Did Sarah Palin Leave College In Hawaii Because Of Racism?
In a predictably condescending and long-winded review of her book, Sam Tanenhaus of The New Yorker suggests that Sarah Palin left college in Hawaii when she was 18 because she was turned off by the number of Asians and Pacific Islanders there:
She is equally circumspect on the issue of ethnicity, pointing out that Todd, whom she met in high school, is “part Yupik Eskimo” and opened her to the “social diversity” of Alaska. (Wasilla is more than eighty per cent white.)Palin, though notoriously ill-travelled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. “Hawaii was a little too perfect,” Palin writes. “Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.” Perhaps not. But Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.” In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, “because it was much like Alaska yet still ‘Outside.’ ”
I find it a little hard to believe that someone would choose to go to college in Hawaii and then leave because there were too many…Hawaiians. But liberals will no doubt chalk that up to how stupid and provincial Palin is (according to them).
I did some searching of that quote, and it’s been around for a while but I can’t seem to find any context for it. And Heath’s statement structure seems…odd. Is he really referring to Pacific Islanders as “a minority type thing” or was he referring to something else? I think he wasn’t referring to people given the other part of his statement, “it wasn’t very glamorous.”
Maybe he was referring to the fact that the university in Hawaii is or was a minor one, that it wasn’t a very glamorous campus, so she decided to leave it? That seems a more likely scenario for a young girl who, at 18, was looking for experiences outside of Alaska.
I can’t seem to find it, but I would sure like to see the context in which Palin’s father Chuck Heath made these comments. Because outside of this one statement there is no evidence from Palin’s life that she is at all racist toward anyone, not the least Asians and Pacific Islanders.
And I certainly wouldn’t put it past the left, with their bottomless well of hate for all things Palin, to be taking some inartfully made comments out of context to brand someone they want desperately to be a racist as a racist.
You are a total lying dipstick who’s reading comprehension is on par with an amoeba. You excuse racism against whites because there is racism against blacks. What a bufoon. Personally I see no racism shown to blacks, in fact most people I see are exceedingly polite and overly PC and go way out of their way to show courtesy to blacks. But you go ahead and have your double standards, its the liberal way.
G’night, Hanni! Have sweet dreams!
Sorry, ya big, big dope, but you got it wrong. Her dad is not claiming she is a racist, you just don’ know what the word means.
He implied she was not comfortable being around so many Asian, Pacific Islanders. I base that on her being a minority. She likes power and is uncomfortable without it.
You don’t like what her dad says, because it makes her look weak, which she is.
Too bad.
Why isn’t H playing his usual symantic games with Rob’s post and calling him a liar?
For several years I did the triangle between California, Alaska and Hawaii for business, about every 6-8 weeks. Hawaii is not a place that is good for concentrating on work or study, it is a Paradise that draws everyone to seek the beach, the bars and the shade. There is a saying, “It ain’t no big deal brother!” Meaning take it easy, don’t make a big deal out of things.
So, I believe her, it is a Paradise and study and work are very hard for those not used to the beauty, the pace of living and the attractions of nature there – it takes time to get used to it all and even many native Hawaiins suffer from laziness. There is a prejudice in Hawaii, towards those from the lower 48 of every race, but not sufficient to cause Palin any culture shock!
Didn’t Hanni once link us to a documentary where he was a surfer? Being featured in a documentary like that makes you somewhat of a public figure, doesn’t it?
Give it a rest! You have made your point over and over! There is no evidence of racism in her life, there is by her own mouth though perhaps not as specific as it could have been that, she encountered a Paradise and had not anticipated how hard the culture and nature there would be on her ability to study and excel.
There may have also been, absent any racism a culture shock and a feeling of being an outsider. Now for God’s sake, leave it alone!
Think of me as a “whistle blower” on a less than competent, less than honest, less than civil, less than sane employee of theirs!
Kenny,
The racism in your state has murdered many a black man. Good luck comparing the numbers to Hawaii.
But, what ever floats your boat. You have the KKK, what does Hawaii have that is at all similar???
Wanker: My envy of you is nonexistent. You lied about leaving the other thread ( you spent the next thirty minutes commenting here) because you said you were going surfing. You lied about me “dancing on the graves of veterans” and when I asked you to link to any such reference, you lied and cowered hiding over on another thread.
You are lying scum, Willi Vanilli. You tell lies and then, whenever you get your arse handed to you, you disappear and then show up a little later pretending nothing has happened.
The only place where nothing is happening is between your ears, Wankertized!
That is an old and very tired tactic, accusing people of racism. As I said, I have been to Hawaii on many, many occasions and I know that the Hawaiins have a laid back cultural history and that when people come there from outside the Islands and see the beauty and the calm, no rush attitude of most pacific Islanders, it is infectious and for many it does not lend itself to hard work in study and well just plain work. Had it not been for native Hawaiins, Asians and others needing to earn a living pushing me from place to place, I would not have been as successful as I was at the time. They were the ones that educated me on how hard it is to work there and about the laid back cultural history.
Next, my Christian parents never uttered a racist word or conveyed any racist feelings all the time I was growing up. We had a multi-cultural family then (My late half-brother and living half sister are 1/2 Cheyenne). We have blacks (many), Asians (several) and hispanics in our family, I am closest to my 6′4″ 265 lbs, 17-year-old black grandson and my 20-year-old Philippino grandaughter that live nearby. So, you can all take your racist accusation and shove it where the sun don’t shine. I am sick of that label and others like homophobia just because you run out of arguments.
I don’t recall using the word lazy, if I did it was inadvertent and I meant laid back, no big deal about things kind of attitude, it is even promoted on T-Shirst and other souveiers and I was talking mostly about Native Hawaiins.
hannitized has posted pics of himself, surely he was bragging about someone else’s muscles?
Gosh! You are just as stupid as ever, Hannitwit! I already corrected you on this once, moron. Don’t you ever learn???
It wasn’t an election year. It was 2009. It was on the occasion of Obama’s Inauguration, which takes place the year after an election year.
Sarah could not take the heat. Blacks and Hispanics deal with it everyday, Sarah could not.
Examples:

http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/rnr/1497188435.html
You mean like what school they went to overseas??? Like a madrasa??
Well the shove it statement still applies to the other two!
Actually, I found out that for a lot my business in Hawaii, it came after 5:00 PM at a classy hotel bar near the beach, a few drinks, lots of talk and the heat of the day was the least productive. Oh we traveled here and there during the day and made contacts and talked about this and that, but the real deals were not made in the heat of the day. My Hawaiin contacts were the ones that educated me on that and on the laid back culture of most of the Pacific Islands, it wasn’t about family, although that was true, as much as not getting all upset about things in life, not pushing, it has been many years, but the phrase was something like “it ain’t no big deal Brother” (wasn’t “brother” but slang for brother) and “hang loose,” which was not a surfing slang as much as that “take it easy” idea.
So, I may have been less attentive than I should have been, knowing so many people here like jumping to conclusions, but it was intended to mean that laid back, take it easy cultural approach to life and business.
“Nor do you understand the laws of cyberstalking, cyber threats or bullying. Just because someone provides pictures, or bits of information of themselves, it does not give others permission to use that to threaten, investigate or research that person for purposes of harassment and to cause that person drama.”
Hannitized PLEASE share that with every liberal troll on the internet starting with DINO?
It’s about character.
The Stupidest Person on the Internet still can’t back up the cr@p he made up about me “dancing on the graves of veterans”. What a shocker! Lies are like that! And he’s stupid enough to think that I could get into legal trouble for simply reposting what he himself has already (stupidly) posted. What a maroon!
I have given you plenty of warning, Wankertized to stop lying about me, yet you turn around and make up new lies. And still you expect me to continue to shield you from your consequences of “Typing while stupid”!
