So tired. So angry. So tired of being angry. This program exhausts me. The only thing I can say against it is that it\u02bbs too much sometimes. When you preach to the choir, they\u02bbre listening already. Who is this for? Everyone in this class chose to be here. The way they say “white;” the anger is palpable. We needed a radical in 1993. It was so brave to say, \u02bbWe are not American. We will never be American. I am not an American.” I have hoah\u0101nau that served in the U.S. military. What do I do about that? I went home to O\u02bbahu last month and I bristled constantly. “That\u02bbs not how you say that. There\u02bbs a kahak\u014d. That place is not Yokes. It\u02bbs Keawa\u02bbula.” No one\u02bbs going to call it that. Part of me, when I watch this, makes the argument, “Sanskrit is dead. Latin is dead. Hawaiian is alive.” And if it is alive then Yokes gets to be a part of the conversation. Then I go to the palace. I\u02bbve walked those hallowed grounds so many times. I\u02bbve looked out the window of that empty room where they kept her. Promulgate a new constitution. Her intent before she was betrayed. I didn\u02bbt even know that word. Promulgate. I\u02bbm getting angry again. Why didn\u02bbt she listen to Charles Wilson? Arrest three traitors and take a gamble that America won\u02bbt send the calvary to save these descendants of missionaries and suger barons.<\/p>\n
I went to a gathering on L\u0101 K\u016b\u02bboko\u02bba. What is ea? What does it men today? Ua huh\u016b au n\u014d. Kaumaha. So heavy. Sadness is correctly described in \u02bb\u014dlelo Hawai\u02bbi as heavy. I could write about this until you say, “Stop!\u201d But it all comes \u02bbround again and again. Venezuela. Greenland. Ukraine. It’s all the same fucking day, man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
