The europeans took those lands long ago. It's old news. Natives have little power. Hopefully Oprah contributes to Hawaii instead of just taking like the colonizers.
It's hard for them because insurance companies (who are partnered with real estate corporations like Blackrock) pulled out before this fire. It's almost as if they knew this was going to happen 🤔
It's ridiculous that rich people have acres and acres of land in Hawaii, while the Hawaiian natives are homeless. Then they'll say oh we're gonna give jobs. What jobs? Your slaves? The Hawaiian natives should be the first one to live in pleasurable lives in Hawaii before the tourists. Don't go there to make them your slaves. That's their land. Pay the highest taxes as possible to support their lives.
@@bobdol69 Hawaiian Island belongs to Hawaiian people. It's taken away from them for nothing by the government which is not right. People are being lead to believe and promise of good life by turning the island into the rich paradise. But like they say "promises are made to be broken" which is the result of homeless to the island natives. The Hawaiian people deserves to receive the benefits of what the American Indians are getting from the United States government today. They deserves to receive a hefty monthly check from the income of the island. The Hawaiian people do not need to pay taxes like American Indians. The rich people who come to live there should pay for how much it costs to maintain the life of the Hawaiian natives.
@@anniesoucek8216 American Indians don't have it easy, we have highest rate of poverty, drug and alcohol addiction, suicide, and everything else bad. Hawaiians need to fight harder, my ancestors always fought the US government. And we still fight today. It's messed up what's happening to them, but they let it happen without putting up much of a fight.
@@auntoneyofuntease6704 It's because they drink. American Indians are getting monthly check from the government, free taxes, free college education, free unlimited phone and free health care. Hawaiian should get some benefits from the income of Hawaiian Island. Rich people who come to live there should pay the price for the Hawaiian people cost of living. What would you feel or what would you say if someone come to your territory and make you their slave and put you out on the street to live because are taking your land? This is my issue in the Philippines with Chinese living in the Philippines. The government and the Chinese sounded they same as Oprah. Since I spoke up the way I'm speaking here. People in the Philippines have wake-up and more and more rejecting China.
@@anniesoucek8216 Hawaii is not a country like the Philippines, so what's your point? If Hawaiians want their land, why ain't they buying it? If not her someone else will buy it. Most people would use it for resorts and sorts but she is using it for farming. Let her have it and it's good for the people.
@@abigailzulu1500 Hawaii is an island. It used to be an independent island until US government invaded and colonized it. US government made it into an empire. The natives deserved a share of the income of the empire. Hawaiian natives can't be homeless in their own land. And they shouldn't settle for just a foodstamp and ssa retirement. They deserve a share of the island income.
@@iceman22mhow about the 80,000 kids missing??? The majority buying land in Maui were also big buddies with Weinstein and were frequent visitors of Epstein’s Pedo Island …
All of her properties were left unscathed. Keep your eyes open for the land grab by her and her elite friends who want to take Hawaii from the Hawaiians.
She was only there for a photo opp. I missed the part where she donated millions to rebuild because she cares. Just stating the facts I don't dislike anyone
It's unbelievable how much hate a tragedy like this has generated. This is a time to unite in love for our fellow man. Instead, people's lowest instincts are coming to the surface, using this tragedy to further divide our country. Lahaina and Maui will recover if we all contribute what we can, whether it be money, time, encouragement and assistance to others in need. MAUI STRONG ❤
Iv heard from family on the Island that Oprah does not use locals to do her work, instead she flys in her own people!!! 🤦🏽♀️ such a disgrace to the wonderful people of Maui
Let us draw up ANOTHER Emergency Proclamation!! Temporary acquositiom of "Ag land" for the Lahainans until their homes are rebuilt, using their home insurance policies. Insurance companies to do the right thing, before karma bites their assets. It will. Compensation for loss of livelihoods. Where are the children Where are the wounded
Now that Lahighna burned down, but Ophrah land was spared, hmmmm painted blue.......this is no conspriracy folks. Please don't sell any of your land, keep it with Lahighna culture and natives. This was a tragedy and Ophrah is behind it as well as lots of the local government.
