this whole cultural genocide claim
The "cultural genocide" started long before the US Government was involved -- and the Hawaiian Kingdom also practiced cultural genocide against the existing residents of these islands. There are no clean hands here.
this is an issue between the Hawaiians and the US government and the common citizen should have no say in the matter
As these Hawaiians are not currently recognized as a people or government which is separate from the "common citizen", this statement implies that only the US Government should have any say in the matter -- and from a practical standpoint, this is correct; the US has sufficient money and weaponry to stifle any attempt at "overthrow".
Haunani-Kay Trask, professor and director of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawai'i-Manoa...has trained a new generation of Hawaiian nationalists
Isn't UH a State institution, subsidized by money and special treatment from the State and Federal governments? How many times do we get to pay for this?
