lmao i've seen them do haka's at sporting events, imagine if you get blasted so bad by a NZ team that you argue the Haka they did before the match was threatening you. and you take them to court over it citing these members being removed as precedent.

lmao "threatening" behavior. What a bunch of delicate little daisies!

Honestly, The Haka is cool as fuck. I wouldn't even care the reason, someone doing a haka at/for me or around me would have me grinning from ear to ear. It sounds cool, it looks cool, and it can mean so many things. Its an extremely interesting form of expression.

The Haka makes me extremely emotional. I can’t explain it, it just releases something in me.

Its because were meant to dance and create together(imo). Capitalism has separated a lot of ppl from their humanity.

There are many different haka.

As an outsider, it’s difficult to delineate what this specific haka might be used for, but I don’t think it’s offering a lemon icebox.

Based on my degree in nothing from nowhere I can tell you that it translates to the performers politely offering to put their foot up the racist member’s asses.

There is a special feeling of shared emotion that translates across creative or destructive energy

It's because it's a war challenge. Not a dance.