I’ve been advised not to give personal information to cyber stalkers like you, Wankertized. But keep projecting! You have more projection than a multiplex!
You’ve got a lot of d*mn gall, Wankertized, making up new lying libels about me and then when it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were lying through your fecal stained teeth, you want to call a truce? Fine, Documentary Star! Just apologize for your lies. The power is all in the one hand you type with, Wankertized!
Your part is about thirty minutes into the documentary, nicht wahr?
BTW, Wee Willi Vanilli: Everyone who signs in to comment knows how insanely easy it is to sign in, once you’ve set up your account. Your reluctance to do so as often as you do, either indicates a sub-moronic level of intellignece, or a person with something to hide. (Or both!)
That’s what your Mom said!

I am currently enjoying our company retreat in Kona from today until Friday. Something I am sure you think every, unimportant employee enjoys, no doubt.
I spoke to our HR Director tonight about your threats. We are prepared to have you lay out all of your concerns about me out on the table as well as discuss your threats, that you state how our business might be impacted by your desire to tarnish our standing in the community with your unsophisticated and incorrect interpretations of what you think you read.
You are in dangerous waters, and we would like to help you sail through them. When can we have a con call to discuss your, as well as our, concerns about your unbalanced desire to lash out at those you can not defeat in debate??
Kenny,
Only a 3rd rate DJ could overlook Laura calling me a racist, while I maintain my debate with her, without name calling, or using derogatory names.
Haoule may be a word that can be used in the context of contempt, but it is far from derogatory, like the N-word.
But you know, call me a racist and then claim I am the hateful one.
Just more hatred, angry hyperbole and lies from the angry right.
Palin’s father let the truth come out. Why would he lie. No motive.
BTW, Hannitwit: You’re still under consideration for my series “Stupidest Person on the Internet”. (I almost slipped and said “Man”. We all know you don’t fit that category!)
I imagine it will be a short series, Priscilla, but your CDS (conservative derangement syndrome) will figure prominently!
You got a knack for dishonesty there H.
You are a naive simpleton, bob, or a disingenious bootlicker who would suck up to any lib politician. Do you reall believe KKK Byrd wouldn’t lie so he could remain in office? He is KKK all the way, imbecile.
Right on cue.
For PROOFoundlystupid, it’s just more of that give blacks a hard time for doing the same thing whites are, mentality.
But hey, no racism in this country, at all.
I expected no less than a double standard like yours which excuses racist behaviour to whites and a racist icon in your party. Really the only time your party “cares” about blacks is when you want their votes. The rest of the time you just want them kept on the welfare voter plantation voting for handouts. Its typical liberal bootlicker down the line ideologue crap that you always support. Your party is the slaver party and is disgraceful.
Just tell your HR people to monitor this blog on a daily basis, and stop being a gutless coward and link to all your old comments, because, you’re not ashamed of anything you’ve said here, are you Wankertized?
I’ve linked to over 20,000 of my comments and every article I have written here and on Proof Positive is searchable. I have nothing to hide Wankertized. Only POS liars need to hide what they have said. If the flip flop fits, Wankertized…
Have your HR guy go here and then form an opinion as to whether or not I “dance on the graves of veterans”. http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/search/label/Medal%20of%20Honor
Laura,
Thank you for the name calling. I really appreciate that. Why is it you say I am a racist? Do you even know what the word means? Are you sure you don’t mean bigot, or that you think I am prejudiced?? I have said nothing that would lead anyone to believe I think any one race is better or worse than another.
If you look at that comment I included, it shows the superior mindset of the caucasian, while he managed to misspell Filipino.
I used the words “angry white person”, becuause like you, there are “angry black people” too. They are also hypersensitive to racism and words.
Do you know what the word haoule means?
Here, let me help you with that:
Now, kindly tell me what the work n@gger means, and tell me if the two are equal.
Go ahead. I have all night.
Kind of stupid, eh, russ? If someone is stupid enough to put stuff out on the internet where anyone can exploit it, what do they expect?
Quit, run and lie about it. That’s all Sarah Palin has done in her life.
You should have stopped at hardly think, that would be more accurate. Heh.
Look, that fact that you don’t understand that you are using Rob’s site as a tool to conduct your cyber stalking is not my fault. It’s yours and Rob’s problem. He has been informed of your threats to contact more people who I work with, and people I am friendly with.
That’s all that need to be said. Just think, before you plink on the keys.
I guess when it’s sunny, we can expect Sarah to take the day off, and go to the beach.
Not very presidential, or responsible.
Here is an example of the attitudes from whites, who have lived in Hawaii.
Classy:
http://www.slublog.com/archives/2009/08/racism_in_hawai.html
I hear you. Just didn’t want you to be “skeered off” by someone nuttier than a Hawaiian fruitcake!
Nieman, I said that I don’t think that you are a racist.
I do think you have to be careful with that Hawaiians are lazy statement. I said that once. Once. I learned that it doesn’t come across as we thought.
In Hawaii, most people clock out at 5:00pm. That doesn’t mean they are lazy as much as it could mean that people in Hawaii might have a different appreciation for family and living life. It’s a cultural thing more than it is laziness. Laziness implies they don’t work hard.
So, again, I did not call you racist. There is a difference between prejudice and racism. Prejudice can look like racism, if you aren’t clear on what you are saying.
We could all have done without this little tidbit of personal information, but since you provided it yourself and it is a perfect illustration of your incredible stupidity and provides us with endless amusement, here it is, once again:
“The responsible women told me right before we were going to have protected sex and indicated they were not having a “break outâ€. HSV-1 or HSV-2 are usually visual. I didn’t stick around long as one was in a transition period, as was I, she just wanted to hit it because we worked together and because of the tension. The second I just lost interest after learning the facts. So I reduced my risk exposure down to one experience only, per woman.
I have never contracted an STD. But I sometimes take pills for Clamydia just to be safe, because its hard to diagnose and is most common in women.
Hannitized on May 10, 2009 at 10:13 amâ€
You are very careless in maintaining data about yourself, Wankertized. You spread it all over the Internet. And you have loose lips about what you do, what your company does and the military and civilian clients your company has.
If I had to guess, you either don’t have a security clearance or shouldn’t. I can see where you might be scared spitless that your own incompetence, carelessness and overweening desire to shoot off your mouth and exaggerate your own self importance would be revealed.
And I especially can see why you do not link to the nearly 10,000 comments that prove it.
Wright and Ayers, just some guys Obama “has met”, eh?
My GF is white, and you should see the problems her two mixed children have to deal with when they go to Missouri.
My GF has her own business, is incredibly successful and has over 3000 customers who greet her politely everywhere we go. Locals love her as well as everyone else.
The only people who have problems in Hawaii are arrogant and thinks the world revolves around them. Sort of like PROOFoundlystupid.
PROOFoundlyderanged,
Again, you are the LAST person to be asking for an apology, after contacting my friend and attempting to smear me and damage my personal friendships, business relations. Threatening to contact my employer to damage their ability to earn income and my positions within the company. Threatening to post information about me on your website, lying about me on numerous occasions.
Really….it’s all you bud. You don’t need an apology, you need mental assistance and a life.
Just stop bothering me. I am asking you now to stop threatening me, and stop harassing me and stop threatening me with cyber-stalking. If you know what’s best for you, it would pop in your head that you keep incriminating yourself, legally, when you threaten people on the internet. Threatening my employers position is also something they can take legal action over.
You have been warned.
If you can apologize for just one of those things, we can find compromise.
Hey, I am not the guy who has double standards for whites and blacks, racist.
You are the guy who praised white women for putting the actual American flag in their ass and vagina for a cute photo, all while letting it hit the ground and be up in folds.
