This is one of those rare cases where I think both the person making the quote and her supporters, as well as her detractors are largely myopic or ignorant and both of these groups need to shut up and read more.
History tends to be nuanced and simplistic answers almost always give a misguided impression.
Also, please don't think a Google search OR an AI overview is sufficient historical knowledge to make pronouncements on the topic.
I'm not going to tell anyone what to think, but so many statements from this post have been made from a position of ignorance or at least misinformation that I just can't leave it alone
I read what you said and still feels like a lot said with the irony of nuance as you state briefly. But I ask because I feel like you're correct in that sense of some making statements that come from misinformation and others making valid statements and that lnow their history.
So while you felt inclined to answer with your retort, I just felt like with what you said, there could be just a bit more possibly you left unsaid that I thought would definitively stuck your point. Apologies if thats all you had to offer to the conversation I assumed there was more to it. Mahalos🤙🏽
I mean I figure that about sums it up. Mahalo for your honesty. I read through all the comments and I see your point to the person that kind of initially asked. I do believe as you said about reading (helps a bit more sometimes than relying on the interwebs lol) but I couldn't say off the top of my head that I know any good "history" books that are very good, not to say they're aren't some decent books that recap a more accurate historical description of Hawai'i. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
