'Deez Nuts' [racists] are Worldwide: Fearing a Non-White Nation, France May Also Elect a Racist

Selling More Racism. No matter what substantive issues might be at stake the mindless white votary is always super concerned about their new neighbors' skin color & what god they pray to. Whites make up less than 10% of the world's population & their numbers are shrinking. White people's worst and most basic fear is genetic annihilation or replacement in the form of the fear of the impending "Black Planet." [MORE] and [MORE]. Whites are highly motivated by this fear. If a campaign can tap into this idiocy it has struck pure gold. Knowing how to push white people's buttons, elite whites probably can get fearful, reactionary white folks to do damn near anything when motivated by racism. Program sound familair? [MORE]

Deez Nuts Now On The French Ballot. From [HERE] and [HERE] Front National leader Marine Le Pen [aka Onya Chin] has taken a sizeable lead over Nicolas Sarkozy in a new French presidential election poll. The far-right leader had 29 per cent of the vote when pitted against Les Républicains’ former president, who was eight points behind, and held a 15-point lead over the Parti de Gauche’s Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the poll released by Ipsos.

Angry white French voters will choose Le Pen as their next president, supporters say, as her far right Front National party enjoys a surge in popularity following the election of Donald Trump [aka Deez Nutz] by a white votary motivated by racism. The UN recently noted "the rising racism, xenophobia and intolerance aimed at members of ethnic and religious minorities, as well as migrants, in many European countries such as France. [MORE]

The party - which has seen its support triple in five years - insists it is not racist, but tapping into disillusionment and a demand for a new type of right wing politics.

‘I believe Marine Le Pen can be the next president of France,’ said Front National spokesman Georges Michel. ‘Things have to change!’

Ground down by unemployment, terrified by two Islamic terrorist attacks in less than a year and confronted by high levels of immigration from North Africa, France’s working classes are looking for fresh ideas.

MailOnline visited the forgotten towns and villages of the south of France that is the heartland of FN to peer behind the gloss of the far-right party and investigate whether Marine has the support necessary to propel her into the Elysee Palace.

Le Pen has predicted she will become leader of France in the third part of a ‘global’ revolution after Brexit and Trump's unexpected win. 

‘The Front National is not a racialist party,’ Mr Michel, party assistant secretary in the Vaucluse department, where the Front National holds one of only two parliamentary seats told MailOnline.

‘We are a French sovereign party, which believes France is a Christian country based on European culture and traditions.

‘You do not have to be white to be French, think of the people in [the French Caribbean department] Martinique. But we are against the growing influence of Muslims and Islam on our culture.

Carol Flaindin, 65, added: ‘What have we got to lose by voting for the Front National?

‘I don’t like Donald Trump, I’ve got nothing good to say about him, but his election victory has shown that the little people can win.

‘And us French people have had enough – enough immigration, enough crime, enough terrorism.

‘We must stop the politicians from treating the French people like fools.

‘It is time for French people to stand up for ourselves or we are going to be taken over by Muslims. I keep a gun under my bed to defend myself.’ [MORE]

Steve Bannon Says 'he is not a white nationalist - just a nationalist.' [what is nationalism?]

Racist suspect, Steve Bannon, who is the "chief strategist" of the Blight House told the Hollywood Reporter last week, "I'm not a white nationalist, I'm a nationalist. I'm an economic nationalist."

Racists love words - so they can create confusion and deceive. What exactly is "nationalism?" Always endeavoring to undeceive, Dr. Blynd offers the following in Funktionary. 

Nationalism - the natural collective commitment on the part of the members of a society and/or culture to its economic and political defense, its survival and its perpetuation, not limited by the concept of non-geographical or non-territorial "nation-state" (commercial religious monopolies erroneously known as "governments.") Michael Bakunin aptly and rightly claimed that "the "negative component' of nationalism is just as essential as the 'positive component' and inseparable from it." Class collaboration and cultural identity cannot be readily decoupled in reality—maybe as a goal—but not in reality. Racism/white supremacy must be addressed and dismantled before any class-unification or cross-collaboration can be successful in bringing about more economic equality or even liberation for the people (dwellers upon the land) in the absence of any politically institutionalized hierarchy of imperialist white male domination and dehumanizing subjugation of humans through the trickery of statutes and by-laws that enforce compelled performance to same.

