This is what we need boiling over inside the spirit of every
victim of Western colonialism, not just "black" ones:

[quote]Killing Rage: Militant Resistance
I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white male
that I long to murder. We have just been
involved in an incident on an airplane where K, my friend and
traveling companion, has been called to the front of the
plane and publicly attacked by white female stewardesses who
accuse her of trying to occupy a seat in first class that is
not assigned to her. Although she had been assigned the seat,
she was not given the appropriate boarding pass. When
she tries to explain they ignore her. They keep explaining to
her in loud voices as though she is a child, as though she is
a foreigner who does not speak airline English, that she must
take another seat. They do not want to know that the
airline has made a mistake. They want only to ensure that the
white male who has the appropriate boarding card will
have a seat in first class. Realizing our powerlessness to alter
the moment we take our seats. K moves to coach. And I
take my seat next to the anonymous white man who quickly
apologizes to K as she moves her bag from the seat he has
comfortably settled in. I stare him down with rage, tell him
that I do not want to hear his liberal apologies, his repeated
insistence that “it was not his fault.”
...
He let me know in no uncertain terms that he felt his apology
was enough, that I should leave him be to sit
back and enjoy his flight. In no uncertain terms I let him know
that he had an opportunity to not be complicit with the
racism and sexism that is so all pervasive in this society (that
he knew no white man would have been called on the
loudspeaker to come to the front of the plane while another
white male took his seat—a fact that he never disputed).
Yelling at him I said, “It was not a question of your giving up
the seat, it was an occasion for you to intervene in the
harassment of a black woman and you chose your own comfort and
tried to deflect away from your complicity in that
choice by offering an insincere, face-saving apology.”
...
We were reminded of this incident when we boarded the plane and
a black woman passenger arrived to take
her seat in coach, only the white man sitting there refused to
move. He did not have the correct boarding pass; she did.
Yet he was not called to the front. No one compelled him to move
as was done a few minutes later with my friend K. The very
embarrassed black woman passenger kept repeating in a soft
voice, “I am willing to sit anywhere.” She sat elsewhere.
It was these sequences of racialized incidents involving black
women that intensified my rage against the white
man sitting next to me. I felt a “killing rage.” I wanted to
stab him softly, to shoot him with the gun I wished I had in my
purse. And as I watched his pain, I would say to him tenderly
“racism hurts.” With no outlet, my rage turned to
overwhelming grief and I began to weep, covering my face with my
hands. All around me everyone acted as though
they could not see me, as though I were invisible, with one
exception. The white man seated next to me watched
suspiciously whenever I reached for my purse. As though I were
the black nightmare that haunted his dreams, he
seemed to be waiting for me to strike, to be the fulfillment of
his racist imagination. I leaned towards him with my legal
pad and made sure he saw the title written in bold print:
“Killing Rage.”
In the course on black women novelists that I have been teaching
this semester at City University, we have
focused again and again on the question of black rage. We began
the semester reading Harriet Jacobs’s autobiography,
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, asking ourselves “where
is the rage?” In the graduate seminar I teach on Toni
Morrison we pondered whether black folks and white folks can
ever be subjects together if white people remain unable
to hear black rage, if it is the sound of that rage which must
always remain repressed, contained, trapped in the realm of
the unspeakable. In Morrison’s first novel, The Bluest Eye, her
narrator says of the dehumanized colonized little black
girl Pecola that there would be hope for her if only she could
express her rage, telling readers “anger is better, there is a
presence in anger.” Perhaps then it is that “presence,” the
assertion of subjectivity colonizers do not want to see, that
surfaces when the colonized express rage.
...
Even though black psychiatrists William Grier and Price Cobbs
could write an entire book called Black Rage, they used their
Freudian standpoint to convince readers that rage was merely a
sign of powerlessness. They named it pathological, explained it
away. They did not urge the larger culture to see black rage as
something other than sickness, to see it as a potentially
healthy, potentially healing response to oppression and
exploitation.
...
It is the clear defiant articulation of that rage that continues
to set Malcolm X apart from contemporary black thinkers and
leaders who feel that “rage” has no place in anti-racist
struggle. These leaders are often more concerned about their
dialogues with white folks. Their repression of rage (if and
when they feel it) and their silencing of the rage of other
black people are the sacrificial offering they make to gain the
ear of white listeners.
...
To perpetuate and maintain white supremacy, white folks have
colonized black Americans, and a part of that colonizing process
has been teaching us to repress our rage, to never make them the
targets of any anger we feel about racism. Most black people
internalize this message well. And though many of us were taught
that the repression of our rage was necessary to stay alive in
the days before racial integration, we now know that one can be
exiled forever from the promise of economic well-being if that
rage is not permanently silenced.
...
Now, black people are routinely assaulted and harassed by white
people in white supremacist culture. This
violence is condoned by the state. It is necessary for the
maintenance of racial difference. Indeed, if black people have
not learned our place as second-class citizens through
educational institutions, we learn it by the daily assaults
perpetuated by white offenders on our bodies and beings that we
feel but rarely publicly protest or name.
...
I felt that Malcolm X dared black folks to claim our emotional
subjectivity and that we could do this only by claiming our
rage.
Like all profound repression, my rage unleashed made me afraid.
It forced me to turn my back on forgetfulness, called me out of
my denial. It changed my relationship with home-with the
South—made it so I could not return there. Inwardly, I felt as
though I were a marked woman. A black person unashamed of her
rage, using it as a catalyst to develop critical consciousness,
to come to full decolonized self-actualization, had no real
place in the existing social structure. I felt like an exile.
Friends and professors wondered what had come over me. They
shared their fear that this new militancy might consume me. When
I journeyed home to see my family I felt estranged from them.
They were suspicious of the new me. The “good” southern white
folks who had always given me a helping hand began to worry that
college was ruining me. I seemed alone in understanding that I
was undergoing a process of radical politicization and
self-recovery.
Confronting my rage, witnessing the way it moved me to grow and
change, I understood intimately that it had
the potential not only to destroy but also to construct. Then
and now I understand rage to be a necessary aspect of
resistance struggle. Rage can act as a catalyst inspiring
courageous action. By demanding that black people repress and
annihilate our rage to assimilate, to reap the benefits of
material privilege in white supremacist capitalist patriarchal
culture, white folks urge us to remain complicit with their
efforts to colonize, oppress, and exploit. Those of us black
people who have the opportunity to further our economic status
willingly surrender our rage. Many of us have no rage.
As individual black people increase their class power, live in
comfort, with money mediating the viciousness of racist
assault, we can come to see both the society and white people
differently.
...
Black people who sustain that link often find that as we "move
on up” our rage intensifies. During that time of
my life when racial apartheid forbid possibilities of intimacy
and closeness with whites, I was most able to forget about
the pain of racism. The intimacy I share with white people now
seldom intervenes in the racism and is the cultural
setting that provokes rage. Close to white folks, I am forced to
witness firsthand their willful ignorance about the impact
of race and racism. The harsh absolutism of their denial. Their
refusal to acknowledge accountability for racist conditions past
and present.
...
It burns in my psyche with an intensity that creates clarity. It
is a constructive healing rage. Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich
Nhat Hanh teaches that self-recovery is ultimately about
learning to see clearly.
...
As long as black rage continues to be represented as always and
only evil and destructive, we lack a vision of
militancy that is necessary for transformative revolutionary
action. I did not kill the white man on the plane even though
I remain awed by the intensity of that desire. I did listen to
my rage, allow it to motivate me to take pen in hand and
write in the heat of that moment.
...
Sharing rage connects those of us who are older and more
experienced with younger black and non-black folks who are
seeking ways to be self-actualized, self-determined, who are
eager to participate in anti-racist struggle. Renewed,
organized black liberation struggle cannot happen if we remain
unable to tap collective black rage.[/quote]
Killing racist individuals after they have already reproduced is
insufficient (though perhaps necessary depending on
circumstances), after all. The only sufficient solution is
elimination of racist bloodlines. And that indeed requires
organization.

