Whoa, it’s been a couple of days since I’ve looked at the site, and I want to make a couple of points about my original post before I respectfully bow out of this thread.
Mark P: Your posts made me realize that I may have given the impression I supported the action taken at Coco Palms and the Hawaiian Sovereignty movement. Thank you for that and your support.
HOTPE: The link I gave was from a site called “Hawaiian Kingdom.org”. If that alone doesn’t tip you off, the first sentence makes it clear what they’re about. Of course they only post material supporting their cause. I did know that. But I appreciate the way you delivered your thoughts about examining different sides of an issue.
I confess I had never sought out or read any of the original documentation of that time period because quite frankly, I’m not THAT interested in it. I’ve got more important issues in my life. I had just never found so much of it in one place, so easily accessible. (Again, didn’t really look for it either).
I thought it was interesting to read, and felt it also gave insight as to the reasons the Sovereignty movement was formed. Do I agree with them? I can’t say because I don’t feel like I have enough information to make a decision about it. Do I think the Hawaiians got screwed? Yes, but hey, that’s what people of different races/cultures have always done to one another. The white race does seem to have perfected it though.
Many on here seem hostile to The Movement and make very derisive comments. Maybe I thought reading this material would give them a better understanding? One sided, yes, but did they even read that side before spouting off?
Again, I wasn’t trying to make a judgement on anything. I didn’t mean to give that impression. I was just pointing out something I thought was interesting.
Thank you everyone and good evening.