Then you harassed and complained and whined about old black women who bought and waved a flag-like banner during an election year.
But you know…I see how your racist minds works. No tolerance for those unlike you.
Well you sure showed your true colors! Hawaiians are lazy? So I guess the Irish are drunks and the Italians are greasy and the Protestants are …..fill in the blank. Anyone who makes a general statement about any cultural or racial group is a sleaze. And who do you mean by Hawaiians? The people who live there or the true Hawaiians who are a people of grace and aloha. I lived in Hawaii for 34 years. I think I know what it is like much better than you. I had no trouble studying or working and was quite successful. So stick it in your ear, bud.
I am not justifying racism. I can’t say it any more clearly than that. But people who simply name call…..c’mon.
Is it really such a big deal that they named a fungal infection “haole rot”? Is that going to prevent a person from experiencing happiness?
The only people who experience racism, are people who have attitude problems. Trust me.
Come to Hawaii AR-15. I’ll teach you to dive, shoot some mongoose, or snipe some rats at night with night vision.
I hate people who blame their inability to accomplish things on racism. But I hate people who tell my friend “get that N@gger out of my boat”, for simply helping him start his boat by taking the battery out of his own to start him up. My friend is in the army, and my ohter friend is in the Navy.
That houle was punched in the face and thrown in the water. And his friends apologized. Maybe that’s the sort of racism people describe in Hawaii. Cuz you know what, it aint tolerated by anybody.
Ah, what do those Asians matter anyway……right?? It’s all about the power hungry and powerful.
If you could recognize stupidity H, you wouldn’t have post yet another pathetically stupid comment.
Herpitized, once again you have been dragged out from under your rock and exposed by all here for the bootlicking racist hypocrit that you are. Now all you are doing is spinning and squirming, as usual. You are a pathetic masochist who can’t help your compulsion to come here day after day and be beat on. You are a very pathetic excuse for a human being, even for a liberal.
I never said anything of the sort. i stated clearly both are wrong, but you can’t compare calling a person a houle to calling a black person a n@gger. They just aren’t the same.
And the suffering native Hawaiian’s and locals endured is much, much greater than anything a white person has, in Hawaii.
You are too slow to understand that distinction, because you are a fool.
You are an idiot if you think my HR cares about what I say on a blog as a personal person, not representing the company. I have the right to a personal life and liberty to speak my political mind as an American.
What they care about is stalkers who dig up information about their employees, who are nameless on the internet, getting harassed to the point where those stalking individuals threaten to cause damage to the stalked persons customer base (which is really my companies base), because the stalker is deranged and obsessed about getting his ass handed to him from that individual person who is not representing his company, on the blog.
You aren’t warned for any other reason than to be legally warned of your behavior, and the consequences, so that you can not claim later that you were not warned.
There is plenty of damning evidence where you have threatened to harm my customer base, and thus my companies reputation because of you personal obsession with me.
And I see no racism shown to whites. Especially all those whites in the nicest houses, in the nicest part of the island. Meanwhile, the Native Hawaiians are pushed to the worst parts of the islands, where they have to commute the farthest, through congested traffic, because they can’t afford to pay the expensive housing that has gone up because whites from the mainland made the property value so high that Hawaiians never had a chance to catch up to the rich people who inherited their families wealth, over the years.
I wonder how many whites were discriminated against, because their Hawaiian speaking skills were not perfect??? Hmmmm????
Seriously, you are a moronic douche, with double standards. You are sub-par man.
If stupidity was art, Hannitized would be hanging in the Louvre, not ten!
This Mr. Heath idiot must have a severe case of Palin Derangement Syndrome.
Why else would he be spreading such lies?
It’s not like he is her father and talked to her about quitting a college.
Just how would this guy know what Sarah was thinking?
Another egocentric leftie tries to make this thread about himself. Typical. Don’t feed the narcissist.
If PROOFoundlystupid didn’t have smears, he would have nothing at all.
You look petty. Why not just debate, and stop the personal attacks? Start…now.
Share this with your HR guy, Lying Wanker: I never threatened your company. Is “threat” yet another English word that you are totally clueless as to the meaning? I speculated as to what the result would be to your company if they found out that they had a loose lipped, lying POS who regularly bad mouths the military (whom you claim is a major customer) working for them, . That is not a “threat”, that would be one possible consequence. If there were any “threat” underlying that, it would be against you personally, lying Wanker, and only if your company were as appalled as the rest of us in the vile llies and nonsense you spew. That’s their choice. If they were to learn of your reputation as a lying POS who regularly bad mouths the military, I would only be the catalyst, bringing together only personal information you shared along with your vile and digusting lies and commentary. If you believe that what you have said on this forum constitutes a “threat” to your company, then by all means confess and be done with it!
If I speak about the possible consequences to another hurricane hitting New Orleans, I am not “threatening” New Orleans. If you weren’t a half witted moron with severe inavbility to read and comprehend simple English, you might have understood that. I have never expressed a “desire to tarnish their reputation”. Indeed, knowing what a lying POS you are, Wankertized, may help them protect their reputation.
However, if you have been 100% forthcoming about the kinds of remarks you have been making in public (I know! I crack myself up!) and they know what a two faced, lying POS you are, then, more power to you! I have absolutlely no interest in what happens to your company. I have caustioned you as to the consequences of revealing bast amounts of personal information about yourself and then proceding to lie through your fecal stained teeth about people you could never have a prayer of defeating in honest debate.
My speculation is that the consequences would fall most heavily on the hapless, hopeless POS dope who continues to post libelous lies after having repeatedly been asked to desist.
I realize thatyou have only gone to your HR guy, as a preemptive measure, trying to get your lying spin in before any bad news hits. But, you lied to him, as well, if you told him that I had any desire to harm his company’s reputation. Why are we not surprised?
Tell you what…your HR guy wants some light reading? Why don’t you show him that you are not a gutless coward and that you stand behind every statement you made and link to the nearly 10,000 comments you are currently hiding from. We’ll wait!
Wnakertized in his own words can make the point far more eloquently than I could.
No, stupid Wanker, I do not think your company would do anything to me because of anything I say. They may however, choose to do something to you, based on what you’ve said. That’s their choice. Do you have a problem with it being an informed choice?
The president of the company is your friend? Good for you! He doesn’t mind you discussing his sexual preference and relationships in a public forum? That’s very open minded of him. Does he know you’ve done that?
It’s not “slander”, moron! And you have libeled me with your lies more times than I can count. Your projection aside, I have warned you that if you did not stop lying about me, I would be tempted to tell the truth about you. That’s what’s got you peeing your pants.
If your boss knows that you’re a loud mouthed, boorish twit with loose lips who says disparaging things about the military, then fine! Nothing he learns from me will change his opinion of you, will it?
I promise to publish only the things you yourself have said , the pictures you have posted, and the links that you yourself provided. Then, you can accuse the Tiki Twerp of “stalking” you, and you can get the “Kahuna of the Kiddie Pool” on a conference call to defend himself against all the stupid, libelous, misogynistic and military hating things he has said.
In the meantime, would you care to retract and apologize for your remark that I “dance on the graves of the military”, since it is obvious that you just made that cr@p up to discredit someone who avidly supports the military, both past and present?
I don’t put much stock in the political implications of an 18yr old as a freshman in college. Could you imagine what we could dig up on politicians from their college years?
Nonsense! I didn’t say all or most, just many as that is part of their laid back culture.
You care about who he has met vs. Sarah’s character as a human who can be near minorities???
OK, what ever.
Kenny says “Hell, who cares that whites abused so many cultures and people. And who cares that we killed them and wiped out their culture. It’s just as bad to be called a haoule”.
