Watching United Shades on CNN. About Hawaii.

And how the white man took over and ruined a beautiful land and the indigenous people. Like they did with the Indians, here, in America. Kinda strange and sad to see what we did there and here. BTW, I am white. Interesting show.

1. Amazing how much food they have to import when they used to be filled

with farms. My sister told me about those ponds. Glad they are reanimating their culture.

10. That was interesting.

2. I read Michener's Hawaii decades ago. Excellent book with a lot of factual history.

White people have always destroyed/killed peaceful people.

3. Free Tibet

Who are we to talk?

4. And now the Asians run the place--------

everything changes,including the world population,which is constantly on the move.

Lots of island paradises are now heavily populated.

5. Have to disagree. The Asians do not.

Local people do.

This is the most Democratic state in the country.

We have electeds who are descended from Asian grandparents and in the case of Mazie Hirono, Asian parents.

We don’t have anyone from another country in office.

I’m glad Kamau met with Kamu Enos. He’s a good man.

Aloha.

7. You know what I meant, Asian Americans.

My point was not too many ethnic Hawaiians in charge,which was the point of the original post.

8. After the population was reduced by more than 80% by Western diseases in the last couple of hundred.

Years.

OHA, 100% Hawaiian-run, though complicated, should be considered too.

I actually didn’t read your note in that context, but in ours.

Anyway, go Sox. At least we can agree on that.

9. Right now the SOX are on top-----but it "ain't over 'til it's over".

FWIW my daughter in law is a Kamehameha Schools grad---back in the 80s.

6. Nothing compared to Jamaica
