Brash hits the nail on the head
What is going on with the Herald? Don Brash talks about wanting everybody to be equal and they call it a racist attack against Maori. Lets repeat these awful statements from Don:
Brash said Maori were capable of being elected on their own merits. There was "absolutely no case" for treating Maori people differently.
"The whole concept of a racially based political party would be seen as grossly inappropriate if wanted by any other race than Maori," he said. "What would be the reaction if a group of New Zealanders of European background decided to set up a 'European New Zealanders' Party'?
"There would be outcry, and rightly so."
"The Maori electorates were established for a five-year period in 1867. There is no logic for them at all 143 years later."
Good lord! Don should fold up his white sheets and put out his burning cross... how outrageous that he should insist on equality and respect for all New Zealanders? He is right, if I started up a whites only political party, I'd be drummed out of town and would never have a political career. Yet we have politicians in NZ who practise and condone racism every day. You question this racism and you are called the racist - as long as this continues then New Zealand will remain a small minded country that will never move forward. How embarrassing and shame on the Herald!

I wouldn't want an 'All whites' party as much as you would sanction a Black/gay/Muslim/Poles banning Britons from shops/anti British Guardian, right on yeah like, blame the 'Brits' (It's ok I didn't say Paki') party led by an 'All Black' either.
I think 'The Brits are the laziest race in the world' and 'Brits are too lazy to work' might qualify as racist remarks, now I wonder just what 'non racist' could make such comments?
Google desktop can find out.
I wouldn't know Mr S - I have never said any of those remarks in my life. I have insinuated that many people are lazy, but not a race of people. However if you can find any evidence I have said this, anywhere, then I will gladly apologise and retract it.
Consider that a challenge mate! I'm comfortable with winning it as I have never said it :) Enjoy your weeekend mate!