Lame.
Wee Willie Wankertized, the mind numbingly stupid and mind numbingly dishonest, snot nosed POS troll and Kahuna of the Kiddie Pool, smears me by making sh*t up and then cries that I’m “smearing” him and asks me to stop the attacks.
First, you can issue a public apology to me for your lastest libel about me “dancing on the graves of vets”, second, another public apology for the false accusations of racism you constantly bring up against me, and then we’ll talk about “starting now”.
But that would require you to “man up”, Wankertized, and I’m not holding my breath.
BTW, You don’t just look petty, Wankertized. You look like a freakin’ dweeb who would blow $800 on a belt. (And the salesman who sold it to you!)
Laura,
Regardless of how you feel Hawaii ranks in racist states of the world (Missouri being an enormously bigoted state), you made the argument about haoule rot, as if that was somehow significant.
Hawaii is one of the best states in our country, and people come here from all over the world, let alone US. Few people come her and experience the racism a black person experience on a daily basis.
And I think you are enormously ignorant to ignore the history of Hawaii, to so nonchalantly suggest that whites experienced harmful racism, like the dark-skinned people and native people of Hawaii have.
Do you even know the history of Hawaii, and how it was stolen from the white man??? I mean, are you serious?
Do you have any history of racism in Hawaii, at all? Other than a few names called to white people???
Did Hawaiians ban football, your style of dance, prevent you from practicing your religion?
I mean, what do you even know, other than your emotional understanding of name-calling?
Hi Laura,
Wow, you are a real angry gal, arent’cha? I have said over and over that I don’t approve of any level of racism. I simply said you are being a baby about a few names such as “haoule” and “haoule rot”.
Blacks were hung from the neck until dead, enslaved, dragged behind trucks until their bodies broke in pieces. Do you know what tarred and feathered included?
You are an ignorant, angry white person. The fact that you attacked me for using personal information to make a point puts you right on par with the rest of trash here who can’t compete in debate.
The only white people who have problems in Hawaii are arrogant jerks. Perhaps once in a while some angry racist person snaps, but that is rare, and usually that person is poor and suffering from hardships. It’s not like the rich white plantation owner calling some black guy boy, or n@gger.
You really have no clue as to equal comparisons when it comes to racism.
Here is more:
The blog is a complain session about meanie Hawaiians. Bohoo.
Here is a Hawaiian’s perspective:
Hey!!! That’s totally equivalent to name calling. /sarcasm
I think you are an angry person Laura. You must be very miserable. That’s too bad. Life is too good to be that angry over small things. But then again, you probably have never suffered like those whose relatives have been subjugated and mastered by white Americans.
The libs bring again bring up the “racist” charge. I`m shocked.
PROOFoundlystupid,
You’ve got a lot of nerve talking to me about apologies after coming to this thread and cr@pping all over it with your personal attacks, and after contacting my friend and trying to smear me and impact my relationship.
Faka wat? False crack?
You stop starting it, and I will stop following it up.
Oh I see…..so because Sarah Palin’s dad said explicitly that she was uncomfortable around Asians and Pacific Islanders, that makes “me” racist. Got it.
Even though I said there is nothing wrong with her being uncomfortable around other cultures and therefore leaving, I am still a “racist”. Got it.
Now, the only thing I don’t believe is why she is uncomfortable around Asians. I think it’s because she is too power hungry to stand around and be a minority. I don’t think she has the personality strong enough, like I do, to be around those who are different.
I like to come to SAB to show what a bunch of non-thinking lap-dogs you all are. None of you can use your brain for anything other than making excuses for each other, and making false stories about those you disagree with.
That about sums y’all up.
Did I leave anything out? Oh yes……..you are a horrible intellectual and a neanderthal. Your avatar is perfect for you. You are essentially a cave man, trying to fit in with the rest of the lunk heads.
Good luck buddy. I cap your salary at 45k, at best.
Dishonest about what?? Surfing??
Yeah. There’s this one SAB “regular” who makes up sh*t all the time. Recently he spewed some bullcr@p about someone “dancing on the graves of veterans”, but the snot nosed POS weasel couldn’t come up with a shred of evidence, because it was a false story he made up.
Oh, wait, Hanni! That was you! Has anyone ever told you that you have more projection than a multiplex?
BTW, Stupid POS Wankertized: You want to back up your latest libelous lie that I “danced on the graves of veterans”. Why would you disparage someone who honors our living Medal of Honor recipients every week and has never done anything to dishonor the graves of our noble veterans? Aside from your insane jealousy and the fact that you are a lying POS, that is!
Did you like the way that genius spelled Filipino?? It’s that sort of arrogance that gets people punched in the mouth, not the color of their skin.
You’re right, Willi Vanilli! It’s a common mistake. I can’t tell you how many times I meant to type “Proof” and typed “California” instead! /sarcasm
Er, where else would one play an “online game”? You just keep the hits coming, don’t you , Wankertized?
The only moron talking about racism is Rob.
There is nothing wrong with her being uncomfortable around Asian, unless it’s something negative.
I am considered a haoule, you donkey. You are so pathetically dumb, that it’s truly embarrassing. for you. Except, you are so clueless to your stupidity, you just meander on by not knowing how stupid you look.
I am not dismissing what used to take place, but in context to what the other side went through, it’s really insignificant. Hell, I spent the majority of my childhood fighting white kids because I was brown, and they harassed me all the time and came after me.
To me, it’s just part of growing up. Today, you don’t see what you are hyping up. It’s not like they dragged the dude behind a truck and ripped his head off, and a few limbs, like white people do.
Talk to any white person here who is accepted and ask them what it takes to live without ever experiencing racial animosity. The fact that you will never be able to understand is why you are, who you are.
Personally, I don’t care what you think of Hawai’i, as long as it keeps you out. We don’t need any more dumb, arrogant mainlanders in this great state.
Well take the cool, good looking people who get it, and come here to live a peaceful and happy life and co-exist with like-minded people who understand Aloha, and not pure greed and abuse of the land.
Cool thrive here, arrogant a-holes always end up going home with their tail between their legs. You wouldn’t make it a year.
Haoule rot is a skin bacteria, genius. And racism goes both ways. What do you know of the racism that prevented the true Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders from being able to get ahead in Hawaii when the Christians took over Hawaii and wiped out the Native Hawaiians with disease and their racist laws?
Hey Genius,
If he is KKK all the way, why is he voting now to help blacks, and saying he was wrong??? Is that the KKK way to vote to ensure blacks are treated as equals and to smear the principles for what you once stood?
Moron.
You are truly sub-par. Does somebody feed you for breakfast, I have doubts you could feed yourself without missing your mouth.
I don’t think any racism is ok, the difference is that YOUR racism has hurt people lives, ability to get a leg up in life and has benefitted the white man. Racism is terrible, but a name here and there is something I have learned to deal with.
We all deal with racism, the difference is that we can handle it.
Nieman,
It was probably “Braddah”, not Brother. Although lately the word brother is used a lot when haoules like me don’t want to play up the local thing. I learned early on that it’s better to be yourself than to try and speak pidgin.
I am not sure what years you were here, but a lot has changed. Of course how business is done depends on what industry you are in and what culture the executive management comes from.
Today, you might hear:
“ho, take um easy brah”. “Brah, you like pau already”? “We go, we go”.
The best a person can do to close a deal is to just show that you care, take your time working the deal and let them see you have their best interest in mind. Don’t show any impatience or arrogance.
Hey Kenny,
You ignorant, lying, scumbag.
Educate yourself, and thank me later.
http://www.kkkk.net/missouri/index.htm
You find that odd, sure, because it reflects poorly on Palin. But I bet what you don’t find odd is that she went to go to school in Hawaii, but didn’t like the sun.
