Another race-tinted showdown in Hawaii (D)
Washington Post ^

Posted on 04/28/2013 12:49:12 PM PDT by mnehring

The Hawaii Democratic Party has a long history of primaries split along racial lines, with contests often coming down to an Asian-American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander candidate and a white one, referred to as ”haole” in Hawaiian. And if it wasn’t Hanabusa challenging Schatz, it was likely to be another Asian-American Democrat, because Asian candidates often win in a state that is just 26 percent white.

Over the last 20 years, there have been 10 major Democratic races that pitted a white candidate against an Asian-American one, including four out of six Honolulu mayor’s races and three out of six governor’s races.

Someone posted a link to that the other day. I think it was from 2004 with albaby as the culprit. I always wondered where that came from.

haole has the same respectful and affectionate connotation as the word ni***r.

Hawaii should never have been made a state.

It was done to ensure two more Democrat in perpetuity senate seats. It's probably too late to give it to Japan.

We should give it to China as a payoff for the money we owe them. They’re pretty much commie there already (and I used to live there many moons ago).

MJ was at Walmart the day that picture was made - he heard that they had little boys’ pants half off. (Sorry.)

Future revisionists will no doubt photoshop every face on that poster to resemble Tiger Woods. Heck, they already tried to make the three white FDNY firemen in that iconic photo of the flag-raising at Ground Zero into three different races when the city commissioned a statue.

"No picture of Michael Jackson. He was a Moonwalker."

Don't worry. Some liberal Democrat will complain and then sue NASA about a lack of diversity in pictures of the astronauts who went to the Moon. NASA will then forced change one of the pictures to a designated "minority" or an illegal alien. Maybe they'll even be forced to put Michael Jackson's photo with the group.
