Hawaii Innocence Project PROVES Hawaiians Are Guilty

Open commentary to those who further racial disharmony, social division and public fraud in Hawai’i, professionals such as:
• Kenneth Lawson and Rick Fried, Co-Directors, and Jennifer Brown, Associate Director, Staff Attorney, of the Hawai’i Innocence Project;
• Megan Kau of Megan K. Kau Law;
• Jonathan Y. Okamura, professor emeritus from the University of Hawai’i Manoa; and frequent contributor to CivilBeat;
• Dan Boylan, former University of Hawai’i West Oahu professor;
• Dean Crowell, Professor of Hawaiian Creole at University of Niuhelewai at Kalihi;
• David Keanu Sai, PhD, Convicted Felon and founder of Hawaiian Society of Law & Politics.

Media reported that Kenneth Lawson, co-director, plans to use the limited resources of The Hawai’i Innocence Project to contest the retrial of Kaulana Alo-Kaonohi (Alo-Kanonohi) and Levi Aki Jr. (Aki) to prove that “haole” is not a derogatory term. [source]

UPDATE 8.15.25: Nālani or Nani Moreman Claims “haole” Acceptable In Context
No different from KKK-types in deep south defending the use of “nigger” in context. She says they are the “goodones.” Tribal and racist behavior. Ignorant people further hatred in our society. “haole” means “White nigger.” Many Native Hawaiians are Kanaka-Supremacists. They believe they are superior to White Americans in the islands. They may claim the USA invaded and stole these islands. That’s their Convenient Lie. Learn the Inconvenient Truth. See: Becoming Tribal.

Eddie Marshall, “Jive turkeys, the lottoven.” Vwyoyo Dub, “It’s all in the tone 🤣🤙🏼” and Brahma Sai, “Local haole punks ❤️”

Today in Hawai’i, Statehood Day is celebrated. August 21, 1959, 94% of residents voted YES to becoming the 50th state in the United States of America. Some Kanaka claim USA or Americans “stole” this land. FALSE. Anyone who OWNED land in Hawai’i PRIOR to the overthrow by LOCAL residents in 1893 KEPT their land. For more on this topic, SEE: Becoming Tribal.

Also on his day, August 15, 1945, Imperial Japan SURRENDERED to the United States of America allies to end the war in the Pacific: VJ Day. The Japanese killed over a 1,000,000 Filipinos, committed genocide across the Pacific, forced Korean women into sex slaves for Japanese men or they would be shot; forced Korean men to serve the Japanese army or they would be shot. Had the USA not been in the war, Japan would have occupied the Hawaiian islands. They would have turned Kanaka women into sex slaves; turned Kanaka males into slaves for the emperor.

Over 112,000 American MEN sacrificed for ALL our freedom. End the bullshit! See: Becoming Tribal.

UPDATE 7.20.25: WOKE Hawai’i Simply Cannot Wake Up
Pump your brakes, Hawaiian. It’s all about respect, sista! Lee Cataluna, Maui girl, 30+ years experience as local journalist, further PROVES my claim. Survival sex in Lahaina? Says who? Locals said so. Very stupid locals. In current social media language, they are retarded locals.

“The fact that in the richest country in the world women had to resort to any means necessary to meet basic human needs and survive a fire, is absolutely a critique of the entire American system – and the problem with having that system forced onto Hawai’i.”

Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D., Ph.D candidate [source]

Lee asked, “But truly, what the hell are these people who aren’t from Lahaina talking about? How dare they use Lahaina’s situation to further their political agendas and national profiles?”

FEMA didn’t make the claim that 16% of Lahaina victims engaged in survival sex. Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D., Ph.D. candidate at the University of Hawai’i Manoa made the claim. Both should be disbarred for slandering FEMA employees and the American system.

They handed the Trump administration a gift. Of course, as Lee write, “Kristi Noem, the Insta-Glam puppy-shooting Republican” would misuse the claim. That’s what MAGA does.

