(Note: Garry Mallet is not a current member
of the New Zealand Equality Education Foundation, but his conference
paper is posted here because what he says is very relevant to the Sex
War, and because of his emphasis on repetition, which the New Zealand
Equality Education Foundation also feels is a vital tool to counter
the repetition of politically correct lies which are beamed at us daily
by the Media University Complex (MUC). For an explanation of the MUC,
see Peter Zohrab's book, "Sex, Lies & Feminism")
This is an incredibly simple issue. It's not
easy - but it's incredibly simple. This is a battle to roll back apartheid.
And for any battle you need tools.
I want to arm you with the three tools that will win us this battle.
They are the truth, courage and repetition. And I'll explain each of
them in turn.
The first tool is truth.
In seeking the truth the first step is always to call something by
its proper name. And I say to you that when a government treats people
differently based upon their skin colour then that is apartheid - that
is the truth.
You must believe that - with all your heart and mind - to win this
battle. Because, on this issue - there are two positions - and only
two positions you can take. You either believe that government should
not treat people differently based on their skin colour. Or you believe
the opposite - that government should treat people differently based
on their skin colour.
It is that simple - it is that straightforward -you either believe
that government should treat people differently based on their skin
colour or you don't. Do not waver from this truth. There is no halfway
house - there's no such thing as "being half-way equal before the law."
You either treat people as individuals and judge them by their character
and actions or...
…you put them into categories according to the colour of their
skin. So as I said previously - when a government treats people differently
based upon their ancestry or skin colour that is apartheid -- accept
nothing else.
The second tool is courage.
In these times of gutless political correctness -- you need courage
to speak the truth. You will be attacked - you will be called names
- and you might be afraid. But I promise you that this attack - although
it may seem overwhelming - will come from a small, vocal and unfortunately
well connected group. The attack will almost always come from those
who benefit from the apartheid system. These people are the enemy in
this battle.
But every time you do speak out - every time you strike out for racial
equality you will gain strength - you will gain courage and most importantly
you will gain support.
The third tool is repetition.
You see this battle must be won in those bastions of political correctness:
the universities and of course in the parliament. But it also must be
won in the rugby and netball clubs, the smoko rooms, the cafes, restaurants
and bars, around the dinner tables and the playgrounds of our country.
It must become a principle that all New Zealanders hear over and over
and over again.
And I make no apology for repeating this like a mantra but - when
a government treats people differently based upon their ancestry or
skin colour that is apartheid - that is the truth. You will be amazed
how quickly people will accept the truth. And they accept it for two
very good reasons:
Firstly because it is the truth (if you want to see a racist squirm,
ask one to justify why government should treat people differently based
on skin colour).
And secondly because we all know it is the truth - but many of us
have simply been afraid or too apathetic to speak it.
But I promise you - people are craving to hear this message - and
I mean they are craving it -- I've had countless phone calls saying,
"good on you mate - it's about time someone stood up and said something
about this."
I'll give you two examples:
One old chap dying of lung cancer rang me last night. He apologised
for not being able to yet down to the conference. Then he told me lust
how proud it made him that at last some New Zealanders were finally
standing up and saying what had to be said. He then went on to tell
me that he's a member of ACT party - but anyway - we started off on
the right foot.
Another example came when I was preparing the article promoting the
conference. I was working with a desktop publisher - a woman of about
29 years old - and she asked me if I really believed all that stuff.
I immediately said yes that I did. Then I asked her "do you think governments
should treat people differently based on the colour of their skin?'
And she immediately said "no of course not," and promptly agreed. She
knew the truth all right - she'd just misplaced it for a while. It's
that simple.
The only chance the supporters of apartheid have is if we refuse
to take up the fight. There is no way we will lose provided we do three
simple things:
- Identify the truth and I'll say it for you again - when a government
treats people differently based upon their ancestry or skin colour
that is apartheid - that is the truth.
- Have the courage to speak and live the truth - and I promise you
it gets easier the more you do it.
- And thirdly -- and I can't express this strongly enough -- repeat
it - over and over again. When a government treats people differently
based upon their ancestry or skin colour that is apartheid
- and that is the truth.
"As far as government is concerned there should only be one race
and that's the human race."
