Facts are, Barack Obama was raised in a state rich in diversity, he was raised by white grandparents but of course definitely took pride in his race, what person wouldn't? He is a smart man who's upbringing just happened to be in Hawaii. The people there have strong family values and many parents who's parents were immigrants and plantation workers many years ago have inspired their kids to make college education a focus in order to becoming a success in life. It's obvious that some people just can't take the FACT that he is a black man who was brought up in Hawaii with Hawaiian values. Most times the values you have come from how you were brought up and the influence your parents had on you so just give him the credit of being a gifted child who finished college, aspired to be being greater than the normal person and who is now our President. God Bless him and his family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-69734881475687405182008-11-17T22:56:00.000-08:002008-11-17T22:56:00.000-08:00people from hawaii dont hate whites... whites alie...people from hawaii dont hate whites... whites alienate themselves because they come to hawaii with their mainland ways and fail to adjust to the home culture, so they stick out like a sore thumb.. a dumb sore thumb.<BR/><BR/>iolani school is ranked one of the top academic schools in the US.

Did you mean, relatively lousy IQ scores? Watch your grammar if you are going to criticize academic performance in Hawaii. The fact is, in most states only those high school students who are planning to attend college take SAT and ACT tests. In Hawaii nearly ALL students take the SAT. Naturally, the average score is lower because students who have no interest in college and have never shown much interest in an education are figured in with the college bound students. I also find ridiculous your assumption that the Asians who came to work on the plantations were from the "bottom of the barrel". They were mostly from rural areas, to be sure. An immigrant from a large city would have little experience in farm work and wouldn't be worth much on the plantation. Plantation owners also preferred rural workers because few of them had received a formal education. If they couldn't read they were less likely to unionize or move off the plantation to start their own businesses. Being illiterate doesn't mean a person is stupid. Your post shows your ignorance and your inclination to jump to conclusions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1170624370171886122007-02-04T13:26:00.000-08:002007-02-04T13:26:00.000-08:00I can't guess what Obama's experience was in Hawai...I can't guess what Obama's experience was in Hawaii but when I lived there I had a girlfriend working in a public school. White "racism" was endemic in the school system and not just from the students.

Just because the MSM and MSA (main stream academia; can we popularize this one?) ignore the role of nature does not mean that nature explains _everything_ or that nurture explains _nothing_.

It seems that white Hawaiians are no dynamos, so I would think an explanation based on Hawaii would make more sense than on its immigrants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1170562722351215482007-02-03T20:18:00.000-08:002007-02-03T20:18:00.000-08:00Steve, Since you are on a Hawaii kick, perhaps you...Steve, <BR/><BR/>Since you are on a Hawaii kick, perhaps you can explore a question that might be right up your alley: why does heavily Asian Hawaii have such lousy relative IQ scores and bottom rung academic performance?<BR/><BR/>One potential hypothesis from the Race/IQ perspective is that many of the original Asian immigrants were towards the bottom of the barrel in their home countries/provinces (and presumably were shifted leftward on the bell curve). Many of the early Chinese - and even Japanese - were imported to work in the sugarcane plantations. Not exactly the kind of work that would attract the best and the brightest away from their native lands. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the low achievement of Hawaii is due to this genetic bottleneck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
