Yankee took too much Hawai'i.

People in the USA actively participate in theft & genocide as they denigrate First Nation people. It's systematic aggression more sinister than name-calling.
Justifiably or not, (I think not), the USA took extensive lands & properties from the native nations, and sought to exterminate the native communities.
The official label of "savages" was used to dehumanize. Children are taught America was discovered in 1492. Deceived people were forced to accept false treaties, then repeatedly forced to ineffectively defend themselves; now they are coldly mocked.
Genocide is difficult to justify, and natives remain a vague menace; subsequent generations are taught to uncritically accept the homicidal demise and forced displacement of native communities as a fait accompli.
Full reparations & proper punishments are impossible, but very substantial compensation is achievable & vital.
Each of the 458 athletes on the 1980 US Summer Olympic team got medals as boycotting team members.
But they weren't entered for competition, skipped the Games, and didn't take the Athlete's Oath, so they are not Olympians according to the global Olympic movement & IOC.
Dozens of other nations followed US President Jimmy Carter with his Olympic Boycott. Thousands of athletes were forbidden from entering competition. So sad!
Enjoying Tokyo's excellent Olympics 2020? Don't forget the 1980 Summer Olympic boycott.
Did Uncle Sam teach Hawaiians self-government?
No More Yankee Disrespect!
Please end military occupation of Hawai'i.

Can the US Feds designate Proud Boys TERRORISTS? (Canada did it Feb 3)
Boiz & Oathkeepers imprisoned for Jan 6 may perceive they've been suckered, as Orange & DonJr still now eat lobster.
Violence then likely from paramilitary "tourists" at Mar-a-Lago, Trump Hotels, Giuliani's house, etc.
🎌 Japan's only men's Olympic Marathon Champion is Korean: Sohn Kee-chung
(손기정 / 孫基禎) won gold when Korea was occupied by Imperial Japan. 🇯🇵
🇺🇸 America's only women's Olympic Surfing Champion is Hawaiian: Carissa Kainani Moore won gold during the US occupation of Hawai'i. 😢
On 3 Feb 2021 The Government of Canada designated the Proud Boys on their Criminal Code list as a terrorist entity, an "ideologically motivated violent extremist group."
"When an entity is placed on the list, banks and financial institutions freeze its assets. It is a crime to knowingly deal with the assets of a listed entity. Listings also help obstruct assistance from sympathizers and supporters in Canada by criminalizing certain support activities, including those related to terrorist travel, training and recruitment."
Clearly the USA should have done this also, but the far-right group is protected by influential Americans, MAGA toads, and destabilizing interests overseas. Violent paramilitary extremists such as neo-fascist Proud Boys and Oathkeepers must be exposed, rooted-out, and not allowed to function or fundraise anywhere.
Reference:
"The Last Flight" is a documentary showing how Japanese Government & corporate forces punished Nissan's Carlos Ghosn & Greg Kelly, and how Ghosn escaped Japan.
Corporate finance gaps are almost always settled inside top firms. Japanese executives are never so harshly punished even when huge crimes deceive, injure & kill.
Bad treatment of foreigners!
My friend Waseda Prof Masataka Ota 太田正孝先生 would have had useful comments - he knew Carlos Ghosn and published extensively about him, but Masa tragically died 52 days before Ghosn's arrest. 😢
January 6th lives in infamy : Violent forces attacked the US Capitol to stop our nation replacing Trump®. The instigators, typical of yellowbelly top brass, were far from front line struggles.
America
built the Marine Corps Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course on stolen Native
Hawaiian land. But more insulting to local feeling, they deliberately desecrate the spot by playing golf on family graves. The US Military knows the 3000-acre
Mokapu peninsula is historically special - "Mokapu" means "Sacred
island" ...
Don't you believe it's wrong Hawaiian ancestral

Most Americans know little or nothing about the destroyed civilizations they've parked themselves upon. Ugly Genocide of Native America.
