Hawaii does have its share of racism just like anywhere else....it's only been in statehood for 50 years and is still relatively a third world country.

And what that has to do with anything. The Hawaiians didn't ask to become a state they were forced into it and a Kingdom overthrown.

Yes, then they were REALLY forced when 86% of Hawaiians voted to join the United States. But don't let facts get in the way of your nativist rhetoric.

That's not correct, it's more like hawaii residents who had the high percentage not the hawaiians. There's an actual partition with a majority of hawaiians who were against.

The Kingdom was not overthrown about 50 years ago. Hawaiians did vote about 50 years ago to become a state. Hawaii gets more money than it sends into the federal government. What happens when the money goes away?

This thread should be closed. It has become pointless and will only deteriorate.

Is this your way of saying that you have no argument while admitting that you don't know what you're talking about?
