We are in a civil war in Hawai’i — much like the division, chaos and angst that has infected most the nation and world at this time. Discrimination at Kamehameha Schools has triggered a national lawsuit. For generations, many of us thought, hoped actually, that Hawai’i could be a leader in healing the vast distances between human beings. So much of the music and culture in the islands speaks about all of us being brothers and sister from the same Tree of Life.
However, in part due to social media, the most negative and uncivil individuals and groups continue to grow their influence. One is a Native Hawaiian (Kanaka) provocateur, who goes by ToYou Aunteh Nālani (Nālani), on Facebook, claims to be a Digital creator, who works at getting people drunk; studied at University of Hawai’i, and is from Naalehu, Hawai’i.
Nālani appears to be a lonely, uninspired artist, who can’t find much joy and happiness in her world. Sad actually, because as Ana Vee sings in her hit, Hawai’i, we are blessed to be born and live in these islands. The promise of aloha is to bring people of the world together. Nālani increases the barriers and obstacles between us.
I’ve documented Nālani’s efforts to threaten visitors and non-Kanaka people. I’ve documented Nālani’s racist and anti-White American attitudes, and explained how she misuses “haole.” Appears that she enjoys the attention.
I’ve battled KKK-types on mainland for years. Most are incel boys and disturbed men. In Hawai’i, many Kanaka women seem to feed their egos by slurring and slandering other people. Psychologists might claim that they feel better about themselves by putting others down. Some call such females: Mean Girls
In a November 8th post that came across my social media newsfeed, Nālani posted a meme with Kanaka definitions that serve to disparage and ridicule non-Kanaka residents and visitors. The word “haole” means stranger, but Kanaka apply the label primarily to White Americans.
In context, the disgusting slur means “White nigger.” Nālani admits the term is pejorative, and applied to a person who “comments on or explains something Hawaiian to a Hawaiian in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate manner.”
Consider what is a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate manner? I’m a surfer. At the beach recently, two protected monk seals swam up and were sleeping on the sand where we enter and exit the ocean. A handful of young Kanaka males arrived and began playing their rap music extremely loud.
Hawai’i law requires humans to give the endangered monk seals wide space, about 40 feet, and requests we do our best to be quiet. The monk seals need to sleep and rest. If not, they die in the ocean waters.
One of the female volunteers politely asked the young Kanaka males to turn down their music. The group leader called her a “bitch” and said to mind her own business. Another Kanaka male allowed his dog to roam off-leash. The dog broke past the protective cone and yellow tape restricted barrier and ran up to the monk seals. The female volunteers were horrified. Dogs really scare the monk seals.
I politely warned the Kanaka dog owner, “You might be fined.” Don’t care, he said. I won’t pay it. “They might arrest you,” I added. So what, been arrested before. Finally, I added, “They might impound and euthanize your dog.”
“Fuck you, haole!!! I’m sick of you telling us what to do. Shut the fuck up!” The group was gathering, forming together, and suggesting they might engage me violently. I turned around and said nothing more. This is how Kanaka intimidate and bully. Kanaka men especially are quickly angered in a White American male stands up to them. Individually they don’t do or say much. In a group, they will quickly form a threatening gang.
The message, “SHUT THE FUCK UP. You don’t belong here. We don’t like you. We will fuck you up if we get the chance.” Nālani continues this threatening, disparaging and uncivil behavior online. Maybe females find their Mean Girl Voice hiding behind the keyboard.
I document this anti-social, negative behavior hoping to bring light to the lack of aloha by many Kanaka residents in the islands. Some have the FALSE belief that White Americans stole this land from them. The kings, queens, privileged members of the monarchy, sold and traded land. Land was never stolen in Hawai’i.
I document various discussions and debate that I have with members of the Kanaka lāhui:
SEE: Tragic that Native Hawaiians Have Such Poor Education
SEE: David Ruch PROVES Native Hawaiians Have Poor Education
SEE: Mystik Mandy Michelle Further PROVES Native Hawaiians Have Poor Education
Some Kanaka, such as Elijah Kalā McShane and Adam Keawe Manalo-Camp, hope to make non-Kanaka feel guilty, as White Guilt can lead to profit. The truth is Kanaka and non-Kanaka equally spoil and protect the ‘aina and waters in these islands. None of us are perfect. Most of us can do better. And some of us are truly working hard to live our kuleana (responsibility) to malama (care) for the ‘aina (land), kai (ocean) and ‘ohana (our community).
Apparently, Nālani wants attention. Therefore, I give her the attention she appears to be seeking. It’s my hope that Nālani will realize that putting down others, i.e., using vinegar, is not as effective as being kind and using aloha (honey). We can only hope!
