A group of Pākehā is embracing the opportunity to honour Te Tiriti, saying that a commitment to tino rangatiratanga strengthens, rather than divides, Aotearoa.
The Pākehā Project is an organisation of tangata Tiriti leaders who run programmes and workshops for Pākehā, aimed at deepening their understanding of the constitutional foundations of Aotearoa. …
The Pākehā Project’s work was focused on helping people become comfortable with discomfort-acknowledging emotions such as grief, rage, guilt, and shame, without using them as a tool for blame, Sinclair said.
“We don’t try and shame people or make people feel guilty, but we know that’s going to come when you start to open yourself up to these stories and start to see the harm that has been caused by whiteness in the world.”
This group is so dripping wet that you could fill up a swimming pool with them.
She said such sentiments only underscored the importance of anti-racism education.
“This gave me a small glimpse into the hate that fear can elicit. And it is exactly why we need programmes like ours and many others that directly address how racism and oppression work.”
I’d say ascribing harm to the the colour of ones skin is a prime example of racism.
UPDATE: It’s a very profitable grift.

You pay $15,000 per person to be taught how bad white people are. I wonder how many government departments are clients!

In an Ethnocracy, citizens would not just pay a large sum for this - primarily , they would be forced to do take such a course.
Are NZers brain dead?
Great work highlighting these self loathing individuals who are really just pretending to be maori to profit from other weak self loathing individuals and possibly govt departments as you point out David.
Perhaps I'm just jealous I didn't think of this junket first!!
Looking at the testimonials on their website, I see Kianga Ora, Waikato District Council, Orange Tamariki, as well as woke businesses. The managers are an art teacher from Massey University and someone whose main claim to fame is the she advised a former Prime Minister (I wonder who?). Obviously applying American critical race theory to NZ, noting that Western science is slowly catching up with Indigenous knowledge. I think they will make a lot of money.
Unbelievable.
Absolutely every person attending will already be reaching for our collective wallets to hand the contents to people who are offended by the actions of our forebears 5 generations ago.
I'll bet every attendee already has a greenstone pendant around their neck on a bit of flax.
I hope they mention that whiteness ended slavery and made everyone equal under the law. But that’s not tikanga so I guess they won’t.
Self-loathing is not a new phenomenon. There will always be weak minded, snowflakes and gullible government and business dweebs more than willing to be enticed into the mire from wherever the next fruitcake ideologue emerges.
If individuals are happy to spend their money to have someone guide them on a guilt trip O.K, but if taxpayers dollars are involved it needs to be shut down immediately.
Why bother reading beyond the word "pakeha?" Once that word enters the conversation you know anything following will be rubbish. Do not bless the users with your attention.
Should this group be sued for overt racism towards a specific group of NZ citizens?
