And now with the world seeing what's going on, thanks in part to social media, the Hawaiian movement, I would think, should be much more powerful. I'm no social scientist, but with the spotlight on, public sentiment seems to be going more in the Hawaiian's favor. Look at the comments on this media. And that adds to the pressure against the construction.
Sir Alfred Lawrence the only pathetic one here is you. Do some research, maybe have a break from behind your screen and get back to reality. Indigenous / polynesian people are striving for better, trying to preserve and protect whats sacred to us. maybe your failing in life? and are just trying to blame everyone else? Either way, whatever this is that you like you do, is not healthy.
@@ngatibroffessor1840 Please don't. I'm conservative, and most conservatives are religious. Did not Moses go up to the top of Mount Sinai(a mountain holy to many cultures in the region) and received the 10 commandments thereon? Most cultures have historical root(if not current beliefs) where they consider mountains sacred, especially the highest ones. Mount Olympus was another. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_mountains Inca human mummies left at the tops of mountains as sacrifices to the gods. Laughing at other cultures for this is cultural arrogance (or ignorance).
There’s no power in those dumb idols associated with Mauna Kea. That’s why both Maoris and Hawaiians lost their sovereignty, because they have the tendency to go back to idolatry. Look at ancient Israel, at how the they lost their sovereignty numerous times to Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Syrians, Greeks and Romans because they worshipped idols. Hence, many Christian Hawaiians admit they lost their sovereignty because of idol worship that some still practice. Whoever supports idol worship in Polynesia is not doing Polynesians a favor. Stop this heathen madness once and for all.
John Yohann, idol worship on Mauna Kea and elsewhere has done nothing for Hawaiians, except called for human sacrifice, abuse of the lower class, and unfairly forbidding women to eat certain foods. This is why Hawaiian kings outlawed idol worship.
This is like a Polynesian Olympic tribal greeting ceremony. I love this so much. What passionate people these cultures are. This is what our education systems are missing in today’s schools. Kids need to be learning about these tribes, this is our history. Mahalo Mr Bullfrog ♥️🤙🏽

That has little to do with anything going on here. Why would you make such comments when this is a protest against colonization and a fight for stolen indigenous land which most if not all Polynesian countries have been affected by? China's presence in Samoa is quickly growing and when the time comes where our people have to fight to keep our ancestral and aiga fanua would you turn away our Polynesian cousins' support?
@@newleaf9seriously? You wont support your Polynesian relations indigenous rights because of a movie? You need to get your priorities straight. The two things are unrelated. I have no idea what Maori has to do with your little Hollywood meltdown. I have nothing but respect for my Samoan Tuakana. My Samoan friends are family to my children. tbh I'm pretty hurt by some of the comments I've seen on here from our cousins.
@Sir Alfred Lawrence This is a peaceful protest, those people you laugh at have a purpose, they're honorable people, standing together, not with guns, with love. Protecting there land! These people? are the guardians of the lands in the Pacific. They love there land and don't want to see there sacred mountain destroyed for profits. Why not build that telescope I'm America?
As we battle and protest for our own land... we still stand in solidarity with you all!! We stand next to you as you fight and with the world behind you all we will fight together!!! Stand up whanau stay strong Kia Kaha Kia Maia Kia ora ra!!! We love you our whanau!!!! Keep going
The state needs to hand over management of crown lands to the Native Hawaiian Commission. This is all about the state abusing the uses of that land, keeping Natives off hunting grounds and spiritual worship and allowing foreign countries use of it. Hawaiians should decide how crown land is used! It’s their birthright and inheritance from the Hawaiian Royalty!
Every time I watch any of these Mauna Kea vids with any of my Polynesians I feel so Proud to be Kanaka Maoli & all my Polys I Absolutely Love you All although I can’t make it up there from Oahu my Heart my Soul & my Mana is with all of you & also the American Indians & everyone across the globe that support this in any way Thank You from the bottom of my Heart

I have much respect and love for all native folk, but the Maori are freakin’ AWESOME...I recall reading somewhere that they are the only native culture that has never been defeated by any outside or invading force, simply because of their warriors’ appearances and ceremonial dances.

Actually, many Maoris signed treaties with the Brits without bloodshed. Only a few fought and lost. If they didn’t lose, then how did they lose their sovereignty to whites, genius?
Yeah nah LOL The New Zealand Wars were very complex and took place over a period of 30 plus years. More Maori were fighting with the British than fighting against them. There are informative doc on my channel about these conflicts.
