When Christopher Kunzelman’s wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he asked her where she wanted to spend the last days of her life.
She chose Maui.
Kunzelman came from Scottsboro, Arizona, bought a house and prepared to move his family in, but he soon learned that he did not belong there. Locals warned him “this is a Hawaiian village. The only thing coming from the outside is the electricity,” and “you don’t even belong in Hawaii.”
While he was moving in the furniture, two men showed up. They told him, “You seem like a nice guy, but you’re the wrong color for this place.” When he didn’t get the message, one of the men told him, “your skin is the wrong f****** color.” and hit him on the back of the head with a shovel.
The Polynesian islanders beat him with the shovel, punched him, and kicked him in the ribs while he lay unconscious. They told him, “No white man is ever going to live here.”
Kunzelman regained consciousness and made his escape while the two men were discussing how to kill him and his uncle. But when he made it to the hospital, the police refused to do anything even though he had severe injuries and had recorded part of the incident on video.
Meanwhile one of the attackers went out and assaulted another white man.
The Maui attackers had told Kunzelman, “We’re the law, we’re the police, the police have our backs, we’re the ones who make the laws, we’re the ones who enforce the laws, we’re the judge in Kahakuloa, and we’re the ones who decide if you live or die.”
And it seemed they were right. The Kunzelmans were never able to sell the house because it wasn’t safe to live there.
When the men were finally arrested, they got off with probation while Kunzelman lost vision in one eye. That was in 2014. The hate crime victim never stopped campaigning for justice and federal charges were finally brought and the men were sentenced to prison in March 2023.
Had the races in the Maui assault been reversed, we would have all heard about it. Not only did we not hear about it, but local leftist activists and the media rallied in support of the attackers.
An Associated Press article claimed that two racist thugs beating a man and planning to kill him reflects “Hawaii’s nuanced and complicated relationship with race.”
That’s not how attacks on black people moving into white neighborhoods were described.
Hawaii Public Radio, an NPR member, provided “context” and “complex history” for the case. A Hawaiian language professor blamed white colonialism, called the vicious assault a “clash of cultural values”, and worried that ‘Haole’, the slur that the Polynesian attackers had used, would make them “fearful of expressing ourselves using our own language in our own homeland”.
Another leftist professor claimed that ‘Haole’ is a legitimate slur because it names “colonial settler whiteness” and that the assault should be ignored because the real problem was “settler colonialism”. The article contained no quotes from the victim. Not even his name.
Hawaii Maui College hosted an event defending the vicious racist attackers in which a leftist activist complained that, “these young men had already been pled guilty in the state system, but that wasn’t good enough. They’re being used as scapegoats for the white culture to teach everybody else a lesson.”
The Kunzelman case can help us understand what happened before and after the Maui fires.
What looks like incompetence by government officials really reflects an ongoing racial conflict. Leftist activists, most of them white or black, have organized some activist Polynesian residents (often wrongly referred to as native Hawaiians) along the American Indian or Australian aboriginal model into their own system with extensive leverage over the bureaucracy.
Ongoing conflicts over water rights between plantations and so-called ‘native cultivation” led to a denial of water to fight the fires. The widely reported denial of water by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, to fight the fires led to national outrage, but local pro-Polynesian activists and the media rallied to his defense since what he was really defending was ‘native cultivation’ against the sugar cane plantations.
Even with the wildfires going on, the Hawaii Supreme Court rejected a petition from the state government to free up water to fight the fires. The state was not allowed to divert water from that being wasted for “customary Hawaiian practices and ecological balance”.
The court ruled that the state government had not shown a “clear and indisputable right to the relief requested” that being the use of the water needed to put out the fires instead of using it to inefficiently grow the ‘Taro’ plant: an Asian root vegetable that we are told by activists is specially sacred to Hawaii even though it’s grown and eaten all over Asia and even Africa.
Taro requires a lot of fresh flowing water, especially when grown the ‘native’ way, and ‘traditional methods’ ignore all the accomplishments of modern agriculture to grow it in the most wasteful way possible. Taro plants suffer from innumerable diseases while the ‘native’ approach is to ignore modern cross-breeding methods that would make the crops more resilient.
Nigeria grows and exports Taro around the world, while Hawaii’s ‘native agriculture’ is so hopeless that the state has to import 2 million pounds of its ‘sacred vegetable.’ If you visit Hawaii, the Taro you eat could very well be coming from Nigeria or China. But growing Taro the traditional way isn’t about functional agriculture, but striking a blow against the plantations.
