"I have been saying that the best way to make a revolution succeed in Japan is to string together the distinguished figures of Japan's political, financial, and cultural worlds, everyone in the so-called ruling forces, and make them walk naked through Ginza. Faced with that ugliness, the masses would immediately understand the reality of the power that rules them. They would understand directly that it is not beauty that rules this world. A revolution of beauty would surely break out immediately."—Yukio Mishima, "The Aesthetics of Manliness," 1969

Its time to kneel on the neck of MLK's legacy. He was a trashy anti-white communist agitator.
When Americans worship MLK, they are worshiping their enemy like whipped curs.