If I were the dean of the college over Ortega’s Ph.D. program, I would boot her from the university. Both misrepresented the findings of their “convenient sample” of Lahaina residents. Failed research statistics. Both caused great pain to Hawai’i, our nation and the victims of Lahaina.

I emailed Lee this morning: “lcataluna@civilbeat.org,” copied her CivilBeat editor Patti Epler, Governor Josh Green, and his Chief of Staff, Jeremy Lakin. I called Lee a “FOOL.”

Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D., Ph.D. candidate published the SLANDEROUS claims against FEMA. The Trump administration is seeking justification to end FEMA funding. Won’t harm big states. Will crush smaller states like Hawai’i that cannot afford to respond to Lahaina-type disasters. 

Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D., Ph.D. candidate lit the flames. They blamed the “haoles.” Locals have blamed “haoles” for too long.

Lee condemned the flawed use of statistics by Jabola-Carolus and Ortega. Should have apologized to FEMA management, employees and Americans. The report stated:

“Sexual conduct in exchange for basic necessities post-disaster was reported by 16% of female Filipino fire survivors. These women engaged in a sexual relationship or sex in order to have a place to stay, food, or money after the Lahaina fire, i.e., for something of value. The sexual conduct included kissing, hugging, touching, and intercourse with a landlord, an employer, family members, friends and acquaintances.”

Tagnawa.org [source]

Lee corrected, “if you read into the details, ‘sexual conduct’ could be anything from the worst possible abusive situation to the very benign, ‘Mahalo Uncle for letting us move into your guest house’ followed by a hug.”

I concluded, “The tsunami is coming. As a child, my mom made me a cape. Rode around on my stingray as Superman: Truth, Justice and the America way. And the time is always right to do what is right. Repent!” Locals need to say they are sorry now!

Quiet the Critics: Live Aloha

Can hear critics already. “Bruddah, who you think you are? Goin’ to get cracks talking like this. In fact, you sound just like one ‘haole’ acting like you know us.” I do know Native Hawaiians. Remember 2019, you’z standing up for the Mauna against TMT, ya? Disagreed with you then. Bad juju!

King Kalākaua wanted observatories on Mauna Kea. He knew Kanaka led the world in star navigation, and commissioned British scientists to begin development. Had 5″ telescope on O’ahu College (Punahou School today).

TMT would have benefited our keiki; added billions to our economy; brought researchers from around the world. People of Chile now say, “Mahalo! We love TMT!” That’s what racism and discrimination does. Fear is da mind killah! You lost!

On July 20, 2019, exactly 50 YEARS after USA landed on the moon, I forwarded a proposal to state senator Mike Gabbard and other officials, was assisting Tulsi’s run for president. Make one deal: Allow TMT, but RETURN Big Island to Native Hawaiians. End the tension and perceived injustice. Nobody else cared about you. Kanaka even fight among yourselves. I cared about you!
SEE: PROPOSED SOLUTION TO TMT CONTROVERSY

So live aloha. End the discrimination. “Haole” is a derogatory slur. To White Americans, it means “White nigger.” To summarize, label someone “haole,” kill them socially or politically, frustrate employment, and force them from the islands. Japanese and Native Hawaiians further this discriminatory behavior, as both are preferred racial and power elites.

The label targets White Americans, and blames them falsely as Jews were falsely labeled for killing the christ: White Americans overthrew the kingdom. USA illegally invaded. Hawai’i is under illegal occupation. UNTRUE. Such exaggerations weaken Hawaiians.

Christopher Kunzelman (“Christ”) was a victim of this racism. He and wife Lori purchased a “dilapidated, oceanfront house there sight-unseen for $175,000 because they wanted to leave Arizona after Lori’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis.” Jury found Alo-Kaonohi and Aki punched, kicked and used a shovel to beat him in 2014 for trying to move into their remote Maui village.

Lori said the beating of her husband “destroyed my marriage” and his brain injuries led to divorce. Still own the property, but don’t know what to do with it. “Families there won’t allow anybody to step foot on that property. There’s so much animosity.” “Christ” now lives in Puerto Rico.