And denying the plantations the water they needed to fight fires, like the Kunzelman assault, was about striking a blow against the hated ‘Haoles’ who colonized the land after the Polynesians had originally colonized it by enslaving the original inhabitants, tattooing their heads and then using them as human sacrifices while making Captain Cook look like a saint.
Growing Taro the ‘native way’ was more important than fighting fires and saving lives. Local activists have shown little interest in the wildfires which may have claimed hundreds of lives, but view the fires as a colonialist conspiracy to take away water rights from a bureaucracy of “indigenous” activists. ‘Native rights’ matter much more than fighting wildfires or human life.
The ‘missteps’ that killed people, from failing to sound the sirens to setting up a barricade that blocked drivers trying to escape the fires, are typical of an insular society where things are often done informally and outsider ‘Haoles’ are deliberately denied the information they need unless they have lived there long enough to cultivate relationships and get a feel for what is going on.
Much of Hawaii operates by third world rules that subvert American norms. Corrupt cronyism is ubiquitous. Rules, including safety regulations, are only honored in the breach. And resentment toward mainlanders, while not universal, is enough of a factor that the perpetrators of the Kunzelman assault could not only expect to get away with it, but they nearly did.
What role did all of those factors play in the record wildfire deaths? The answer is some. It will be very hard to separate disdain from malice, an obsession with maintaining a racial power struggle even during a crisis, a disregard for outsiders that under normal circumstances might be merely inconvenient but in this case proved fatal, and line up a specific body count.
But what happened is what leftists in America call “systemic racism”.
The system in Hawaii, while often headed by Americans, is handicapped by a significant presence of ‘indigenous’ activists who may be merely neglectful or actively hostile. And there’s little question that some people of all races died because of the systemic racism of a setup that treated outsiders as despised interlopers and used informal, rather than formal, systems.
That is the story of the Maui wildfires that no one will tell. It’s the background behind the tragedy.
After the wildfires, the battle over land and water will continue to be fought between leftist groups like the Sierra Club and its Polynesian activist allies, and everyone else. Hawaii’s original Polynesian colonists are not villains in this. Most of them simply want to live their lives. Like minority communities in America, leftists have recruited ugly, racist and radical elements from among them and weaponized them to seize power and wreck their share of the country.
The Maui wildfires, like the aftermath of disasters in Puerto Rico or the misery in urban inner cities in America, reflect an inculcated culture of systemic racism, victimhood and dysfunction.
The damage from the wildfires will heal, but the underlying crisis of Hawaii will continue.
A decade ago, Christopher Kunzelman was told that, “no white man is ever going to live here.” Hawaiian activists worsened the impact of the wildfires to make sure that “no white man is ever going to live” in a much broader swath of Hawaii than just one house in one village.
But Greenfield, Hawaiian and Polynesian contributions to humanity are under appreciated. They make human heads look like coconuts with pineapple brains and make black violence seem gentle. They’re just misunderstood. Before the evil Haolies got there, they had to eat fish and each other just to survive in the traditional manner. They’re eco saints.
Hawai’i is a “utopia of racial harmony” the sane way that Canada is a “liberal utopia” . . . NOT! During my last business trip to Honolulu it seemed one out of every four pedestrians was a drugged vagabond and they were from all racial subsets.
And they married their relatives. That must have created generations of morons.
Reading about this vicious and vile attempted murder, and, law enforcement’s indefensible inaction, afterwards, makes me think that Hawaii should be kicked out of the United States, or, encouraged to secede. If the “natives” are so spite-filled and restless, let them have their independence and see how that works out.
We keep Pearl Harbor, just like we keep Gitmo Bay.
We should still have the Panama Canal, but instead, dumbass Carter wanted to feel warm & fuzzy, and gave away what we built and paid for.
Communist China now controls it . . . and our *president.
Anti-White sentiments are the same on Native American reservations such as the Navajo reservation in New Mexico and adjoining states. I lasted two weeks at Navajo Technical University (NTU) as the librarian because the Navajo were looking for any reason to kick a White man around. In the last four years, NTU has gone through 4 White librarians because it is open season on Whites. Unfortunately, there are not enough qualified Native Americans to staff NTU so NTU administration is forced to hire Whites though I noticed a lot of Nigerian and Chinese faculty who could barely speak English hired to replace White faculty.
