Racism is a tool the rich use to divert attention from all the stealing they are doing. Unless you look up to the KKK and the Nazis, forget about all the haole hate. We're all brothers man, we all came from Africa thousands of years ago.

Hate the big banks and corporations ripping us off. Hate the government oppressing the people that it should be serving. Hate people that have actually done something to hurt you. But love your fellow man, regardless of the color of his skin! Mahalo!

@hawaiian96chence Cause u know Hawaiian is a spirit and an entity that we can carry and no longer just a blood that runs in our veins. Its a compliment that people of other cultures love us so much that they want to carry our ways upon their shoulders.

Testimony given by lineal descendants of Kawa at the BLNR meeting of the 23rd, opposing Abel Lui’s request for a contested case hearing, invalidating Lui’s genealogical claim, and exposing his destructive caretaking ability as a “supposed” steward of Kawa. The two court orders for EVICTION NEED TO BE HONORED!!