[quote]Family of Emmett Till wants woman who made false
accusation to be charged with murder
...
Family members of Emmett Till gathered at the Mississippi State
Capitol Friday to call for justice for his murder 66 years
later.
“We will bear witness to the hatred that has been embedded in
our DNA since the slave ships arrived," said Deborah Watts, a
cousin of Till and co-founder of the Emmett Till Legacy
Foundation. “We made a promise to Mamie (Till) that we would
persist and that’s why we’re here today."
They are asking for murder charges against Carolyn Bryant
Donham, whose false accusations led to the 14-year-old’s
kidnapping and lynching in the Delta region. She is the only
living accomplice in the crime, they said.[/quote]

I get the impression all these "good people" don't want to be
angry or hateful toward evil people because anger and hate are
emotionally draining and holding onto those emotions for an
extended period of time is detrimental to one's own health.
These "good people" aren't selfish at all! They're willing "to
do anything at all to stop evil from succeeding" as long as it
doesn't personally cost them anything. Such "good people" the
majority of humanity truly is, I'm so impressed with these
human-beings and the fact that if you begin questioning them
with Socratic methods of asking them "why" they do the things
they do, or believe the things they believe, their worldview
will not crumble right before your eyes in the face of truthful
inquisition...
ALL HAIL DEMOCRACY, THE GREATEST FORM OF GOVERNMENT THAT'S EVER
EXISTED! WHAT WOULD WE HAVE DONE WITHOUT THESE WESTERNERS AND
THEIR TURANIAN WORLDVIEW!?!?!?

You cannot know who are the evil if you cannot hate their
culture. Progressivism is really evil if we want to know who we
are originally...

colonial westerners are masters at inflicting violence on
non-westerners and then suppressing and/or evading the justified
vengeful response. The colonial defensive gap needs to be closed
so that we are able to inflict vengeance on them.

I've also noticed that colonial eurocentric influence on non
western peoples has something to do with suppressing and/or
replacing natural hatred instincts with demiurgic civility.

Yes, they spread that way of life on many "non-whites" through
"self-development" training and literatures which actually
promoting adaptation to any conditions including unjust and
injustice condition. So they tend to adapt not to change the
current unjust condition. Stoicism philosophy and "Growth
Mindset" literatures and books often promoted to the
"non-whites" including in my homeland. My people already
poisoned with that western culture.
If you have time, see about what Stoicism philosopy really was