She has BILLIONS of dollars and no children to leave it to!!! She could literally rebuild all of those homes and still have BILLIONS of dollars left. Her efforts are not sincere.
i work for a wealthy land owner in Hawaii along with 200 + locals beats dancing like trained monkeys at the luau anyday we belong to the land (even if our name isnt on it)
This rich people don’t care who they hurt or even take away from but one day there are gonna stand in front Jesus Christ n be Judge n his gonna say Get Away I Never New Knew New You Send Them To HELLFIRE 👿👿👿with SATAN n his DEMONS
I’m glad you made this comment. When native Hawaiians had trust lands given to them by the royal families to care for elderly Hawaiians, indigent Hawaiians, to educate Hawaiin children, and medical facilities for native Hawaiians many of those trust lands were dissolved because politicians in Hawaii called it an oligarchy. The revenue from these lines is what kept senior citizen Hawaiians in Lunalilo homes. the Queen Liliuokalani trust helped fund indigent children of Hawaiian ancestry. Queen Emma trust helped to provide medical for native Hawaiians. Bernice Pauahi bishop trust revenue was used to educate native Hawaiian children. Calling it an oligarchy and dissolving the lands but allowing The island of Niihau to be owned by the Robinson family, and the island of lanai to be owned by Larry Ellison. No one said anything about it. Right now Mark Zuckerberg is stealing lands out from under native Hawaiians on the island of Kauai and no one is making any waves about it. But a black woman who is a billionaire buys a large portion of land to farm on and everybody has an issue with it. She’s the only one who has a native Hawaiian cultural advisor working for her. Thank you for your comments
@@shawnaokami-rosehill8123 I'm an elderly person, born and raised in Hawaii. I have seen enough and cannot hold back. Why is this even allowed??? I'm tired of seen Hawaiian people suffering on their own lands and being driven out! I do not trust the "intentions" of people like Oprah, even if she has a native Hawaiian cultural advisor working for her. She knows how to play the game. I don't trust Zuckerberg, and Ellison. Thank you for understanding my feelings on this.
@@shawnaokami-rosehill8123 you really should repost your comment in a number of places so more people can see it and understand what's going on ... although I'm not sure I totally trust Oprah Winfrey either just because she has a real native Hawaiian working as her advisor ... if she's not obeying what he's telling her then that doesn't mean anything and also we don't know if that Hawaiian man has real loyalties to the Hawaiian people ... ? His loyalties could be to wealthy people who pay him well ?
@@Yourinneridiotisshowing. your right there is a difference...and that $100k donation was a joke and shows what type of person Oprah really is since that will be a tax write-off anyway since she makes $10 per second, $600 per minute, $36,000 an hour, $864,000 a day, $25,920,000 a month which is $311,040,000 a year! I see your point someone making $300+ mill a year can only afford 100k to there community they live in....
I’m sick of this inequality, one person gets hundreds of acres while others suffer in poverty / can barely afford rent. Something is truly wrong with this world.
Yes I agree and it's not the fault of the folks in the poorest sectors. It's the controlling psychopathic so called elites. They have always been here.
And???????? It’s called business!!!! Mad because a woman is doing it? Or mad because a Black woman(billionaire) is doing it? Search your “ learned behavioral prejudices”. They aren’t an opinion. They’re prejudices!!! Dummy!
That’s crazy that won’t even help one family out with all they’ve lost. That is definitely a tax deductible for her and that’s all it is to her. Didn’t come from her heart. Terrible terrible person
If you still drive, eat animals, use plastic and hoard more than you truly need, you are in fact disastrous to all life on Earth and everyone's habitats. There are people out there who are not a detriment thanks to conscious everyday choices. You?
Why doesn't she use all her money to rebuild houses for all those that lost theirs. Isn't that who she portrays herself as, a kind loving human that uses her connections and money for doing good? Yeah, I don't think so
Anybody making demands on how you spend your money, outside of the necessities? Did you buy a Starbucks today or give to the victims of the fire? Shut up!
@@acepairfecto5597 Everyone has a right to go where they choose and profit the most. An Hawaiian doctor earns as much as a Polish immigrant or Filipino doctor. With the free education funding for Hawaiians and special tax breaks they should be able to surpass all other races to the top of the economic ladder and purchase land wherever they choose.
Uuumm I think she's buying land that no one lives on and she's probably Gunna buy it just to give it back 🤫 u know..she has a good heart I can't see her buying land and filling it with bullshit mainlanders....
I reckon Tulsi Gubbard is part of the plot, she was so involved in politics representing the area and once upon a time they would utilize the rain for plantations because it rains a lot but the clouds stop at the mountains and the rain water goes straight back in the ocean (that's why the storm surge did nothing to stop the fires that never even hit the mainland mystifying the locals like it was engineered) and all this was all destroyed by corrupt politicians, the plantations no longer there, the water no longer utilized all happened under her watch and she says oh, it's drought, this is probably the real reason she left the Democrats and not even went with Republicans so she appears genuine. Obviously, she has accomplished a lot in the military but in politics let's face it she never really clocked on, what did she really fight for, endorsing Bernie Sanders and national security apart from that never really delivering for the people, just a hanger oner till this day. This is just my own personal theory based on my own observations of late, research and feedback from the people of Maui, liberal supremists are the worst of the lot.
