CRAAAAAZZYYYYY!!!!



...I was talking about the NZ Media in general (news especially) earlier in relation to Tapu Misa's column in the aftermath of the triple-crime week in South Auckland as committed by Polynesians. I think what we can assume from this clip is a general impulse amongst any media in any ‘Western’ country with ‘illegal-alien’ problems—especially people of colour—or immigration problems to look upon these problems through similar perspectives. Now, I think everyone who has come across O’Reilly would agree that he has‘personal’ problems with ‘low-socio-economic communities’—which I think is just another way of referring to coloured-people without making references to race or even deny the existence of racial problems in his country—Nas’s even directing his ‘war’ on the media and Fox on O’Reilly.

I’m not saying that it is the same problems here in NZ but we can assume for the time being that there are apparent and observable similarities upon which there is a basis for argument. I like the idea of ‘Discourse’ here as an informing element or process in how certain institutions peopled by similar voices with similar causes manifest themselves in relation to the society they are in.
