    ALOHA Kakou, e Hawaii,
    This Symbolic Resolution could lead to other Resolutions banning other words like Haole.

      Right on, Pomai! It gets nonsensical. Especially when they redefine the word haole to mean white when it means foreigner. Those haole Melika are so ignorant and stupid! That's what we can expect from a racist WASP society of the U.S.A. They are still struggling with their racism. That's their kuleana and not ours.

      Next they will ban all expletives they use in the American English language. Good point! LOL....

        e Tane,
        It's not only those Haole Melika that is the problem, it's also native Hawaiians. For many years many people both haoles and native Hawaiians have said to me that the word Haole is Racist. A Well Know Kanaka Maoli Lawyer one time said that WE should not use the word, Haole.
        In San Francisco the Haole teachers there treated me as an equal. Not like home here when I went to school. In San Francisco I could sit up in the Front Row Seat if I wanted to sit there. I was never Put Down as a Hawaiian when I went to school in San Francisco by the Haole teachers there.
        I'm very proud to have lived and gone to school in San Francisco. Beside my Hanai, Kekapukainohea, my Haole Brother is Johannes van Hoff. Who I first met when we were in the 6th grade. His parents were my Oma and Opa. That's Dutch for Tutuwahine and Tutukane.
        Until we get the government of our Kingdom in place, I believe that we must be Maka Ala on what the State of Hawaii and the United States governments do in relation to the rights of our Hawaiian Nationals of the Hawaiian Kingdom nation of Queen Liliuokalani.
        Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom, o Pomai

    What a waste of money. These U.S. Americans are so stupid and silly. This symbolic resolution is in the same category as the Newlands resolution; SYMBOLIC and doesn't have the effect of law; that's why Hawai'i isn't part of the U.S., it was never annexed.

    In the time when money is tight; I can think of better ways to use the money. Leave it to the idiots! Racial hate is a White problem; they live in a racist country and promote race-hate expressions. This symbolic resolutions will do nothing to change the complexion of the U.S.A. or change their mind-set except to point fingers at others. F#$k the U.S.A.
