The europeans took those lands long ago. It's old news. Natives have little power. Hopefully Oprah contributes to Hawaii instead of just taking like the colonizers.

And???????? It’s called business!!!! Mad because a woman is doing it? Or mad because a Black woman(billionaire) is doing it? Search your “ learned behavioral prejudices”. They aren’t an opinion. They’re prejudices!!! Dummy!

I’m glad you made this comment. When native Hawaiians had trust lands given to them by the royal families to care for elderly Hawaiians, indigent Hawaiians, to educate Hawaiin children, and medical facilities for native Hawaiians many of those trust lands were dissolved because politicians in Hawaii called it an oligarchy. The revenue from these lines is what kept senior citizen Hawaiians in Lunalilo homes. the Queen Liliuokalani trust helped fund indigent children of Hawaiian ancestry. Queen Emma trust helped to provide medical for native Hawaiians. Bernice Pauahi bishop trust revenue was used to educate native Hawaiian children. Calling it an oligarchy and dissolving the lands but allowing The island of Niihau to be owned by the Robinson family, and the island of lanai to be owned by Larry Ellison. No one said anything about it. Right now Mark Zuckerberg is stealing lands out from under native Hawaiians on the island of Kauai and no one is making any waves about it. But a black woman who is a billionaire buys a large portion of land to farm on and everybody has an issue with it. She’s the only one who has a native Hawaiian cultural advisor working for her.

Uuumm I think she's buying land that no one lives on and she's probably Gunna buy it just to give it back 🤫 u know..she has a good heart I can't see her buying land and filling it with bullshit mainlanders....
I reckon Tulsi Gubbard is part of the plot, she was so involved in politics representing the area and once upon a time they would utilize the rain for plantations because it rains a lot but the clouds stop at the mountains and the rain water goes straight back in the ocean (that's why the storm surge did nothing to stop the fires that never even hit the mainland mystifying the locals like it was engineered) and all this was all destroyed by corrupt politicians, the plantations no longer there, the water no longer utilized all happened under her watch and she says oh, it's drought, this is probably the real reason she left the Democrats and not even went with Republicans so she appears genuine. Obviously, she has accomplished a lot in the military but in politics let's face it she never really clocked on, what did she really fight for, endorsing Bernie Sanders and national security apart from that never really delivering for the people, just a hanger oner till this day. This is just my own personal theory based on my own observations of late, research and feedback from the people of Maui, liberal supremists are the worst of the lot.
@@iceman22mhow about the 80,000 kids missing??? The majority buying land in Maui were also big buddies with Weinstein and were frequent visitors of Epstein’s Pedo Island …
Hawaii doesn’t need to sell out their land to these Elites to find help for their deer population problem. All they need to do is bring in some hunters and tell them a daily Limit and their problem will be solved. Islanders can use the meat themselves. Problem solved and selling out your Homeland isn’t necessary!
And the hunters will buy licenses which will fund the state's wildlife management agency instead of spending tax dollars to control the wildlife overpopulation.
@808frost3 not surprised Blackrock bought some land in Maui. Blackrock is known for corruption for using EGS, DEI and CEI. They also have property in Ukraine.
@@Yourinneridiotisshowing.You think she wasn’t aware of this planned event? She’s already buying more land after the fires. Locals are getting phone calls all day everyday from companies trying to buy their land. It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a conspiracy against the natives living in Maui.
Same mindset as Markle. Camera crazy. Me me me! Look what I’M doing. Aren’t I great?? Oprah Wouldn’t dream of doing true charity work without everyone knowing about it.
All of her properties were left unscathed. Keep your eyes open for the land grab by her and her elite friends who want to take Hawaii from the Hawaiians.
She was only there for a photo opp. I missed the part where she donated millions to rebuild because she cares. Just stating the facts I don't dislike anyone
I guess it depends on how she treats other people that come onto her land. Will she be like Zuckerberg and instantly have police surround them and threaten them? Even though where they are walking is public property along the beach? For some reason, I believe she will behave like the rest of them. It’s that club you know.