We remember this precedent as the “Law of the Splintered Shovel.”

Fighting for the Innocent

I publish this article and give notice that I volunteer to be an expert witness if such trial is held. Have legal standing. I’m White. Wasn’t born here; flown here. My PhD work at the University of New Mexico was political science. Focused on strengthening democracy and promoting equality.

My years of criminal justice research, “Who’s in New Mexico Prisons,” exposed the lack of justice and innocence of 1,000s of people, particularly poor Black and Brown young men, for minor, non-violent cannabis [marijuana] infractions.

Republican Governor Gary Johnson relied on my research in 2000 during his campaign to legalize recreational and medical cannabis. Democrats called us stoners and potheads. My work assisted the legalization of medical cannabis in 2007, and helped create the framework for recreational cannabis legalization.

New Mexico Democrats ended that injustice in 2021. Hawai’i still is unable to right this wrong. Proposed anti-discrimination medical cannabis policy in the 2024 legislative session. Ignored.

Justice Denied in Hawai’i

Hawaiian Electric Company fired me wrongfully for my use of medical cannabis. I reached out to many, pleaded for help from Megan Kau. Claimed I was innocent at HECO and Arizona precedent agrees. Megan refused to assist me, “Let me review and get back to you.” Megan never got back to me.

Ethnic background is extremely important in Hawai’i … U.S. Constitutional 14th “equal protection” amendment falls to tribal culture and behavior, as “fit” is frequently more valued over merit.

Jonathan Okamura claims the Japanese vote is highly sought by non-Japanese candidates in the Aloha State. Josh Green’s adorable, talented wife, Jaime Kanani Ushiroda, appears to have both Native Hawaiian and Japanese ancestry, as she is the daughter of the late Yvonne Makaimoku Ushiroda.

“Despite being the fourth largest ethnic group (22%) in the state, Japanese voters have an outsized importance, which results in candidates targeting them in different ways, including by their ballot names and by highlighting their close ties to individual Japanese.”

Jonathan Y. Okamura, Here’s How Some Hawaii Candidates Covet The Japanese Vote, 7.28.24

Being a White American Male equals “three strikes” in Hawai’i. Was pegged a loud-mouthed “haole.” Begged HEI and HECO corporate management, legal professionals in the state, my U.S. Congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard, Governor Ige, Lt Governor Green … every person possible … simply to return me to work. As governor, Josh Green called me selfish.

You are not thinking straight. Your personal conflict has nothing to do with the rest of the state and you should get help. We are working on a $5B disaster and you think this about you and your marijuana conflict. Get real.

Hawai’i Governor Josh Green, March 5, 2024

Our family needed income. I was badly injured, suffer disability and needed healthcare insurance. Importantly, HECO needed my IT services. We were in the middle of a 10-year security update. The network between O’ahu, Maui and Big Island was at risk. Our small team was assigned to plug the holes. Removing me put the state of Hawai’i and residents in harms way.

YOU have been a great asset to our team and it is your personality and humble nature that makes all of us so comfortable working together. We have had contractors on the DBA team before, but never with the synergy and positive energy that you bring with you. I believe you have had the greatest influence in our success and glad that we selected the right contractor. You have definitely made your mark here at HECO and have set the bar very high for future contractors!

Thank you for being you…keep doing what you do…keep that good karma flowing!

Lori Yafuso, HECO IT manager

I began to write publicly and criticize. The cruelty of HECO management had pushed me to the brink of suicide. Their incompetence frightened me. If management would destroy my career simply to protect their reputations, who is safe? On August 8, 2023, we learned: not the residents of Lahaina.

HECO was not prepared. Incompetence of HECO executive management incinerated at least 102+ human beings, including keiki, and left 10,000+ destitute. Local legal experts, Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D., Ph.D. candidate, criticized FEMA last week. Again, local professionals blamed the “haoles.” FEMA didn’t fail and destroy Lahaina. Locals did.

