Hawaii residents still think that they are entitled to payment from the mainland. There are a large number of ‘native’ people who believe that Hawaii was some sort of peaceful paradise until Europeans arrived, and they think secession will return them to the ‘good old days.’ Of course that is false, and is simply another variation on the myth of the “noble savage.”
In reality, most Hawaiians are rather racially biased against white people, who they refer to as Haole (pronounced “howly”) and blame them for all of Hawaii’s perceived problems. They demand that whites pay them, because reasons, thinking that white people giving them money will solve their problems.

There is the simple fact most “natives” or tribes that were nomadic and invaded their neighbors, while some which figured out long term agriculture and tended to be less driven to warfare the simple truth no one wants to admit to they were as violent as anyone else and in some cases even more so. And the bit of care takers of the earth is largely a lie too, particularly with the nomadic tribes. They understood their land so well they would hunt or harvest the land in to nothingness and then when that occured they simply removed themselves and moved to a new area that was fertile.

I’m sure China would be quite happy to take the Hawaiian islands under their wing.

Piss on ‘em. Let them have their islands (what the Japanese don’t already own) and they can declare Obammy king.
Thinking that Joe Taxpayer is going to put up with reparations to any group is going to fall on deaf ears.

Comrades who vote for the CPUSA (D) get what they deserve.
I feel no sympathy for commies who aren’t even human.
They are property of the state so let them suck at the teat of Mommygov.
700$ from BiteMe Brandon wasn’t enough?
Sad trombone.

I love telling these “stolen land” people that no, it was not stolen, it was CONQUERED.
Stone age societies that meet iron age ones get conquered, ever time. So sorry, not sorry, and you’re welcome for electricity, and cell phones.

Do they want to get paid with crates of SPAM?
Also, there’s still the occasional Mexicans who’ll wave land grants from before the Texas War of Independence and demand we give them back their property. Ummm, no.

In the island boz and girls defense, the US gave land to the natives in the continental part of the country as well as Alaska. Why not us?
I do agree it is not owed and Captain Cook could testify to the “peaceful nature ” of the Hawaiian tribes. They fought among themselves just like the mainland tribes did.
Note: My god daughter is half Hawaiian and her mother, a full blooded lady was also an USAF brat and spent zero days there as a child or young adult.

Fine, and we’ll leave the islands just as we found them so they can return to their roots. They should get started as those bamboo and grass huts aren’t going to build themselves.
