"The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is who is truly to blame. Instead of educating the kids as they are legally mandated to do, they confiscated millions of dollars annually in trustee bonuses. They then created an education system set up for the elite, a small percentage of the island kids. This has caused more and more rifts within the entire local community, keeping it racial and racist.
Time to cut out the lifetime welfare benefits for people who are not disabled or we can expect more ghetto behavior. It's also time to offer excellent education to all local kids, no more divide it's 2016."
EXCELLENT POST !!! I HAVE WAITED over 30 years for the Hawaiians to realize the Office of Hawaiian Affair's COMPLICITY in keeping their own down. And I am at a loss as to why some Haoles do not see how this matters to THEM.
Aside from the issue of humanity, unnecessary struggle in any certain segment of our society creates strife for the rest. Why are Big Island Hawaiians with homeland leases being denied mortgages? Where is the Office of Hawaiian Affairs ? Can they only issue notices of non-liability ?
Yes, cut out the lifetime welfare benefits and provide them better education and financial means to purchase a roof over their heads.
Our past attempt at gently suggesting to others that trustee "Bonuses" are "out of proportion" with the needs of the people have been received by many as an "insult" to the leaders. So refreshing to read this in print !!
I am from Waianae. I still love it but each year we watched it become more militant and more unsafe. We realize that this CAN happen here........and it does not have to happen here.