Clint -n- I see what you mean by outside but in reality it’s support from inside of the Polynesian triangle which consist of Hawaii,Samoa,Tonga,New Zealand,Fiji ect.....
We are the same people, we as Maaori come from Hawai'i , I remember flying a man in Aotearoa from Akl to Chc, back when i was 24 years old. We chatted briefly, as i was serving Customers, But i was drawn to him, and he said to me "you look Hawaiian" i took that as a compliment ❤ I had passed through Hawaii on my way to Canada at 21. Wanted to stay, but was going Snowboarding as a 21st pressie. But felt the same passing through Fiji. Just wanted to abandon the next flight. Get off and hang ten. The CALL OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS OUR CULTURE OUR PRESERVATION OF OUR RIGHTS. WE STAND IN OUR MANA. WE STAND TOGETHER. OUR RIGHTS ARE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH. PROTECTION OF OUR INDIGENOUS HEARTS AND LANDS WILL NOT BE MESSED WITH ♥ ❤ ✨ 💙 💕 We are strong, we are solid, and we WONT BE SOLD. Kia Kaha Whanau, we got eachothers backs 😊
Thank you and mahalos, to da New Zealand and Maori people, love and respect for are Polynesian culture and supporting Mauna kea protest he Hawaiian all da ways,!?. Or odalei hi hahaha.!?
How can anyone on Earth.....take the land from these proud Hawaiians???? It is a crime.....it is criminal to allow corporations to trample and crush the people. Do not allow it to happen. The mountain belongs to the proud people of Hawaii..Do not back down, do not move an inch. The land is your home.
There are many ways of looking at the same thing. You could say that since there are already 13 scopes up there, that one more wouldn't matter, even if it is a much larger one. It's the same thing as saying it doesn't matter that Hawaii has been desecrated by outsiders from day one, and development has ruined so many beautiful landscapes and ecological systems, especially on Oahu. And that the rights of the Hawaiians have been trampled on by 'progress', along with their culture. Those who help erode other's cultures must have little conscience. It's why I moved back from Hawaii, after years.
Why is it acceptable to destroy this sacred location and hurt these people, why is the technology not being revisited, find a better way Astronomic society.
I do believe blockades can be effective tools if enough people ban together and don't give up. They can only arrest so many. Like get a couple hundred- thousand up there. I just don't believe that protests on the street corner are the same, and are only self-defeating and confrontational. This is different. This is a much greater issue than protesting a pay cut or something.
Please read and share..The lies and the irresponsibility are overwhelming starts in 1964 to 2017. The Protectors pure and innocent. Paul Takehiro Some interesting notes on the Mauna Kea Timeline: 1964 - Mauna Kea is identified by UH as an exceptional site for astronomical observation. 1968 - UH signs a 65-year general lease from BLNR for 13,321 acres of ceded lands at the summit. BLNR can terminate the lease if the lease terms are not met, including care for the mauna. A permit for “an obs ervatory”--meaning only one telescope-- was granted but numerous telescopes are built by UH without permits, input from Native Hawaiians and public hearings. BLNR later issues “after the fact” permits--again, without public hearings. 1974 - Governor George Ariyoshi, concerned that the activities on the mountain pose a threat to its “priceless qualities,” directs DLNR to make a Master Plan for the mauna. DLNR and UH draft 10 different plans, but the speed of development on Mauna Kea makes some of them obsolete before they are completed. 1975 - The Au dubon Society resists the installation of the 15-meter sub-millimeter antenna. 1995 - UH cleans up trash accumulating on the summit only after the Sierra Club files a complaint. 1998 - The State Auditor releases a scathing report documenting 30 years of mismanagement of Mauna Kea by both the BLNR and UH and reveals that, despite spending $50 million per year on telescope operations, no observatory paid more than $1 a year rent. 1999 - Despite the audit, they build two more telescopes. 2004 - Subpoenaed documents reveal that sewage, ethylene glycol, diesel fuel, and toxic mercury were spilled on the mauna. 2005 - A follow-up audit finds that UH’s management “still falls short.” A NASA environmental study concludes that 35 years of astronomy activity has caused “significant, substantial and adverse” harm. 2007 - Third Circuit Court revokes NASA’s permit for an observatory project because of the state’s lack of a comprehensive management plan for the mauna. 2010 - UH’s new Comprehensive Management Plan includes a “Decommissioning Plan” for removing observatories and restoring the site. To date, only one of the existing 13 observatories has started the process. A UH environmental study concludes that astronomy activities have caused “substantial and adverse” impacts to the mauna’s natural and cultural resources. 2011 - The Subaru Observatory spills 100 liters of orange coolant. 2013 - BLNR hears UH’s request for a new 65-year general lease, to expire in 2078. UH’s undergraduate governing body, representing 14,000 students, passes a resolution opposing a new lease. 2014 - Another follow-up audit finds UH failed to adopt a single rule to manage public activities on the mountain. 2015 - Governor David Ige temporarily stops construction on Mauna Kea after 300 mauna protectors peacefully block roads to the proposed TMT site and 31 are arrested. A petition with 53,000 signatures calling for a halt to the TMT and the arrests of protectors is delivered to Ige. UH’s President admits that “[UH] has not met all of [its] obligations to the mountain or the expectations of the community.” 2017 - Another audit finds that none of the 8 recommendations in the 2014 audit had been completely implemented. UH and DLNR have also failed and to adequately implement 32 of 54 management actions that concern Native Hawaiians. (Original post by Heidi Hart).
