Just think...the native Hawaiians were dispossessed of their land and sovereignty so that two urban Eastern European Jews and an unrepentant Japanese woman could rule over them.
And supposedly, all the guys who fought in the Pacific were doing it to make that possible.
Oddly, since some of them were my family and friends, I don’t recall any of them saying that.
Maybe it’s time to reconsider state hood, and admit that Queen LiliÊ»uokalani was wronged.
