Dr. Larry Price, Ph..kin' D..k head

"I can't believe you haven't been all over this Larry Price thing", said my friend Liz. I'd been known to opine long before I had to start scratching the blog itch. Some local jock had insulted a politician on the air, questioned his right to use words like "honestly" and "frankly", not because of politics or ideology but because he was blue- eyed, mainland-born and raised. Personally I had not heard what sounded like someone trying to cash in on Imus. To Listen to the interview click link below

Let's retrace our steps a bit. The year, 1994. I perused the dial. The NPR affiliate had no local origination worth listening to except Randy Roth's "Price Of Paradise". The university station was a sandbox with an antenna sticking out. Meanwhile free-form "Radio Free Hawaii" was in litigation and in the news. Instant recall did great in average-per-quarter-hour-listening indicators. Everybody claimed to listen but nobody did. Not surprisingly, advertisers bailed. It went off the air. At the other end of the spectrum, "Perry And Price" on KSSK was market's #1, Perry, pompous, sounding like a middle aged teenage ass; Price, slushy lisp'd, contrived localisms, unable to put a sentence together. Holy Guglielmo Marconi! this was THE morning team not just in metro Honolulu but the whole fricking state!!! God help us, I thought as I slammed "Sticky Fingers" into the car tape deck, already missing Howard more than I had imagined I would.

All this, to make the point: I never was, not now nor could I ever be a Perry and Price listener so I thought I'd extend the benefit of doubt until after I'd heard the interview. Having been in front of a mic, I knew a thing or two about slip ups when the damned toothpaste won't go back in the tube.

One of my favorite talk radio hosts, Andrew Krystal in Halifax, Canada http://www.news957.com/station/bios.jsp turns provocative one-liners into an art form, playing devil's advocate for argument's sake. I figured Price had done just that and listeners didn't get it. I was wrong.

Larry price came up again recently in conversation. "You know what, it's the damnedest thing," I said, "but I never heard that interview" changing the subject. But I wasn't to be left off the hook that easily. The link to the infamous exchange was in my e-mail box the next morning.

There's food for some serious thought here. It's not about some old jerk spitting into a microphone. It's the pernicious mentality he peddled that day. Price, PhD is a high-profile member of the community with access to airwaves and press. He lashed out on behalf of locals who view themselves in divisive terms and helped perpetuate a dangerous way of viewing others as a way of life. He's just too much of a Ph..kin' D..k head to see it.

"to us...when people from the mainland say things like honestly..and frankly... there's something wrong."

Kiss my mainland haole blue-eyed ass, Doctor Price. "Honestly" and "frankly", go Ph.ck yourself.

HAUNANI APOLIONA. HOLY MACKEREL, THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!!!!

Haunani Apoliona, Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs has spoken. And by Gosh when she says that "the majority has spoken: Hawaiians deserve self-determination" (Honolulu Star Bulletin, Sunday 9/12/'7) you better believe I damned well listen.

Except for that stuff again about that Grass Root Institute Of Hawaii. If it didn't already exist, we'd have to make one up. Quite frankly, I don't know what Haunani is on about with all those "push-polls" she says the Institute has been force feeding the public. I, for one have never been polled by them. In fact, in nearly 15 years of continued residence in Hawaii, I have never, ever, ever been polled on one single native Hawaiian issue. I was not one of the 380 polled by Ward Research, a scientific poll this one conducted on behalf of OHA, not like one of those "push-polls" she mentions (twice) in her editorial. Nor will I be, sadly, among those weighing in on that "democratic process" she speaks of. Haunani should know about democracy given the Voltairian respect she holds for dissenting views.

As a high profile spokeswoman for the Hawaiian community, she should really get past name calling and attempts to infantilize the public. No Ms Apoliona, the Akaka bill isn't some Matignon Accord or preamble to the decolonization of Hawaii; just ask the pro-independence, anti-Akaka bill activists in the Hawaiian community. No, the public isn't shaking in its slippas at the thought of gambling in Hawaii. No, those who oppose, criticize the Akaka bill or just question its validity are not Hawaiian haters intent on depriving them of their civil rights as implied by the two geniuses Kaohano and Galuteria on your OHA radio show a few weeks ago (Gee Whiz, speak of barrage!)

So how about not taking people for idiots and how about we quit calling them "big liars", "propagandists" and "fear mongers of misinformation"(?)

