All men are created equal, but not all relationships are created equal. A girl's relationship with her father is more important than impersonal relationships between people of different races, because her innocence depends on it.

There is some grey area here, when it comes to mixed-race people. Unfortunately, Dr. King did not master this relationship. North Korea did. Due to their stark hatred of the U.S., America had no choice but grant U.S. citizenship to their Amerasian offspring, to avoid dragging them into this conflict. This policy applies uniformly to all Amerasians, regardless of their physical features or personal beliefs.

What does that say about America? Maybe the Black Panthers had the right idea after all.

As a teenager, a beautiful white boy sexually assaulted me--rather mildly--out of frustration because I refused to kiss him. He was just a harmless rowdy teenager, but later he joined the military. Other whites in uniform have followed this up with more hostile expressions of emotion, with no love whatsoever. So unfortunately, the only way to avenge this is to ensure my friend is murdered for putting his hands on me in the first place. (There are legal ways to accomplish this). Dr. King can go f*** himself.

I guess my point is, there are a number of factors Dr. King hadn't counted on. He died for his children, but he was a black man with a black wife. He didn't die for me, because my father is white. White guys who know me feel comfortable making advanced toward me, as they would white girl, because they know there are no black guys in my life to blow their brains out if they go too far. But I am NOT white, and these incidents only make me vulnerable to further attacks from people with less friendly intentions. King advised blacks not to use violence to achieve their political goals, but blacks must use terrorism to get through day-to-day life. I don't have that option.

Dr. King was a liar. He duped biracial people into following him, even though his cause was actually a danger to many of us. He was simply too young to lead an undertaking of this magnitude. When he first started out, some of his most loyal white allies tried to warn him that his actions were "untimely and unwise", but he ignored them and pressed on anyway. I loathe his followers, and want those hypocrites the f** out of my life.

The Civil Rights Movement was not a threat to whites, but aspects of the movement were specifically dangerous to biracial people, particularly those with white fathers. As I stated in another post, men are very good at selecting mates whose offspring are likely to survive. It's built into their genes. So ironically, the Civil Rights Movement actually strengthened most peoples' conviction that the races should remain separate. After the Movement, they quietly went about implementing policies to segregate the races even more than before, in order to minimize the birth rate of this ethnicity. Like it or not, people made major history-altering decisions based on this primitive instinct. Fairness has nothing to do with it. It's survival of the species.

Once again, many of Dr. King's white allies tried to warn him that his cause would backfire. They picked up on subtle but insuperable factors he overlooked. These are people who were with him all along, not phonies who jumped on the politically correct bandwagon after his assassination.

In early colonial Africa, an African king advised his army to fight the European invaders like hell, even though they could not possibly win. He meant violently. Not peacefully. That's because he wasn't dealing with fair and rational human beings--he was dealing with animals. Keeping whites in terror was simply a means of damage control.

Dr. King not only disregarded his faithful white advisors, who knew their people far better than he did, but also assumed he could outsmart a statesman, who had access to all the information germaine to his political decisions.

The Civil Rights Movement originated in the South, but not a single biracial person participated in the Southern Civil Rights Movement. I saw the photos of these events, and all I saw was a sea of ebony skin. Only in the North did any one of them do something so stupid, because they got all their information from media hype and other questionable sources. People of this ethnicity are now fleeing from the North to the South--the general pattern of migration for black professionals.

Early news broadcasts of the war in Iraq lead us to believe that the (smart) U.S. military captured the (stupid) Saddam Hussein by tracing a cell phone call to his wife. Frankly, I thought he was pretty dim myself. But was he really so stupid after all? Is it possible that he deliberately got himself killed for national defense purposes?

Let's look at how the war unfolded. The Iraqi military captured 2 female U.S. soldiers. Everything went downhill for the Americans after that. There is a technical reason for this. The U.S. has the communications technology to make a dinosaur of Iraq's huge military. Hence, Iraq literally had to replace verbal communication with a more intuitive form of communication, to keep their military going. Womens' intuition is more valuable than mens', so they captured females in order to inhibit their use of this talent relative to their own.

