Hawaii history and cannibalism

[TomK]

Dory asked:

"But I see nothing by Ted that's directly related to your question. He says nothing of the kind, only you do. Maybe I am missing something? Please help me here."

It's right at the start of the thread. Pahoated's comment:

"This is a continuing problem with white people never understanding the depths of the Hawaiian culture. It was a civilization, not tribes, not primitives, not savages, not cannibals, although they did eat human parts."

So I asked how people eating human flesh aren't cannibals. It's a very simple question. If you can't understand how this is directly related to Pahoated's comment, well, I am quite stunned. Perhaps you should put down those rose colored glasses. His post was also racist and you had no problem with that either. In fact, your response to his disgraceful post was:

"Hey PT, that is well said!"

I know you and PT have a history of deleting posts you're embarrassed about, but don't worry, these ones have been saved.
