why it is important to educate others on cherry bullet’s comeback song title ‘aloha ‘oe’ thread:
i am from hawai’i. my family has native hawaiians in it. we practice hawaiian culture. ‘aloha ‘oe’ is a farewell ballad, written in the time when the hawaiian islands fell and were colonized by the USA. this song has become a national anthem to hawai’i.
please do not misunderstand my spreading of awareness as hate for the girls. this is the ent’s fault and a failure to do proper research. the least cherry bullet fans/lullet’s can do so as to not exacerbate the offense is to educate others on why this is not okay.
as a girl from hawaii, it hurts how normalized it’s become to use hawaiian culture as party themes or summer comeback concepts. luau parties, fake hula dancing, you may think it’s okay bc it’s so normalized but it’s not. this is real people’s culture that has been stolen.