Yeah, that makes sense. “Hawaii is too sunny…..I can’t concentrate here”!! – Sarah Palin
There are plenty of caucasians who suffer culture shock when they get here and find out they are the minority and are not the top of the food chain.
People from the mainland cant be as arrogant or as loud and cocky as they are at home. They also don’t like treating Asians and Pacific Islanders as equals, or like being around them….so many leave or bitch all the time.
Just go to craigslist and read for yourself. People are always discussing the cultural divide.
Lastly, Rob is too stupid to know the difference between a “Hawaiian” and a Pacific Islander.
Moron.
I guess the 10 to 15 foot waves that Hanni said he was going to catch about a half an hour ago were too scary for him. Maybe a 10 to 15 foot wide kiddie pool would be more his style?
I was waiting on another thread for Wankertized to provide some evidence that he was not lying thorough his fecal stained teeth, and his ADD must have kicked in, because he’s over here just as if he handn’t had his arse handed to him! I was going to wait until he came back, but apparently, he never left. He was over here, cowering on another thread!
Your stupidity knows no bounds H.
Hannitwit, the profoundly brain damaged, puts up a straw man that no one is arguing! No one said that there was no racism in this country. And you have not given one iota of evidence that I have different standards for blacks or whites at all. Just as you have been AWOL in backing up your lastest lying libel that I somehow “danced on the graves of veterans”. You have no evidence. You have no brains. You are lying scum. Any questions?
defense, not defends.
Because Idaho is a major campus? Because Idaho is more glamorous?
If you are going to have a career as a Palin apologist, you need to do better.
Herpitized, didn’t you once claim to be some kind of mexican or something? Is that why you don’t see whites referred to as haoles as racism? This is just a typical double standard from one of the most narrow minded lying indoctrinated leftist ideologues that visits SAB. No wonder, you have herpes rot in your brain. You were the idiot who posted this, were you not? Here is what you wrote:
“The responsible women told me right before we were going to have protected sex and indicated they were not having a “break outâ€. HSV-1 or HSV-2 are usually visual. I didn’t stick around long as one was in a transition period, as was I, she just wanted to hit it because we worked together and because of the tension. The second I just lost interest after learning the facts. So I reduced my risk exposure down to one experience only, per woman.
I have never contracted an STD. But I sometimes take pills for Clamydia just to be safe, because its hard to diagnose and is most common in women.
Hannitized on May 10, 2009 at 10:13 am”
WHFF,
I see you had to refer back to your right-wing-loon talking points. Didn’t you leave something out? Like, communism or socialism or something like that? What about baby-killer and all that?
You really have no legs when it comes to standing up in a debate.
Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong, Wankertized? You yourself either posted or admitted to everything I know about you. When you have stalked me over at “Proof Positive”, it shows your IP address and you ISP. That’s how I know that you not only monitor my blog from your private ISP, but have also signed in from your work ISP. ( I could post the evidence if you like!)
Does your boss know that you read blogs on the company dime?
Not being comfortable around people who aren’t like you, and thus causing you to move is not racist…..it’s normal.
Rob makes a fundamental mistake in not understanding that people naturally go where they are most comfortable. And further, mainlanders have a hard time in Hawaii because you must be low key, and not an arrogant ass. You would never survive here if you were.
She couldn’t handle it. She needs that to get by in life.
Hanni: the KKK was a Dem terrorist organization created to drive both black and white Republicans out of the South. Your ignorance strikes again.
Neither I nor Sarah are racists, you cannot prove either false claim. You just curse and accuse and substitute that for intelligent conversation.
At least, unlike you, neither of us are anal retentive liberal bastards!
3rd Rate,
You wouldn’t know the difference between personal details and information that was investigated and sought after if someone explained it to you.
Nor do you understand the laws of cyberstalking, cyber threats or bullying. Just because someone provides pictures, or bits of information of themselves, it does not give others permission to use that to threaten, investigate or research that person for purposes of harassment and to cause that person drama.
But, logic isn’t one of your strong suits. Stick to being an idiot
Oh, so i guess if Obama’s experience with Madrasas means he’s sympathetic to Muslims, then I guess we can conclude Sarah Palin is hostile towards Aisans and Pacific Islanders???
What stupid logic HG uses.
What the hell do libs care about character?
Rev. Wright
Ayers
etc.
etc.,
Where do you get the idea that the statement by her father was taken out of context? There is no proof of that, none. You are just a partisan dip-wad who makes things up.
And yes, you are covering for her. I am merely using the info her father, who has no reason to lie, gave us.
And when did I ever talk about my muscles, that’s Pilgrim. In another thread, you talked about how big your wang was compared to mine. That is adolescent.
(Here is a hint, real men don’t say what real men do or don’t brag about)
So stop bragging about you being called a hero, and your penis size, and your 10,000 viewers.
Do you have a clue how many roads and building in West Virginia are name after KKK Byrd (D) your liberal senator and the oldest and longest serving democrat senator, ever. And a Clan Member. You must be so proud.
Hey! Hey! Hey! No need to insult amoeba here!
Thank you Shilo for your thoughtful and honest reply.
I don’t think you will find many on this site who can understand just how much of a prejudiced statement that was that resembles racism. I am glad us few are not the only ones to recognize it.
While I don’t think Neiman is a racist, I do think his arrogant attitude about Hawaiians is based on ignorance and a lack of experience. It is also precisely the sort of mind set that causes racial tension in the islands.
I think that the only people who have troubles in Hawaii are those who think themselves better than Asians and Pacific Islanders. Maybe that is why Sarah had such a hard time?
And if you think white people have a problem in Hawaii, you’re nuts. They have to deal with an occasional name, some discomfort, but nothing any black person doesn’t have to deal with on a daily basis.
Really, you need to be mature about the issue, you think you know so much about.
Your envy of me is silly.
It was bigger yesterday, more like 20ft. I surfed until the rip destroyed the surf and had to paddle in way down the beach from the original break.
Today it’s blown, I waited too long and only PIPE is breaking. Too many pro’s out.
Triple Crown goin down soon. It’s supposed to be 50ft tomorrow. Hasn’t been that big since 69.
And Sarah herself is implying that she is soo stupid, that she didn’t know Hawaii was going to be so sunny when she moved there….or that there was a desirable beach to contend with???
Nonsense!
The more likely story is the truth, what her father said. How far the apple fell from the tree.
If you look at that quote I provided, you can see the resentment from the caucasian. He really loved Hawai’i, but he is resentful that he was not accepted and was the minority and outsider.
People come here and fall in love with the Islands, and they think it’s just a place they can come and live, and do what ever they want, without caring about the people who live here, or their culture. That is not the case.
You can’t come here and impose your arrogance, or your way of living, that you are accustomed to living on the mainland. You need to be humble, you need to be kind and polite. But most of all, you need to understand Aloha.
Many people don’t get it, they are rude and loud and clueless. They get more frustrated because locals don’t like that mindset, and the outsiders (Haoules, Gaijin, kooks) get some stink eye, or they get told to tone it down and put in their place.
Most people from the mainland can’t stand it coming from people they think they are better than. That’s why you see that guy talk down about Islanders, and he attempts to call them stupid, all while misspelling Filipino.
People who are sent back leave angry, because they lost. They act much like Poofy whose been handed his butt.
Today we all get along. Sure there are exceptions, but those are people you would not want to hang around anyway.
Fact of the matter is, you have to be special to live here and be accepted. It’s really that simple.