Their stay in captivity had another side effect: it utilized the sexual abuse of America's female troops, at the hands of their own men. Now that America's feminine power has been abolished in Iraq, they can no longer compartmentalize their internal problems. They are fair game for the enemy to use against them. So in a sense, American troops are officially at war with one another. They are still going through the motions of waging war with Iraq, but deep down both sides know America cannot possibly win.

So there you have it: Hussein's coded message to his wife was, "make sure the army captures female troops".

More on my white ex-friend who joined the military. I do not consider him my hero. I ridiculed his penis size as a teenager, and continue to do so to this day. I have never actually seen it, but I find it ridiculous. If I can derive some humor from my misery and desolation, this is it. I yearn to hang out with him again so I can laugh at this penis size. It cheers me up. Deprived of my dose of weekly cheer, my thoughts turn to violence, revenge, and self-pity. Dr. King was a very hard man, if he expected people like me to keep it together under such monumental strain.

Dr. King campaigned for equal protection under the law. Little did he know he was actually helping his enemies devise even more sophisticated weapons than they already had. This is a simple matter of supply and demand. When you demand a good or service, you also increase supply.

If Dr. King really wanted blacks to be safe in the long run, he would have fought adamantly for ZERO protection under the law. This wouldn't make whites like blacks any better, but it would sure make them run out of the resources to whip our a**es. This may have been the only peaceful way for King to achieve his dreams with any certainty.

Then again, Dr. King's followers were largely uneducated, and therefore they took everything at face value. Had King attempted to reject legal protection of any kind, his potential followers would have misinterpreted this as an attempt to destroy them. I think all blacks should eventually be killed, not because I hate black people, but because blacks are too much of a danger to one another and I want my race put out of their misery.

There is another reason why not a single biracial person should have participated in the Civil Rights Movement--but did. For most, integration had more than political significance--it had sentimental value as well. Any warrior can tell you that when you're in the middle of a fight, you NEVER give overly personal information to an enemy. They will use this against you forever.

By breaking this rule, civil rights activists actually betrayed their own people, and made a mockery of their objectives. This is inevitable, because they set out on a mission which would ultimately strengthen their enemies' arms. Naturally, they were bound to follow this up with something even more horribly destructive, even if they had to take their "freedom ride" to the North to do it.

Dr. King was obviously not thinking rationally when he made important historical decisions. He was basing his actions on his feelings, and the perceived emotions of others. I think he was simply too young to be in his position. When he started out as an activist, he was in his mid-20's. The minimum age to become president of the United States is 35, and we've never had a president under 43. Even our young Kennedy erred, because he had such poor relationships with his allies. For instance, one of his advisors insisted that organized crime was a minor issue which Kennedy's administration shouldn't bother to pursue. That's because, unbeknownst to Kennedy, organized crime may have helped him get elected. His advisors were simply trying to be loyal to their boss, without offending his genteel sensibilities by divulging the truth. An older man would have figured out that the stakes were a little higher than some goons, and taken their advice. But no...

Dr. King was supposedly nonviolent, but one of the rights he fought for was Equal Protection. Police protection is a violent service. The attainment of this goal ensured that blacks would be forced to adopt violence as a permanent lifestyle choice, one way or another.

There is an unwritten rule that blacks are free to attack each other, but not whites. My father is white, but I have a black face. That means blacks are free to prey upon me. Even without black-on-white violence, this is a legitimate basis for SOME white men to kill every black person in sight. Of course they would also do their own government in in the process, because these are the terms the U.S. government has established in regard to their relationship with blacks. This is an important issue. If the government's word is no good, niether is their authority to rule.

The violent overthrow of the U.S. government is not necessarily a good thing. Some factions of the white power movement have already attempted to do so, because they know about the laws of supply and demand. (If America's domestic enemies use the nation's own armed forces to topple it, this will create a demand for whites' weaponry. At a later date, this will enable them to develop even more sophisticated weapons than they already have, to conquer the world once again. Only next time they might succeed in wiping out their target minority populations altogether. They will keep this up until they do. This is the price blacks must pay in the long run, for short-term relief.)