In this age of environmental issues we all need to stand up for the best for it like no other thanks to Jeremiah & all others there bless them & Mother Earth 🌍 we surely need it
Hi Jeremiah, I need a little clarification as I don’t understand the whole issue ( I came from the opposite side of the globe after all). So, why is there a need for another telescope? And why are the locals upset about it? I guess I don’t understand either side but I’m pretty sure I’ll take the locals side 😁🤙🏼🌺
Need for keep the entertainment going. Protesters getting tired and bored. Not enough green bottles. Crappy weather. Welfare handouts coming on the 15th. so much less people.
Mauna Kea needs you!! People of Israel, I, Nadav Yair, am calling to your attention the wrong that is being done to the Hawaiian people and their Aina, their land. The desecration that the State and Federal Government is still doing since they stole the islands from the Hawaiians! Though we are in the middle east does not mean it is not our business! Injustice in Hawaii is the same injustice other nations do to us! We as Jews, and me as a Hawaiian Jew call on all to make your voice heard from Israel to Hawaii...leave the land of the Hawaiians to the Hawaiians! Save and fight for Mauna Kea!!!
Think of the tiny carbon footprint that native Hawaiian cultures put on the world, compared to the Islands, today. This is about much more than just this latest intrusion on a magical paradise. The people are fighting for their culture, rights, and the land that was stolen from them. How could anyone side with science in this situation? It's true that we're all guilty to some extent, especially the technically advanced cultures, in having to rely on technology and the side effects, in order to feed an overpopulated world, and themselves. But Hawaii and other native cultures still could have been left alone, and assisted, rather than exploited. Such as- the white man asking the Native Americans to share the land, rather than colonizing. Or asking the Hawaiians if visitors, respectful of the Island's environment, could come to the Islands. But no settlers.
To be clear: According to National and International law, Government's oath is to act according to the rule of law; and protection of the people's rights. Human rights violations are war crimes (in this case for Mauna Kea); regarding the native tennant rights by the people and sacred lands.
Poo fea le mea ga kakaa ma felelei ai le vaega lea oga omai ai lea fai pepelo le lakou haka. E kauai e kaulelea ma le aumaga a kamaiki pea o aku faapea i luma o mea fai taua a Samoa.