Sought justice defending myself pro se. I’m an IT professional; not much competency as an attorney. Documented however that HECO’s high-powered attorney, Randall C. Whattoff, spoke falsely at our first hearing. He had served my Rush Moore LLC attorneys, Jason M. Tani and Bryan M. Harada, with a Rule 11.

The rule is not intended to chill an attorney’s enthusiasm or creativity in pursuing factual or legal theories, and should not be used as a tool to harass or intimidate opposing counsel (see Rush Moore LLP Complaint).

They fired me the next day. Believed I could defeat Randall C. Whattoff’s “attack the victim” strategy. Demanded Randall C. Whattoff file the motion. He refused and refused and refused and refused. He sounded like the president regarding the Epstein files.

Unable to answer to the charges, I was unable to secure legal counsel. Hawaiian Electric’s high-powered attorney gamed the system to ensure I would not have professional representation in the Hawai’i Circuit Court.

I informed Judge Dean E. Ochiai that Rule 11 is not to be used to “prevent me from having counsel.” Without counsel, I was not competent to navigate the Hawai’i judiciary and effectively prosecute my complaint.

Both Judge Dean E. Ochiai and Randall C. Whattoff ensured I fight Hawaiian Electric with both hands tied behind my back. David was allowed a sling and five smooth stones against Goliath.

Randall C. Whattoff however lied to the court to cover his legal cowardice and unethical behavior (screenshot below). Proved to Judge Ochiai that SCOTUS clarified Defendants need not wait. [110 S.Ct. 245 — 2454-57]

Reported to Judge Dean E. Ochiai that Randall C. Whattoff, on behalf of Defendants, spoke falsely, as well as misled the court, “At one point we even offered to waive service for plaintiff and he declined that.” [download Plaintiff Ex Parte Motion]

Mr. Goold therefore believes Mr. Whattoff and Defendants knew or should have known they were not compelled by law to wait and wait and wait for Plaintiff to serve the complaint.

Plaintiff contends Mr. Whattoff and Defendants intentionally withheld filing their Rule 11(c) motion — weaponizing the procedure — to obstruct Mr. Goold’s ability to secure competent legal representation, while defaming his character.

Plaintiff contends Mr. Whattoff and only Defendant Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. offered to waive service for Plaintiff hoping to coerce Mr. Goold to proceed pro se.

Plaintiff Ex Parte Motion, Dkt 69, 1CCV-21-0000216, 3.14.22 (p5)

I also documented that the Rule 11 motion, served by Randall C. Whattoff on my attorneys, which chased them away, was unlawfully prepared. Hired a second attorney, Eric T. Krening. Reached Eric through a friend. As attorneys were refusing to assist me, never spoke with Eric. Conducted all communication via email.

I’m a PhD researcher. Wanted to control this social “experiment.” Paid Eric for two assessments without explaining why. First gave Eric my complaint. After review, he agreed to accept my case and sent me a contract.

To be ethical, presented the Rule 11 without signing his contract. Eric was furious with me for not fully disclosing. Explained honestly I needed a before and after analysis. He withdrew. Refused to speak with me.

I was standing naked pro se in Judge Dean E. Ochiai’s courtroom. Showed that Randall C. Whattoff had spoken falsely and his Rule 11 had chased away legal representation — a violation of Rule 11.

Judge said this issue “matters not to the Court.” Their smiles in the photos above belie their behavior, “E komo mai, Hawai’i … we’re going to fuck you up.”

Hawaiian Electric confused and misled an exemplary employee with their incompetence over corporate policy. Appears the Asian women entrapped me. Company spent over a million HECO ratepayer dollars training our team. Down the drain. Chaos and cruelty characterized senior management.