Systemic racism in America 2023 is being installed not dismantled. The focus on race divides the nation from New York to Maui. Making us vulnerable to invasion and unable to unite to defend ourselves. The One party rulers that seems to corrupt these areas were it’s the worst has much to answer for. But everyone’s afraid to ask the right questions. Particularly of the so-called victims who are now some of the worst offenders.
The right question is “Why is this happening in every single western democratic country?”
Answer: The United Nations sustainable development goals being implemented by Agenda 2030.
The culmination of Agenda 21 was convid.
Thank you, Mr. Greenfield, very interesting. I don’t know much about Hawaii, though I was there ~50 years ago. At a free rock concert in downtown Waikiki, a couple young Hawaiian men offered to sell me mescaline and threatened me when I politely declined.
Also spent a few days on Maui, at Kanapali Beach near Lahaina. There didn’t seem to be much there, besides the resorts.
Have read recently on the web that the average Hawaiian’s IQ is 87.
So they’re as backward & stunted as they were in the days of Captain Cook.
Yes, a good lesson on the dangers of inbreeding. I’m surprised they don’t have tails.
Generations of inbreeding until White missionaries pug an end to it.
States With Lowest IQ
The ten states with the lowest IQ are :
1. Mississippi – 94.2
2. Louisiana – 95.3
3. California – 95.5
4. Hawaii – 95.6
5. Alabama – 95.7
6. New Mexico – 95.7
7. Nevada – 96.5
8. Arizona – 97.4
9. Arkansas – 97.5
10. Tennessee – 97.7
They talk about cultural appropriation but when I visited Hawaii a few years back I was there to help a space observatory improve their project success rate.
I took a drive up Mauna Kea and stopped at the visitor centre where there were some protesters trying to stop the construction of the world’s largest telescope.
They claimed that the mountain was their holy place and that it would never be built in Mecca or St Paul’s so why on their holy ground?
Interestingly the Hawaiian flag has a UK Union Jack in the corner because the king of Hawaii wanted to be part of the British empire.
The locals today believe that America is illegally occupying the islands.
Ironic really.
The telescope was built on Gran Canaria.
Have never really wanted to visit Hawaii, not sure exactly why. Even having grown up with “Hawaii 5-0,” it always just seemed to be a pretty crass and commercial endeavor. From what I read, it’s just extremely leftist (senator Hirono) and extremely expensive.
Sometime back prior to 2015, as a result of the “Mauna kea comprehensive management plan” which requires the decommissioning of three previously existing telescopes on that site. With the intent of commissioning one new telescope in cooperation with University of Hawaii. So now the CSO is moving to the perfectly adequate radio telescopic site in Chile. It’s instructive to know that Mauna Kea is regarded as the premier location in the western hemisphere for submillimeter astronomy by dint of the dry high altitude.
Yeah, I noticed already in the late 1970s/early 1980s that the left was organizing the “native” Hawaiians against the Whites.
I always wanted to go Hawaii. Mainly to do a pilgrimage to Pearl. My wife lived on Oahu in the 1960s. She told me to prepare for disappointment. Hostile Hawaiians, many Japanese, fewer whites and increasing crime as the state turned Left.
She always said I was looking for the Hawaii of Dec. 6 1941.
I wonder how those racist Hawaiians on Maui will feel when the rich white folk buy up the burn area and all the natives get are the usual service jobs.
Very interesting article… sheds another perspective on things regarding the fires…
Mess with whites, you are going to get burned.
Reject the whiteness in society, and all that is left is the stupid.
Hawaii has always been racist. There are consequences to racism. It is one thing to reject savagery and primitivism of another race, quite another to reject the competence that is the source of European success globally.
And that is exactly what BIPOC rejects today.. The choice was to emulate whites for their competence, or resent competence as whiteness.
Hawaii, homeland of Obama, of course went with Option 2?
This is how the woke world responds to disaster-compare it with how DeSantis responded to hurricanes and a shooting in Florida
In light of all THIS info, all I want to say is burn Maui burn. Burn it to the ground.
Ed Dowd who is on our side, lives there, so let’s not get too carried away.
Having written that, I don’t feel quite as sorry for the victims as I did prior to reading this article.
The Left is such a bunch of haters and fermenters of hate. Wishing good for others, loving them, promotes true social peace and internal joy.