Trump Assembles All-Pro White Trash Team to Lock Up Blacks, Deport Latinos & Spy On Muslims

These Deluded Idiots [racists] Believe that They Belong to a Hierarchy and Imagine Themselves to Be Higher Than What They Imagine "You" to Be. From [HERE] and [HERE] It took a week and a half following the election, but President-elect Donald Trump has finally begun selecting cabinet members. On Friday, he announced that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is his choice for Attorney General. Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn will be his National Security Adviser.

Jeff Sessions has referred to the 1965 Voting Rights Act as a “piece of intrusive legislation” and reportedly suggested that a white lawyer might be a “disgrace to his race” because he represented black clients. The NAACP routinely gives him an “F” on its congressional scorecard. This is not the first time Sessions has earned a presidential nomination as an administrator of justice. In 1986, President Reagan tapped him to serve as a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, but at the time the Senate found him too racist for the post, and he became the second nominee in fifty years to be denied an appointment.

During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sessions was pressed on accusations that he had called a black prosecutor “boy” and a white civil rights attorney“a disgrace to his race.” He was called out on his comment that he thought that the Ku Klux Klan “was O.K. until I found out they smoked pot” and that the NAACP and ACLU were “trying to force civil rights down the throats of people.”

Michael Flynn has repeatedly made it clear that he draws no distinction between organizations like ISIS and Islam as a religion. In the past, he has tweeted that fear of Muslims is “RATIONAL” (emphasis his) and that “Arab & Persian world ‘leaders’” must renounce “Islamic ideology.”

Flynn and Sessions will work in the Trump administration alongside white nationalist figurehead Steve Bannon, the president-elect’s chief strategist. That will make for at least three overt racists serving at the highest levels of government under President Trump.

Shortly after the Flynn and Sessions picks were announced, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke celebrated the news on Twitter:

In fact, out of the five major staffing decisions Trump has made since his presidential transition began, the majority have elevated figures defined by their hostility toward people of color. The other two were Koch Industries favorite Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS), Trump’s pick to lead the CIA, and Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus, who will serve as White House chief of staff.

Five names, three giveaways to white supremacists. Anyone who thought that Bannon’s elevation was an isolated occurrence, or that he would be a marginal figure in the new regime, should know better by now. The doctrine of the Trump administration will be white nationalism.

Why don't racists at SMU want white women to date Black men? White Plus Black = Colored, White Plus Brown = Colored

From [HERE] and [HERE] Adding to the surge in election-related hate crime and harassment by racist whites against non-whites, last Sunday morning, multiple racist flyers titled “Why White Women Shouldn’t Date Black Men” were found on Southern Methodist University’s Dallas campus. 

Underneath those words, were lines that included:

• “He’s much more likely to abuse you”

• “He’s much more likely to have STDs”

• And: “Your kids probably won’t be smart”

The university on Tuesday released a statement calling the fliers “offensive” and saying that “concerned students” have met with the school’s Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, and plan to do so again.

The university said in its statement. “SMU condemns the racist and hateful message in these fliers. These messages have no place at SMU and are in opposition to SMU’s values and commitment to an environment free from discrimination.”

Right. 

Question: What is the real reason racists do not want white women/men to date Black men/women?

Answer: White people are vanishing.

The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that by 2047 non-white persons will be the majority of the US population. Since 2013, census figures have also showed that for the first time in U.S. history, the majority of babies are non-white.  Since 2013 more white people have died in the United States than were born. Furthermore, the Census Bureau says that the ranks of white Americans will likely drop with every passing year. No other group showed a similar falloff. [MORE] 

By the year 2073 the white population will represent fewer than 3% of the people on the planet. Were you aware that the world is over 90% non-white? The so-called caucasian's most basic fear still remains genetic annihilation in the form of fear of the impending Brown Planet.  

White people are genetic recessive. In general, this means they cannot reproduce white offspring when they have sexual relations with non-whites. The white "race" can be replaced or "genetically annihilated" through such assimilation or social intermingling with non-whites;

White plus Black equals Colored.

White plus Brown equals Colored.

White plus Yellow equals Colored.

As whites have been consistently declining, Black and Brown populations are surging.[MORE] and [MORE] and [MORE]. 

