Matsuda's letter advocates using the TMT controversy as a forum for Native Hawaiian disenfranchisement.
Rather than to address legitimate claims to MK, or even highlight historical usage of the mountain, he paints with a broad brush the colors of inequity.
The feelings of guilt that he shares regarding his perspective of his privilege allow him the ability to sing a song of woe that ties together every injustice that the Kanaka Maoli have endured.
He would be better served addressing those injustices directly and individually instead of tying them all together and dumping them at the summit.