Dancing on the graves of several hundred people who burned alive seems to be in pretty direct contrast to your whole doctrine of loving others and wishing them well, but I’d love to hear how they work together.
“don’t feel quite as sorry for the victims,” is “dancing on the graves of?” Sounds legit, lol. Tell us another one.
The Liberal leftists racists are showing their true colors
Thanks Daniel, great article and daring information, which many would be afraid to acknowledge. This certainly explains why they continually send that hateful little racist runt as a senator.
dad went through pearl on his way to fight in ww2. he told me flat out that the natives hated whites.
If the residents of Hawaii have felt that they were invaded and taken over by a hostile government, it’s understandable that they would feel resentment, just as we do when we are being overrun by illegal aliens.
It’s too bad that the economic progress they enjoyed as a result would not have pleased them by now.
They might consider that if it wasn’t the US it would have been China – and then breathe a sigh of relief.
Japan would have been the ones to show them what hostile was.
Their perspective would be much different if they’d been occupied by the Imperial Japanese. They have no idea how lucky they’ve been.
Years ago I knew someone who graduated from Chaminade University, he said the same thing about the natives while he was there. Constant harassment, fights. He took Karate classes for his safety. Too bad, Hawaii was annexed more than a century ago and it’s been a state for more than 60 years. One would think they would be used to us by now.

In traditional Hawaiian culture, a commoner who dared to look an ali’i noble in the eyes was instantly killed.
“The only thing coming from the outside is the electricity,”
If they got rid of the whites even that wouldn’t be coming in, bright boys.
We need another Eisenhower to send in the Federales to prevent this denial of basic constitutional rights by a crooked, corrupt, racist state.
I’d had no idea that Hawaii was like this; I’d always imagined “The Aloha State” as a delightful, safe, welcoming, American Paradise in the middle of the Pacific–one that I’d hoped to visit and enjoy, on my Bucket List.
Now, not so much.
If this is the state of affairs there, no thanks.
Perhaps the “natives” would be happier if their islands were allowed to secede, and return to “independence.” as a hostile, foreign nation.
After reading this piece, I’d be fine with that, except that then, no doubt, the warships of Communist China’s navy would immediately be based, drydocked, and operated out of Pearl Harbor, and Xi Jinping’s air force would be delighted to take over and operate out of Clark Field (as they now do out of the former U.S. base of Bagram that Biden handed to them in Afghanistan).
I foresee one puzzling problem, though: The American Flag would have to be re-designed with 49 stars in Her field, instead of 50…at least wherever the Flag is still allowed to be flown, if it still is anywhere here at all.
Interesting, but Clark Field is in the Philippines, Hickam AFB is in Hawaii! Flown into both many times. I was there at Clark AB (Field) in the Philippines, immediately after the evacuation of personnel due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, conducting damage assessment on Clark AB. Otherwise, I agree with your comments concerning Hawaii’s desired independence would be short lived only to be interrupted by a communist China! As far as I am concerned if they want that, go for it! I been to Hawaii many times doubt I’ll be back. Glad to finally hear there was a small measure of Justice in the case of the whites that were unjustly attacked and beaten due to racism!
Sorry about my misidentification of the two airfields. Thanks for the correction!
Stationed in Hawaii early 70’s. Whole lotta interracial violence. Nothing has changed. Paradise, NOT!
My brother, then a Sergeant in the Marines, was stationed at Kaneoi (SP?) Bay for a year, in the late ’70s. I still remember him telling me that one night he was walking on a street near the base and saw 3 “Samoans” (native Hawaiians) breaking into a parked car, obviously to steal it, or its contents.
He paid them no heed, said nothing, made no attempt whatsoever to stop them, just continued on his way…and yet, an instant later all three fell on him, beat the hell out of him, and left him bleeding on the sidewalk with a broken nose and multiple other injuries.
So much for the “peaceful, friendly” Natives of our 50th state!
Samoans are definitely present in Hawai’i but are not considered “native” Hawai’ians. The Hawai’ians encountered by Capt Cook, who was killed on the Big Island, and the later-arriving American missionaries, mostly Connecticut Yankee stock, did not thrive and have mostly disappeared. Very few “pure” Hawaiians and they have to prove their descent to claim benefits due them. Their royal family, too. Beatrice Pau’ahi Bishop (married to white missionary descendant) was I believe the last one. The Bishop Trust was established to help these natives with education gained from rents from the lands the trust owned.. The so-called Big Five families/business trusts have pretty much lost their earlier power/status. I shouldn’t say because I haven’t followed their progress in years. The powerful Haole families are like the New England WASPs, just a pale shadow of their earlier days.
