Protecting the Feared

Magazine Calls Rihanna the 'Ultimate Nigger Bitch'

2011-12-20T15:38:00.005Z

When Whites are caught being White supremacist, they claim it as a joke that was not meant to harm, yet pretend to offer sorrow for the harm they know they have intentionally caused. Why make jokes about others' suffering, unless you have something profound to say? Eva HOEKE is a White supremacist who thinks supremacist humor is OK, so long as no White complains. (Whites clearly believe that all Blacks come from Jamaica when, in fact, they were transported there as slaves.)

Rihanna comes from Barbados, not Jamaica, so this is not only White supremacist journalism it is poorly-researched. Because Whites regularly-stereotype Blacks, they do not believe they have to discover the truth about them; hence, one learns little about Rihanna from the article and everything about the White supremacist intentions of the author.

Whites are terrified of Black sexuality; seeing it as natural and spontaneous - unlike their own. Whites fear that Blacks will become sexually attractive to enough repressed Whites to induce sufficient miscegenation such that White birth rates will decline and Blacks increase. Such a demographic shift would give Blacks more of the political power that White supremacist immigration controls are designed to suppress. The author is sexually-aroused by Rihanna and is trying to mock his own feelings of sexual self-disgust by mocking her; the fear being of what his parents would say if he presented a Black woman as a potential spouse. Would they touch or kiss Black grandchildren or go anywhere near them?

Better an English girl than a Yankee!

Fascinating Black History Month type movie that perfectly encapsulates - like no other - the ambivalent feelings Whites have about the White supremacism that built their present-day culture. Here there is a constant attempt to whitewash slavery by not presenting it as it really was and, simultaneously, by claiming there was something noble about living high on the hog of Black misery - on land stolen from Indians. This, bizarrely, is presented as a romantic ideal; without political commentary or irony. Hardly surprising then that despite the mass of special features presented here not a single Black person could be found to praise the film - not even from among those featured in it.

The inherent White supremacism of the movie is exacerbated by political correctness that uses words like "pretty" and "civilized" to speak of a culture based on genocide is a cognitively-impaired use of such terms. And yet no White here is shown-up as mentally-ill. Eschewing Margaret Mitchell's overt White supremacism, the movie of her one and only novel tries to evade the issue - and that of secessionism - to avoid offending anyone. There are no "Niggers" or Ku Klux Klan in this movie and so it focuses on a complex love story rather than ethics.

The reason this film works as brilliantly as it does - but only as drama (not history) - is because of superb performances, vivid cinematography, excellent writing, superlative direction - all of which achieve a combination that is well-nigh perfect. White supremacism never seemed so reasonable - as if morality were relative rather than absolute; as if the material benefits of anti-Semitism were being celebrated (SS officers as chivalrous knights) while healthy Jews are worked to death to pay for it all. This expresses the problem for Whites today, how to account for the wealth of the West without reference to slavery and imperialism. Turning it into a love story is no real answer - except for guilt-ridden Whites.

It is hard to feel empathy for a people who, despite so-called "gumption" and lack thereof, are always going to be more successful because of the moral value attached to their skin color by Whites. "Gumption" thus becomes a synonym for an Old Boy Network and/or collective narcissism that obviates the need for a superhuman effort to survive a culture that has gone with the wind. Yet despite Scarlett O’Hara's manipulativeness, immaturity, narcissism and egomania (symptomatic of many Whites) she still holds your attention throughout: A testament to the same qualities in her impersonator, Vivien LEIGH.

Business-wise, this is a rare example of a brilliant film effectively directed by its producer: Forget about Citizen Kane, this is probably the best, most popular film ever made.

Whites unable to reclaim their culture without revealing how White supremacist it is

White Guilt Is Counterproductive

2011-01-19T12:36:00.002Z

(Image: http://kittywampus.wordpress.com/)

whites are only ever concerned when a fact is counterproductive for them

The problem here is obvious. Whites want to evade guilt for their unearned privilege, so claim guilt is counterproductive. Yet Blacks know better than Whites that the guilt Whites experience because of that unearned privilege is the just punishment for the existence of such privilege. The gulf between the two sides is always going to be wide so long as this fact is not clearly understood, accepted and acted upon.

Guilt is a painful experience that requires great effort and courage to overcome; courage and industry that Whites lack precisely because White privilege encourages Whites to become complacent and lazy - especially ethically. If you look at the guilt pedophiles possess because of what they do to children and the fact that none of their kind has ever been cured of the desire for sex with children, you can see how far Whites still have to go to cure themselves of the inferiority complexes known more commonly as White supremacism and Negrophobia.

The function of guilt is to alert the guilty to the fact that they have done wrong - either absolutely or in relation to their moral values. Guilt is thus the starting point for self-reappraisal and change. To re-label guilt as counterproductive, as Tim Wise foolishly does, is to say that guilt is irrelevant and useless. This is the same as saying that a fire alarm is irrelevant when there is a fire - even though it would result in no action being taken to put out the fire. This proves that White guilt and shame are still so pervasive and so profoundly felt that Whites still desperately try to evade its inevitably-negative consequences and, in the process, damn Blacks to being always treated by Whites as genetic inferiors.