I crawled from under the “rock of knowledge”. You should try it sometime. Anyway. No comments on the 825,000, King Ranch, which is privately held. Any rebuttal on that?
It kind of makes me sick all these rich people buying so much land in a place where Hawaiians can't even find housing. Or taking land that could be publicly enjoyed instead of hoarding it for private ownership. Come on. You'd think there would be law preventing what seems to be a form of colonization. Or are officials and local municipalities only keen on getting those millions?
Same thing is happening in Cali with our borders all affordable housing being taking by illegals it’s put horrible burden on the poor citizen and our health care system. And now with us being gentrified since 2015 so many of us natives are going homeless.
Imagine..... Your neighborhood burned down and some rich lady buys all the land in the neighborhood, then proceeds to build new homes and charge much higher than the neighborhood hood was previously. You have no place to live and are forced to move. Got the land for cheaper then usual and booted everyone....
That’s completely illegal under the United States constitution. Every American can purchase land in any one of the 50 States. Hawaii has enough discrimination as it is.
I truly hope..Oprah Winfrey is reading these comments...I once met a paralyzed woman..on Maui ..in a wheelchair. who said she was a horse handler ranch hand on Oprah's property & that she was paralyzed while working caring for Oprah's Horses..& she said..Oprah& her people threw her to the wind..No help..no support!
I have a close relative who works at an airport where Oprah once flew in on a private plane. Airport employees were told they were not allowed to look at her directly when she exited the plane and went to her waiting limo. It’s a shame all the unworthy mortals there missed out on such an opportunity….
I saw her at War Memorial gym. She brought her own film crew, ran her “pillow & sheet” donation like the talk show host that she is. Now, she is a pretty much a- no show - on the Maui tragedy topic - since she got some negative flashback. How come we are not seeing a tiny house village pop up on that large Kula parcel? Surely that is affordable to billionaires that truly care. I’m not impressed that she hires locals. Of course she hires local, who else is around on an island to hire for doing work for you? Oprah honey, get stronger, roll up your sleeves and open the doors, to your heart. Open the doors to the land you purchased. Not just Oprah though….Bezo, Zuckerberg, and the others Richie rich folks too. The world is watching. Shuck off the old Energy and open the doors of your 💓heart.
The 😈 elites watch and rub their greedy hands with glee. Their empathy doesn't exist. The silence is deafening --no genuine offers of help without strings attached. Shame on them. The world is watching. Karma is waiting
If Hawaii, Maui, is going to allow this to happen, it should come with rules set in place. " With the purchase of this land ,you must give back to the Hawaiian peoples an affordable housing project" instead of only TAKE TAKE TAKE! SHE CAN OFFORD THAT AND SEVERAL MORE! DREAM ON!!!
Do you have the same complaint for the American who purchased 80% of the island of Lanai? Or Mark Zuckerberg purchasing native Hawaiian owned land out from under them by using quiet title tactics?
That’s what we have been fighting for in Cali when the developers moved in when gentrifiers started coming in droves in 2015. Owners were selling homes and apts not telling long time residents natives many gens here. All the sudden some men in suits were serving renters telling them you have 60 days to move we own this now. Many lawsuits have gone down here ppl suing the owners or developers to give them measly move fees. Same time it was happening here it was happening on NY and San Fran I was telling everyone I knew and family do you not see what’s happening. I’m the one they call a hypochrodriac in the family so again I was just overreacting. But once it got bad where developers were renting out or buying whole parking lots. To park their trucks and trailers in so all their hard hat construction guys could come and go for lunch/beaks. While they torn down, built or refurbished tons of land all around Los Angeles I knew what was happening moment I seen it. Yes it’s old buildings and houses that are falling apart they don’t want to fix them and put poor ppl back on them. How would they be able to make the money back for refurbishing and renting them back out to poor ppl who can’t afford them. My thing is where do they expect all these poor ppl to go if they haven’t built affordable housing to rent. And then on top of it leave our borders open making our housing crisis worse. So now you have all these new fancy or nicely refurbished buildings going for a lot. While they stand next to the old buildings with the poor so basically they want to spread out all these poor they don’t care where they go. Whether it be to other states or other parts of the city or homeless to the streets as long as they can get rid of them so they can modernize Los Angeles. I get it it’s like an old car you aren’t going to keep putting tons of money into it eventually you going to just junk it and get a working car. But it’s foul because what do you expect all these ppl to do. I’ve lived in my old building 14 yrs pay $1300 a month for a 1bdr with a slumlord my place is nice cause I’ve put money into it cause I can’t afford to move. If they refurbish or sell me and my family will be homeless cause I can’t afford $2200 a month for a 1bdr room and I’m disabled. Recently my mother and step father died tragically so I’ve signed up for some resources for housing I pray come through soon. It’s really sad to always be worried if you’ll have a place to live or food to eat. I have a few friends right now in their 40’s and 50’s who work and are homeless. They just can’t afford the rents making $18 an hr even rooms are $1000 and more.