LyingSnotNosedPieceofCr@pitized: The remark you spewed through your fecal stained teeth the day before this thread was created, you said I “danced on the graves of veterans”. It was sh*t you made up, and you keep trying to change the subject. I do have a lot of nerve calling lying POS punks like you, Wankertized on all the sh*t they make up. And asking you for an apology, even though I know you will never be man enough to do it. That’s why you’re a POS punk. Now go take your damp, yellow stained “boardies” back to the kiddie pool and maybe no one will ask you how they got that way!
We ask Hannitized for evidence to back up his wild @ss assertions and he gives us surf trivia. His ADD must be getting worse!
BTW, Wanker: Did you tell your HR guy that you’ve invented new lying libels against me since I warned you to knock it off? Or is talking you your HR guy like the time you “reported” me to the police. Only you didn’t. So you say. So were you lying before or lying afterwards?
Oooh! I know Show him the piece on the “Flag of the Obama Nation” and let him read for himself that there was absolutely no basis for you calling me a “racist” for the last eleven months.
I’m sure there will be a new found respect for your abilities to read, comprehend and reason. /sarcasm
In case your ADD doesn’t permit you to remember, it’s here: http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/flag_of_the_obama_nation/
And despite what you have repeated said, Wankertized, it wasn’t “in an election year” either!
Mr. HR guy: For the last eleven months, the lying POS Wanker who works for you has been calling me a “racist” based not on anything I have said, but solely on the basis that people of different races were depicted engaged in entirely different activites. The argument was on the
US Flag Code:
the flags of one group had Obama’s picture on it, the others did not.
The lying POS troll a.k.a. Hannitized was the one to bring race into the discussion. If he ever links to the nearly 10,000 comments he is hiding, you will see that he frequently race baits here.
Here’s the thing, Wankertized: If your boss and your company already know what a whiny, loose lipped, POS you are, how careless you are and all the vile things you spew on the Internet, then there certainly is no “threat” from me republishing what you yourself have posted.
If, on the other hand, your boss and your company don’t know what a whiny, loose lipped, hypocritical POS you are, how careless you are and all the vile things you spew on the Internet, then I can see where you might feel “threatened” by someone willing to quote you correctly!
Or, you can stop lying about me and apologize for the latest lie you made up about me and the “graves of veterans”. But, then, you may well be the Stupidest Person on the Internet!
That is sheer prejudice. Many PEOPLE suffer from laziness…including those in the south and all over the country. What you are trying to describe has to do with culture, how history played a role and racism that prevented Hawaiians from advancing in business, or being allowed to have the jobs to get a head.
Palin moved to Hawaii thinking it wouldn’t be sunny??? Is that your excuse?
PROOFoundlyderanged,
All of your arguments are myths when it comes to defends of cyberstalking and using personal information.
Again. You are not thinking what you are doing and I have given you plenty of warning.
When would you like to do the con call with our HR manager? I am ready, are you? Just give us your personal information and we promise to ensure you are taken care of.
Wankertized is cr@pping his nappies over the fact that his boss might find out what horrible things he has said about our armed forces. I am not “threatening” the company you work for, Wankertized. In fact, they might be quite pleased to know how one of their employees really thinks about what you purport to be one of their biggest customers! What they do with that knowledge is strictly up to them!
Why is telling the truth about what you said a “threat” Hanni? Is that why you will not claim the nearly 10,000 comments you made in the last two years, and why you seldom sign in today, because you were guilty of typing while stupid?
Again, after the cr@p you pulled and all the lies you have stated, you really are in no position to ask for anything, except forgiveness.
Just stop, Proofoundlystupid. You look deranged and obsessed. You took it too far when you contacted my friend and you are taking it too seriously now. The power is all in your hands. Just. Stop.
In case anyone is wondering, “Hawaii” is yet another alias (sockpuppet?) of Hanni, a.k.a. Hann, a.k.a. Hannitized, a.k.a. “Livealoha1999″, a.k.a. Willi Vanilli, a.k.a. Wankertized, a.k.a. The Kahuna of the Kiddie Pool.
You know, Wanker, if you would just sign into your account, you could stick with one name!
Most of us could care less where obama went to school. It was more about his associations and sympathy for muslims that some were concerned with.
Kenny the drooling baboon says:
1. No native Hawaiian has suffered anything.
That is astonishingly ignorant. I don’t even know what to say to that, other than….well….you really are an arrogant pr1ck.
Then you say i am using past wrongs, admitting that Native Hawaiians suffered. Which goes to show, you can’t make a coherent argument, or that you think what happened to them was OK.
What a racist. Strike one.
2. Kill Haoule Day, is not a racial slur. And they don’t actually kill houles, white people actually kill n1ggers. So, killing black people because they are black is actually a lot worse. Not that you are capable of being honest.
Strike two.
3. White people denied Asians voting rights. You see that little part of “The Monarchy was stripped of its authority???? Nice try to blame it on Hispanics, who weren’t even there, moron.
Strike three.
You have no shame in your lies, and you cover up all wrongs committed by whites and cry about a few names that aren’t even derogatory names. I provided the definition of Haoule, it is not “derogatory”. That word is too difficult for you, apparently.
In short, you are a complete idiot Kenny. The fact that you can say this sh@t with a straight face and believe it, explains why you are 3rd rate. We earn our worth in this country.
By the way, Rob is also legally responsible for your actions. He has been informed of your threats and he has no excuse to continue to permit you to threaten people.
You need to stop and start being a normal, healthy thinking human. Can you manage that?
Quit, run and lie about it? Sounds like you on most threads where you get your arse handed to you, Wankertized! (Which are most, if not all of them!)
PROOFoundlyderanged,
If you think my company is going to do something to me for something you have to say, you got another thing comin, bud. I have warned you about what they would do if you threaten to impact their business by somehow imagining you are hurting me when you threaten to slander. It’s your ass, not mine.
I have tried to do the responsible thing and warn you, but if you think you have something to prove, you are going to be surprised.
Do you really think some little internet weenie is going get in the way of our Ohana? The president is my friend, jack-a. This isn’t some mainland kooky company that operates like a PC’d IBM. We are real people, who take care of their own.
Tell you what. You give me your number and I will set up a 3-way conference call with the HR director. Sound good?
When it comes to personally slandering me, that is a separate issue. I will take the responsibility to deal with that myself. If you want to keep pushing this with me, personally, outside of my company, I am prepared to manage this and take appropriate action (define that however you see fit).
Again, I have been patient with you. You should be more aware of the reality.
PROOFoundlystupid,
It was an accident when I put Hawaii in the name…i was online playing an online game and wasn’t paying attention. Don’t be such a douche…..well….not that you can control that.
You are such a mindless twit, Wankertized! I am not “threatening” you. I have cautioned you as to the consequences of your idiocy from time to time, but I’m not sure how repeating what you’ve already posted on this blog is a “threat”? Is “threat” yet another English word that you are unfamiliar with? Are you so sorry you posted that link that you want to blame someone else for the consequences of your typing while stupid?
As to Rob being “legally responsible for my actions” when did the adoption papers go through? Heh.
Besides, brainless twit, I would not use his forum to publish the links where you outed yourself. I have a blog of my own, visited by folks from 100 different countries and all fifty states, (that would include Hawaii, Tiki Twerp!). I told you I was working on a series: “Stupidest Person on the Internet”. I put it away for a while, but you, know…one should write about those things one is passionate about. Every time you libel me through your fecal stained teeth, I become more passionate!
I hardly think Rob can be considered “legally responsible” for what I choose to publish on my own blog.
You need to stop and start being a normal, healthy thinking human and stop lying through your fecal stained teeth. Do you think you can manage that? And an apology would be nice, too!
Here goes: I’m sorry I ever thought you were anything other than a mealy mouthed, lying POS, Wankertized. Act like a man, or don’t you do impersonations?
WHFF,
Now I know why you never debate. Because you look like a complete idiot when you do.
