You are misinterpreting the definition of the word. Ha is breath and a'ole is no. We're not saying no soul, we're saying no breath. Hawaiians used to touch foreheads and inhale simultaneously to recognize each other. The colonizers/missionaries thought it was sexual and didn't do it (and told Hawaiians to stop doing it). So haole means no sharing of breath (and also don't do that sharing of breath thing). Nobody is saying you don't have a soul.My only problem is being told I have no soul, by someone I've never met, because of the color of my skin.
Fuck em Racer. Your intentions are obvious but you’re preaching to a completely non porous blob.You are misinterpreting the definition of the word. Ha is breath and a'ole is no. We're not saying no soul, we're saying no breath. Hawaiians used to touch foreheads and inhale simultaneously to recognize each other. The colonizers/missionaries thought it was sexual and didn't do it (and told Hawaiians to stop doing it). So haole means no sharing of breath (and also don't do that sharing of breath thing). Nobody is saying you don't have a soul.
What do i know. I just read stuff on the internetYou are misinterpreting the definition of the word. Ha is breath and a'ole is no. We're not saying no soul, we're saying no breath. Hawaiians used to touch foreheads and inhale simultaneously to recognize each other. The colonizers/missionaries thought it was sexual and didn't do it (and told Hawaiians to stop doing it). So haole means no sharing of breath (and also don't do that sharing of breath thing). Nobody is saying you don't have a soul.
So I have no breath of life instead?"The honi is a Polynesian greeting in which two people greet each other by pressing noses and inhaling at the same time. This is a very honorific as this represents the exchange of ha--the breath of life, and mana--spiritual power between two people. This act and the concepts behind it are very unusual to western audiences and care should be taken to explain the spirituality and sacredness of this simple act of greeting."
You aren't a real deep thinker, are you. Other Hawaiians can tell you it means no life, or no spirit, or no soul. Onula can write about fücking haoles coming to Hawaii. ( that is how this thing started.) I can tell you that I as a white guy am offended. The whole western world is rioting about stopping racism.Nobody is saying you have or don't have anything.You're projecting too much spiritualness on this.
It'd be like people who have babies but then refuse to have them vaccinated (and tell others to not get their babies vaccinated).
We'd call them Anti-Vaxxers.
Natives got fücked. U.S. govt should go back and honor every treaty they signed.
Why do you think that just because I'm offended by racist insults of any kind, that I would not realize injustice.
See, I would never argue with a Hawaiian who said his people got their land stolen at the point of a bayonet. I'd have no problem if they sued and won billions from the plantation owners.
My only problem is being told I have no soul, by someone I've never met, because of the color of my skin.
Don't let dogma get in the way of clear thinking.
So here a thread starts about some Hawaiian who wants to take back Hawaii. That's some ignorant bullshit right there. What, you want a civil war? What's the difference between that guy and some southern cracker who wants to rehash the civil war, and fly a losing flag.
You miss the nuance.that ^^^ seems at odds with the following
It's just a word. Nobody freaks out when somebody says, "hey you know that black dude Steve you work with?" or at least they shouldn't. Nobody should freak out about someone saying "Tom the haole guy who lives on the corner."You aren't a real deep thinker, are you. Other Hawaiians can tell you it means no life, or no spirit, or no soul. Onula can write about fücking haoles coming to Hawaii. ( that is how this thing started.) I can tell you that I as a white guy am offended. The whole western world is rioting about stopping racism.
And absolutely nothing is going to open your mind to see any perspective but your own.
I honestly feel bad for you. You are missing out on so much.
Unless you guys have any more to say about it, I'm done here. You just aren't ever going to figure it out.
Probably a good thing they didn't share breath otherwise they all would have ended up dead from disease like central americans.The no breath / no soul thing is because caucasians didn't great each other by touching foreheads and inhaling together (how Hawaiians greeted each other), so Hawaiians said they didn't share breath not that they didn't have breath.
Haole isn't the big insult you think it is. I call my haole friend, "My haole friend" when describing them to other haole friends. My dad is haole and my Hawaiian family says, "your haole dad." It's really not a big deal.
Almost, except Thendone guvtard is actually renting from asian oligarchs who made millions selling slave labor from their communes. Eventually, Thendone and his friends lose their jobs after they train their replacements who end up moving here using H1B visas sold to them by their philanthropic leaders promising a better life for all. However, the oligarchs are smart and price colluded to jack up real estate prices so now a single family home is filled with 3 families with 5 kids each. Traffic goes to sh!t, disease rains rampant, no can afford to buy anything, everyone is renting making ridiculous amounts of money to pay for a closet. Thendone and friends end up moving to Idaho and join a right wing militia, use whatever money they saved to buy bugout homes in Costa Rica and Panama for retirement. The cycle continues.Umm no . As usual you kinda of missed the point.
Grandkids inherit house. Sell on open market for $ 709,990. Local couple scrape up life savings and borrow an amount barely tenable based on local wages. Thendone guvktard from North Dakota who spends 20 hours of his life coding, is still a virgin and spends zero if his wages with local businesses swoops in and offers $200,000.00 above asking price.
He saw an Instagram post by a similar loser about how cool surfing was and decided he’s tired of being a virgin without friends.
Santa Cruz in a nutshell.
You mean that disease where America overthrows your government and installs one more to their liking?Probably a good thing they didn't share breath otherwise they all would have ended up dead from disease like central americans.
Michener is long-winded, but his attention to detail seems to do justice to complex histories, particularly where cultures collide with socio-economic interests. it's a formula he works, but he does it so well. it's actually fascinating to hear from someone who was a part of it - thanks!Yup! The (international sailors, not only haole's) wanted nookie and booze after there arduous crossing around The Horn. Tired and sunburnt, they were quarantined aboard there ships by the "local" humanitarian Caucausian contingent of Christian's who came to save the heathens of the Pacific. So now it was Portuguese, Spanish, Caucasoids, Dutch whatever sailors against the white christians. Coming ashore the sailors battled the local white & brown police officers, the white shop owners, and the white christians. And in the evening, they stormed the white christian church, trying to burn it to the ground after fueling themselves with the local grog made by the white owner of the local grog shop. And the local brownies, in an attempt to save the white christian church availed themselves, hurling upon the thatched roof trying to beat the flames down to save the white christian church ~ ✌