The mainland has vast tracts of land, and 100- and 1,000-acre land deals are not uncommon. Ranch, manor, wine farm. Rich people want to feel like kings. Show off wealth. However, it is wrong for them to monopolize Hawaiian land in the sense of the mainland. I wish she would play rich on the mainland.

She could buy the waterfront area in Maui that's burned and donate it back to the original owners to redevelop in a similar way ~ especially given the loss of historical sites and artifacts. I don't feel she's unreasonable but I think Hawaii should have caps on land ownership... In my opinion, all states and countries should ~ to maintain majority original culture. Maybe create an "implant" tax.
That is something. When I went to Burger King I bought a drink. I was 1 cent short. And that lady made me walk to my car to get 1 cent. That lady was south asian. Probably owns the bk. What oprah donated is something because there are people out there who won't give anyone a penny
This is not a good idea. First, the fire, then you got billionaires coming in to purchase the land, why didnt she buy it before the fires??? Greed!!! She should be donating to rebuilt the island not for her and her rich fiends, but for the locals who so respectfully took her in. 😢
Bad idea. Opreee would first make any potential inhabitants of her many houses sign NDAs, then they would be required to pass a background check, afterward they would sign a contract for repayment of her largesse with interest at the going rate. And, of course, they could not talk amongst themselves, either. We all know that Opreee does nothing which wouldn't profit her in some way. So, how will Opreee highlight herself in this tragic situatioin??? By filming every second of her "charity" for Lahaina and turning the hours of despair into one-hour episodes of a reality show for her very own network!! You get a pillow and YOU get a pillow and YOU get a pillow!!!! Isn't Opreeee a saint!?!?!
Money gets what it wants. Even here in New Hampshire, land prices have gone through the roof. Locals can't afford to buy property and so outside interests snap up everything for B&B/VRBO etc.
Because one person with no children needs all of this!!! Disgusting!!! Should be illegal!!! But hey, she gave out pillows and sheets for those who lost everything… Watch and see what happens… I wish people would stop worshiping these insanely rich people.
This should NOT be allowed to happen. The rich are in effect, stealing from the poor who need that land. A billionaire and and outsider at that, should not be allowed to buy that land. Period.
You have to get a permit to go hunt in exclusive areas, and they are hard to kill. Now the locals won't have access to the land Harpo purchased, which is where many animals congregate.
Maui must bite the bullet and place higher taxes on part time and tourism industry users. Making way for full blood Hawaiian people to own their own lands. It is a cultural need in the Pacific Island culture to be connected to the land, generationaly. Maui people must have the opportunity and tax allowances to own their own land. We have colonized the Hawaiian islands. The island leaders must place the financial burden where it belongs, on the visitor. My family has been going to Kaanapali since 1965. One hotel all Island owned. My grandparents would be invited to someone's home for a luau. 2022 their great grand children are in Maui, Kaanapali hotels for miles. The great grandchildren were invited to boogie board with local people, "here's the keys to my truck go ahead and grab the boards ,we'll meet you down there" That is who the Maui people are. It just should be so, native Maui people receive tax credit, and 1st chances at land and down payment aide. Especially for full blood Maui. We must stop the colonialism mindset.
