ʻO ka hana ʻino ka hana haole

N THE glaring din of feigned eoneem, obvious racism (hewa) raises its ugly head on the shoulders of a few ehtist who having gotten theirs, on the backs of others, and are now dead set against anyone else having a level playing field. These racist clothed in sheepskins are now blatantly open about why one of them wants to mn for OHA and that is "to destroy OHA!" Well-to-do racist cowards, Rice, Burgess, Twigg-Smith and Goemans eonspire to systematicaUy assault the Hawaiian people, although the Admission Act identifies stolen lands and the ineome from those lands must be used for five purposes, one of whieh is for the betterment of native Hawaiians as defined in the Hawaiian Homes Act. Twenty percent of that ineome was to be given to native Hawaiians and 80 percent goes to the general public. Hawaiians didn't want annexation; the United States thieves conspired with greedy hearts and minds to do this, in spite of native people. Not until 1978 did anyone try to implement the promises of the Admission Act for the entire eommunity least of aU, nā kānaka. Legislative bodies used ceded land

incomes as pork barrel for their respective communities. This glaring kāki'o was addressed by a courageous man, John Waihe'e and the legislature codified Act 304. More than a few Hawaiians have been strugghng desperately to understand the harangue of these racist cowards, Rice, Burgess, Twigg-Smith and Goemans, I

invite them (et al) to the table, so I ean try to understand why they despise us so! After aU, it was their people who stole the land, under pretext of caring for the natives. Congress and the United States president admitted a wrong had been

done. I know and you know that when a wrong has been done, retribution and eontrition usuaUy foUow so as to ease pain. Continued assaults and racist intentions feed racism on both sides of the fence. In the March 12 Honolulu Advertiser,

Mr. Steven T. Newcomb responded to John Goemans' Feb. 27 essay on Rice Cayetano. In his weU-reasoned article, "Justice memo shows U.S. never legaUy annexed Hawai'i," Mr. Newcomb states: "The Justice Department memo enables us to arrive at a number of eonelusions. No annexation of the Hawaiian Islands ever legaUy occurred in 1898. "The 'Territory of Hawai'i' was not established in 1900, despite congressional legislation purporting the contrary. The statehood vote was an attempt to hide an illegal act that began in 1893, with U.S. compUcity. "And indigenous Hawaiians, nearly aU of whom opposed U.S. annexation, and most of whom did not become citizens of the so-called Republic of Hawai'i, have never been rightfully subject to the U.S. Constimtion. This means kanaka maoU stiU have an inherent right to self-determi-nation. "By virtue of that right they may lfeely determine their own poliheal status, including the option of independence, and freely determine their eeonomie, social, and cultural development." ■