We lived at Pearl Harbor US Navy in 1970-71. Did not miss it when we left. Visited in 1995. The place was even less appealing then! The Samoans are the dregs: large, lazy and good for not much but trouble.
Try “Confessions of a public defender “
The public& media are shallow , superficial & too obtuse to recognize the face of blatant , brazen racism on the part of affirmative action minorities .
60 years of affirmative action has completely poisoned the well of social discourse.; so that there’s no chance of reconciling our differences . The END.
The anti-white racists are using is South Africa’s anti-apartheid model. White’s control everything only because they have stolen it from indigenous people, therefore we can take it back and kill the colonolialists.
AFTER Hawaii legally secedes, The F.A.A. should place all those rocks on a ‘NO FLY TO” list and see how their economy dos without our tourist dollars!
While it would be a great idea to keep a military presence at Pearl and Kaneohe, I’d rather our military not be at risk if we have to nuke Oahu!
You people are nothing but people who hate anyone who isn’t white!!! I live in Honolulu, and I have married a Hawaiian man. We have been together for almost fifty years. He died this year and went to Jesus this year, and I would never take anyone but him. I have never seen a man who was as wonderful as he was.
Our children, one man and one daughter, and I can tell you that they never did anything to make people feel bad!!! However, I have seen Hawaiian men stop men who are pulling around with Hawaiian girls and women!!! It made me sick when I saw it!!! My husband told them if you can’t be a man, don’t come here. He never hit anyone. It was the white man that tried to hit my husband. He just held his hand. If you touch me you will go to jail so stop it!!!
They have many people who come to Hawai’i most are wonderful but we get some horrible people that come to Hawai’i!!!
Lived there almost 30 years, I saw both sides.
By the way, my son is in Maui now because he wanted to help the people get their place back!!!
He has been there for a while and now he has to go back to work!!
The problem is the left has stirred up dangerous levels of anti-white racism. The issue is they hate us, not that we hate them. Yes, of course, there are white degenerates. They come in all colors.. I have felt nothing but grief over what happened to the people in Lahaina. Kudos to your son for doing what he can to help.
Maybe it’s time to recolonize it…we are already hated so nothing to lose.
2020. During “Wuflu,” I spent five weeks on O’ahu.
They dislike mainlanders. (Haoli’s)
Even when you are spending money.
It’s a blue sh*thole.
I’ll never return.
RED states for me.
I as a Haole lived in Lahania early 1990s, one block off Front Street, didn’t stay long as I heard so much racist crap from Hawaiians because they are smiley smiley to your face if they know you are a tourist but that all changes once they see you are not leaving and it came to a point where I was carrying a Baseball in my Car as I was a Taxi Driver and one Hawaiian Taxi Driver whom I heard was often smoking crack but his Father was on the Police Force and so I left because I could see he was a coward and would probably attack me from behind.
Many Maui men are on Welfare while dealing Weed, which is powerful stuff in Maui, and drunk and stoned while beating their wives and yet they blame the Haoles for all their problems and yet have the British Union Jack on their State Flag.
Im British and lived in various States for decades, Naturalized American,
I have lived in places around the world that could well be called paradise but Maui certainly was not one of them.
So please explain how Oprahwhale, Obuma, Zuckerbug and BozoBezos are excepted by the “natives”? How do they get their “clean” safe sacred water for their mansions on sacred grounds?
BREAKING: MORE FOOTAGE DROPS SHOWING MAUI POLICE BLOCKING CARS; COPS TRAP IN KILL ZONE COMPILATION
Dedicated to all the victims of this attack, their families, the whistleblowers and journalists documenting the crimes. A more comprehensive documentary is in development
f you want to vsit a tropical paradise, go to the Caribbean. The people are nice (usually) and will treat you right. Hawaii can go pound sand.
It was a beautiful place! Sadly I had a timeshare at Kaanapali beach (near Lahaina) that I sold for 2 cases of Budweiser Had some not pleasant interactions with the natives. Could tell they resented me and my family. They certainly don’t mind taking your money!