To kitkat: You are absolutely DELUSIONAL, and you are an absolute RACIST. General land ownership in the USA cannot legally be based on RACE. That's why the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act is in fact unconstitutional, despite its existence. You talk about "full blood" Hawaiians. To continue, they would be forced to mate only with each other. That's not freedom. BTW, ONLY Hawaiians can lease 1 ACRE of land for 99 years for only $1 per year. The US established that over 100 years ago.
🐇 You are the company you keep. 🕳Who are Oprah's friends?? Harvey Weinstein Kevin Spacey John of God Russell Simmons Bill Clinton Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Dr. Phil Ellen Tom Hanks Bill Cosby Roman Polanski. 🍄
It's unbelievable how much hate a tragedy like this has generated. This is a time to unite in love for our fellow man. Instead, people's lowest instincts are coming to the surface, using this tragedy to further divide our country. Lahaina and Maui will recover if we all contribute what we can, whether it be money, time, encouragement and assistance to others in need. MAUI STRONG ❤
Hmm... It's crazy because now i can barely find anything anywhere on RUclips or online about her involvement in the fires and things she did before and during...
It should be illegal to try to buy up damaged lands after a disaster unless the people list for sale and they pay fair market value not a big discount.

Her place was fine post fire
Thats any land. not just Hawaii
@@_west33... Nothing her, Bezos or Zuckerberg own was endangered....
What about water rights? I know Maui farmers in Hana have been struggling to get their water rights restored.
I reckon Tulsi Gubbard is part of the plot, she was so involved in politics representing the area and once upon a time they would utilize the rain for plantations because it rains a lot but the clouds stop at the mountains and the rain water goes straight back in the ocean (that's why the storm surge did nothing to stop the fires that never even hit the mainland mystifying the locals like it was engineered) and all this was all destroyed by corrupt politicians, the plantations no longer there, the water no longer utilized all happened under her watch and she says oh, it's drought, this is probably the real reason she left the Democrats and not even went with Republicans so she appears genuine. Obviously, she has accomplished a lot in the military but in politics let's face it she never really clocked on, what did she really fight for, endorsing Bernie Sanders and national security apart from that never really delivering for the people, just a hanger oner till this day. This is just my own personal theory based on my own observations of late, research and feedback from the people of Maui, liberal supremists are the worst of the lot.
Oprah, " Look under your seats everyone and see what Oprah is giving you !"
Crowd , " Under our seats is on FIRE!!!"
Wow these comments
Where are the 500+ kids that are missing? 🤔😯🤫🤐
Not funny
@@iceman22mhow about the 80,000 kids missing??? The majority buying land in Maui were also big buddies with Weinstein and were frequent visitors of Epstein’s Pedo Island …
"Surprise mutha phcka ".
And then she can take all your kids and sell them! Everyone gets one! She's a monster.
so rare to capture one alive.
Yup pedophile, baby eating, demon worshipping elitest.
they think they are going to live forever, but they're not
Did Oprah have anything to do with the Maui fire? Seems like her house was not burned down unlike the rest .
@@stephans2974her home may not have burn, but if she doesn’t get her self right with The Lord, she will burn 🔥
she hired firefighters on her land BEFORE the fire started. Let that sink in.
Oprah is so greedy in my opinion, i absolutely detest how she takes advantage of people.
BUT....YOU....YOU ARE SOOOOOOO DIFFERENT!!!
@@drjojo5551 Yes I am!
She needs to donate a million at a time. She’s got hundreds of them.
plus it will just be a tax write-off for her anyway
Yeah.... what ever her tax right off will allow!!
You mean ‘Thousands’
So should the other billionaires, right? Not just Oprah, right?
She makes $25-$30 million a month she could donate $5 million a month and be fine.
Hawaii doesn’t need to sell out their land to these Elites to find help for their deer population problem. All they need to do is bring in some hunters and tell them a daily
Limit and their problem will be solved. Islanders can use the meat themselves. Problem solved and selling out your
Homeland isn’t necessary!
And the hunters will buy licenses which will fund the state's wildlife management agency instead of spending tax dollars to control the wildlife overpopulation.
