Your throat is too valuable.

In Mr. Stein's case, as the decades have passed I now realize that he was never afraid of Mr. Gordon... he was afraid of what he would do to him.

He was afraid of himself.

you are right of course. I don't truck too much with the idea Putin is bad and we are on the moral high ground.

But I'm praying against China striking Taiwan. At least until after one of my kids (not legally adopted, but we took him and his brothers in at a young age when their meth addled mother simply abandoned them) is out of the navy. But the Taiwanese do not consider themselves Chinese and even though the written language is the same they can't even talk to each other. Our first duty station was in Taiwan back in '55 was Taiwan and the experience was the same as segregated Muncie Indiana to recently invaded Taiwan by the fleeing madman Kai-Shek who created an apartheid of segregation equal to what I had experienced in Muncie. So a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is very relevant to me.

On the other hand, back in America, I am not going to cheer on a revolt of maga white against "liberal" white unless it opens up the opportunity, like the French revolution did in Haiti. Of course the slaves were re-enslaved not through poverty but by raping their ability to survive, which they could have quite well, but damned if America was going to allow the benefits of slaves revolting against their masters to be written in the history books of their time or of the future. We made sure they became so impoverished they could never be an example of successful black governance. First through blockade and then through forced reparations that prevented them from ever benefiting from their own resources. What many don't realize that the Caribbean islands were much more prosperous at that time than the northern continent, and Haiti the most prosperous of all of the islands. But the Haitians fended off an attempt to reconquer them, they survived and remained stable with their own resources though blockaded. That didn't settle well with U.S. and we convinced France to demand reparations, and the U.S. provided the enforcement arm that forced Haiti to pay every single bit of wealth they created +. Plus, because they not only took all of the wealth but also the sustainability away from them.

The Mr. Stein in America will occur in America when the offspring of the American slaves, take off their glasses and hit white Americans and create a democracy---but that won't happen by taking over the wealth, but giving it away--back to Haiti, and the Caribbean islands and to the African nations that were all are impoverished by your Europeans. If black America can succeed to the throne then they need to give away the American plunder to those America plundered. Otherwise, what changes. And it is this assumed underclass that can pulverize and transform America, and it is they, not other nations that have to become fed up enough to prevent the American bully from continuing to bully. Ideally all bullied Americans recognize who the American bullies are and realize that bullying others based on skin color is absurd. But everyday I am more depressed that won't happen, more concerned the "well-intentioned" left are even more responsible for America's disgraceful conduct.

I mean look, the Jackson Ms water crisis was bemoaned by the left as a horrible perpetrated wrong by the right. But what did they do, tell Jackson rebuild your water system, and maybe in 20 or 30 years you might be able to drink your wife, but in the meantime just drink slightly less dirty water. What should have happened is the well-intentioned should have acted. They should have dumped the same toxins in all the Mississippi white suburbs. Then they should have armed the citizens to stand guard while all the suburbanites were impressed into (involuntary servitude is permissible punishment for a crime, and what is this but a crime?" Maybe they should have taken a page out of the Texas playbook and not given them any water breaks, but at any rate they would have been forced to do hard time until Jackson had the first sustainable water system.

Radical? Not at all. But it would have shown the left does more than say their hands are clean when 20 students a year get affirmatively admitted to some elite university and bemoaning our unjust that is. The injustice is white prerogatives that limits blacks to 2.2% of the student body. That's the injustice, affirmative action at Harvard was a joke. How about at least the percentage of the student body that equals the percentage of blacks in the country. And why are there no non-affirmative action black students? Boy that sure is color-blind isn't it? So I'm tired of hearing "liberals" make noise about issues they really have no more interest in than the so-called white supremacists. Justice does require reparations, but money? Shit that won't make black Americans treated like humans. Put the damn people who diverted safe drinking from Jackson to themselves. Don't bemoan it happened and let it continue, punish those who did it by making them labor to repair the issue and lose their own privilege. That would be justice. But I more and more and think that is the oppressed who will have to lay down their glasses and take justice into their own hands, otherwise they will continue to be denied.

But you know what I suspect, Mr. Kenyatta, I suspect your warnings or any warnings will not be heeded until those who are negated of their humanity do take action to prevent their humanity. And take justice literally to legally enslave the criminals who have oppressed them.

I don't want it to be that way, but you're right, it will happen. Just as nations around the world had to overthrow the European yoke that had strangled them for the past two or three centuries . History also shows us that is the only way it ever occurs. Unfortunately. I would like to think otherwise, and even many of those being oppressed would like to think otherwise but when the oppressed wishes are not enough---watch out?

And I'll willingly offer my throat to be slit as justice overdue.
