Kingdom of Hawaii had legalized contractual slavery under the Masters and Servants act until it was annexed by the US.

My Chinese relatives were literally slaves more recently than the relatives of any black slave.

Reparations NAO!

MASTERS AND SERVANTS (Na Haku A Me Na Kauwa):

From June 21st, 1850 laborers were subject to a strict law known as the Masters and Servants Law. Under the provisions of this law, enacted just a few weeks after the founding of the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society, two different forms of labor contracts were legalized, apprenticeships and indentured service. Under this law, absenteeism or refusal to work could cause a contract laborer to be apprehended by the district magistrate or police officer and subsequently sentenced to work for the employer an extra amount of time after the contract expired, usually double the time of the absence.

For those contract laborers who found conditions unbearable and tried to run away, again the law permitted their employers "coercive force" to apprehend them, and their contracts on the plantation would be extended by double the period of time they had been away. If such a worker then refused to serve, he could be jailed and sentenced to hard labor until he gave in. The law, therefore, made it virtually impossible for the workers to organize labor unions or to participate in strikes. Indeed, the law was only a slight improvement over outright slavery.

Even the mildest and most benign attempts to challenge the power of the plantations were quashed. One early Japanese contract laborer in Hilo tried to get the courts to rule that his labor contract should be illegal since he was unwilling to work for Hilo Sugar Company, and such involuntary servitude was supposed to be prohibited by the Hawaiian Constitution, but the court, of course, upheld the Masters and Servant's Act and the harsh labor contracts (Hilo Sugar vs. Mioshi 1891). A far more brutal and shameful act was committed agianst another one of the first contarct laborers or "imin" who dared to remain in Hawai'i after his contract and try to open a small business in Honoka'a. His name was Katsu Goto, and one night, after riding out to help some other imin with an English translation, he was assaulted, beaten, and lynched [read more]

imagine how well I could have done in school if the generational stain of slavery had not held me back. And to think the Hawaiian sovereignty movement demands a return to power of the Kingdom of Hawaii, the very government that kept my great great great grandparents in chains.

They might as well be flying confederate flags. Fucking animals.

? how do you think you acquired your work ethic? to say that you’re being ungrateful to your ancestors’ masters is an understatement.

Where does it say that slave status was permanent and inherited down the generations, like black slavery?

It seems more like temporary indentured servitude

it was not chattel slavery. It was simply for a term usually exceeding the remaining life of the slave.