Seems awfully fishy that the local lands were set ablaze right after. I never trusted this chick anyway, but this is pretty strange
She is definitely a pedo...
6/30/2023 Blackrock bought thousands of share in Maui Land Company and also is one of the largest shareholders of the electric company HECO
@808frost3 not surprised Blackrock bought some land in Maui. Blackrock is known for corruption for using EGS, DEI and CEI. They also have property in Ukraine.
Shame on her ! Taking advantage of a tragic situation. SHAME ON HER
It's her signature. Check out the Montecito fires ! Same smell.
@@Yourinneridiotisshowing.You think she wasn’t aware of this planned event? She’s already buying more land after the fires. Locals are getting phone calls all day everyday from companies trying to buy their land. It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a conspiracy against the natives living in Maui.
this video is 7 months old, and she has been a 15-year resident. get off your soapbox.
How come no one is questioning the price tag .. $6 mill for nearly 1000 acres seem ridiculously low
Why does Oprah need cameras when she helps people🤦♀️
Needs proof to offset the bad stuff.
Because she wants to show to e everybody that’s she’s next evil mother Theresa. She is a devils daughter.
Exactly!!
So other rich people will take notice and follow suit🤷
Same mindset as Markle. Camera crazy. Me me me! Look what I’M doing. Aren’t I great?? Oprah Wouldn’t dream of doing true charity work without everyone knowing about it.
Respect and Justice to Maui 💪
Keep Hawaiian Lands in Hawaiian Hands 🌺✨🕊
Billionaire grabs land from local Hawaiians. Politicians in their pocket.
When you're "writing off" a donation, then that's not charity.
Yes it is.
It’s not a coincidence that the land was set ablaze. Keep your eyes open. Those are enemies that tried to destroy and devalue her land.
boom
💥 😢 👍
All of her properties were left unscathed. Keep your eyes open for the land grab by her and her elite friends who want to take Hawaii from the Hawaiians.
She was only there for a photo opp. I missed the part where she donated millions to rebuild because she cares. Just stating the facts I don't dislike anyone
@@chowsindahouse She lives there. Lol. It’d be a lot more suspicious pledging millions vs. handing out towels this soon
So much for Hawaii for Hawaiians.
And now everything else has been burned but not her or anyother millionaires property
I guess it depends on how she treats other people that come onto her land. Will she be like Zuckerberg and instantly have police surround them and threaten them? Even though where they are walking is public property along the beach? For some reason, I believe she will behave like the rest of them. It’s that club you know.
She already has. Denied access to a road.
Oprah donating $100,000 is like you and I donating $1.00!!
Yes. It’s a donation for a worthy cause! $1.00 or $1k dollars. The amount or who it comes from is irrelevant!!!!
@@altonweaver7757 Two words, WOKE!!

@@altonweaver7757 what rock have you been sleeping under?
I crawled from under the “rock of knowledge”. You should try it sometime. Anyway. No comments on the 825,000, King Ranch, which is privately held. Any rebuttal on that?
It kind of makes me sick all these rich people buying so much land in a place where Hawaiians can't even find housing. Or taking land that could be publicly enjoyed instead of hoarding it for private ownership. Come on. You'd think there would be law preventing what seems to be a form of colonization. Or are officials and local municipalities only keen on getting those millions?
Same thing is happening in Cali with our borders all affordable housing being taking by illegals it’s put horrible burden on the poor citizen and our health care system. And now with us being gentrified since 2015 so many of us natives are going homeless.
Imagine.....
Your neighborhood burned down and some rich lady buys all the land in the neighborhood, then proceeds to build new homes and charge much higher than the neighborhood hood was previously. You have no place to live and are forced to move.
Got the land for cheaper then usual and booted everyone....
Whose here after the terrible tragedy. How did this fire start?
DEW
DEW
"Winfrey Island"!! Everyone hide your kids!
The problem is that this is just a surface understanding of this woman.
😂 and now a surprise fire there takes out the locals
These people have no morals
Stop selling our lands to Non-Hawaiians. Let them lease, but not own…
That’s completely illegal under the United States constitution. Every American can purchase land in any one of the 50 States. Hawaii has enough discrimination as it is.
