How real is the rascism ?

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

In American Samoa the families still retain possession of their land, as a triangular shaped property with the wide end at the ocean, and the tip in the mountains. When a child grows up and wants to build a house, that child negotiates with the rest of the family; parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers, cousins, for a location that is acceptable. It's not easy because other family members may want their own child to have the area in question. Once resolved, a neighboring family could still claim it is part of their property because the boundaries are subject to interpretation. 2/3rds of Samoans live in Hawaii or California, so have to get a job and rent or buy a house anyway.

If a Hawaiian person is angry about what happened 120 years ago, and believe that someone took their land, they aren't considering how complex family land rights can actually be. Someone did take land from the Hawaiian people, probably a white person, but if that hadn't happened it doesn't mean that all Hawaiians would now have a free house and yard.
