Throughout history, white people have left a trail of disease, rape, murder, and slavery everywhere they have gone. The Hawaiians should rise up and take their country back

What is this strong hatred towards haole's? really now? There are TONS of asians from filipines/laos/thai/japan/kore­a/chinese people and micronesians that constantly parasite their way into these islands and take over jobs, take all the damn farm land, get government benefits that some of us who actually bust our fucken ass don't even get to have

@SkipHawaii Illiteracy is for the those who think I shouldn't be capable of doing so. =) Titles and certificates are an extra bonus, but true knowledge and education comes from with in one's self. My desire for truth and equality stretch farther than my heart and mind. It's hard to have decent conversation for me in the states with most people. They tell you bits and peices of how they feel about certain topics, but never give up the whole cow. Hiding only hurts our relations.

@SkipHawaii I travel light, just have my mother here in the states to worry about. She lived the Island life and told me she isn't ready to go back yet to live out the rest of her life just yet. I have one friend who's been marginalized his whole life, but I sent him to Hawaii a few years ago, and now he has something to look forward to for he is building a career around medical billing to go back and live there. My ex-friends love the American lifestyle too much, had to let it go

Well in your profile you say that your unemployed, illiterate and into hip hop. It’s good to see you are moving back to the Philippines. Are you going to take your family and friends with you? Do you need any help packing?

@bobslay12 It is a way to express that Hawaii is in distress.

[Skullking489]

Well so many homeless people keep getting shipped to Hawaii with one way tickets from other states, but people don't know who's sending them.

Born in the Philippines, raised in California. I've been preparing myself for my 25 year return home. I used a trip to Maui in May to kind of break myself in for what I should expect when I return to the Philippines. I have many problems with whites on the mainland already, but seeing them act the way they did when I was "in your house" was too much for me. Your hospitality helped me find myself and disregard everything I ever learned from this "American" structure. I shouldn't have left.