Your land???
Oprah you are ev-'sfghvil
that's racist.
People are going to raise up soon against these overlords.
Yes. It's coming
I truly hope..Oprah Winfrey is reading these comments...I once met a paralyzed woman..on Maui ..in a wheelchair. who said she was a horse handler ranch hand on Oprah's property & that she was paralyzed while working caring for Oprah's Horses..& she said..Oprah& her people threw her to the wind..No help..no support!
Thank you for this testimony!!!!
So sad.
I have a close relative who works at an airport where Oprah once flew in on a private plane. Airport employees were told they were not allowed to look at her directly when she exited the plane and went to her waiting limo. It’s a shame all the unworthy mortals there missed out on such an opportunity….
@@A2D4 That is so strange...
@@A2D4 and all the airport sheeple complied...huh?????
What's her intent to own that much land????
Vacation hotspots.
I saw her at War Memorial gym. She brought her own film crew, ran her “pillow & sheet” donation like the talk show host that she is. Now, she is a pretty much a- no show - on the Maui tragedy topic - since she got some negative flashback. How come we are not seeing a tiny house village pop up on that large Kula parcel? Surely that is affordable to billionaires that truly care. I’m not impressed that she hires locals. Of course she hires local, who else is around on an island to hire for doing work for you? Oprah honey, get stronger, roll up your sleeves and open the doors, to your heart. Open the doors to the land you purchased. Not just Oprah though….Bezo, Zuckerberg, and the others Richie rich folks too. The world is watching. Shuck off the old Energy and open the doors of your 💓heart.
It’s nothing but a PHOTO-OP
for them. They don’t care about the people.
Oprah just donated 30million to her dog’s to ensure their safety.
The 😈 elites watch and rub their greedy hands with glee. Their empathy doesn't exist. The silence is deafening --no genuine offers of help without strings attached. Shame on them. The world is watching. Karma is waiting
The best donation from these two would be to leave Maui.
If Hawaii, Maui, is going to allow this to happen, it should come with rules set in place. " With the purchase of this land ,you must give back to the Hawaiian peoples an affordable housing project" instead of only TAKE TAKE TAKE! SHE CAN OFFORD THAT AND SEVERAL MORE! DREAM ON!!!
Do you have the same complaint for the American who purchased 80% of the island of Lanai? Or Mark Zuckerberg purchasing native Hawaiian owned land out from under them by using quiet title tactics?
Get out of here!! Oprah get out of here!!!
So develop the entire island. An what about the animals an environment
Omg. 😮I hope this fire was not arson. How Oprah want the land that has burned and the people can't afford to rebuild. Omg. Omg. 😢
That’s what we have been fighting for in Cali when the developers moved in when gentrifiers started coming in droves in 2015. Owners were selling homes and apts not telling long time residents natives many gens here. All the sudden some men in suits were serving renters telling them you have 60 days to move we own this now. Many lawsuits have gone down here ppl suing the owners or developers to give them measly move fees. Same time it was happening here it was happening on NY and San Fran I was telling everyone I knew and family do you not see what’s happening. I’m the one they call a hypochrodriac in the family so again I was just overreacting. But once it got bad where developers were renting out or buying whole parking lots. To park their trucks and trailers in so all their hard hat construction guys could come and go for lunch/beaks. While they torn down, built or refurbished tons of land all around Los Angeles I knew what was happening moment I seen it. Yes it’s old buildings and houses that are falling apart they don’t want to fix them and put poor ppl back on them. How would they be able to make the money back for refurbishing and renting them back out to poor ppl who can’t afford them. My thing is where do they expect all these poor ppl to go if they haven’t built affordable housing to rent. And then on top of it leave our borders open making our housing crisis worse. So now you have all these new fancy or nicely refurbished buildings going for a lot. While they stand next to the old buildings with the poor so basically they want to spread out all these poor they don’t care where they go. Whether it be to other states or other parts of the city or homeless to the streets as long as they can get rid of them so they can modernize Los Angeles. I get it it’s like an old car you aren’t going to keep putting tons of money into it eventually you going to just junk it and get a working car. But it’s foul because what do you expect all these ppl to do. I’ve lived in my old building 14 yrs pay $1300 a month for a 1bdr with a slumlord my place is nice cause I’ve put money into it cause I can’t afford to move. If they refurbish or sell me and my family will be homeless cause I can’t afford $2200 a month for a 1bdr room and I’m disabled. Recently my mother and step father died tragically so I’ve signed up for some resources for housing I pray come through soon. It’s really sad to always be worried if you’ll have a place to live or food to eat. I have a few friends right now in their 40’s and 50’s who work and are homeless. They just can’t afford the rents making $18 an hr even rooms are $1000 and more.