White people practice racism to survive -- the operating system of white supremacy functions to keep them alive.  Indeed, as stated by Dr. Welsing, "if white people had not created such a global system in which they established power over the world's non-white majority, the white collective would have been genetically extinct a long time ago." 

As stated by Cress Welsing, "the war for white genetic survival is conducted simultaneously on nine battle fronts: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and (military) war."

Because Blacks and other non-white people have failed to understand racism as white genetic survival, they erroneously have believed that they could be integrated into the white supremacy system. Blacks and other non-whites have failed to understand that if white people were to do this, it would mean active white participation in white genocide. Non-white people must master this perception of racism as a war for white genetic survival, a system into which non-white people never can be integrated." 

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explained that [among other things] numerical inadequacy drives white folks to practice racism - to survive and to maintain control of non-whites. [MORE]. Her color confrontation theory explained that the more the white population shrinks the worse its conduct toward non-whites will get.

According to Dr. Welsing, racism is a system of white behavior and survival: "genetic annihilation is the fundamental motivation of people who classify themselves as White, whether it is conscious and/or subconsciously determined. In other words: what the White Collective is doing on the planet is engaging in racist behaviors—in economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and more—in order for them to survive.

Two Psychopathic White Men in South Africa forced a Black man into a coffin & recorded repulsive video

The Psychopathic Racial Personality From [HERE] and [HERE] Victor Mlotshwa was just walking along, minding his own business, when the unthinkable happened.

“There was a footpath there, and I decided to use it,” he said. “The next thing, there was a grave and then a coffin. There was nothing I could do because the other man had a gun.”

Two white men suddenly approached him and accused him of trespassing on a ranch. Before Mlotshwa could escape, he says, they forced him into a coffin nearby. Then he says they threatened to pour gasoline on him and light him on fire. One of the men captured part of the assault on video.

Toward the end of the video, which was taken down from YouTube on Tuesday but is preserved on social media accounts, one of the men tries to close the coffin over Mlotshwa's head while he helplessly wails. It is unclear what happened after that. But the resurfacing of the video has given Mlotshwa a chance at justice for his tormentors, almost three months after he says the incident took place.

“He didn't have evidence to prove what had happened, it's only two weeks back that he decided to open the case. He didn't think anyone would believe him,” Mlotshwa's brother, Thobile, told local media.

South African police were able to track down Willem Oosthuizen and Theo Martins Jackson, and the two appeared together in court Wednesday on charges of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. A judge decided that their trial would be postponed until January. They will remain in prison on remand.

[this epsiode reminds BW of the Derek Williams episode in Milwaukee. There, white cops allowed Williams to suffocate to death while handcuffed, naked from a strip search, in the back of a police car. He could not breathe after having been pounced on by white cops. He repeatedly told cops he couldn't breathe for at least 15 minutes between the time of his arrest and his death. They repeatedly ignored him, refused to provide medical attention as he suffocated to death - cop car as coffin [MORE]

At the court in Middelburg, in the eastern province of Mpumalanga, Mlotshwa sat just one row behind Oosthuizen and Jackson.

The court was packed to capacity. Members of South Africa's main political parties have lined up behind Mlotshwa. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), which campaigns for a more even distribution of wealth between white and black South Africans, in particular have taken up his cause and rallied hundreds of people outside the courtroom.

“This humiliation can be based on nothing else but his blackness, which means it is in actual fact a humiliation of black people as a whole,” the EFF said in a statement. They have called for mass protests at the ranch where the incident occurred.

Black people make up 80 percent of South Africa's 54 million population yet most of the economy remains in the hands of white people, who account for about 8 percent of the population. [sounds like the rest of the world, which is 90% non-white). 

White Media Plays Dumb, asking "Why Do White Women Continue to Back the GOP?" Answer: Racism/White Supremacy

Since last Tuesday white folks have been playing a pretend game to keep Blacks & Latinos asleep; talking about 'why did white folks vote for Trump?' Yesterday, the Atlantic asked "Why Do White Women Continue to Back the GOP?" The answer is white supremacy/racism. White women also practice racism and identifed with a racist campaign. Dr. Varius Blynd's Funktionary explains the following dose of reality: 

racist suspect - any white person who is capable of practicing racism against non-whites. In general if a Caucasian is able to be a Racist (White Supremacist), he or she may be one and should be presumed to be racist. According to Neely Fuller as long as white supremacy exists every person classified as 'white' should be suspected of being Racist. Since all whites are able to practice racism in a white supremacy system if they choose to do so, it is correct (and logical) to use the term "racist suspects" to identify whites who do not openly function as white supremacists (racists) . Caucasians who do nothing to oppose white supremacy are its silent partners benefiting from this worldwide social political economic arrangement of domination. Those who do nothing about it or cooperate with it are also racist/white supremacist. Noted psychiatrist Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, has stated, "people who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice."

