you may be surprised, below the tarnished idealism there is likely more ugly baggage and poisonous double standards galore involved amongst the fervent bandwagon than you might suspect. - punamauka2

Bingo! I recall reading a sociological study decades ago describing the local culture on the Big Island as declining culture in a downward spiral. Too isolated here and not getting the necessary stimulus for growth. Most ancestors were uneducated indentured servants doing manual labor thrust into the most remote island chain in the world offering no education.
This protest is a classic indicator of the status and location of that dreaded downward spiral, the real wound. Not the lame excuse of oh we are all Hawaiian victims, even though we are mostly chop suey descendants of migrant workers, and have been wronged and had our idyllic society taken away from us. Just plain Nutz.
