HERE'S WHAT ONE USA TODAY READER SAYS ABOUT HAWAI`I'S ILLEGAL OVERTHROW
USA TODAY's article on mounting racial tension in Hawai`i was insightful...
In extending its borders over the aboriginal homelands of Native American Indian tribes, Native Alaskans and Native Hawaiians, the United States trampled the vibrant cultures of once-sovereign nations...
If the native people of Hawai`i continue to occupy the lowest rungs of society, and if the diaspora of Native Hawaiians continues to grow because of the exorbitant cost of living, Hawai`i's "melting pot" will lose its primary ingredient.
Then all of Hawaii loses — Hawaiian and haole, the Hawaiian term for a white person, alike.