I wish they would care less about a symbolic pile of rocks, and more about the silent loathing segregation and arrogance felt against whites and outsiders in general in Hawaii, which truly causes much more injustice violence unhappiness suffering and isolation, and which no one is courageous enough to bring up and talk about; ... in all honesty. Speak the truth. If you are white and don't speak "pigeon dialect" in Hawaii, you can't just freely love and enjoy the islands by going on your own camping to a place like Waipi'o Valley, or spend the night at a beach without getting violently attacked verbally and run out, or maybe even killed. I'm sorry, I don't feel motivated to stand by people whose unjust scornful sentiments towards me I know all too well up close and personal. H.C.: So you are judging an entire group by the actions of a few? Every group has its rotten apples. Me: Yes, I am generalizing. But it's a mayoritative generalizing. When you talk about "rotten apples" you're talking about the two or three trouble makers in a classroom of 30. Here we are talking about entire neighborhoods where you can't go live at (and they exist on every island) unless you become a submissively serious acting introverted little sheep that asks no one no questions, starts no conversations and stays inside his house without ever looking at anyone. I know many of these neighborhoods, and unless you are not a Hawaiian pidgin speaker, and are able to be honest with yourself and others, you wont acknowledge what I'm talking about. I've met many "locals" that laugh at the fact that "haole" won't live on their streets, or rent a house in their neighborhoods. No one want's to talk about the hate that is going on, because outside-islanders pay the price of denial and submissiveness to make their dream fantasy island lifestyle possible and stay afloat. But the truth is that locals "generally speaking the less well mannered or less educated ones", who are thousands if not 2 or 3 hundred thousands, do not want to see whites happy, and want to make sure they stay intimidated. And god forbid if you are a bit of a loaner without any strong integration to your white community, because savages will put you in their aim, and you will get beat up sooner or later out of shear evil for no reason, like I was three times in the space eight years, another three or four times verbally violently assaulted by two or three bullies at a time. Not to mention the constant 24/7 rudeness nearly everywhere and for whatever reason. All because I talked back with glee, clarity and dignity, spoke cordially but without submission, when confronted and bullied. They hate that. They hate to see happy generous pride in whites. Locals use a language of intimidation and hostile attacking confrontation taking advantage of white passivity and sensible civility, to make themselves feel important at the coast of putting down the weak and willing. It's just the truth that no one want's to bring up, because the alternative is the mainland. So you got to bow down to silent hellish contemptuous despair, and pretend you don't feel it, you are not offended nor are you hurt by it. THIS is the REAL social situation in Hawaii. Old people living alone out in Kalapana, needing to bow down and pretend they don't see the insults, the rudeness, the put downs, quietly trekking back to their little tropical shelters through a gauntlet of hate. It breaks your heart, but I use to see it every day, and it made me so angry because these were folks that just wanted to live in love with their community. Instead they were surrounded by a tarpit of isolation. ... But you go on! Go on like the rest, pretending it is not happening everywhere in Hawaii.
Who invaded who's domain to begin with? I guess you think it's fine that a slave trader discovered America, and the Anglos took over the land from the Indians. Have you tried looking at the Hawaiian's history and anguish, and looking from their eyes?
That's historical trauma, look it up, it's a real thing. It's like PTSD shell shock whatever you wonna call it? they have every right to be like that, just how you have every right to leave there land and go back to your country of origin. If you continue to stay I'd recommend NOT opening your mouth coz you sound like a whining old women.
@@Patrick.Edgar.Regini oh really, you obviously hanging in the wrong places. If it's so racist, leave, take your violin with you. You need tissues, stay on sale at Longs. You know what, buy a case, I'm gathering by the length of your comment you will need it.

Beautiful.... Love it..
We are the same people, we as Maaori come from Hawai'i ,
I remember flying a man in Aotearoa from Akl to Chc, back when i was 24 years old. We chatted briefly, as i was serving Customers, But i was drawn to him, and he said to me "you look Hawaiian" i took that as a compliment ❤
I had passed through Hawaii on my way to Canada at 21. Wanted to stay, but was going Snowboarding as a 21st pressie.
But felt the same passing through Fiji. Just wanted to abandon the next flight. Get off and hang ten.

How can anyone on Earth.....take the land from these proud Hawaiians???? It is a crime.....it is criminal to allow corporations to trample and crush the people. Do not allow it to happen. The mountain belongs to the proud people of Hawaii..Do not back down, do not move an inch. The land is your home.
Peace, Aloha and Justice.
Yes!!!!!
There are many ways of looking at the same thing. You could say that since there are already 13 scopes up there, that one more wouldn't matter, even if it is a much larger one. It's the same thing as saying it doesn't matter that Hawaii has been desecrated by outsiders from day one, and development has ruined so many beautiful landscapes and ecological systems, especially on Oahu. And that the rights of the Hawaiians have been trampled on by 'progress', along with their culture. Those who help erode other's cultures must have little conscience. It's why I moved back from Hawaii, after years.
Goose bumps, I meant chicken skin!
I believe all Fijians strands with you our Maohi cousins.
Why is it acceptable to destroy this sacred location and hurt these people, why is the technology not being revisited, find a better way Astronomic society.

Love this. Did anyone get the Japanese arrival too? Ive been trying to find a video of that.
I did not miss that one but maybe. big island news RUclips channel
I do believe blockades can be effective tools if enough people ban together and don't give up. They can only arrest so many. Like get a couple hundred- thousand up there. I just don't believe that protests on the street corner are the same, and are only self-defeating and confrontational. This is different. This is a much greater issue than protesting a pay cut or something.
