a thread on why cherry bullet's new song ALOHA OE is cultral appropriation against hawaiian culture

#CherryBullet #체리블렛 #2nd_Digital_Single #알로하오에 #AlohaOe #상상여행 #여름아_체리블렛을_부탁해

this is what many of you don't learn in school. during queen liliuokulani's reign, the hawaiian kingdom was actually illegally overthrown by white colonizers from the US. she was imprisoned against her own will.

she wrote a farewell song called aloha oe, which we use to this day to sing farewell to loved ones. the song is very important to hawaiian culture.

these are the lyrics, you'll see why it's so important to us. colonizers took native hawaiians land. even now, in 2020 rich people are making their personal homes, making NATIVES! lose their own home and land

i have nothing against cherry bullet. they have done nothing wrong. but i want them to change the name of their song. please try mass email their company. the fact that they're using the title is rather ignorant so i wish that the company will learn and change the name.

MASS EMAIL PLEASE!!!! https://twitter.com/sunnytrivia/status/1290804071293571072?s=19

adding, i also realized they literally sampled the song? this is ridiculous

adding on, i saw a video where one of the members were taking of a crown or something? i really hope she wasn't indicating the last queen being dethroned.
