So one thing you have to remember about Hawaii is that Hawaii didn’t CHOOSE to become part of the US. The US seized the place and forced the Queen to sign some paperwork turning the country over to them. And now a bunch of people from the country that took over your country come every year to party it up, even if there’s been a disaster that killed a bunch of native Hawaiians.
This is why a lot of native Hawaiians have a big problem with tourists not just now, but ALL of the time. And if you say their economy is getting uplifted by tourism you will get an EARFUL about how foreign companies are what’s actually reaping the rewards of that tourism, and that the land on the island is too expensive for natives to buy BECAUSE of the tourist industry snapping it up and how they’d basically rather be poor than occupied by a party industry that encourages outsiders to come down, treat people like servants and trash the place.
Now I can’t do anything to solve this and neither can any of you. Just give them a break, guys. It’s not easy to live in another man’s paradise.
Dude it’s so sad… I am going to rant a little cause I am outraged with CBS! THEY KEEP SHOWING AND INTERVIEWING OPRAH!! Asking her how she feels and how this hurt her…Who the fuck cares about how Oprah feels about her mega million dollar house that was basically untouched while the community is hurting and many died!!! Oprah wasn’t even there, she flew in!! They keep interviewing Oprah and asking how she feels… Gail King on CBS tried to Martyr Oprah by saying Oprah went to buy some cots… How about opening that mega million dollar house for the community? How much money is she worth these days,? Why can’t she foot some of the bill for her community and actually step up if she feels so connected to the Island that she lives at 10% of the years for…
