on the kneejerk racism and 'bblame the poor" mentality of the
    likes of JohnO.

    Clap.
    Clap.
    Clap.

    Dickbot is the world champion of missing the point, 10 years running.

    Love the way Dickbot accuses Alan Duff, a Maori, of racism against Maori.

    Typical of the likes of Rich. If you don't agree with lefty sentiment
    your a racist. Typical of comprehensionless muppets like Rich.