Mahalo for the comment
Mahalo to you, and the Hawaiian people for teaching the world about values, morality and integrity!

Some interesting notes on the
Mauna Kea Timeline:
1964 - Mauna Kea is identified by UH as an exceptional site for astronomical observation.
1968 - UH signs a 65-year general lease from BLNR for 13,321 acres of ceded lands at the summit. BLNR can terminate the lease if the lease terms are not met, including care for the mauna. A permit for “an obs ervatory”--meaning only one telescope-- was granted but numerous telescopes are built by UH without permits, input from Native Hawaiians and public hearings. BLNR later issues “after the fact” permits--again, without public hearings.
1974 - Governor George Ariyoshi, concerned that the activities on the mountain pose a threat to its “priceless qualities,” directs DLNR to make a Master Plan for the mauna. DLNR and UH draft 10 different plans, but the speed of development on Mauna Kea makes some of them obsolete before they are completed.
1975 - The Au dubon Society resists the installation of the 15-meter sub-millimeter antenna.
1995 - UH cleans up trash accumulating on the summit only after the Sierra Club files a complaint.
1998 - The State Auditor releases a scathing report documenting 30 years of mismanagement of Mauna Kea by both the BLNR and UH and reveals that, despite spending $50 million per year on telescope operations, no observatory paid more than $1 a year rent.
1999 - Despite the audit, they build two more telescopes.
2004 - Subpoenaed documents reveal that sewage, ethylene glycol, diesel fuel, and toxic mercury were spilled on the mauna.
2005 - A follow-up audit finds that UH’s management “still falls short.” A NASA environmental study concludes that 35 years of astronomy activity has caused “significant, substantial and adverse” harm.
2007 - Third Circuit Court revokes NASA’s permit for an observatory project because of the state’s lack of a comprehensive management plan for the mauna.
2010 - UH’s new Comprehensive Management Plan includes a “Decommissioning Plan” for removing observatories and restoring the site. To date, only one of the existing 13 observatories has started the process. A UH environmental study concludes that astronomy activities have caused “substantial and adverse” impacts to the mauna’s natural and cultural resources.
2011 - The Subaru Observatory spills 100 liters of orange coolant.
2013 - BLNR hears UH’s request for a new 65-year general lease, to expire in 2078. UH’s undergraduate governing body, representing 14,000 students, passes a resolution opposing a new lease.
2014 - Another follow-up audit finds UH failed to adopt a single rule to manage public activities on the mountain.
2015 - Governor David Ige temporarily stops construction on Mauna Kea after 300 mauna protectors peacefully block roads to the proposed TMT site and 31 are arrested. A petition with 53,000 signatures calling for a halt to the TMT and the arrests of protectors is delivered to Ige. UH’s President admits that “[UH] has not met all of [its] obligations to the mountain or the expectations of the community.”
2017 - Another audit finds that none of the 8 recommendations in the 2014 audit had been completely implemented. UH and DLNR have also failed and to adequately implement 32 of 54 management actions that concern Native Hawaiians.

In this age of environmental issues we all need to stand up for the best for it like no other thanks to Jeremiah & all others there bless them & Mother Earth 🌍 we surely need it
Hi Jeremiah, I need a little clarification as I don’t understand the whole issue ( I came from the opposite side of the globe after all). So, why is there a need for another telescope? And why are the locals upset about it? I guess I don’t understand either side but I’m pretty sure I’ll take the locals side 😁🤙🏼🌺
Got my answer kiddo, thank you anyway 🤙🏼

Mauna Kea needs you!! People of Israel, I, Nadav Yair, am calling to your attention the wrong that is being done to the Hawaiian people and their Aina, their land. The desecration that the State and Federal Government is still doing since they stole the islands from the Hawaiians! Though we are in the middle east does not mean it is not our business! Injustice in Hawaii is the same injustice other nations do to us! We as Jews, and me as a Hawaiian Jew call on all to make your voice heard from Israel to Hawaii...leave the land of the Hawaiians to the Hawaiians! Save and fight for Mauna Kea!!!
Ae! And free Palestine while you're at it!
