      Even throughout history they knew we were to similar in our strife and struggles so we were pitted against each other.

      @dimcclung Před 4 lety +7

      I’m an American who has Native American ancestry, though a small percentage. My genetic makeup is primarily white. I watch hakas because they alternately fascinate and inspire me. I also tear up. I know very little about my native ancestry, as it has been diluted over time. I have no knowledge even to what tribes my ancestors belonged. I feel saddened when I realized how native Americans were nearly erased, their culture tamped down and forced to be hidden away. I am proud to be an American, but not of its legacy in terms of how non-whites were treated. America has to do better.

      @Darren Scott no. Everyone can be racist. Sadly, I have seen racist comments from people of colour. Just because you're white, doesn't mean you're racist. But also, just because you are a person of colour, doesn't mean you are active in reducing racism. This is hard and difficult, but this is a fight against racism, constitutional, constructional racism. Racism embedded in our society. Racism embedded in our world. This is a fight against that. For a society where everyone, of every race, is treated equally and has the same opportunities as anyone else. No matter the colour of your skin.

We want equality for people, all people. We want to stand united and value each other's lives based on the fact that we're all human not by the color that human may be. What you said was beautiful because there is no us/them rhetoric. And it makes us all accountable. It says hey no matter what your skin color is, if you are saying things or judging people based on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character, you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

      Could mistake for one. Cops in other developed countries just don’t have these tactics and problems,

    • @patrickbeverley4950

      I recognise the second one they perform as being "Tika Tonu" which I used to perform with a kapahaka group as a child
      Ki aro
      Kia whakaronga, kia mau!
      Hi !
      Ringaringa e torōna
      kei waho hoki mai!
      Kss Kss
      Tika tonu!
      U - e!
      Tika tonu!
      U... e!
      Tika tonu atu ki a koe, e tama
      Hiki nei koe aku whakaaro, pakia!
      He hiki aha to hiki?
      He hiki roa to hiki?
      I a ha hā!
      E tama, te uaua ana
      E tama, te mārō
      Roa ina hoki ra
      Te tohe o te uaua na
      E tāu nei.
      Āna! Āna! Āna! Aue... Hī!
      ENGLISH
      The leader of the group says the following:
      Pay attention
      Listen up, take your stance
      Arms outstretched,
      out and back
      The rest of the group joins in with call and response:
      What is right is always right!
      (that's right!)
      What is right is always right!
      (that's right!)
      Be true to yourself, my son!
      You have raised my concerns, so listen up.... .
      What is this problem you are carrying?
      How long have you been carrying it for?
      Have you got that? Right, let's go on.
      So son, although it may be difficult for you. Son, although it seems to be unyielding
      no matter how long you reflect on it
      the answer to the problem
      is here inside you.
      Basically it was written by a man for his son, and although translation isn't exact due Maori and English being so different, it's a haka often used to express understanding, solidarity and respect for movements and events.

      @ A more correct pronunciation of Ka mate is more like ka-mar-tear. with out dragging the A or R so you're basically just saying the TE part. probably doesn't make sense lol but saying tay is usually the way a white person would say it.

      Nah man. Our cops are really good people. The police here would be in support. They would certainly support protest as well as Haka and are pretty cool with Tikanga (understandimg Maori protocol).
      We have had 26 deaths from cops to citizens. If US sized would be 300. All cop related deaths result in immediate stand down till the mandatory investigation is completed.
      US had 1,000 killed most years.
      Our 26 is across the entire 180 years of our country.