So by YOUR standard, you can never understand why Black people call you racist. Because you are white, therefore, that’s why you don’t see the things they call racism, racism…..right?
You idiot. Only you could come up with something that Neanderthal.
HAHAHA.
No apologies necessary. Let the leftist kooks have fun with this. It’s another feeble attempt at character assassination. Nothing more. And who really cares anyways. 18 and walked into a culture shock… big fricken deal.
The Klan had that section of the highway a decade before Missouri got around to renaming it.
No doubt opposed by conservatives.
And it wasn’t the only fight with racists over the adopt-a-highway program:
In Missouri, a Fight Over a Highway Adoption
Seems the Show-Me state has a little problem with out and proud right wing racist groups.
I did find the members of the separatist group near Waianae, but they, as well as the opposing group were cordial to each other as they presented their views at a meeting.
What is typical of the liberals is quoting out of context or creating a lie in itself to satisfy their self-fulfilling prophecy.
Hanni despises people who aren’t PC, and aren’t leftist.
From what you’ve written, and the quiet confident conviction evident behind your comments, expect a lot of hate from him.
“Hawaii was a little too perfect,†Palin writes. “Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.â€
In other words, it’s too damn nice to be in class, I’d rather be outside enjoying the weather or hitting the beach for a party. Typical 18 yr old person.
It’s just like going to college in Bozeman, MT. If you wake up and it’s a bluebird powder day who the hell is going to class? Break out the skis or boards and rip up Bridger bowl or Big sky.
It ain’t that hard to understand what she was getting at. Got nothing to do with “race”, my liberal adversaries.
Hanni no one cares what you went through, or what you are.
I would say without equivocation that it is wrong for white kids to beat up a black, and that it is wrong for black kids to beat up a white.
You say it’s bad for whites to hite minorities, but it’s ok for Hawaiians to attack Haolues, because a long time before any of their great grandparents were born, stuff happened. Stuff that you don’t even understand. So it’s understandable.
Grow up little boy.
Yawn, false assumptions:
1. No native Hawaiian has suffered anything. So you’re using past wrongs to justify present wrongs. Strike one.
2. Apparently some racial slurs are worse than others. Kill Haoul day is worse than anything blacks suffer across the country. There is no “kill n!gger” day or “kill slant eye” day” or anything else. Strike two.
3. White people, mixed with Hawaiians and Europeans (see Hispanics) denied another group voting rights. Somehow this is all the fault of white people, and not the other groups, and TOTALLY justifies racism against whites today.
You’re a moron and a racist Hanni. And while I may be some third rate DJ rain man here, you’re light years behind me in intelligence. You’re like Timmy from South Park.
“Haole rot” is a racist nickname for tinea versicolor, genius. That was the whole point.
So, based on your comment, am I correct in guessing you think these sort of references are a-okay? Past racism justifies present racism?
It takes unmitigated gall to claim one is stalking you, when you give such personal details. It takes even more gall to claim that you deserve privacy after posting your most intimate details on line.
What a fool.
Would those be evil white people? Cause lord know all white people are racist right?
Is it really such a big deal that they named a fungal infection “haole rot”?
Hmm… I wonder what would happen if a white person used the word “niggardly” which is a perfectly serviceable and acceptable word describing someone who is stingy and – although it sounds like a racist word – has entirely different origins and meaning. Oh, yes, I remember – David Howard lost his job over it. Just last week that nitwit Joy Behar wondered if the term for the popular shopping day after Thanksgiving was racist. Our universities are chock full of ridiculous speech codes restricting speech that might be perceived as offensive or racist. What’s racism for the goose is racism for the gander.
Further: you apparently accept racism against one group and criticize it against others. That makes you a hypocrite. And I had a good laugh about your white girlfriend – that just smacked of “some of my best friends are [black, Jewish, insert minority here].” Absolutely priceless. And you have a black friend, too! Good for you. You say that in order to qualify as racist, something has to prevent someone from experiencing happiness? Gee, that’s a great standard. I’m unhappy that you insist on calling whites “haoles.” Racist!!
But on the topic of racism against whites – it certainly does exist, in Hawaii and every other state. My daughter was viciously abused by her racist classmates when she was the only white kid in her class. Those firemen who had to fight for equality at work all the way to SCOTUS experienced racism. And white kids in Hawaiian public schools who are called names based on skin color and beaten on the last day of school are also victims of racism. Just because these things happen less often (and that’s because of demographics, not any moral superiority) to white folk doesn’t mean they are less offensive or hurtful than when they happen to people of color.
As to your apparent belief that I need a course on Hawaiian history in order to recognize racism today, that’s beyond foolish. But if it makes you feel better, yes, I’m aware of Hawaiian history. My sister in law is from Hawaii. Hawaiian history does not justify racism today.
We all deal with racism, the difference is that we can handle it.”
Please.
I worked on Standing Rock Indian reservation in the early 90’s. I’ve never came across a bigger bunch of racist’s than that. Believe me Hanni, after listening to their anti-white sh!t for 2 years, YOU can’t handle it.
I’m so sick and tired of minorities bitching about racism I could gag! Minorities use racism to get things they want from people who won’t stand up to their phony accusations. The “white racist” BS don’t fly with me my friend.
I truly am color blind until I hear someone cry “RACISM” when it isn’t happening and I see it happen WAY too often in this country.
What’s the good way to be uncomfortable around Asians? Or any person of color?
“Yea, it’s not you per se…it’s just…you’re sooo asian”
That’s not racism? Ok, whatever.
The Klan was given that section of 55 in 1994. I was there. When did they name it for Rosa? Ten years later?
Hell, they named a piece of I-70 for that steroid-loaded, non-St. Louisan Mark McGwire faster than that! Always a smooth move naming a highway for a cheat.
I also know that that part of St. Louis the KKK-55 goes through is a hotbed of racism. The South Side.
I was all too right.
You are hateful. And you’re completely excusing racism while hyping non-existant racism.
Some guy posts how he was attacked as a kid as part of a 50 year annual tradition. And you’re like “meh, stupid white people.”
Must suck to be less intelligent than some random third rate DJ from a racist state.
No worries, brah.
You and Proof and the others more than compensate for the odd racist. I just registered, so I’ll be dropping by more often.
Rob.
Why do you say the reporter suggests she left for racism-related reasons when its her father who suggests that? The reporter merely reports what her father said.
Hell I’m sympathetic to Muslims in general. It’s the Muslims who want to convert people at the point of a (figurative) sword that I’m not sympathetic to.
I’ve always thought the “Obama’s a Muslim” stuff was stupid.
But as for Palin, you’ve no proof that she doesn’t like Asian people outside of some confusing comment made by her father that’s been taken out of context.
At the beginning of this you accused me of giving Sarah the benefit of the doubt because i like her. But here you are demonizing her because you hate her.
Why is that ok? Other than you’re a dishonest idiot who calls people arrogant even as you brag about your muscles and the number of women you’ve bedded?
(Here’s a hint: real men don’t have to brag about those things)
BWa ha ha ha.
Nice backandforth.
Sarah Palin remains a racist in her father’s eyes.
As an Alaskan, I can vouch for the sun sensitivity thing. When you come from a place where sometimes the sun doesn’t come up for a week or so at a time, moving to a more equatorial locale is no doubt shocking.
I was born in Alaska. Moving even as far south as North Dakota was a bit of an adjustment.
But regardless, you say that I’m just making the best possible interpretation here because I like Palin. And maybe that’s true, but does that excuse you making the worst possible interpretation based on nothing other than a comment so convoluted as to be meaningless without context?
Which, of course, isn’t provided.
My family knows Mr. Heath. He was my sister’s track coach. They’re not racists.