The mention of Civil Rights brings to mind the historical 1988 vice presidential debate between Lloyd Bentsen and incumbent Dan Quayle.

I remember the Civil Rights movement. I remember the issues around the Civil Rights movement. I remember the people in the Civil Rights movement and most of all, I remember their eloquence.

Ms Apoliona, THIS is no Civil Rights Movement.

RACISM HAWAIIAN-STYLE. IS THE AKAKA BILL DEBATE ATTEMPTING TO REDEFINE CIVIL RIGHTS?

"...nothing justifies racism in the Pacific. Not the islands' colonial history, not globalism, even less the radicalizing of culture..."

Emma Algan, Vice-President, Rautahi party, Papeete-Tahiti, French Polynesia. July 2007





CIVIL RIGHTS 101






Why won't the State advisory panel on civil rights focus on Civil Rights? What's the obsession with the Akaka bill?. Follow the dough. whoever controls resources dictates the cost of doing business. Talking about real Civil Rights issues like racism in "paradise" is more than a blot on the landscape. It's bad for business. Who needs Haunani-Kay Trask on the front page of USA Today?

Ever since it began with the new appointments to the Advisory Panel, the so-called debate on Civil Rights has been about whether some real estate project can happen with lands in Hawaiian hands and whether Hawaiians can have their cake and eat it too, a private club funded with public money .

Entitlement, appropriation? yes. Civil Rights? no.

No Taxation Without Representation is a sacred principle. Tax payers should protest racially exclusionary programs. They should voice gripes with the same over-the-top grandiloquence Hawaiian activists voice theirs. God help us if it ever comes to that. The business community is entitled to doing business. but that's different from CIVIL Rights. Concerns with the Akaka bill are real and justified. It's the shape of bad things to come if the leadership in the new tribe is anything like that in the Sovereignty movement. And it will be, let there be no doubt.
But when children are bullied, teachers brutalized, visiting friends murdered for looking at some guy the "wrong way", it's time to reshuffle the deck. Hawaii does not recognize hate crime if the victim is white. Under aged offenders go to family court while adults plea bargain their way around federal hate crime laws. Whether the Akaka bill passes or not, and unless racism is recognized as clear and present danger ...it will become more pervasive and at times deadly. That is the job of the state advisory panel to the US commission on Civil Rights, to deter hate crime despite the myopic incompetence of this governor, the posturing of this Attorney General and a Department of Education consumed by decorum and self preservation.

Hatred of Caucasians is an institution, Racism, payback for colonialism, the militarization of the islands, globalization, expressed in the public square unchecked. Because Unlike victims' Civil Rights, racial rhetoric, preamble to violence, is protected. Not just under the 1st amendment. but through unspoken rules, obscure island tradition, cronyism, pandering media. but most of all , a public politically correct and hopelessly polarized. Caucasians don't report racial abuse for fear of ridicule. The devil's triumph was convincing the world he didn't exist. In Hawaii racism doesn't exist. Since the Massie case, we've been painting smiley faces on the gargoyle. Calling racism by any other name is a crime.
A "real" Civil Rights issue came up in February 2007 . practically a memory now. Not just another case of selective amnesia but because in Hawaii, Civil Rights are not created equal .
When a young couple was beaten in front of their child to the sound of " fuckin' haole", the city prosecutor dilly-dallied over the definition of hate. What was a hateful crime with racial overtones was not to qualify as hate crime. A man knocked a woman half his size and age unconscious, kicked her husband repeatedly in the head when he'd already passed out, causing both concussions and facial fractures in front of their 3 year old child but in the "aloha state" that ain't hate. The racial epithet? irrelevant said prosecutors. A fender bender caused the rage, not race. Why bother with a defense with a prosecution like that?. The most disturbing aspect of the case? There were no demonstrations, no " haoles for justice", no kids draped in flags for the cameras. From the Hawaiian community, no compassion for the couple or their little child. University of Hawaii professor Jon Okamura told the September 14 issue of the Honolulu Advertiser the whole thing could have been averted with more "programs" for native Hawaiians. Days following the beatings, Sovereignty activist Daviana McGregor told Honolulu TV news those who wanted the assault prosecuted as hate crime were themselves guilty of racism. Echoes of the Gabriel Kealoha case all over again. The press even hinting at overcrowding as an excuse for the beatings, the "haolification" of the 'aina.
the circumstances in the murder of Christopher Reuthers two months later on April 22 fit the M.O.: haole in the wrong place, crossing paths with the wrong "local". He did not have permission to take pictures at a luau with the local guy in the shot. and for that he died. It happens, in broad day light. to people on their way to work, the store or the beach. to defenseless tourists. Mostly unreported or dropped at the "suggestion" of police or private security personnel, and when reported, the perpetrators ending up in juvie or plea bargaining.

