Kiwis will soon shrug off their moron-and-self-serving socialists, will restore race relations to the harmonious state they once enjoyed -- and will turn their nation back toward the Civilized world.
*** From your lips to God's ears. I would hate to see NZ descend into the race baiting sewer political situation that I observe stateside.
This could complicate the issue I agree, but I believe any collective responsbility the United States has for the burden of slavery was swept in 1865. And let us admit that racism could play a part in what Af-Americans had to face (and some even still exists today), but then again Maori also suffered (and suffers in some instances) from racism so I would guess the situation is the same.
After what happened during the civil Rights era, I believe the American blacks are in the same standing as Maori people in NZ today but that's just my own 2 cents.