Petitioning the Intermediate Court of Appeals, Honorable Presiding Judge Hiraoka and Associate Judges, who were facing times of challenge and controversy, Scott Goold offered an opportunity to right this wrong and injustice. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr said, “The time is always right to do what is right.”
[download Plaintiff-Appellant Motion for Reconsideration]

Denied. Insecure people slur others — outsiders — using disparaging labels and unethical behavior. Scott Goold was the “whole package.” Khara Jabola-Carolus, J.D. and Nadezna Ortega, J.D. did the same to FEMA. The federal government might now withhold funds and assistance. [download “Equality in Flames” summary]

Hi Scott, I personally never saw any evidence of you being impaired. Quite the contrary in fact. I would say sharp, expedient, professional, technical, humble, the whole package really. But I did notice you had a limp, so I suspected you were in pain, but you never mentioned anything, and I never bothered to ask, our conversations were always about getting things done, and you delivered in times when we had to deliver and get things done. 

Marijuana is a complex issue, often misunderstood, has been known to relieve pain, and when used correctly does not impair. 

Sincerely,

[name withheld to protect HECO employee, May 5, 2019]

I documented that presiding judge Dean E. Ochiai was not honorable. Per Hawai’i legal precedent, the Circuit Court of the First Circuit was required to notify me that my complaint was delinquent and needed to be served on Defendants. Judge Ochiai failed to notify me. He violated the law.

A disabled, injured and honorable American employee was denied justice in Hawai’i. With a skilled attorney such as Megan Kau in my corner, likely would have prevailed. I’m perceived as a “HAOLE” who believes he knows everything.

Scott Goold speak for yourself not for us Kanaka! You are a typical HAOLE who believes you know everything.

Dean Crowell, 6.25.25

Micronesians, Filipino and Korean immigrants, who began arriving in significant numbers after passage of the 1965 Immigration Act, used to be the primary targets of xenophobic racism. In addition, Hawaii has a long history of racism and violence against newcomer haoles from the “mainland.”

Jonathan Y. Okamura, 2022

“I would like to think that we never vote that way (based on ethnicity) in a multiethnic society, but we always do,” University of Hawai’i West Oahu professor Dan Boylan said. “Japanese support Japanese, haoles support haoles, Chinese support Chinese.” … “There is a large haole constituency in the state; it’s 30% or so of the electorate. If you look at the five or six people in the race now, there’s not a haole in the race.”

Jonathan Y. Okamura quoting Dan Boylan, 2024

Promised Made; Promises Broken

“This is the promise of Hawaii, a promise for the entire nation and, indeed the world, that peoples of different races and creeds can live together, enriching each other in harmony and democracy.” Jonathan Y. Okamura

The PROMISE of Hawai’i has been broken; just as the PROMISE of the United States of America is broken today. Warned the local WOKE coalition. Slandering White people, defaming America, is turning White people, particularly White men, against people of color and women.

I’ve criticized local officials for years for allowing a Japanese Buddhist Group to trample on the memories of our national heroes. Our activist group offered a harmonious and peaceful compromise: Shinnyo-en host on Sunday, leave Memorial Monday for our honored and heroic American Veterans. Aloha Memorial Weekend for civilians and military. FUCK YOU!!! was the response.

We warned after Lantern Floating 2024 that participants and officials would suffer. Karma would correct this injustice. Diminish America’s heroes, Americans elected an America First president.

Warned Governor Green, HEI CEO Scott Seu and HECO CEO Shelee Kimura that cheating America’s insurers out of their subrogation rights to recover some $3 billion in losses in Lahaina would lead to repercussions. WOKE created MAGA. And MAGA now strips the University of Hawai’i, state of Hawai’i, state DoE and dozens of WOKE non-profits of billions of federal dollars.

MAGA crushes the injustice of WOKE. Should have been honorable.

History of Haole

“Haole” does not mean White person; does not mean a person from mainland. As I have shared repeatedly and posted in my article, “Never Forget Native Hawaiians Want to Kill You,” The Kumulipo: A Hawaiian Creation Chant defines “haole” as stranger. Educate. Stop the HATE!

Every individual from a subpopulation group listed above could be considered a “stranger.” In fact, a Native Hawaiian (Kanaka) from Big Island visiting Kaua’i could be considered a “stranger.” Some people in all subpopulation groups can be considered “fair-haired.”

