I hope that respected voices such as opihikao and others would weigh in on such statements. The tone and tactics of intimidation in this and other posts only promotes further division in our community. If I have misunderstood, can dakine can please explain what he/she meant?

Guides for online conduct note to only post what you want to share forever. Although posts may not be visible currently, they have not been deleted and are discoverable. Use of YELLING and racial epithets in forums connected to your real name seems particularly ill-advised.
Posting comments only to then later delete them as you've done here and elsewhere does not appear forthright. Of course, they are your posts to do with as you like, but if you truly believe your statements, why would you remove them?
While some may see this as trolling, I respectively disagree. If we cannot discuss these issues, then what recourse is there for fixing them? While there appear to be cultural differences involved that punafish and others have talked about, we all have a choice and responsibility for how we treat each other both on and offline. Honest conversations can be difficult but they need not be hostile.
Hopefully we can openly share whatever truths we are able to stand by.

Be silent, listen and learn. All you malahinis really need to learn that. But instead, all you do is yak, yak, yak. All waha. So much words coming out of your mouth and not listening to the people of this land is why wisdom will never reach your mind.
Pa'a ka waha
If you do not listen to this, or understand what Southernmost is saying, you should consider going back to wherever you came from because you certainly haven't figured out how to live here.
This is not America, as much as you all would love to think it is. Americans are occupiers here and there will be a day of reckoning. Please be respectful of the land, it's people, and their ways. Otherwise you are missing a golden opportunity to enrich your lives. And for what? So you can continue to shop at Walmart?
