>On both St. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts…. If his sweetheart ingests "chocolate with nuts", the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male…. Is it not also curious that when white males are young and vigorous, they attempt to master the large brown balls, but as they become older and wiser, they psychologically resign themselves to their inability to master the large brown balls? Their focus then shifts masochistically to hitting the tiny white golf balls in disgust and resignation — in full final realization of white genetic recessiveness.

>White male homosexuality may be viewed as the symbolic attempt to incorporate into the white male body more male substance by either sucking the penis of another male and orally ingesting the semen, or by having male ejaculate deposited in the other end of the alimentary canal. Through anal intercourse, the self-debasing white male may fantasize that he can produce a product of color, albeit that the product of color is fecal matter.

White people are the mutant, inferior offshoot of the black African race. Whites were expelled from the mainstream of human society because of their inferiority and are now terrifically protective of their uniqueness because they are culturally and consciously aware that "whiteness" is a genetic error that is constantly corrected by nature, which tends to return hue-man beings to their naturally darker state.

>That in the evolution of the species, in what some people call the Ontogenetic evolution of humankind, that in the evolution of the species the human family separated in a sense that one branch of the family stopped its evolutionary path and simply depended upon the central nervous system as the total machinery for understanding reality. Whereas, the root of the family continued its path and not only evolved a central nervous system but developed what I called at that time an essential melanic system. And that I even went so far as to try to develop a little formula and suggested that CNS + EMS = HB. CNS (Central Nervous System) + EMS (Essential Melanic System) = HB (Human Being). That the central nervous system combined with the essential melanic system is what makes you human. That, in fact, to be human is to be Black. To be human is to be Black.

Living in the last great nation to abolish slavery can give you a perfect sight of how history affected us. Slavery is the doom of every empire.... Just look at the world now, the north which never seen slavery is considered rich and developed and the south who was constantly ravaged by it is a shithole.

No they don't. (At this point you should've realized that the minorities who have the time and education to write novels are privileged ones with precious few problems.)

>go back to tumblr.
I'm not even liberal. It's just painfully obvious that /pol/'s obsession with niggers is due solely to the fact that /pol/ are beta faggots who feel threatened by the false idea of niggers' "alphaness".
