Then, I order you and your family around, use your things and rearrange the rooms. I take down your photos and religious symbols, replace them with my own and make you speak my language.
One day, I dig up your garden and replace it with crops that I can sell. You and your family must now buy all of your food from me.
Later, I invite my father and his buddies over. They bring guns. We take your keys. I forge a deed and declare my father to be the owner of your house. I bring more people. Some work for me.
Some pay me to stay in your house. I seize your savings and spend it on my friends. You and your family now sleep on the porch.
Finally you protest. Being reasonable, I let you stay in a corner of the house and give you a small allowance, but only if you behave. I tell you, "Sorry, I was wrong for taking the house." But when you demand your house back, I tell you to be realistic.
"You are part of this family now, whether you like it or not," I say. "Besides, this is for your own good. For all that I have done for you, why aren't you grateful?"

ALOHA Kakou, e Hawaii,
AFter uniting the Hawaiian Islands into a nation, Kamehameha I told his people to welcome the people that will be coming to their islands, as they would be part of your Blood!
It is said that today there are over 50 or more of the Blood Lines of the Native Indigenous Peoples of the world in the Blood Lines of the Hawaiian people!
For far too long United States and its governmental entities have used the Blood Quantum of the Hawaiian Homes Act to control and divide the Hawaiian people by Blood Quantum.
Today we have come a long way from 1921 and the Blood Quantum of the Hawaiian Homes Act.
No longer should Hawaiians allow this Division of our people by the United States and the FAKE State of Hawaii to continue.
