What Hawaiians are …
What Hawaiians are going through now would be the equivalent of blacks in the 1700…fortunatley for Hawaiians they still have their homeland to some extent, unlike blacks we were stole from ours and had no choice but to imilate and fight or perish. Some blacks went back to Africa though.
I applaude the Hawaiians for their efforts in the struggle, and hope they achieve some sort of independency.

Hawaiis are going …
Hawaiis are going through as phase just as all ehtnic groups in America that have forced to become of America. Blacks have been here for over 400 yrs..sold we are pretty much imiliated in American culture. This is not say that blacks hate the slavery issue because there are. I for one still think about what happened with my ancestors and get angry sometimes, but why harp on it.

SORRY. OK since …
SORRY. OK since you’ve started reading this its too late to stop. in 2001 a 15 year old girl was killed in a clearing in scotland. nobody knows who or what killed her but there is scratch marks all over her body and she looks horrific. she is said to roam around the world and can go 2 places at once. if you dont post this comment on 5 other videos or websites in ten minutes she will suddenly attack you and kill you in some gruesome way.

PS, tourists should stay out of the Waianae coast. No go past Koolina. We have a bad reputation for a reason.

Well, everyone’s …
Well, everyone’s economically reliant to stronger economies in today’s world. East Timor is dependent to Australia, Australia is dependent to USA, USA is dependent to China, etc. But then you ask an East Timorese, do you prefer to be an Australian colony or be independent? I bet on my own grave that the majority would say, “be independent.” Humor the Hawaiians with the same question, will you? By the way, the Hawaiian will ask back, “YOU GOT PROBLEM WITH US LIVING IN A GRASS HUT!?”

It is our duty and we must have the ability to regain our country back if it is not to late!!! Wake up and do your homework!

How in the world …
How in the world could all of us allow this to happen? He is not a natural born US citizen and now he’s the President of the US?
Hawaii, USA is not a place where he grew up, he grew up in Indonesia! Wake up people!!! He may be a swell guy but he has broken the law and is actually just another Jesuit infiltrator who bows down to the Pope and the banking cartel! In any case we are all in trouble. . We must protect our 50th state, Hawaii from losing it’s hertitage.

Hawaii had been a …
Hawaii had been a US puppet state long before the overthrow and the Bayonnette Constitution.
King Kamehameha pretty much sold out his people when he accepted help from British and US forces.

Everyone please!!! …
Everyone please!!! First of all we should all respect one another and learn to share and accept each other! Stop talking for a minute and really listen to people around you if you can,…
What in the world gave each and every one of us the right to judge one another? Besides all of that,…the comment that the bald guy said in the beginning of this video said, “Obama was a native born Hawaiian” is a lie! We are all victims of an organized crime a cartel its called the Federal Reserve…

cont. This issue is much more deeper then whats more easy and convenient for the Hawaiian people, its about saving a culture, because without a culture their are no people.

But they were never …
But they were never grumbling about “kicking sand looking for food” prior to the kanaka haole coming to Hawaii.
Hunting for food, making their own clothes, living off the land is a part of the Hawaiian culture. It is something that Hawaiians are proud of and are trying to teach to the up and coming generations so that they know where their roots are and where they came from.

If it wasn’t for us …
If it wasn’t for us they’d be speaking Jappanesse. So ya….. Has anyone else noticed an increased ing about the white man lately? Nevermind all the jobs we create.
I say we pull the plug on them and let them live they way we found them. Starving and doing animal sacrifices to there “god”.

wait, wtf, why does all teh videos on youtube say “this video is no longer available”???

so let me ask you a …
so let me ask you a question would you rather live in a grass hut, have to hunt and fish for your own food and wage war with other islands every year or would you want the convenience of having a home to live in and have food and clothing readily available to you all of those things were brought to hawaii by the white man and even if we gave the hawaiians their government back hardly anything would change, they would still be reliant on the US for the majority of the supplies they use to to live

oh, so without the …
oh, so without the white men Hawaiians wouldn’t be clothed, educated, “cultured”, blah blah blah? Listen to yourself, sounding like a typical 19th century colonist singing “The White Man’s Burden”. Give the Hawaiians their own political government, and if they fail, at least they are responsible for their own actions! and believe me it’s still way better than being colonized in your own land and be some dancing monkeys to grannies from Minnesota…

Hawaiians share …
Hawaiians share many fate with the Palestinians: a loss of their land. The difference is that Palestinians are still fighting for their lands, and hawaiians are already lost. So in a way, what happens to the Hawaiians under USA is what will happen to the Palestinians under Israeli if they stop fighting: a bunch of costumed performers serving American tourists. Or, in Palestinians’ case, those guys who guide your camel ride…

Clyde Namuo of OHA …
Clyde Namuo of OHA says “we” have the lowest educational achievment? “We” don’t have the kind of wealth that other groups in Hawai’i have? From what I see in this video, Mr. Namuo seems to be doing pretty well. He doesn’t look like he’s living on the beach in Waimanalo. Just another status quo buffoon looking for more money, power and influence, at the expense of native Hawaiians and everybody else. OHA is nothing more than a sham.

There was no such …
There was no such thing as a “family of nations” in 1893. Most of the nations at this time were competing empires. Also, during the monarchy commoners couldn’t even set foot in Waikiki as well as other prime areas throughout the islands because they were reserved for royalty. Native Hawaiians couldn’t run for public office, didn’t recieve quality education nor had their own businesses. You’re misinformed if you believe the citizens of Hawai’i had been better off back then.
