You see it everywhere, except when some kid opens their mouth and speaks the truth .. "hey look Mum, that man is really black"

As much as I don't like him and his, he spoke up and said what he felt at the time. Good on him. Stand up and be heard, let the masses know how you feel. And he did so

I did answer your question, maybe I put too much sarcasm into the answer?

828278 2009-11-12 13:34:00 Racism exists at every level.... sad fact of life

Yeah Im as racist as they come... me and my Maori kid... yeah I'm racist alright

The sad thing is doesnt have to be a fact of life.

For this case, the guy is a public figure, paid by the public therefore has certain responsibilities to at least try and avoid the things as he has done.

As the head of the Maori party said, he is a role model, he should know better but he continues to be a dick. Obviously he has failed at his job. Fire the prick.

In saying that though I guess the majority should be fired to for not doing their jobs.

Hone can use all the excuses and expletives he likes but at the end of the day he is an elected government offical and he has to act accordingly otherwise he brings the office that he holds into dis-repute.