E Ala E I Stand with the people of Hawaii
Think of the tiny carbon footprint that native Hawaiian cultures put on the world, compared to the Islands, today. This is about much more than just this latest intrusion on a magical paradise. The people are fighting for their culture, rights, and the land that was stolen from them. How could anyone side with science in this situation? It's true that we're all guilty to some extent, especially the technically advanced cultures, in having to rely on technology and the side effects, in order to feed an overpopulated world, and themselves. But Hawaii and other native cultures still could have been left alone, and assisted, rather than exploited. Such as- the white man asking the Native Americans to share the land, rather than colonizing. Or asking the Hawaiians if visitors, respectful of the Island's environment, could come to the Islands. But no settlers.
To be clear:
According to National and International law, Government's oath is to act according to the rule of law; and protection of the people's rights. Human rights violations are war crimes (in this case for Mauna Kea); regarding the native tennant rights by the people and sacred lands.
Idiot
An idiot is one who fails to study law; and is unaware of one's own rights. Be careful.

YO
C'mon I was hauling bodies island wide in the 80s and 90s . NOBODY was "camping up there" .....
I wish they would care less about a symbolic pile of rocks, and more
about the silent loathing segregation and arrogance felt against whites
and outsiders in general in Hawaii, which truly causes much more
injustice violence unhappiness suffering and isolation, and which no one
is courageous enough to bring up and talk about; ... in all honesty.
Speak
the truth. If you are white and don't speak "pigeon dialect" in Hawaii,
you can't just freely love and enjoy the islands by going on your own
camping to a place like Waipi'o Valley, or spend the night at a beach
without getting violently attacked verbally and run out, or maybe even
killed. I'm sorry, I don't feel motivated to stand by people whose
unjust scornful sentiments towards me I know all too well up close and
personal.
H.C.:
So you are judging an entire group by the actions of a few? Every group has its rotten apples.
Me:
Yes,
I am generalizing. But it's a mayoritative generalizing. When you talk
about "rotten apples" you're talking about the two or three trouble
makers in a classroom of 30. Here we are talking about entire
neighborhoods where you can't go live at (and they exist on every
island) unless you become a submissively serious acting introverted
little sheep that asks no one no questions, starts no conversations and
stays inside his house without ever looking at anyone. I know many of
these neighborhoods, and unless you are not a Hawaiian pidgin speaker,
and are able to be honest with yourself and others, you wont acknowledge
what I'm talking about. I've met many "locals" that laugh at the fact
that "haole" won't live on their streets, or rent a house in their
neighborhoods. No one want's to talk about the hate that is going on,
because outside-islanders pay the price of denial and submissiveness to
make their dream fantasy island lifestyle possible and stay afloat. But
the truth is that locals "generally speaking the less well mannered or
less educated ones", who are thousands if not 2 or 3 hundred thousands,
do not want to see whites happy, and want to make sure they stay
intimidated. And god forbid if you are a bit of a loaner without any
strong integration to your white community, because savages will put you
in their aim, and you will get beat up sooner or later out of shear
evil for no reason, like I was three times in the space eight years,
another three or four times verbally violently assaulted by two or three
bullies at a time. Not to mention the constant 24/7 rudeness nearly
everywhere and for whatever reason. All because I talked back with glee,
clarity and dignity, spoke cordially but without submission, when
confronted and bullied. They hate that. They hate to see happy generous
pride in whites. Locals use a language of intimidation and hostile
attacking confrontation taking advantage of white passivity and sensible
civility, to make themselves feel important at the coast of putting
down the weak and willing. It's just the truth that no one want's to
bring up, because the alternative is the mainland. So you got to bow
down to silent hellish contemptuous despair, and pretend you don't feel
it, you are not offended nor are you hurt by it. THIS is the REAL social
situation in Hawaii. Old people living alone out in Kalapana, needing
to bow down and pretend they don't see the insults, the rudeness, the
put downs, quietly trekking back to their little tropical shelters
through a gauntlet of hate. It breaks your heart, but I use to see it
every day, and it made me so angry because these were folks that just
wanted to live in love with their community. Instead they were
surrounded by a tarpit of isolation. ... But you go on! Go on like the
rest, pretending it is not happening everywhere in Hawaii.
Who invaded who's domain to begin with? I guess you think it's fine that a slave trader discovered America, and the Anglos took over the land from the Indians. Have you tried looking at the Hawaiian's history and anguish, and looking from their eyes?
That's historical trauma, look it up, it's a real thing. It's like PTSD shell shock whatever you wonna call it? they have every right to be like that, just how you have every right to leave there land and go back to your country of origin. If you continue to stay I'd recommend NOT opening your mouth coz you sound like a whining old women.
