I was going to be all negative about a free Hawaii. Then I read how it got made a state by some corporate fatcats overthrowing the queen by force, establishing a kangaroo government over the objection of the American President, and petitioning for years to be admitted as a state. No native Hawaiian ever agreed to this. They were discriminated against from the outset, systematically.
Don't know how it could be untangled now. Like Scotland, not sure modern natives would care about century-old political screwing around.
- gremlinsinc 3y agoI don't think it should be totally annexed because that changes electoral college issues, but the whole state should be transitioned to a reservation like an Indian reservation. Retain statehood, but also their sovereignty.