1000 acres! Why? Why can't the locals buy back their land?
The mainland has vast tracts of land, and 100- and 1,000-acre land deals are not uncommon. Ranch, manor, wine farm. Rich people want to feel like kings. Show off wealth. However, it is wrong for them to monopolize Hawaiian land in the sense of the mainland. I wish she would play rich on the mainland.
Warning to the Rich
Jas 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Jas 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Jas 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Jas 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
I think so too she's got enough I feel bad for the islanders here on the mainland they should be enjoying there homelands .
yeah.....islanders do not understand hard work!! lying around.....fishing.....love making....smoking dope.....but not success!!!
people's actions speak volumes
The entirety of Hawaii should be declared a tribal reservation with only indigenous Hawaiians being legally allowed to own ANY land.
AMEN BROTHER!!! SECEDE.......THEN REVERT BACK TO A KINGDOM!!
The government let her buy the land sooooooo call your congressman
She needs to start saying, "you get land, you get land, you get land".
She could buy the waterfront area in Maui that's burned and donate it back to the original owners to redevelop in a similar way ~ especially given the loss of historical sites and artifacts.
I don't feel she's unreasonable but I think Hawaii should have caps on land ownership... In my opinion, all states and countries should ~ to maintain majority original culture.
Maybe create an "implant" tax.
they dont care about us.. only about the bottom $. It is evident. @@MB-hz7wm
A100,000 dollar donation by Bllionair Winfry is nothing means nothing
That is something. When I went to Burger King I bought a drink. I was 1 cent short. And that lady made me walk to my car to get 1 cent. That lady was south asian. Probably owns the bk. What oprah donated is something because there are people out there who won't give anyone a penny
Walked to my mom's car I meant. I don't own any car
Slap in the face.😱
It'll buy50 thousand bottles of water maybe, a meager donation from someone like her.
This didnt age very well..
This is not a good idea. First, the fire, then you got billionaires coming in to purchase the land, why didnt she buy it before the fires??? Greed!!! She should be donating to rebuilt the island not for her and her rich fiends, but for the locals who so respectfully took her in. 😢
lavi....the locals will NEVER TAKE HAOLES IN!!!!!!! NEVER!!
The ranch has space for hundreds of tents for those displaced by the fires
bub....would YOU leave the HILTON for a crummy tent?????
oprah needs to help house peoples during the fires
I agree
She is the people that work on her land that's what slave owners do?
Bad idea.
Opreee would first make any potential inhabitants of her many houses sign NDAs, then they would be required to pass a background check, afterward they would sign a contract for repayment of her largesse with interest at the going rate. And, of course, they could not talk amongst themselves, either.
We all know that Opreee does nothing which wouldn't profit her in some way. So, how will Opreee highlight herself in this tragic situatioin??? By filming every second of her "charity" for Lahaina and turning the hours of despair into one-hour episodes of a reality show for her very own network!!
You get a pillow and YOU get a pillow and YOU get a pillow!!!! Isn't Opreeee a saint!?!?!
How did she even get 1000 acres for 6 mill… Maui is not cheap
That would be too kind. She despises those people.
She bought land at a bit over one thousand dollars an acre?? Yer kidding.
Wow. NUTZ
2023
OPRAH SET THE FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING?SHOULD'NT THE STATE USE WHAT LAND IS LEFT TO BUILD "IF ANYTHING" AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR HAWAIIAN PEOPLE?
The "state" doesn't control everything yet.
