Manoa, I disagree. He believes the way he does for a reason, which isn't being "full of it". He isn't the only one who believes this way, and to a lesser degree (but on the same track of thought), there are many Hawaiians who consider blood quantum % as measurements of Hawaiianness, in descending order.
The problem with that, and the solution for it, isn't about one Hawaiian schooling another (and I *hate* that). It is about a well-rounded grasp on our history, most complete when it is grounded upon the actual words of those who actually said it--by the Hawaiians, through Hawaiian.
