Black Power gang was formed in Wellington (1970) , New Zealand by the late Reitu Harris who was the National President . Originally called "Black Bulls" but in 1972 inspired by the Black Panther Movement in the U.S. they renamed themselves to Black Power & adopted the clenched fist ✊ for there patch , to rival the Mongrel Mob (NZ's largest gang) & White racist gangs at that time. Back in the 60s / 70s the pakeha (white people) called Maori "nigga's and Pacific Islander's "Coconut's or "Booga's" who were treated like 2nd class citizens. Black Power are located in NZ Nationwide and in Australia . Membership mainly Maori , Pacific Islander's (Samoan , Tongan , Niuean , Tokelauan ) . Black Power were the only gang that had a great relationship with NZ PM Muldoon who helped them find jobs & accommodation , even shared beers with them at there pad (HQ) in Wellington . When PM Muldoon passed away , Black Power were invited to perform the the scared Maori haka to pay tribute to there "bro" .
Maōri people/ natives of ‘New Zealand’ or originally known as ‘Aotearoa’ the Maōri name of the country, Maōri were black and dark skinned people, theses days we are more light skinned/brown because of the colonisation of our country and Maōri are pretty much mixed blood with the Europeans that come here but our culture and traditions of who we really are will never change and we will keep our traditions and culture alive for our ancestors and our next generation, even though were more light skinned on the outside we will always be black and Maōri on the inside 🖤✊🏾 there’s still a lot of dark skinned Maōri around but not much.
And the gang was created by maori to fight the white system for the maori and yeah became more of a gang then a cause but they getting better and becoming more of a movement
Maori are a black race too , we were invaded by the english couple hundred years ago ,same as your guys culture we were made to feel inferior to the whites and new Zealand is still a racist country hard out,.. but we are native and cultural people
Maori are the native people of nz after generatioms of oppression, systemic racism and colonialisation by our British government our native tribal people today feel a strong pull towards gangs because they emulate a version of tribal living we have in our blood still less then 150 years ago we still ate our enemies, in the last 60 yrs during civil rights in America new Zealand felt a strong connection to the black panther movement because of similar themes of normalised racism and all the other bs that makes people rebel against Thier government but yeah nz has a long history of systemic racism our people were legally not allowed to speak our own language untill the 60 resulting in a whole generation losing their language as the govt intended, it's funny because coloured people in NZ can draw similarities to people of colour in America but white people try to shoot that down and say Maori didn't have it as bad as African Americans but it's all the same shit systemic racism is racism period and people that try to deny it obviously are on the side that had something to gain.
In newzealand there is a city called Rotorua they call it Rotovegas..Vegas...they are just singing about the Black power chapters around newzealand..like in america,/africa there are white blacks..
In New Zealand, Maori people refer to themselves as black. They’re not African New Zealanders, but black American culture is something they emulate. Black Power in this instance refers to a specific gang. Their rival gang is the Mongel Mob. Both group dress in a lot of leather, but often the delineate themselves with the colours blue and red, similar to crips and bloods.
We may not look like the N word to other people, but in our country we the blackest people youl ever see.... Maori people were called many things in the old days, and "nikanika" was one of them, which literally translates to "nigga" Black power was a organization to keep black people in New Zealand together!! Then later on became a gang... Coz obviously Maori people were treated like shit in the 50s to the 70s, but In other words, its like saying "f**k the white mans ways, we will live by our own rules, if you dont like it, too bad" so its a very similar situation and stuggle here in NZ of what it was like in the states in those times.
Our Culture in New Zealand is Maori and European and pacific islanders,for generations our Maori culture has be racially figured and we have been called darkies,hori's,savages,niggaz for a long time since the European arrival,we are originally a darker brown skin Maori race people but due to colonisation in our country there is a lot of light skinned and mixed Maori here in New Zealand, and when they say Vegas they are not talking about Vegas in america theres a town in New Zealand called Rotorua and it's nickname is RotaVega's,we are a proud culture and a warrior race,I have no say on the founding of the black power but I feel like it's similar to how the original black panthers started in america,
my people were held down by racism since 18 hondredz ever since white people have been callingng us niggas so thats the name we took and then we fond out youz had the same title
Pish... They're white because they were born white & are accepted in if they're worthy.. I know a few white BP members.. Outcast? Maybe you meant halfcast?
Vegas means Rotorua We Rotorua Rotovegas because they have heaps of casinos even in what you guys call bars we call them pubs which is short for public bars
G I'm from where there from. Hell I got cousins who are black power supporters. And black power supporters are like they rep the same colors but just don't have a patch.
Xhurr xhurr over here we have yr BLOODS,CRIPS,MMM,BP, KILLER BEEZ, TRIBESMEN, NOMADS,FILTHY FEW HEADHUNTERS,HELL'S ANGELS, HIGHWAY 51, ROAD KNIGHTS, AND FOR A LITTLE COUNTRY WE ARE NOTORIOUS.
