In 1893 the United States overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy.
In 1900 Hawaii became a U.S. territory. In 1959 Hawaii became America's
fiftieth state. Supporters of Hawaiian sovereignty contend that the
overthrow violated international law and that the Native Hawaiians of today's
world are entitled to self-government. The overthrow may have
been illegal, but does that justify the racist goals of the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement?

What is Hawaiian sovereignty?
Hawaiian sovereignty refers to the racist political movement that asserts
that the indigenous people of Hawaii are entitled to self-governance
of the State of Hawaii. In essence, the members of the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement advocate a system of government that is independent from
the United States. The government that would be instituted if supporters
of Hawaiian sovereignty were to reach their objective would be based
on racial classification. This is unacceptable.
What are the factions within the general movement
towards Hawaiian sovereignty?
There are essentially three major factions within the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement. They are:
Nation within a nation
Total separation
Reparations
Nation within a nation.
This ideology proposes that the State of Hawaii become a "nation within
a nation." That is, Hawaii should become a federally recognized nation
of indigenous Hawaiian people. This concept is similar to what white
supremacist groups, such as WAR (White Aryan Resistance), the KKK, and
the Christian Identity movement advocate: a racially homogeneous
nation within the existing nation of the United States.
Total separation.
The proponents of total separation want complete cession from the United
States and the establishment of an independent country (presumably incorporating
human and civil rights violations, e.g., de jure race-hate policies).
This doctrine is similar to the ideologies adhered to by various reactionary/racist/fascist/neo-nazi
militia groups.
Reparations.
This is not a Hawaiian sovereignty movement in the strictest sense,
however, it is listed here for the potential it has for the promotion of
Hawaiian sovereignty based ideologies. Supporters of this movement
demand monetary compensation for wrongs committed by the U.S. government
against the ancestral members of the Hawaiian people. In other words,
advocates of this movement want money handed down to them based on the
treatment of their Hawaiian ancestors. How would such compensation
be calculated? Why not compensate the citizens of the United States
for economic loss suffered during the Great Depression?
Regardless of the specific ideology and artful language used by Hawaiian
sovereignty promoters, the general theme among the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement is clear: all non-Hawaiians get out. The Hawaiian
sovereignty movement demands power at the expense of non-Hawaiians; this
is not reasonable. Clearly, the Hawaiian sovereignty movement is
racist to the core.
What are Hawaiian immersion schools and what
do they have to do with Hawaiian sovereignty? What about Kamehameha
School?
Hawaiian immersion schools are purported to be one of the methods by
which the fragments of the Hawaiian culture are to be preserved.
In these schools, the Hawaiian language is used almost exclusively in educational
instruction. For a child to be enrolled in an Hawaiian immersion
school it is strongly emphasized that they be of Hawaiian descent; this
is obvious racial segregation and discrimination. In reality Hawaiian
immersion schools are little more than cultural re-education camps; that
is, they are institutions where youths are brain washed into incorporating
racist ideologies in their every day lives.
Kamehameha School was instituted to enable the children of Hawaii to
obtain a first rate education. However, only students of Hawaiian
descent are permitted to enter Kamehameha School. All others are
excluded. Apparently, the administrator's of Kamehameha School do
not realize that a first rate education includes egalitarian views of social
justice. Indeed, social justice does not comport with racially segregated
schools.
Why you should care about the Hawaiian sovereignty
movement.
If you live in Hawaii you should be especially concerned. If Hawaiian
sovereignty is implemented and you are not of Hawaiian descent, there is
a distinct possibility that your home could be taken away, you could
lose your job, or you could be deported. Even if you do not live
in Hawaii you should still be concerned. The simple fact of
the matter is that the Hawaiian sovereignty movement is racist and denies
equal treatment of all people. By supporting the fight against Hawaiian
sovereignty you help make the world a more livable place.
The myths behind the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
Members of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement claim that the movement
is not racist. Surprisingly, they claim that Hawaiian sovereignty
will allow the Hawaiian culture and people to be preserved and freed
from victimization by the United States and big business. Their cognitive
dissonance is self-evident:
The Hawaiian culture of today is kitsch and fragmented.
Native Hawaiian people are also non-Hawaiian people.
The Hawaiian culture of today is kitsch and fragmented.
The Hawaiians of today have become, for the most part, totally dissociated
from their culture. They are predominantly Christian and therefore
have abandoned the culture and values that were intrinsic to the religion
of pre-missionary Hawaii. In addition, they use U.S. currency and
vote in U.S. sponsored elections, yet they claim to be a distinct culture
deserving a special political/racial status.
Native Hawaiian people are also non-Hawaiian people.
In the culture of the State of Hawaii people who are of interracial
descent are very common. People who are 100% Hawaiian have become
virtually nonexistent because almost all people living today who are of
Hawaiian descent are of interracial backgrounds.
The Hawaiian sovereignty movement seeks acquisition of political power
and money based on a racially segregated polity. It is unlikely
that the leaders of the Hawaiian sovereignty movement care anything of
the Hawaiian "culture" or people. It is probable that the terms "culture"
and "(victimized) Hawaiian people" are being used as a rallying cry to
unite and (unfortunately) deceive supporters of Hawaiian sovereignty.