But I’m sure you’ll carry on with whatever interpretation is most convenient for you.
You’re right, of course. Sorry about that.
Silly Laura.
Only white people can be racist. Don’t you know that?
Incidentally, that Slublog post you linked proves my point, not yours.
Here is an example of the attitudes from whites, who have lived in Hawaii.
Wow, I’m surprised you didn’t call it “sass” or refer to Slu as “boy.” He described his personal experience of having been assaulted at school in Hawaii, and you call it “attitude from whites.”
Classy, indeed.
I have said over and over that I don’t approve of any level of racism. I simply said you are being a baby about a few names such as “haoule” and “haoule rot”.
Actually, I’m not angry at all – just pointing out that regardless of what you say you approve, you are in fact a racist and hypocrite. Add “liar” to the list now as well, unless you disapprove of your own comments here on this blog.
As to the specifics of how black folk and other minorities suffered from racism in decades past, do explain how that is relevant to how racism is practiced TODAY.
Proof – Thanks! I’ve subscribed in my RSS reader for a long time but rarely drop by to comment. I’ll try to do so more often; this is one of my favorite blogs. I should know better than to feed trolls, but once in a while I succumb to this mentality.
Yes, Missouri. That hotbed of racism.
Eye roll.
Yea that totally represents Missouri. Which is why when the Klan took over a section of the highway, we renamed THEIR section “The Rosa Parks Freeway” as a f you.
Quit slandering my state you dumb schmuck.
SARAH PALIN IS A RACIST ACCORDING TO HER FATHER.
By the way, I don’t want to hear any whining about people characterizing Hawaiians in any particular way after some of the things you’ve said about folks from places like North Dakota.
Sarah Palin is the racist here. My bad. I thought it was Neiman with his ethnic stereotypes n such.
Palin must have been happy she didn’t have to shake hands with many non-whites in her adventurous trip across the country having her picture taken with people for money, Huh?
You’re still going? You need to look like an idiot again at my hands? Ok.
So answer me then? Where are all the Hawaiians who have suffered from that event over a hundred years ago? All dead? Oh ok. Well, I understand then. Since there are no Hawaiians who have suffered from it, that ruins your excuse.
And “Kill Hauole day” is ok because we don’t kill Hauoles, we just attack and injure them. For being Hauoles. No, that’s textbook racism thanks.
And finally, the HAWAIIANS cooperated in removing ASIAN voting rights. And EUROPEANS (which I’m pretty sure included Spaniards, aka Hispanics, but I admit I might be mistaken…which means I’m wrong, not a liar).
Again, Hanni. I’m smarter than you. Which, to me or anyone else, doesn’t mean anything. Most people are smarter than retards. But it does mean EVERY insult you level against me reflects on you. If I’m a third rate DJ moron, that puts you somewhere around 8th rate paint chip eating nobody. Which is not that far off.
My cousin lives in Hawaii, moron. And the implication here isn’t that Palin couldn’t deal with Hawaii’s laid back lifestyle. The implication is that she left because she doesn’t like brown people.
As for arrogant asses not living in Hawaii, why don’t you tell us how big your muscles are again Mr. self-described “playah.”
For anyone who’d like to see the actual history of the change of power in Hawaii, it’s here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hawaii#Elected_Monarchy
And it’s nothing like the white on Hawaiian massacre some of us here are pretending. There were no shortage of Native Hawaiians who helped overthrow Kalakaua, including Queen Lili’oukalani who had a hand in the rebellions. When the “Bayonette Constitution” was signed, it didn’t take away Hawaiian’s right to vote, but limited it to a wealthy class of citizens, which included no shortage of native Hawaiians.
And Grover Clevland opposed the initial efforts to annex Hawaii.
But that’s not as fun as the “white men stole our land” liberal myth. So we’ll ignore the facts…k?
Apparently an entire culture that hates foreigners. As the dude in the link says.
But it’s all good. Whatever it is Hanni. Keep up with your double standards.
Does she really need a reason to quit anything?
She really does it well
Right, you ignorant doofus, Palin’s father had no motive at all to refrain from implying that his daughter is a racist.
Not that i think he did. I think this is yet another unfair, baseless Palin smear concocted by the liberals who are oh-so-afraid of her.
Really, you need to be mature about the issue, you think you know so much about.
Really, you need to take a course in reading comprehension. Because in my original comment, I wrote:
For the record: I don’t think there’s more racism in Hawaii than anywhere else. But if you’re a white person from a state as white as Alaska, it’s bound to be disconcerting to have it directed at you. If it happened. Pure speculation, obviously.
Do you actually believe that only white racism has hurt people’s lives? That’s a really idiotic thing to believe. Some firefighters just had to go all the way to the Supreme Court over it, if you’d like a tangible example.
As you said, racism is a two way street. The difference is, you’re trying to justify/minimize it and I’m not.
Moreover, the change from high school to college is massive. You go from having about 40 hours of school a week to 12. And when you go from Alaska to Hawaii, that’s a big distraction mixed with the massive amount of free time.
Of course it’s easy to understand how she got overwhelmed. Happens to lots of college students.
I forgot to add something in my comment.
I’m a huge supporter of Palin, but when 40 somethings like her wear trendy hats that 20 year olds wear to try and be hip, it makes them look foolish. IMHO.
I’d say mid 30’s are the end game to try and stay on par with the young hipsters. I’m not saying once you hit 36 break out the flannel shirt and velcro tennis shoes. Just don’t pretend to be lady Gaga or Ashton kutcher with your wardrobe.
Italians are oily and the always f**k with the girl on top.
Your link shows a ONE YEAR takeover of the road. Hmmm.
There was a similar fight in St. Louis too.
But hey, keep being wrong Dino.
BTW, Palin is yesterday’s news… still.
Nope.

They APPLIED in 1994, and were rejected. They finally won a 6 year court battle in 2000 to get the highway. It was immediately named the Rosa Parks highway. Less than 6 months later, the city found a way to drop the Klan from the program.
6 months is 9 and a half years shy of 10 years. And 1994 is 6 years before they got the highway.
Just like your last link, you’re dramatically distorting the facts, which don’t fit your worldview. We don’t much care for the Klan…well outside of Eugene that is.
And the south side of I-55 is primarily black. If it’s such a hot bed of racism, it’s anti-white racism.
Maybe she was uncomfortable because of Kill a Haole Day or “haole rot” or the like and her father knows that if he cites any personal experiences she may have had, it will get blown into a major issue. From this 1999 article:
School Superintendent Paul LeMahieu said he is aware of “kill haole day” but is not aware of any recent incidents. He added that he hopes the practice of beating up Caucasian students on the last day of school is a thing of the past.
Gee, I hope so too. Plenty of other links, and more recent ones, citing anecdotes about racism in Hawaii, for whatever that’s worth, when you google haole and racism and similar keywords. For the record: I don’t think there’s more racism in Hawaii than anywhere else. But if you’re a white person from a state as white as Alaska, it’s bound to be disconcerting to have it directed at you. If it happened. Pure speculation, obviously.
Hell, if we’re gonna judge an entire state by such stupid evidence…clearly Hawaii is a racist hotbed:
http://www.starbulletin.com/news/hawaiinews/20081025_Racism_and_prejudice_linger_in_Hawaii_says_chief_justice.html
Of course, that is actually MORE damning evidence than some pathetic racist group centered in Eugene, Missouri (some little podunck town with 200 people) that has 5 members. But if the KKK in Eugene is enough to make my state racist, then Hawaii is clearly a cesspoll.
Or we could admit there’s racist people everywhere, and shame on you for slandering 6 million people because of 6 hillbillies.
Neiman
remains a racist, bigot, hypocrite.
