It'd be nice for them to have their indepedance back, but seriously, this won't happen.

[Christsyde777]

[Christsyde777]

I am a US citizen and want US to restore Hawaii, from the illegal overthrow.

The American Flag....made in China, shipped by Japan, distributed by Indonesians, and sold at Walmart.  I love capitalism....

Read our 'Hawaiian History' and not the 'American Version'. Also, listen to your Tutu Kane and Tutu Wahine about the history of OLD. Clinton had it right because he understood the plight of Hawaiians to retain what is theirs. Will we ever get the 'Kingdom of Hawaii' back? Or will we remain the "FAKE STATE OF HAWAII"? Here's a suggestion: Release Hawaii from the Union and grant statehood to GUAM. That way you don't have to change the American Flag.

I once heard a prominent American attorney say that Hawaii will one day be independent, but it wonʻt be because of the sovereignty movement. He alluded to an inevitable fall of the U.S. economy (following the collapse of European economies), which looks to be not impossible anymore. The thinking is that the U.S. will be in such bad shape that they eventually to have to "let Hawaii go" in order to "circle the wagons" around North America. Hmmm.

@SaveChinaTiger Its not about blood quantum. Its about sustaining our culture! The more assimilated we become with America, the more we lose our culture! No one speaks Hawaiian! Why? American assimilation. Hawaiians are unhealthy and unemployed! Why? American assimilation. Our islands are completely littered and over populated. Why? You guessed it! If you want to be here, regardless of blood quantum, you should have to assimilate to the Hawaiian culture! If you cant do that, you dont belong.

@SaveChinaTiger Did you just say thriving? R u fuckin serious? Where are you from? You obviously dont know many real Hawaiians. You're obviously a hypocrite with your "saveChinatiger" campaign.. Hey, why don't you take a bunch of Indian tigers over to China, have them fuck the shit out of them, and they wala! More China tigers... Your opinions are biased, and racist. Your just looking out for yourself and your own kind, not for us. Not for the kanaka maoli.