Most importantly, The Kumulipo: A Hawaiian Creation Chant says blonds are the one with white skin. Referring only to Americans from mainland is not accurate. It’s a slur, and intends to demean the White American — whether the individual is a new arriving malihini or long time kamaʻāina.

Meaning is clear, “this is our land; you do not belong here.” Usage can only be derogatory. Both Kanaka and Japanese further the slur. Japanese wanted these islands; still do. Okamura describes how political candidates “covet the Japanese vote.”

Japanese have much power in Hawai’i today, and there is much resentment toward the American presence. Fourth of July celebrations are muted in the islands.

I’ve been in the Hawaiian islands for nearly 20 years. I’m a White American and can’t count the times I’ve been called “haole” or “fucking haole” or told “get the fuck outta here, haole” or “go back to where you came from, fucking haole.” I’ve been documenting how Kanaka threaten, even suggest violence, toward White people from mainland.

“These Native Hawaiians who live in a secluded, very traditional community who use the term ‘haole’ to describe people that are not from Hawaiʻi — that’s the term that they use,” she said. “We all very often use the term ‘haole.’ It’s not derogatory unless you use it in a derogatory sense.”

Megan Kau, Native Hawaiian attorney [source]

We all? Often? Maybe her tribe does. I never do. Megan Kau claims “haole” isn’t always a slur and depends on context. Imagine a Native White attorney defending White people who the use “nigger” that way, “It’s not a derogatory unless you use it in a derogatory sense.” Do you see why MAGA claims WOKE is reverse racist?

In the violent incident at the heart of this matter, Aki says to Christopher Kunzelman, “You’s a haole, eh,” using the Hawaiian slur for a White person. Kunzelman testified that while Alo-Kaonohi and Aki beat him, they told him no White people would ever live in Kahakuloa village. There is no reasonable explanation for use of “haole,” except in a racially derogatory manner.

For example, Kunzelman was from Arizona. Imagine he had Arizona plates on his vehicle. Aki might have said, “You’s from Arizona, eh? My cousin lives Phoenix.” Not derogatory; not racist. Aki pleaded no contest to terroristic threatening; Alo-Kaonohi previously pleaded no contest to felony assault. There was nothing friendly or neighborly in the context of Aki’s “haole” reference.

After the assault, Aki referred about Kunzelman to police as a “rich haole guy,” a “dumb haole,” and a “typical haole thinking he owning everything … trying to change things up in Kahakuloa.” There’s the context: racial and disparaging slur.

Alo-Kaonohi’s father, Chico Kaonohi, said bias was not a motivation behind the attack and “’haole’ is not a racial word.” The label is directed to White people. No different from a White person in the deep south claiming “nigger” is not a racist slur toward Black folks.

Alo-Kaonohi and Aki clearly appeared to be motivated by Kunzelman’s race when they punched, kicked and used a shovel to beat him nearly to death in Kahakuloa village. We now remember this case precedent as the “Law of the Splintered Shovel.”

The “Law of the Splintered Paddle,” or Kānāwai Māmalahoe, is a Hawaiian law proclaimed by King Kamehameha I, stating that the elderly, women and children should be free to travel and rest without fear of harm. Law of the Splintered Shovel states that White Americans “should be free to live in Hawai’i and enjoy paradise without fear of harm.”

Any use of “haole” serves to separate human beings: Us vs Them. At the basic level, such behavior violates the principle of aloha in the islands. Aloha intends to “bring peoples of different races and creeds can live together, enriching each other in harmony and democracy.”

Commitment to Ending Hate

I was born long ago in the deep south. Racism was the rule, rather than exception. Black human beings were called “niggers.” White people said the same thing, “I’m not slurring anyone, I love my little nigger boy.” And, yes, I’ve heard Kanaka say in a friendly tone, “I have a ‘haole’ girlfriend.” Means a White American.

My father was on scholarship at the University of Southern Mississippi. Was a combat Veteran; served honorably in Korean War on an aircraft carrier. USA dropped more bombs on North Korea than bombs had ever been dropped.