Federal judge orders Flint Michigan to deliver bottled water to each household: four cases of bottled water per week per resident

From [HERE] A federal judge in Michigan on Thursday ordered [opinion, PDF] the city of Flint to deliver bottled water to its residents after the town switched to a more affordable water source that resulted in lead contamination. The plaintiffs initially filed a preliminary injunction accusing the city of violating the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) [text, PDF] and requesting both immediate and long term relief. Judge David Lawson granted the injunction, ruling that public interest and necessity overruled the defendant's argument that relief would create a heavy financial burden. Flint is about 60% Black. [MORE] The water crisis has lasted 30 months. [MORE] and [MORE]

How the water crisis is resolved ultimately will be left to the City of Flint and the State of Michigan. Nonetheless, there is an immediate danger to Flint residents, and the nature of the defendants' violations reasonably justify the relief ordered herein. There is already a water distribution mechanism in place, so the relief the plaintiffs seek in light of what is already being provided may be a far less drastic than the defendants believe. The public interest factor favors the plaintiffs.

As per the judge's order, the city must provide each household with four cases of bottled water per week per resident. 

Numerous lawsuits have been filed in response to the Flint water contamination crisis. Last month a federal judge ruled [JURIST report] that Flint residents can sue state officials over the recent water crisis. In May the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People brought a lawsuit [JURIST report] against against Michigan officials for their action and inaction in Flint. A month prior a group of Flint residents filed an administrative complaint [JURIST report] against the Environmental Protection Agency for negligence in handling the Flint water crisis. David Leyton, a prosecutor in Genesee County, Michigan, announced in April that a Michigan judge would allow criminal charges [JURIST report] against three people involved in the water crisis in Flint, including the man who supervised the treatment plant as well as two state environmental officials. Earlier in April the city of Flint filed [JURIST report] an intent to sue letter with the state, claiming that the city lacks funds to defend itself against lawsuit filed during the water crisis. Hertz Schram PC, a southeastern Michigan firm, filed [JURIST report] a class action lawsuit in March on behalf of the children in Flint who were injured by exposure to the high levels of lead in the city's drinking water.

SPLC finds Over 200 Incidents of Hateful Harassment & Intimidation by White People Since Election Day

From [HERE] Reports of hateful intimidation and harassment erupted across social media networks in the wake of the presidential election Tuesday night. 

Pulling from news reports, social media, and direct submissions at the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, the SPLC had counted 201 incidents of election-related harassment and intimidation across the country as of Friday, November 11 at 5pm. These range from anti-Black to anti-woman to anti-LGBT incidents. There were many examples of vandalism and epithets directed at individuals. Often times, types of harassment overlapped and many incidents, though not all, involved direct references to the Trump campaign. Every incident could not be immediately independently verified.

Anti-Black and Anti-immigrant incidents were far and away the most reported with anti-Muslim being the third most common. The category of "Trump" consisted of incidents where there was no clear racially defined target, like the pro-Trump vandalism of a "unity" sign in Connecticut. [MORE]

In New Southwest Airlines Commercial Blacks are Serving Whites 'Any Way They Want It' in Racist System of Unequal Power

Voters in 3 states approve measures to strengthen Death Penalty = State Approved Murder of Blacks

Marshall Project

You can hold off on those stories about the demise of capital punishment in America, at least as far as public opinion goes. Voters in three states, two reds and a blue, decisively endorsed capital punishment in a series of ballot initiatives decided late Tuesday into Wednesday.

In California, voters appear to have rejected a measure that would have repealed the death penalty and at the same time by a smaller margin endorsed a measure whose sponsors contend will expedite executions in the Golden State. The results, a crushing blow to capital abolitionists in the state and around the country, nevertheless guarantees years of additional litigation over the new procedures designed to empty the nation’s largest death row.

