Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He whānau tokowhā e hari tahi ana i te rā i Portland, Maine, i te wa i karanga ai tētahi tangata mā ki a rātau i tētahi kupu whakahāwea iwi i mua i te tere haere atu. Ko te whānau he whaea pango, he papa mā, me to rātau tamahine iwa tau te pakeke, me te tama 23 tau te pakeke. I roto te motokā o te tangata i te rōpū o ngā taitama mā i a ia e karanga ana 'Hey n*****s!' ki a rātou i te Paraire, ā, ka rere atu. He tokomaha nga kaititiro i kite i te kaupapa, tae atu ki te kairipoata purongo a rohe mo WCSH 6 me WLBZ 2, Jackie Ward. I tukuna e ia tana korero mo te korero i runga i a Facebook, hei'mahara ki a maatau kia atawhai ki a tatou ano.' Mai i taua wā kua puta te kōrero i Maine - e ohorere ana i ētahi o ngā kainoho o te kawanatanga. I tiritiri a Jackie Ward (māui) i te kōrero a Shay Stewart-Bouley (matau), he kaituhi e tuhituhi ana mō te iwi, me tōna whānau i te wā i karangahia ai te kupu whakahe ā-iwi ki a rātou i te Paraire.

I tuhia e ia i roto i tana rangitaki: 'Hei hapu whakauru-iwi i roto i te waahi ma, ko te mea pono ko te wa katoa ka wehe atu tatou i to tatou whare hei whanau, ka raru pea tatou i te riri o te hunga kuware me te kino. 'Ko te whai wāhi ki ngā ahuareka o ngā kai tuatahi o te puna ka puta ke te āhua o te tangata, ā, he mea pouri, ko te haerenga ki te taone nui rawa o Maine inanahi te rā i riro ai te kino hei mea whaiaro, ā, i ako taku tamahine iwa-tau-tau, kei reira ngā tāngata e kore rawa e mōhio ki tōna āhua, engari hei utu, ka whakaiti i a ia ki te kore noa iho i te n*****.' Ko Ward i noho tahi me ia i te Tauranga Tawhito i tana kitenga i te aitua, a ka mea, i taua wa tonu kua maroke ia, a, kaore i taea e ia te mohio he aha te mea e tupu ana. I tuhia e ia ki Facebook: 'Inanahi i te Tauranga Tawhito, he whanau whakamiharo e wha nga tangata e haereere ana i Fore Street e koa ana ki te ra, e haere ana ki roto, ki waho o nga toa me te katoa i te taone nui o Portland. 'I tatari ahau ki waho o te toa me taku kuri i a rātou e haereere ana i Fore...
I kite a Jackie Ward i te whānau tokowhā i te whakahe ā-iwi i karangahia ki a rātau i a rātau i waho i te rā o te Paraire. Ko Shay Stewart-Bouley, he pango, e whakahaere ana i tētahi rangitaki e kiia nei ko Black Girl In Maine, i te taha o tana tāne mā me tā rāua tamahine, 9, me tā rāua tama, 23.
