Give Hawaii Back

...As elucidated in the article, the FBI’s database is intended to scrutinize criminal suspects.

So much for the presumption of innocence. You’re now treated as a suspected criminal in Hawaii for exercising your fundamental 2nd Amendment rights as Americans.

Since they don’t like our GI’s, and they don’t like our Constitution, at what point do the rest of us get to say, “Enough! Get out!” ?

I don’t actually wish that upon my Hawaiian friends. But it occurred to me in reading this news item, that while there is a mechanism for States to voluntarily withdraw from the Union, I’m unaware of a mechanism for the Union proper to expel a State that displays contempt for what the Country stands for.

I’ve heard the biggest plurality ethnic group in Hawaii are those of Japanese descent.

‘Alaska? Many potential reasons and it makes a good US defense outpost but practically still questionable as a front line defense.’

Alaska has tons of natural resources. Hawaii has the best looking women in the world. Don’t mean the Hawaiian women.

And 10 minutes after they become “independent”, they will become Chinese-hating a$$holes. But they wouldn’t be liberals if they were logical.

[BobL]

I think a lot of Hawaiians (most of whom stutter when pronouncing the name of their own state) want to be independent of the US also.

And that would be FINE WITH ME. They can take back the all-Democrat bunch they send to DC and shove it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I’ve heard that Hawaii is pronounced “Ha-vah-eee” by some people there.

Whereas most of us on the mainland say “Ha-why-eee”.

I’ve seen Hawaii spelled “Hawai’i” with an apostrophe in it sometimes. I don’t know if that is significant as part of the native Hawaiian language, .

[Dilbert San Diego]

If we want to expel places which hold contempt for what this country stands for, we could all think of many such places in America.

Start with San Francisco.

[A CA Guy]

There are no original Hawaiians left and there is no way I believe we should ever let another country get a foot hold n Hawaii that could be used against us.

[lavaroise]

Maybe we should have let Japan invade Hawai , let them take Hawaians for chem bio experiments in unit 731, and then nuked the place altogether.

Hawaii, in my 33 years here, is overall a wonderful place to live, with a fascinating
history & demographic, and an endlessly incredible natural beauty. There is a lovely
sense of family and community that threads people together, which goes under the
monicker "aloha."

I'm not blind to the Dem part control and racial overtones, and this gun ruling.
But there is a richness to life here I wouldn't trade.

I knew someone who was stationed in Hawaii. He hated it and never wants to go back. His wife loved it but concedes that you should stay in the tourist areas and never travel the back roads because it’s real Hawaii back there and real Hawaii hates you.

[hal ogen]

I guess the same could be said of the word “cracker” or “nigger” or “wetback” or “chink” or...

[Jean2]

As someone who has lived there since I was 11; I can guarantee it! My brothers used to talk about.

[Jean2]

Me either!

>People who have never been to the Islands have no idea about the racial tensions that exist & the anti-white sentiment that hangs in the air. “Kill Haole Day” (Haole being an ant-white term used on the Lslands) is where white children get beat & kicked every year in the local schools.

That happens everywhere whites are a minority in America. People praise the civil rights movement but the primary result of civil rights was to make it open season on white children.

[Chuckster]

It’s commonly used for white people,and has been for years,but not always in a negative way but as a descriptive.

Some groups may use it negatively,but most don’t.

I lived on Oahu and traveled around the islands for business for thirty years. In my exerience, the word "Haole" is almost always preceded by an adjective beginning F and ending in G. As in "F*****g Haole".

Negative?

[Chuckster]

I lived on Oahu for thirty years. The racism is bad enough but it was the stench of corruption that finally got to me. I sailed away in 2007. You couldn’t pay me enough to go back there to live.

[LongWayHome]

People who have lived, or live on the Islands, that have posted in this thread say otherwise about how the word “haole” is used. Go anywhere on the internet & look-up some videos of the natives verbally attacking whites on the Islands...there’s a lot of them.

I’ve been over there & I’ve seen it & heard it.

[jobim]

I live on the Big Island. Have you ever been here? I vacation in Waikiki every year,
so my view is more that of a tourist regarding Oahu. But I hear you. It's a unique place,
and I have seen many couples come, one likes it, one hates it. I happen to have fallen
for Hawaii much as Mark Twain did as he writes so poignantly about.

So may I ask where you both found your own Xanadus?

[marktwain]

I had a friend whose lifelong dream was to get a job in Hawaii. He worked long and hard at it. He finally, after enormous effort, was able to obtain a civil service position there. He was happily married with two very bright children in elementary school.

Within two years, he was looking for a place on the mainland, because of how badly the children were being treated in school.

He got a transfer (he, his wife, and kids are all extremely bright) and never looked back. Last I knew, he was working very productively in Alabama.

[LongWayHome]

I believe it. Even new Asian immigrants, on the Islands for a very short time, who can hardly speak English, often fall right in line with the locals & start yapping about the so & so haoels’ should go home, leave the Islands, and I’m leaving out the vile language.
