   That explains your ranting.  You've been faced with difficulty and
have cracked under the pressure.  If you'd let go of the hate for a
while then you might make better progress in both your crusade and
your degree...

 =}I find no pleasure in judging the action of others anymore.

   You seem to enjoy it considering all of the judging you've been doing
in your posts lately...

 =}I'm here and he indirectly hates me.

   Is that not the same as you are doing now?  Indirectly (or directly)
hating all whites because of what you judge to be the failings of some
of them?  Are you not holding all whites reponsible for incidents that
most whites have no control over?

 =}   By reading some of the comments on this forum
 =}I see why I seem to be shocking. You all won't and don't want to get
 =}into some of social injustices in Nihon like I am in here America
 =}because you do give a care.

   Again you misjudge.  We are shocked by your blantant racism (even
against those you are claiming to be trying to help).  You aren't the
only fish out there trying to stop a shark from feeding...

 =}But I see that he and his high morality are more valuable to
 =}Nihon than all ya'll fucking whiteboys put together.

   Apparently he's more valuable to Nihon than you.  His posts in this
group have reasonable and don't push racism or nationalism to an extreme.
Your posts are just seething masses of anti-white ethnocentric ranting
that certainly aren't good for anything...

 =}Ya'll ain't doing nothing socially for my fucked-up country.

   I'm glad to know that.  Now I can stop all of my volunteering,
speaking out, and educating.  To think I've wasted so many years of
my life trying to improve Japan-US relations when I could have saved
myself the trouble and just ranted like a fucking lunatic in this
newsgroup (not that I haven't come close at times)...  Thank you for
setting me straight.  Next week while I'm spending the entire week
doing volunteer translation for a group of US visitors at a Japanese
educational project, I can repeat all of your ranting to both sides
and accuse them of doing nothing to save the world.  That should really
brighten up relations...

 =}Third generation Koreans
 =}can't even vote. Listen to this young brother. If he was in beloved
 =}Nihon he may not understand the Baraku problem but at least he'll be
 =}able to express outloud, in public that that is wrong and unfair and
 =}shouldn't be. And, I would even go as far as to say that given the right
 =}tools he might even take on their struggle.

   You might be able to do that since they can't deport you.  But then
again, the neo nationalists do a pretty good job of keeping the really
loud protestors in the hospital...  Even for things like Narita airport
the baseball bats, knives, and guns get quite a workout...

   But for those of us who would get deported (or worse) for doing the
same thing realize that building a better world little by little is
better than leaving that world rather abruptly...

 =}Malcolm X did something for
 =}this proud people that white America(99.9%) don't have.

   Don't forget Ghandi, Mother Theresa, and myriads more.  Fighting with
love seems to get results in some cases...

 =}How do I expect you to care about the disadvantage in
 =}Nihon when you only came to my country to make money. Or, to take
 =}advantage of it's high educational oppurtunities and fuck everything
 =}else. As long as you make a pretty Yen?

   I didn't come to make money in Japan (I could be making far more in
the US).  I didn't come to Japan for high educational opportunities
(I won't laugh at that ignorance either).  I came to Japan to learn more
about Japan.  After seeing the situation I stayed to try and improve
things a bit (sound like what you're doing?).

   So what makes you any better than me?  Your arrogance is astounding...

 =}YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!

   I know, and I'm always trying to do better.  Why don't you?  You claim
to be trying to improve humanity's situation but you rant like an ignorant
racist (and supremist) and claim that everybody else is inferior...  YOU
can do better than this...
