“Hawaii has been part of the USA for a century”

Yeah? We overthrew a sovereign government at the behests of some American plantation owners in order to get it.

I didn’t write the history. That’s just what happened.

So if you are proud of that, then wow.

#2 Give them a referendum, and let them pick. Want to be in the U.S. or an Independent nation.

#3 No Hawaii isn’t going to be invaded. Are some people looking at a calender from 1899 and think the Kaiser might make a play for the Sandwich Islands? There is also no Imperial Japanese Navy offshore either.

I never said I was proud or ashamed. I am saying that it happened.

Who do you mean by "Them"? Everyone who currently lives on Hawaii? Everyone who had an ancestor living on Hawaii when it was annexed? Pure blooded Hawaiian Natives? Which group of "Natives"? Are you going to DNA test them?

You are asking the ingredients of the vegetable soup to go reattach themselves to the plants in the garden. It does not work. Time has changed what might have be into what is. No going back.

As to your third concept, here on planet reality there is this itty bitty nation known as China who would love to take over Hawaii.
