โWar is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.โ โ George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell predicted our developing dystopian world in his book 1984. Sad to say, he was right. For years, I required my students to read it. However, to this day, they donโt understand what we lost or perhaps never had: freedom.
My mother was born in North Korea and managed to escape to South Korea but not to freedom. Most people donโt know that South Korea was also a totalitarian dictatorship.
So it is like escaping to China or Russia, you have simply entered into a different topography of hell ruled by different species of demons. I was born in the land of the southern demons, so we escaped to another land of demons called Japan. It is not a coincidence that I am considered one of the foremost Asian demonology experts in the world.
Actually, Korea was once a colony of Japan, so most older Koreans were forced to speak Japanese. Remember the emperor of Japan is considered the son of god, literally. Sound familiar? In Japan the Son is also the Sun, for Japanese were created by the Sun Goddess. Everybody is a slave to the Emperor or God.
The word samurai is close to meaning to the word slave, for samurai means to serve. Who do they serve? God, the Emperor. Keep in mind, it was not a coincidence that Christians go to Church on Sunday. It was chosen to appease the Romans. The irony is there is a burial place for Jesus in Japan. Also Korea was invaded by Chinese. Korea has eternally been hell.
In Japan, our lives were terrible because they hated us. So we moved to Italy. We wanted to move to America, but the marriage between my American father and a Korean mother was illegal. Whites did not live near blacks, nor people of color. Even today. Money prefers money. In 1968, the Supreme Court said, it was legally possible to have mixed marriages, so we moved to America.
Were we happy in America? No, our lives were oppressive because Americans hate Asians or people of color. Remember when Asians were put into work prisons during the war? I think of America as but another totalitarian regime, like Germany and Iran. Germany had a free economy, but not for Jews. I am part Jewish. My grandfather escapedย Germany. What is the difference?
Who was president in America in 1984? Ronald Reagan. Ask people of color what they think of Reagan as governor of California. I grew up in that nightmare he helped to create in the ghettos of Los Angeles, where all white people left, and no one even spoke English there. I spoke Korean and Spanish, never English.
Reagan was another leader, representing the master race, where we are just slave workers and freedom becomes an illusion. When the civil war ended, the constitution should have been burned and all of the monies from the founding fathers given back to all people of color and all women sex workers! The founding fathers were the master race who owned slaves, owned women sex workers and stole the land from Native Americans, who called white people cannibals. We forget it was tradition to eat your enemies in European history and most histories. Native Americans have different memories of those wars. Ask them. You will be shocked. I have and it makes me cry.
What exactly is America? Stolen property. Give it back! Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not kill.
RIGHT? Raise your Fist! Fist of Fury!
Repeat after meย .ย .ย . We had dance battles. None of my friends were ever white, I never date white women, and donโt ask me to worship a white god. When I was in middle school, all of us of color sat together and ate during lunch.
At night, we visited each otherโs homes. In the neighborhoods I lived in, we carried guns, knives, and other weapons. We all have battle wounds, and most of us wore leather because it protects from knife cuts. Many of us died on the battlefields, are still in prison, or committed suicide.
I had to teach my son to change and stay away from white people. Never date them. Never trust them, but always respect them. He listens. My black friend said he was taught the same from his father. My friend dresses well, talks articulately, smiles and is very kind always, even though his life has been about surviving one racial attack after another. I worked at a university for 30 years and was racially attacked all the time.
Thank you!
There is a reason Blacks love Kung Fu films. Those films were about oppression. China was invaded by Mongolians and Chinese were treated like slaves. They raised their fists of fury and fought back. Unfortunately, they never won. They were revolutionaries. Blacks understand slavery and being oppressed. Those films hit home. Blacks call me brother and raise their fists. I do too.
However, a one day stay is enough. I suffer from PTSD and can never sleep well. Yet despite everything, I do not hate whites.
