Where is the “Straight Talk” About the Akaka Bill?
Reading Mr. Oz Stender’s letter in Hawaii Reporter in support of the Akaka Bill reminds me of one of those crazy images called a Mobius Strip, where you start off on one side of the ribbon and end up on the other.
See his story here:
“Akaka Bill Corrects Injustices of Past and Accounts for Present”
Mr. Stender starts off talking about inter-governmental relationships between the Monarchy and the United States and ends up talking about righting undisclosed wrongs to Hawaiians.
Is the trick that we are supposed to believe that the Monarchy was a Hawaiian entity? Are we supposed to believe that the overthrow of the Monarchy was somehow a racial wrong?
What is going on here? So many questions, yet just try to get a straight answer from the so-called experts.
Please, please, please can’t we have some straight talk about this crazy legislation?
Imua.

The Akaka Bill provides the next steps of a process of rectifying past wrongs and injustices done to the Hawaiian people by agents working in the name of the United States and its military.
Buy formally getting them to give up their Inherent Rights to the Kingdom? This so called process is an attempt by the USA to legally steal a Nation, namely the Hawaiian Kingdom. Now thats no way to solve any Historical injustices and expecting it to be real.