AH!!!!!!!THERE IT IS!! THE FAVORITE WORDS OF DEADBEATS!!! AFFORDABLE!!!!!!!
all of us need to stand tall and take Oprah out, after all we gave her what she has.
Money gets what it wants. Even here in New Hampshire, land prices have gone through the roof. Locals can't afford to buy property and so outside interests snap up everything for B&B/VRBO etc.
Lol donations is equals to tax write off its not because she really wants to help.
Because one person with no children needs all of this!!! Disgusting!!! Should be illegal!!! But hey, she gave out pillows and sheets for those who lost everything… Watch and see what happens… I wish people would stop worshiping these insanely rich people.
This should NOT be allowed to happen. The rich are in effect, stealing from the poor who need that land. A billionaire and and outsider at that, should not be allowed to buy that land. Period.
Was Ted Turner an outsider!!! People only know you’re an idiot when you open r mouth a speak!!!
If she was sincere she should donate that land back to the Native Hawaiians.
OR......if the hawaiians were sincere.....THEY would have bought that land decades ago!!!!!
She recently took over 100,000 maui kids in Hawaii and put them in shipping containers. But nobody will talk abt that
And now she’s on the news stories showing support, chile you can’t make this up
Lol. She’s made “contributions” 🙄 political contributions 😒
Now maui catches fire.
Looking at this NOW, August, 18th, 2023... certainly hits different.

No deer problem WE GET HAOLE PROBLEMS

@@pyros425 Racist!
You have to get a permit to go hunt in exclusive areas, and they are hard to kill. Now the locals won't have access to the land Harpo purchased, which is where many animals congregate.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Oprah had something to do with that fire starting. She has the most to benefit
Oprah and her people need to leave Hawaii and give the land to the people of Lahaina
...and now a fire that destroyed Lahaina on Maui while she hands out pillows, using it for a photo op! Oh how she donates soooo much, give me a break!
Maui must bite the bullet and place higher taxes on part time and tourism industry users. Making way for full blood Hawaiian people to own their own lands. It is a cultural need in the Pacific Island culture to be connected to the land, generationaly. Maui people must have the opportunity and tax allowances to own their own land. We have colonized the Hawaiian islands. The island leaders must place the financial burden where it belongs, on the visitor. My family has been going to Kaanapali since 1965. One hotel all Island owned. My grandparents would be invited to someone's home for a luau. 2022 their great grand children are in Maui, Kaanapali hotels for miles. The great grandchildren were invited to boogie board with local people, "here's the keys to my truck go ahead and grab the boards ,we'll meet you down there" That is who the Maui people are. It just should be so, native Maui people receive tax credit, and 1st chances at land and down payment aide. Especially for full blood Maui. We must stop the colonialism mindset.
Yeah well so did my family and the Africans took it.
To kitkat: You are absolutely DELUSIONAL, and you are an absolute RACIST. General land ownership in the USA cannot legally be based on RACE. That's why the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act is in fact unconstitutional, despite its existence. You talk about "full blood" Hawaiians. To continue, they would be forced to mate only with each other. That's not freedom. BTW, ONLY Hawaiians can lease 1 ACRE of land for 99 years for only $1 per year. The US established that over 100 years ago.
SO MAUI WILDFIRES ARE HER DOING

Yeah but the internet is saying shes into trafficking
so much worries about climate change and the rise of waters, yet buying land on a island....
It's unbelievable how much hate a tragedy like this has generated. This is a time to unite in love for our fellow man. Instead, people's lowest instincts are coming to the surface, using this tragedy to further divide our country. Lahaina and Maui will recover if we all contribute what we can, whether it be money, time, encouragement and assistance to others in need. MAUI STRONG ❤
you forgot....FREE LABOR!!!!!
The people are dealing with an enemy that does not wear a uniform and they operate in the shadows, how about waking up to it?!
the people complaining about the obvious problems with this fire are not further dividing us, the rich elites are. you are duped or lying
Only natives can own those lands. The king of Hawaii has this in all laws.
It's unfortunate though that those kids of those hard-working ranchers we're that foolish to give up all that land four measly 6 million
