Palestinians will never be free if their children’s minds are occupied by hate.

“I hate Jews”

“They teach us that Jews are terrorists”

“I’m ready to stab a Jew”

“Stabbing and running over Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. I'm going to run them over and stab them with knives.”

“Right now, I am prepared to be a suicide bomber.”

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.

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 on this topic

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.

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...

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!?!?!?

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.

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

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.

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.

“She was a giant, no-nonsense person who lived by her own rules, and spoke her own truth in a time when Black people, and women especially, did not feel empowered to do that,” close friend Dr. Linda Strong-Leek, former provost of Berea College, told the Associated Press. “It was a privilege to know her, and the world is a lesser place today because she is gone. There will never be another bell hooks.”
