The Zebra Reminds Me Of Black People

Reading Off Whiteness IV wrote: The zebra reminds me of black people. The zebra thinks just because the lion has let the zebra drink side by side with it at the pond that not all lions think zebras are prey. Although that thinking by the zebra benefits the lions, it is certainly detrimental to the zebra. For if lions could get a few zebra to think in the same confused manner as the one drinking beside it, the lions hunting would be made easy. The lion will allow the zebra to leave unharmed because there may be other zebra witnessing from a distance what has taken place believing they too can do the same.
The moral of the story is the nature of the lion has not changed, the lion has simply refined its hunting tactics to make the zebra think that it has. Just because you are now able to drink water, eat, work, and play next to white people does not mean that their nature has changed, white people simply refined the system to make you think they have.

Pressure Points

By
Pressure points are vital points or weak points of the body where a blood vessel or a nerve is very close to the skin. Pressure on these points can cause pain, injury or even death if an atemi (blow) is applied. Only some martial arts as Hapkido, Aikido, Jujutsu, Karate, Kyusho Jutsu, and certain styles of Kung Fu include pressure points in their teachings. There are about 300 pressure points on the human body, but very few are used in martial arts. http:// www.martialartsdo.org/ articles/humanbody/ pressurepoints.php