@@Yourinneridiotisshowing.You think she wasn’t aware of this planned event? She’s already buying more land after the fires. Locals are getting phone calls all day everyday from companies trying to buy their land. It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s a conspiracy against the natives living in Maui.
I crawled from under the “rock of knowledge”. You should try it sometime. Anyway. No comments on the 825,000, King Ranch, which is privately held. Any rebuttal on that?
Same mindset as Markle. Camera crazy. Me me me! Look what I’M doing. Aren’t I great?? Oprah Wouldn’t dream of doing true charity work without everyone knowing about it.
@808frost3 not surprised Blackrock bought some land in Maui. Blackrock is known for corruption for using EGS, DEI and CEI. They also have property in Ukraine.
Hawaii doesn’t need to sell out their land to these Elites to find help for their deer population problem. All they need to do is bring in some hunters and tell them a daily Limit and their problem will be solved. Islanders can use the meat themselves. Problem solved and selling out your Homeland isn’t necessary!
And the hunters will buy licenses which will fund the state's wildlife management agency instead of spending tax dollars to control the wildlife overpopulation.
It kind of makes me sick all these rich people buying so much land in a place where Hawaiians can't even find housing. Or taking land that could be publicly enjoyed instead of hoarding it for private ownership. Come on. You'd think there would be law preventing what seems to be a form of colonization. Or are officials and local municipalities only keen on getting those millions?
Same thing is happening in Cali with our borders all affordable housing being taking by illegals it’s put horrible burden on the poor citizen and our health care system. And now with us being gentrified since 2015 so many of us natives are going homeless.
I truly hope..Oprah Winfrey is reading these comments...I once met a paralyzed woman..on Maui ..in a wheelchair. who said she was a horse handler ranch hand on Oprah's property & that she was paralyzed while working caring for Oprah's Horses..& she said..Oprah& her people threw her to the wind..No help..no support!
I have a close relative who works at an airport where Oprah once flew in on a private plane. Airport employees were told they were not allowed to look at her directly when she exited the plane and went to her waiting limo. It’s a shame all the unworthy mortals there missed out on such an opportunity….
Because one person with no children needs all of this!!! Disgusting!!! Should be illegal!!! But hey, she gave out pillows and sheets for those who lost everything… Watch and see what happens… I wish people would stop worshiping these insanely rich people.
That’s completely illegal under the United States constitution. Every American can purchase land in any one of the 50 States. Hawaii has enough discrimination as it is.
Imagine..... Your neighborhood burned down and some rich lady buys all the land in the neighborhood, then proceeds to build new homes and charge much higher than the neighborhood hood was previously. You have no place to live and are forced to move. Got the land for cheaper then usual and booted everyone....
I guess it depends on how she treats other people that come onto her land. Will she be like Zuckerberg and instantly have police surround them and threaten them? Even though where they are walking is public property along the beach? For some reason, I believe she will behave like the rest of them. It’s that club you know.
The mainland has vast tracts of land, and 100- and 1,000-acre land deals are not uncommon. Ranch, manor, wine farm. Rich people want to feel like kings. Show off wealth. However, it is wrong for them to monopolize Hawaiian land in the sense of the mainland. I wish she would play rich on the mainland.
Warning to the Rich Jas 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Jas 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Jas 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Jas 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
I saw her at War Memorial gym. She brought her own film crew, ran her “pillow & sheet” donation like the talk show host that she is. Now, she is a pretty much a- no show - on the Maui tragedy topic - since she got some negative flashback. How come we are not seeing a tiny house village pop up on that large Kula parcel? Surely that is affordable to billionaires that truly care. I’m not impressed that she hires locals. Of course she hires local, who else is around on an island to hire for doing work for you? Oprah honey, get stronger, roll up your sleeves and open the doors, to your heart. Open the doors to the land you purchased. Not just Oprah though….Bezo, Zuckerberg, and the others Richie rich folks too. The world is watching. Shuck off the old Energy and open the doors of your 💓heart.
The 😈 elites watch and rub their greedy hands with glee. Their empathy doesn't exist. The silence is deafening --no genuine offers of help without strings attached. Shame on them. The world is watching. Karma is waiting
Bad idea. Opreee would first make any potential inhabitants of her many houses sign NDAs, then they would be required to pass a background check, afterward they would sign a contract for repayment of her largesse with interest at the going rate. And, of course, they could not talk amongst themselves, either. We all know that Opreee does nothing which wouldn't profit her in some way. So, how will Opreee highlight herself in this tragic situatioin??? By filming every second of her "charity" for Lahaina and turning the hours of despair into one-hour episodes of a reality show for her very own network!! You get a pillow and YOU get a pillow and YOU get a pillow!!!! Isn't Opreeee a saint!?!?!
