I’m very disturbed by the fact that a former Hawaii Tribune Herald reporter has stated publicly that the only reason I was chosen to be on the H-130 Advisory task force because I’m “HAWAIIAN”.
This false accusation hurts from someone I respect here in the Puna district.
I realize that she may think that I’m “Hawaiian” because of my skin color… but to be put under the bus for something that had nothing do with race is fucking bullshit!
“…But you were chosen for that panel because you are Hawaiian, you are a family man, and you live in Puna and drive Hwy 130 every day. Those are 4 IMPORTANT demographics satisfied in one person that you rightly point out they think they can satisfy with a plate lunch and pen…”
Racism sucks… and as we see… it’s still prevalent. Haole folks are still blaming Hawaiians…and Hawaiians are still blaming Haoles… While I get stuck in the middle of both sides.
Get over it people and start voting. If you “haole” folks are pissed off that Hawaiian’s have been dominating the votes in the last few years… quit complaining and get more “haole” folks voting.
But don’t sit here and continue to blame the state for favoring “Hawaiians” on things as Ms. Stapelton has accused me of only getting on the H-130 panel because I’m “Hawaiian”.
Effing pissed off… will clean up typos and grammar in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!
Discrediting me for something that isn’t even true is weak Frankie…. think of another reason besides RACE!
Hugs Frankie… yes… your post pissed me off… I know you’re a good person… just think twice before accusing people of getting in positions that they are because of RACE!
I’m just as Haole as most others that have moved here!
