Hawaiian Society Pre-US Was A Caste System. My Friends Grandma Grew Up In The Lowest Caste - Lacked Rights,

Hawaiian society pre-US was a caste system. My friend’s grandma grew up in the lowest caste - lacked rights, abused etc. Her life 100% improved after US change.

For those that had a height to fall from, it sucked. For the lowest? Big improvements. I think a certain level of care and transparency is needed if people are hoping to reinstate that rule. 

Today is a good day to remind people that Queen Liliuokalani was deposed by the US Government because of sheer greed, racism, and misogyny. 

The Hawaiian Islands were made a territory and then a state because of greed. Because of coffee and pineapples and sugar cane. Because the US gov’t did not want to be beholden to a Queen of Hawaii, or any Hawaiian leader for that matter. And neither did the people wanting to sell those products so they pressured the US gov’t (like they continue to do). 

The Hawaiian islands are seeking to become a true sovereign nation with political recognition of their sovereignty. Please consider purchasing goods from Native Hawaiians rather than the haole, outsider corporations that are selling the same thing and undercutting. Also consider supporting the various Native Hawaiian organizations (NHOA) found here and here.

Men that avidly support sex work - in terms of “all women should do this! It’s empowering and a great way to earn money!” - are not to be trusted. He’s a matador at this point with all those red flags.

Please give your thoughts on the idubbz situation?

Listen if you even consider dating a girl who sexually manipulates other guys into giving her money, even if the photos aren’t outright sexual, that’s a major L . Also a red flag. Your s/o should not be exposing him/herself to other people like that for any reason. He needs to get some self respect and leave immediately.