In Nebraska, voters decisively turned on their own legislators and restored the death penalty. Lawmakers repealed capital punishment in 2015, citing its costs among other factors, but Gov. Pete Ricketts led an expensive campaign to bring back executions. His message clearly resonated in a state that has 10 death row inmates who have been in limbo for the past 18 months. The “repeal the repeal” movement won by margins as large as 4-1 in some counties outside of Lincoln and Omaha, reported the World-Herald.

Finally, in Oklahoma, a state with a chaotic recent history of executions, voters overwhelming shored up their state’s death penalty by amending the constitution to confirm that capital punishment is not “cruel and unusual punishment” under the Eighth Amendment and to give legislators the power to change the methods of execution if one is declared unconstitutional.

Smug, Ineffective Clinton Campaign Would Prolly also Fuck Up Jello [HATE is Stronger than Like/indifference]

The WhiteLash: Racist White Lives Matter. First in 2008 the arrogant, entitled HRC folks overlooked Obama and failed to strangle him in the crib allowing his campaign to blow up and now this. [Only a loser could lose a fixed fight.] From HERE] Donald Trump's angry, hateful talk about Latinos and African-Americans failed to send enough voters in these groups into the arms of Hillary Clinton.

Some 88% of black voters supported Clinton, versus 8% for Trump, who said repeatedly that black communities are in the worst shape ever.

While that's a large margin, it's not as big as President Barack Obama's victory over Mitt Romney in 2012. Obama locked up 93% of the black vote to Romney's 7%.

Clinton's hold over Latinos was even more tenuous, despite Trump accusing undocumented immigrants of being criminal aliens and promising to deport them.

Only 65% of Latinos supported her, while 29% cast their votes for Trump. In 2012, Obama won 71% of the Hispanic vote, while Romney secured 27%. [MORE]

Polling conducted earlier this year found that 65 percent of Trump supporters believe Obama is a Muslim; 59 percent believe Obama wasn’t born in the United States; 40 percent believe blacks are more “lazy” than whites; 31 percent support banning homosexuals from the country; 16 percent believe whites are a superior race; and 20 percent disagree with Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed Southern slaves.

Undeceiver, Neely Fuller plainly states, "Most white people hate Black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you."

A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump! [MORE]

Amos Wilson breaks it down as follows:

'The Republican party is notorious for the strategy that requires the party to agitate latent emotional resentment and turn them into marketable political traits. The new raw materials for this are drawn from enduring social aggravations — wounds of race, class and religion, even sex. This strategy which centers around projecting the idea that the White populace is threatened by over­whelming alien forces, particularly Black criminals, non-white immigrants and Blacks demanding welfare and special entitlements, is not a strategy for governance. Again, as Greider notes, "The party's method deliberately coaxes emotional responses from people — teases their anxieties over values they hold important in their own lives — but then walks away from the anger and proceeds to govern on its real agenda, defending the upper-class interest of wealth and corporate power." He concludes that "The Republican party is not a party of conservative ideology. It is a party of conservative clients. Wherever possible, the ideology will be invoked as justification for taking care of the client's needs. When the two are in conflict, the conservative principles are discarded and the clients are served.'

Wilson further explains that many whites see "Blacks as the Primary Impediment to Governing." He states, at the center of American politics and governance stands the alien presence of Black America. This presence is White America's number one domestic issue and problem. This presence in its own peculiar way very significantly defines the shape and character of the collective White American psyche and body politic. This group, the Afrikan American community, intrudes disturbingly into White consciousness as insistently and persistently as White America seeks to exclude it from its midst and to deny and distort its reality through projective and self-deceptive stereotyping processes. Thomas and Mary Edsall cut right to the heart of the matter in their introductory remarks to an article titled "Race" published in the Atlantic Monthly (May, 1991):

Race is no longer a straightforward, morally unambiguous force in American politics; instead, considerations of race are now deeply imbedded in the strategy and tactics of politics, in competing concepts of the function and responsibility of government, and in each voter's conceptual structure of moral and partisan identity. Race helps define liberal and conservative ideologies, shapes the presidential coalitions of the Democratic and Republican parties, provides a harsh new dimension to concern over taxes and crime, drives a wedge through alliances of the working classes and the poor, and gives both momen­tum and vitality to the drive to establish a national majority inclined by income and demography to support policies benefitting the affluent and the upper-middle class. In terms of policy, race has played a critical role in the creation of a political system that has tolerated, if not supported, the growth of the disparity between rich and poor...'

