House Passes Native Hawaiian Bill

Jim Abrams, AP, October 24, 2007

Native Hawaiians should regain some of the self-governance powers lost when the islands’ queen was overthrown more than a century ago, the House decided Wednesday.

The White House threatened a veto, saying the legislation that passed by a 261-153 vote would divide Americans “along suspect lines of race and ethnicity.”

The bill would give the 400,000 people nationwide of Native Hawaiian ancestry the right to form a governing entity that could negotiate with the state and federal governments over such issues as control of natural resources, lands and assets. The interior secretary would have to approve that governing body.

To win over critics, the legislation spells out that the Native Hawaiian government could not take private land or set up gambling operations similar to those allowed to Indians.

The bill would not affect military facilities in the state and Native Hawaiians would not gain new eligibility for programs and services available to Indians.

{snip}

The House GOP leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, said “granting broad government powers to an exclusive group based on race is simply unconstitutional.”

Republican opponents of the legislation also said it could open the door for Native Hawaiians to declare territorial independence from the United States.

What I don’t understand is why we ever had to make HI a state; we should have just left it as a Pacific Ocean territory like Guam. HI as a state is politically like DC — 4 guaranteed electoral votes for Democrats (DC has 3), and 2 guaranteed U.S. Senators (DC has none, thankfully)

“Republican opponents of the legislation also said it could open the door for Native Hawaiians to declare territorial independence from the United States.”

Let’s face it. The unravelling of America along racial lines is already starting. With all that investment from Asia, Hawaii really doesn’t need the US and would get along just fine without it.

This sort of Diversity adds great strength to our Nation. All ethnic, language and religious groups should negotiate to have their own geographic areas, mini societies, governments, languages, culture, etc. Just think how much better we will all get along versus if we were just a single boring, homogeneous people.

We can greatly speed this process of balkanization, if we can just maintain the current massive importation of numerous diverse ethnic and religious groups into our country.

Who knew that America (the most successful nation the world has ever seen) would exist as a viable, unified nation for only 200 years. Good-bye my beautiful America — your light shone brightly for but a flicker of time.

This is very very good news. We must facilitate division at every turn. Division facilitates conflict between the races. Conflict will make millions of whites snap out of their materialistic trance.

I say, God bless ‘em. But whites should also be able to free ourselves from a group that robs, rapes and murders us daily and then calls US racists.

The article cited some control of natural resources. What “natural resources” does Hawaii possess, aside from exceptionally fertile soil and a quasi-Yugoslavian collection of varied ethnic groups who loathe each other?

I think we should cut Hawaii loose. Back in the day, we needed it for a Pacific naval outpost. With today’s satellite technology, we know what’s in the ocean without actually having to be there. Hawaii is more Asian than anything else and only serves as an expensive vacation spot for the well-to-do. With this precedent, we could look forward to other states seceding and forming a traditional Euro-American state, minus the liberals and third-worlders. Secession is the only way I can see we can save Euro-American western culture before the elites and left wingers completely sell us out.

How right!

It would help though, if Hawaii would review its overall pricing policies as everything is so expensive there. I’m sure natives and tourists would spend more if it did.

It will open the door for us Whites to declare territorial independence too. The decision will also benefit our Boer bothers in South Africa and our Right Wing brothers in Europe.

Several have mentioned the idea that Hawaii should secede and that the US should welcome this. I quite agree. If you look at the list of senators from Hawaii, you will see that with one exception they are Japanese-surnamed. Do you really think these guys can completely ignore their tribal links to Japan?

Of course, we would say that we are giving it back to the native Hawaiians…really it would be to the Asians. Like most third-worlders, the Hawaiians would bonk severely in commercial and political competition w the Japanese.

While we are looking at cutting loose some costly dependencies, why not offer the same deal to Puerto Rico, the US Verigin Islands, etc. What a deal!

I hope you are right,but then again as Whites are blatantly killed,raped and mugged by blacks and Hispanics in large numbers they deny the race aspect.

Here’s an statement we will never see in the press:

The bill would give the 200,000,000 people nationwide of European ancestry the right to form a governing entity that could negotiate with the state and federal governments over such issues as control of natural resources, lands and assets.

That’s too bad, because our state and federal governments do not represent us in any way and we need a governing entity that can oppose them.

Maybe the brainwashed masses of Europe will now begin to realize the value of what they are now freely giving away. I have no problem with this, Hawaiians should own Hawaii, this is not some sort of PC globalist dream-world we live in, blood and soil mentality exists because it is human nature.

Republican opponents of the legislation also said it could open the door for Native Hawaiians to declare territorial independence from the United States.

Uh, seems like I recall that a few people tried to do this in the mid-1800s in the Southern US.

AND:

In the 1980s or 1990s there was an in-depth examination by a group of lawyers or law professors that arrived at the conclusion that they had every legal right to have done so.

Any AmReners out there know anything about this event and where to get a copy of their report?

I think the only reason Hawaii was made a state was because of the attack on Pearl Harbor.It was done to honor the men who died and still rest there.No island should ever be made a state,esp.Puerto Rico.

Disgusting. The left won’t stop until it has broken up the country into little warring groups, fighting along racial, ethnic lines. Wait! it already has!

It is their inherited right by being born an minority that they will be given special rights and privileges, Democratic politicans have this unusual insight into interpreting the constitution.

