[Maorii311]

Missy is my mums cousin.... Last tym i seen that side of the family was at my nans unveiling in 2004.. :( ...

[Epochofbelief]

The constant racial slurs toward European people reveals the true nature of this man and Maoris in general.

[eveykeefe]

@Epochofbelief He wasn't that kind of man @ all!! Shows how narrow minded u are!!

[supanova80000]

@Epochofbelief I apologise on behalf of all Maori who gave you a hiding in high school. We cool now?

[AniLutu]

@Epochofbelief Get over yourself. Just listen to the music.

[Vluv462]

@AniLutu

[shanel3]

@Epochofbelief Your an Idiot!?! Define Constant racial slurs.. Just because one maori boy beat you up at school, dont tarnish the whole of the race and most especially the beloved memory of this man with your thoughts.. They are neither welcome nor warranted.. Theis is not the forum for your hate... Listen to the musc and chill =)

[Epochofbelief]

@shanel3 When I need a lesson in morality from a kid bashing, dole bludging Maori, you'll be the first to know. Seriously what a cheek. I'd suggest you pull your head in and attempt to emulate good white people.

[shanel3]

@Epochofbelief Kid bashing, dole bluding maori.. Hmm quite the racist arent you?!? Like i said this is not the forum & honestly you are not worth the time.. And morality?!? on that subject judging by your comments you have no idea anyway.. So this maori will school you just a little bit.... Get a clue and/or a life and if you cant do that.. find the higest bridge and .. .. .. JUMP!! Oh have a nice day..

[Epochofbelief]

@shanel3 No not racist, just not afraid to say it like it is. You wont be schooling me about anything pal or silencing me. The world needs to know about you parasites.

[shanel3]

@Epochofbelief Parasites seem a little harsh.. Ive read some of 'Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine'...Where im assuming you got your name from..Yes most definately Racist ive been called everything from a parasite, kid bashing, dole bludger all because im maori... When you can learned conversation without racist taunts then id be quite happy to hear you out.. from a 'South Sea Islander who most defiantely and definately has the secret spark'

[BbyNative]

@Epochofbelief •racism - discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race

•discriminatory especially on the basis of race

you deny that you're racist, yet you are sitting there judging an entire race based on a couple of stereotypes?

my opinion? you're a stink bitch. straight up.

see, i'm a maori - i tell it like it is :D

oh, &one other thing; you are a racist white bastard, yet you were watching a prince tui teka video.. ?

or did you just comment this to start shit?

[mostillrx]

@Epochofbelief I feel sorry for you; you’re deluding yourself and seem happy to indulge those delusions. You’ve closed your mind based on your small view of the world and experiences. So what if you go pushed around by some Maori kids when you were little kid, harden the fuck up!

[mostillrx]

@Epochofbelief You can always go back to England if you like, see how much of an example to follow many of them are, I think you will be pleasantly disappointed. I am by no means saying they are all uneducated as a vast majority are worth knowing, highly edjucated people and I believe in reality it is the same with any race. (except Aussies ;) ) Do you really believe that what your saying is true and we should teach this to our kids?, have our schools use characters like you as role models?

[TaranakizFinest]

@Epochofbelief Clearly you were drop on your head when you were a baby! show some respect you idiot!

[Picklez008]

@Epochofbelief HA!!!!! should we reveal the true natures of European people??? Tui Teka just wasn't ''afraid to say it like it is''. Where would you like me to start huh???
