Pineapple joins sugar as almost a memory - Hawaii Editorials

what else do we have?

an ability to take money from people through the legislative process --- or in other words, to harvest money from the rich guys

and there is enough rich people still around for us to continue to harvest a good crop

we can take their money and use it to maintain and expand government jobs or to generate government contract money to support our middle class

this is much, much easier than picking pineapples

I doubt that people will be attracted to cement, high rises, and rail! Thanks, Cynthia.

Hah.

You pretty much described Plantation Asian Democrat Hawaii for the past 50 years.

You have a summary of 'Land and Power in Hawaii' by Gavin Daws.

1) Plantation Asian immigrants use their numerical majority to force statehood and take over all government power, all government jobs.

2) Same Plantation Asian immigrants form 'Huis' to collectively buy prime preservation and beach properties.

3) Same Plantation Asian immigrants use their political connections to upzone that cheap Preservation land into development land.

4) Plantation Asians sell that land to mainland developers in the 50's and 60's and then to Japanese developers in the 70's and 80s.

5) In the 1990s, the Plantation Asian Democrats have developed just about every last beach and prime lands that they can and run out of money.

6) So they build Rail.

Plantation Pau.

Everybody who came to work came on TEMPORARY contracts.

1/2 the Japanese, for example, WENT HOME.

Time for the rest of you laborers to go home now.

Mahalo for all your help. Shoogah pau. Pineapole pau.

Aloha and Arigato

What of the Hawaiian-Chinese or Hawaiian-Japanese or Hawaiian-Filipino descendants of "Plantation Asians"? Poi, just because you couldn't pack it with a Plantation Asian boy, don't hold it against everyone. Your prince will come.

Good you went home to California too. What a dump you live in give it back to the Indians and Hispanics A**hole Haole.

it is all so sad that Hawaii will lose another symbol of it's special aloha.........so more commercial buildings etc etc and all so ugly......
I grew up in Hawaii and loved "going home" and driving to the pineapple fields for a taste of the best....the thought of Hawaiian pineapple being grown in china or wherever ......what a horrible thought!
And all this for the tourist dollar......sad indeed

good fun was working in the fields for Del Monte in the 70s. Kunia.

Yellow Haole.

Really.

Get your own identity.

Put down the fake lei and the 1 dozen Hawaiian words and get back in touch with your grandfathers samurai past.

No shame.

Go.

Mahalo Plantation Asian Unions.

You jacked up wages so high that you killed off your provider.

Now you all trying to do the same thing with the entire state via your HGEA, HSTA, DOE and trade unions.

Be careful.

Union success has its impact.

Check out Vallejo California.

Bye bye contracts.

Yes, you dummies should have kept your wages in line with the third world sugar producing countries. How dare you demand a living wage in America! That's so out of line. Of course, you could always get a job servicing old Poi, unless you've reached the age of majority. He likes 'em a little young, right Poi?

Typical "local".

Degenerating into trash talk when you can't handle the data.

New industry now is servicing the one owner w/no children 8 billion dollar properties.

New developments could be built around these billion dollar homes to provide groundskeeping, around the clock concierge service, food preparation, remodelling services, attorney services, auto dealer contact and repair, housekeeping. Other services could support the properties primary care givers. Enough millionaires, billionaires, trillionaires including Yen and Yuan ...aires could be the new property buyers.

My great grandparents came to Hawaii from Japan before the turn of the twentieth century. My grandparents were born on American soil, as were my parents and their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. We intermarried and have pretty much every ethnic group in our family's genetic makeup. Are you saying that I'm not an American? What of other immigrants? Should they leave now that the reason for their being brought to America is no longer applicable? Are you a Native American? Are you a descendant of the colonists who came over on the Mayflower? Are you Hawaiian? What gives you the right to tell me or my family to "go home now"? Where should I go? I am Hawaiian, Chinese, Irish, Japanese, German, English and Portuguese. My kids are even more mixed than I am. What should they do? You are a bigot and should think before you spout off your hateful rhetoric.

You don't know your own history.

Your great grandparents came to Hawaii, the territory stolen by the US, in order to do some temporary work on an temporary contract.

They had no intention of staying and in fact 1/2 of the Japanese workers did either go home or move on to somewhere else.

Your ancestors built their own Japanese only schools so that their kids, your parents etc, could learn and live amongst their own kind until they were able to get back home.

Your ancestors knew they weren't staying, or were extremely racist, because the men refused in intermarry but instead invented a complex elaborate system of importing Japanese only wives.

So your 1st ancestors were the lowest of Japanese society so they had to go abroad to get work. Then the strongest and the smartest of that group in Hawaii were able to get back home or onto better things. That leaves the weakest of the weak still in Hawaii.

Amazing thing is that the Japanese in particular went from complete isolation with their own wives, own schools, own churches in the first part of the 1900s to becoming fake-hawaiian-Wannabees in the second half of the 1990s.

Funny, no?

Seems like a serious identity crisis and a turning of your back you your true ancestors and history.