When whites dare to defend themselves, it is referred to as racist. Marxist professors jump up and scream that there are no races, that it is merely a social construct. Yet programs such as this which encourage special treatment and head-counting for non-whites never meet with such criticism. Why aren’t the Marxists screaming that there is no such thing as a native Hawaiian?

I guess it depends on WHICH “EXCLUSIVE GROUP BASED ON RACE” you’re referring to…I guess it’s NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL when it comes to the “EXCLUSIVE GROUP OF BLACKS” and the “EXCLUSIVE GROUP OF HISPANICS”!?

Republican opponents of the legislation also said it could open the door for Native Hawaiians to declare territorial independence from the United States…

Maybe those Hawaiians have HAD ENOUGH of what is being done TO THIS COUNTRY?…maybe us WHITES should gather in ONE LARGE STATE and DEMAND “self-governance powers” too…and then declare territorial independence from what USED TO BE the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!

Posted by Suzan at 10:25 AM on October 26


So when will whites be able to exclude non-whites from our countries, government and institutions without being called racists? When whites be allowed to be racially exclusive without being called “sick” or “backwards” or “hateful”?

I have no problem with liberal democrats giving up their own money and resources to others- if they are this delusional, then perhaps they need a lesson in living in poverty to snap out of it.

But they have no right to give everyone else’s money and resources away. The government is supposed to function solely FOR the people, not FOR the interests of the flavor of the month (or the flavor for the last half century as the case may be).

We need to hang onto Hawaii. I can see some sort of reservation status, in lieu of Statehood, racial priviledges for aboriginal Hawaiians even. The first thing they’d do is kick out the Chinese and Japanese, which doesn’t really bother me. I don’t care if they want to cut down the pineapple plantations and fill the resorts with Primo warriors either. As long as the Navy and Air Force have their bases, I’m happy. What we don’t want for Hawaii is independence. They’ll be looking for a new teat in no time, and we’ll have the Chinese or Japanese navies making themselves at home in Pearl Harbor.

I don’t know about reports but two books that cover this are “The Real Lincoln”, which is a real eye opener, and “The South Was Right” by the Kennedy brothers (not THOSE Kennedy brothers!).

Let them declare independence. Good riddance. I never feel like I’m in the US when I visit Hawaii anyway. We should simply keep a military presence ad infinitum somewhere in the island chain and let the rest go. If they secede, it will set off a chain reaction. I’m all for it.

Hawaii should become an independent nation, so should Puerto Rico.

Agreed! Add Guam and Virgin Islands too. We need territory that can be guarded.

The fight in Marxist ideology takes place between the classes, i.e. “class struggle”.

Contraryly to the ideology of f.e. Bronstein/Trotsky, which promotes internationalism/globalism/left-wing-imperialism, the user at 7:33 PM talks about to the struggle for resegration between race-based ethnicities.

Having lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for seven long years, I attest to the fact that Hawaii (or PC style, “Hawai’i nei”) is a foreign country, a third world one in many repects. It is at its core hostile to Whites and I do hope it is accorded complete independence. China, not Japan, will seize it politically by stealth in a number of years but the “fat, dumb and happy” natives, Locals that is, won’t care as long as they can maintain their hedonistic lifestyle. I approve of Balkanization as our version of the Roman Empire has run its course. My Homeland is “Alba” in the Northwest USA.

If Native Hawiians get to be seperate, what could the US government say when or if Boers form the Boer state in South Africa do like wise?


btw, does anyone know why Boers didn’t push for a Praetoria are state when they repealed Apartheid ? They had control of alot of the South African Army, political clout and more than enough small Arms. So, what happened ?

Here are two books that discuss the constitutional aspects of the civil war and conclude that the constitution provided for peaceful secession.


1. The South Was Right! by James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy (Hardcover - Mar 1994)

5. Was Jefferson Davis Right? by James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy (Paperback - May 1998)

President Buchanan had the Justice department, Judges and legal scholars look into the question throughly during his term just prior to Lincoln’s election and the outbreak of the civil war. All these experts concluded at the time that the south did indeed have the right to secede, and that the President did not have the authority to force states to stay in the Union.

Lincoln was elected on the platform that the south did not have the right to secede.

Of course one has to consider various influences on the southern secessionists, namely the European banks and their agent, Judah Banjamin who arranged the financing of the south by the European banks and ran right back to England as soon as the south surrendered.

These European bankers made their fortune in the 1770’s by embezzling the funds borowed from the Landgrave of Hesse by the government of France to lend to the American revolutionaries during the war of independence from England.

From 1820 on these European bankers did their best to foment secession and regional differences in the hopes of making another fortune from an American war. They finally got their wish with the Civil War. But it was a disaster for the European bankers, because all their holdings in Confederate bonds became worthless.

Personally, I think the treason was not so much seccession as succumbing to propaganda and bribery by the European banks and their agent, Confederate treasury secretary Judah Benjamin.

Marie is in agreement with a buddy of mine, apparently. He told me that Hawaiians, especially the men, hate white guys and Americans in general. Whether true or not I don’t know, but he said that the women even prefer black men over others. Hey, no accounting for taste. However, I have to say that I think that if Hawaiians want to be cut free, let them go. The Japanese own large parts of the Island, anyway, and they are for harder task masters than whites ever were. Nothing like learning through experience.
