“Good Korero | Men | Paepae | Ladies | Karanga”
Her post hits on the thinking that men with convictions should not be permitted to speak on paepae. But they can dig the graves and do the dishes.
Wahine with convictions - should not do karanga on marae. But they can clean the wharepaku.
Rangatahi not allowed to talk or perform on the marae in the front row if they have a conviction.
Any kuia standing near the paepae or the marae that have convictions must disappear and only come out to sweep the ground when the visitors have left.
Any person that has got a conviction should not be permitted to do karakia. They can go to hui, but not talk.
Anyone paid by Iwi and have had a conviction should only be allowed to be a back house administrator if they are known m**h heads.
Specifically Christchurch - The worst job is on the paepae. Who would want to do whaikorero?
Then there is the karanga that wahine do. Is that fu**ed as well. Ladies bashing their men and then doing a karanga on the marae after being on m**h for years, but they all good now 🫢
What about m**h heads! 🤷♂️ Paepae have m**h heads on them! Some marae have m**h head kai karanga. Some leaders whether drunk, stoned or m**hed out - still go onto the marae!
A few mates of mine are cray cray on the m**h right now but all good to do Karanga, kai korero, Whaikorero for their iwi and hapu and marae.
But yeah, good to korero as long as everything is being talked about?
Which leaves the Courts, Police, Judges, Registrars, lawyers redundant.
Or is the marae the new Court. Who is the head judge on the marae?
Her post goes sideways and everyone piles on like they did in the old days when the village decided to kill all the witches! Whether they were witches or not!
The colonial thinking is truly alive on that post and in the year 2025…shocking!
Pai te korero mena e korero ana tatou mo te katoa o te kaupapa whaikorero, karanga, marae, hapa, hara, hāpori.
Rima heneti 🤷♂️🤭👍🔥
