    Do you know what Maoris look like? They arent that dark, they are often fat, have short legs, and a complexion a bit like that of an Italian, or French man. THis is of course based entirely on my time in NZ as a kid. :)

        Hells Angels will not dance to call down the Gods, after an attack on a Mosque. It doesn't look like a demonstration against any color, but a reaction to the attack.

          No, but also not in the mood to pretend that it is a black power-thing :thumbsup:

            Er, the biker gang is called 'Black Power' Eddie. It is a bit of a give away you know, no need to pretend, just read the words.

              Your point was that the Angels don't care, and that this BP does. I'm pointing out that calling domestic gods in front of a muslim temple might not be a typical motor-gang thing.

              So what? Was it a closed BP-thing? Doesn't look like it. Was it a Black Power-statement? Nope, wouldn't make much sense either. Was it a normal reaction against violence? Yes :thumbsup:

                Nah, that's only in your universe :) It takes quite some imagination to see this as the forming of an alliance between Maori and Muslims.

                    So you accept Black Power is about black power? OK, as for this violent Maori gang, and yes, their violence is well known, supporting muslims. Why is that, what have they got in common? Drugs? Extortion? Hatred of the Mongrels? What is it?

                      And now also for initiating dancing in front of Muslims :D ..but since they're bikers, you pretty sure of yourself it is an act of violence that should be distrusted.

                        It MIGHT not be a show of support for Muslims in particular, but more a reaction to some bloody event. That is what they have in common; they're all in NZ, and confronted with something that was previously only happening in crazy parts of the world.

                                Of course the Haka isnt a 'Black Power thing'. I am surprised at your belief that the Black Power gang are so sensitive. :) DO they do ballet and flower arranging on a Sunday as well do you think?

                                  It's probably not so much support for muslims as a protest against the white-supremacist roots of the massacre. Just my take.

                                      First a Maori biker gang, tattooed, probably drug dealers, mostly with criminal records, called Black Power does a Haka outside the mosque, no doubt muslims were looking on thinking 'what the fuck?' and now this: Tearful students perform a moving haka dance outside Christchurch mosque | Daily Mail Online[^] They look to be mostly Maori, but some whites. Is this a case of 'if you arent white, you are my ally' Maoris are displaying here? This is deeply racist of course. And deeply misjudged, Maoris and muslims have zero in common. (except for the usual DNA we all have, and share with other apes, but you know what I mean, I am sure)

                                      Bikers, they should not be allowed to support anybody.

                                        Black Power has been around for decades and the name is from a long forgotten past of their original bikie roots. Nowadays they are just another criminal drug pushing organisation of no particular racial background run by the elderly bikies from yesteryear who may have matured a fraction. (probably to keep their customer base happy) Technically one can call themselves a Maori if they have a eighth or sixteenth blood in them and hence can appear more Caucasian then of pacific origins. I'm not even sure if their are any purebreds left now. Nowadays the haka is an overused dance of respect based on a traditional Maori war dance. It is only used as such now.

                                          Except the biker gang was called Black Power. Pretty sure they arent referring to enamelled motorcycle parts....

                                          Mate you can read racist into anything, their gang name and criminal history are NOT the story here, it is all about the people, all the people, showing solidarity. Take you small minded trolling and shove it where the sun don't shine.