My father assembled bombs. To relieve stress, they played basketball in a makeshift court under the top deck. He’s 6’7, a decent HS player and has skillz. His commander encouraged the play and their team competed against teams from other ships to boost morale (think M*A*S*H). He served and played alongside Black Americans. He’s from Illinois. Had known and played against Black athletes in high school. 

Our grandfather, Robert A Lower, also from Illinois, Land of Lincoln, was awarded the Medal of Honor as an American Union soldier. Volunteered to serve at 17; stepped up for a Forlorn Hope assignment at 18. It was a suicide mission.

All men had to be single; none expected to live. For weeks, these brave men led the charge during the Siege of Vicksburg. Of the 150 heroic men, he was one on only 19 to survive: 87% perished. This battle was a key turning point in the war to FREE Black human beings from slavery … White Men battling White Men. All 150 American heroes received the Medal of Honor. 

Black athletes could not be on scholarship or on the team when my father played. Due to transfer rules, he was locked in place. Horrible experience for my parents. They committed to changing America.

My family does not tolerate racism. My parents became teachers in 1960s and marched along with Martin Luther King, Jr and others. My parents educated me early about the label, “nigger.” I was not to say it and not to tolerate it being said. See something; say something, as the late, great U.S. Congressman John Lewis urged.

I grew up with many Black Americans. We played sports together. After sandlot baseball as kids, we would walk over for a slushy at a local convenience store. Toughies, neighborhood bullies would call me “White nigger” for walking with my teammates and friends; call them “niggers.” We would link arms and walk together. 

In college, walking down the street with my Black teammates, we would occasionally share deep trauma as a group of young women might cross the street to avoid us. My teammates felt pain. I felt shame. I knew 100% that each of us, White and Black, would die to protect these coeds.

In our current time, such coeds would be liberal, maybe call themselves WOKE, and dedicate their time to protecting Black people from White toxic racist colonizing men of the patriarchy. If a White male like me criticizes their reverse racism and defamation, I would immediately be shunned, shamed, unfriended, blocked and cancelled on social media and in social circles. 

WOKE vs MAGA

WOKE, DEI, CRT and PC sought to rule America. Maybe. These self-righteous people however also created MAGA. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton’s Third Law of Motion). I watched and warned.

As a life-long Democrat, first working with Jimmy Carter’s campaign in 1976, assisted every presidential campaign and mid-term campaign for Democrats … including Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary against Barack Obama. We felt Barack was destined to be president, but too young. Hillary first, then Barack: 16 Years of glorious progressive leadership in America. 

Barack won. I then joined and served Barack in the general elections of 2008 and 2012. However, Hillary’s team never forgot their loss. They were angry. When I contacted Hillary’s team in 2016, they told me I was not needed. Women were going to run and lead this campaign. Pushed me away. Along with millions of other White men, I became a BernieBro. He loved everyone. We were Feeling the Bern. 

Hillary and DNC cheated Bernie in the primary. Hawaii’s U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard exposed the cheating. Donna Brazile, CNN, was fired. DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was forced to resign in disgrace.

Hillary refused to appease Bernie or his bros. We warned, “Cheat us and we’ll vote for your opponent.” They laughed. We did. Donald J Trump won the 2016 election because WOKE women disrespected White men. MAGA was born. 

And MAGA crushed WOKE in Election 2024. About 60% of White men voted DJT. More Black and Hispanic men supported DJT. I wrote this week how WOKE women are fueling the MAGA movement.

We can pretend there are times when use of derogatory labels or reverse racism is acceptable. However, any use of such slurs furthers hate. These attitudes also weaken the Kanaka. They blame others rather than rising to their personal and collective greatness.

The non-White culture claims to be WOKE, and seeks to end unfair, racist and discriminatory practices of the past. Use of slurs is disrespectful and continues the cycle of hatred that they claim to oppose.

Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961

As a White American Male, yes, a demonized White male in this WOKE narrative, I’ve pursued this mission to end hate my entire life. I battle against WOKE and MAGA at this time. Both groups are extreme and screaming at each other. Time to listen, put down our swords or all of us shall perish from this earth.
