I absolutely think this case deserves attention, but not from the angle that it is like the oppression that mostly black, but other people of color are experiencing at the hands of police on the mainland. It's not the same, and it takes away from the movement for change on the mainland. 

It is naive, and feels like a white apology to compare them. I will listen for a few episodes more, in hopes that the contributers to this podcast will recognize the more recent history of the pattern of hate crimes in Hawaii, and how a majority have been directed at haoles. Which, for the record, are only white people. To go back to a crime from 80 years ago, and skip over the more recent history, the history that most living people are more familiar with is going to be difficult to listen to; unless there is acknowledgement about the reality of the more recent history. From the first two episodes, it doesn't appear that is on these reporters' agenda, but I'm willing to keep an open mind.