Following a 2005 attack on tourists on the big island of Hawaii, Henry "puka" Bell skirted the mandatory 20 year sentence under the state's hate crime law by pleading guilty to lesser charges.

In 1998, a Kamehameha school grad who had killed a police officer allegedly in self-denfense went to family court...at 19! so he could enroll at the University of Hawaii in time.

Honolulu prosecuting attorney Peter Carlisle was publicly stoned and branded a racist by Kealoha's parents and the Hawaiian community for wanting him

tried as an adult. There were no expressions of sympathy for the police officer or his family, editorialist David Shapiro commenting at the time, the public only too eager to believe tales of a rogue haole cop chasing down Hawaiians. In typical "Haole Go Home" fashion, Hawaiian pundits said it was the case to end Carlisle's career and send him paddling "home back" to New Jersey. What the public will believe and accept in Hawaii is infuriating and criminally stupid.

Why criminal? because of the message it sends to haters, would-be rapists and murderers. Because it tells hate-criminals that non-locals and particularly haole's are fair game and they can get away with murder.

In August 2007 the Kona newspaper Hawaii Today, http://www.westhawaiitoday.com/articles/2007/08/01/local/local02.txt

published a story about routine and flagrant Civil Rights violation in the school system.

8 year-old school girls beaten to the sound of "haole bitches and whores", the offenders suspended for a token 24 hours, parents leaving jobs, homes and self-respect behind because of the inertia of State and Department of Education officials and non-existing Civil Rights enforcement.

CIVIL RIGHTS in Hawaii as elsewhere is about citizens being allowed to go about their lives without fear for their lives. It's about their children's Right to learn and play without being told each day they don't belong because of their skin color or as one kid warned another, "my dad says you folks bettah leave...or else". It's about tax-paying citizens' Right to dissent without fear of intimidation. Those are Civil Rights.

Also included in the list of Civil Rights is health care for those who need it the most and can afford it the least. It appears that many if not most who support the efforts of this Advisory Panel On Civil Rights are radically opposed to health care reforms even those affecting children of low income families. Those need to re-consider their stance on Civil Rights

The Akaka bill debate is redefining Civil Rights in Hawaii by diverting public attention away from universally recognized Civil Rights issues. This panel would not know Civil Rights if it bit them on the ass. Nor for that matter would the Hawaiian activists who parade their kids at every one of those so-called public hearings on Civil Rights. So let's leave this panel to talk about the Akaka bill and all the bad stuff it's going to do for business if it passes and appoint a real panel with members who will tackle Civil Rights even if at the cost of a temporary blot on the landscape. We can handle the blot. I don't think we're ready for what's coming if we can't contain racism Hawaii-style, Akaka bill or not.

DEBUNKING "MEMORANDUM-46" CASEY LARTIGUE ON THE JP MUNTAL HONOLULU RADIO SHOW

Don't go debunking myths people want to believe. That's what one of the brightest radio personalities in America learned the hard way. Casey Lartigue, formerly with the Cato Institute, now an independent education consultant and side-kick Eliot Morgan just got booted off their XM radio show in Washington D.C. over the controversial so-called "Memorandum 46" theory. Allegedly signed by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, the document outlines a conspiracy begun during the Carter administration to cause havoc within the African American community in the U.S. and chaos in Africa. Brzezinski has denied the allegations pointing out his name at the bottom of "memorandum 46" isn't even spelled right. But despite a long list of clues that clearly spell out F.A.K.E. the urban legend has caught on among African Americans who came out swinging at two of their own. A heated controversy began on the air, continued off and ended in the abrupt cancellation of the popular show. Is this a case of the power of myth in a way Joseph Campbell couldn't have imagined, or something more sinister? Can people be made to believe anything if it reinforces belief: an alliance between AlQaeda and Iraq, a Jewish conspiracy behind 9-11 or a white plot to blow up levees in New Orleans? In Hawaii, can the privileged minority pulling the strings of the sovereignty movement use "memorandum 46" tactics to keep the lower classes in a permanent state of discontent for political ends? Who are the puppet masters?