The Edsalls give further evidence of the antipathy many in the White American nation have for Afrikan Americans in reporting the results of an analysis of the attitudes of White "Reagan democrats," i.e., White, nominally Democrats who supported Ronald Reagan and Republican party politics during the past decade. Their study found that many working class, non-college educated whites express a profound distaste for blacks, a sentiment that pervades almost everything they think about government and politics. Blacks constitute the explanation for these white voters' vulnerability and provide an explanation for almost everything that has gone wrong in their lives; not being black is what constitutes being middle class; not living with blacks is what makes a neighborhood a decent place to live ... These sentiments have important implications for Democrats, as virtually all progressive symbols and themes have been redefined in racial and pejorative terms ....

The special status of blacks is perceived by almost all of these individuals as a serious obstacle to their personal advancement. Indeed, discrimination against whites has become a well-assimi­lated and ready explanation for their status, vulnerability and failures.'

Colin Kaepernick comments on election hoax 2016: "what is this country really standing for?"

Colin Kaepernick spoke of the 'oppression of Black people that is done systematically' and the illusion of this election. That took courage.  Dr. Frances Cress Welsing explained that most Black people fear confronting white supremacy/racism. Many Blacks are dominated by this fear. Taking your head out of the sand to face the mirror is a risk in a racist society. In all areas of people activity, elite whites quickly filter out Blacks not controlled by the crowd and handsomely reward those most effectively programmed for their own destruction. (It is easy for advocates & certain public persons to do and say things their audience expects them to do and say - there is no risk involved). Can you openly confront racism/white supremacy in your current position, job or business? Don't look before you leap. [Mind is the problem.]

According to the Funktionary:

Elections - The advanced auction of stolen goods. 2) rituals where periodically citizen-subjects are called upon to "participate" in the staged hoax ratification of one group of state managers or another, which provides the comforting illusion of "democracy" where none exists. 3) Dumbocracy in action; stage prop to enable the puppeteer and his puppeticians to pull the strings of you and me. 4) show and shell games. 5) the orchestration and preservation of the illusion of choice and open competition.

According to Bhagwan

Courage - Means going into the unknown in spite of all the fears. Courage does not mean fearlessness. Fearlessness happens if you go on being courageous and more courageous. That is the ultimate experience of courage -- fearlessness; that is the fragrance when the courage has become absolute. But in the beginning there is not much difference between the coward and the courageous person. The only difference is, the coward listens to his fears and follows them, and the courageous person puts them aside and goes ahead. The courageous person goes into the unknown in spite of all the fears. He knows the fears, the fears are there.

When you go into the uncharted sea, like Columbus did, there is fear, immense fear, because one never knows what is going to happen and you are leaving the shore of safety. You were perfectly okay, in a way; only one thing was missing -- adventure. Going into the unknown gives you a thrill. The heart starts pulsating again; again you are alive, fully alive. Every fiber of your being is alive because you have accepted the challenge of the unknown.

To accept the challenge of the unknown in spite of all fears, is courage. The fears are there, but if you go on accepting the challenge again and again, slowly slowly those fears disappear. The experience of the joy that the unknown brings, the great ecstasy that starts happening with the unknown, makes you strong enough, gives you a certain integrity, makes your intelligence sharp. For the first time you start feeling that life is not just a boredom but an adventure. Then slowly slowly fears disappear; then you are always seeking and searching for some adventure.

But basically courage is risking the known for the unknown, the familiar for the unfamiliar, the comfortable for the uncomfortable arduous pilgrimage to some unknown destination. One never knows whether one will be able to make it or not. It is gambling, but only the gamblers know what life is.

An African delegation to Moscow was being treated to all aspects of Russian culture. One of the secret service agents was telling an African how to play Russian roulette with a six-shooter handgun with only one bullet in the chamber.

"You put it to your head," he said, "and pull the trigger." The African was not impressed. "African roulette is much more fearsome!" he said.

"Impossible!" exclaimed the Russian, "Please explain."

"There are six naked women," said the African, "and each one will give you a blowjob -- you just choose any one." "That needs no courage," sneered the Russian.

"Aha!" exclaimed the African. "But one of them is a cannibal!"