The solution is for Whites to exploit their guilt constructively and not simply self-indulgently wallow in it as White anti-racists do, by effectively challenging their own unearned privileges (as Time Wise, Robert Jensen, Noel Ignatiev & others have done) and learn to stand on their own two feet as grown-ups do. Of course, this requires that Whites put themselves in the firing line usually referred to as becoming a Nigger-lover, and how many Whites are really willing to put their own lives on the line to protect those of Blacks? Like the question every US Secret Service agent has to consider - would you use your own body to stop a bullet aimed at the President? - trying to evade the unevadable - Guilt - is never going to answer this question nor is it going to enable Whites to mature as people, into people, and so unreconstructed Whites will always be the emotional and ethical cripples they currently choose to remain. And children always choose what gives them pleasure because they have not yet learned adult responsibility and have never been taught this so do not know any better.

Kittywampus deliberately equates feeling guilty with renouncing privilege - even though they are unrelated - in order to vainly get around her own feelings of guilt. All that is being asked is that unearned privileges be renounced. Whites are not required to forgo college but they are required to prove that they have a right to be there over and above their Whiteness. Few Whites can do this. To claim that guilt paralyses and is solipsistic is a self-fulfilling prophecy that encourages running away from it and living in denial. It is only these things for people who choose it to be these things. Kittywampus's problem is her lack of experience of human variation - a typically White supremacist stance that proves her attempt to hijack the national debate on White supremacism in favor of Whites. No-one can ever be responsible without acknowledging the power of guilt in our lives, for only in this way is redemption possible. After all, redemption without guilt would be as meaningless as sex without love. This is the usual White attempt at success without achievement characteristic of their apartheid-style political life.

150-year African-European war

2011-01-13T15:22:00.029Z

(Adapted from: Molefi Kete Asante)

One shakes a dog and one will shake a dog's owner.
African proverb

When the European slave trade ended in the nineteenth-century, after being initiated by Portugal in 1500, Europe was not finished with the exploitation of Africa. What energy was left in Africa after the denuding of its younger population would now be drained by the political and economic vultures of the European and north American continents.

Between 1807, when Great Britain banned the slave trade, to 1957, the date the Gold Coast became independent and chose the name of the ancient empire of Ghana, a long, bitter, continental war was fought over the wealth of Africa.

Africa had not declared war on of Europe - Europe had declared war on Africa: It would not be a conventional war. White Europeans would fight with intrigue, guile, avarice, betrayal and massacre. Black Africans would fight with guerilla tactics, sabotage, non-cooperation with European settlers and the destruction of crops and business. When it was over, Africa had regained its political independence. However, suspicion in the relationship between Africans and Europeans is now as endemic as the struggle to relinquish the psychological grip on the continent resulting from having been oppressed by Whites for so long.

By the beginning of the nineteenth-century, Britain stood alone in Europe as both the master of the seas and the possessor of the largest slave-running operation. Slave ships sailed into the Atlantic, heading south for the west coast of Africa loaded with trinkets, beads, blankets and bangles. These, the slave traders would barter with various African communities in order to gain access to African villages - and their populaces. Once they had loaded their ships with Black Africans, the slavers turned toward the Americas with their human cargo. They would then sell the kidnappees to other Whites in return for loading their vessels with rum and cotton for the markets of Europe. This was the triangular slave trade: To Africa; the Middle passage to the Americas; and then, back to Britain.

the stage is set

Between 1492 and 1885, Europe's continental powers were unchallenged by any other area of the world. The theft of hundreds of tons of precious metals and minerals from the Americas enriched Europe. The uprooting of millions of Black Africans during the same period resulted in their exploitation as slaves. The unrelenting hundred-year low-intensity assaults of the Moroccan armies on the powerful Songhay Empire (successor to the Ghana & Mali Empires) served to offer up the prize of Africa to the quickest and most cynical European players. Overthrowing that Empire in 1594 meant disintegration of Africa's western flank; allowing the cutting-up of Africa between competing European nations. Because of the maritime nature of the exploitation, Europe's reach was global and White Europeans acted in concert in the rape of Africa.

the Berlin conference

At the request of German chancellor Otto Von Bismarck, came the leading figures of Europe and some United States delegates in 1885 to a conference on Africa. This was the first European conference to decide the fate of an entire continent. The European nations had already robbed Africa of much of its youthful vigor and labor in the slave period. Now Whites could indulge in Current forms of exploitation: Settlerism, colonization and expropriation of the material bounty of the continent. Europe would simply declare its stakes over Africa without consulting African leaders' political, ethical and legal rights: Africans had no rights White nations believed they were required to heed. This kind of agreement among White Europeans had not happened in the case of Asia or the Americas. However, the immense size of Africa and the multiplicity of European interests involved, made it sensible to avoid internecine conflict between Whites since such conflict would lower profits. The slave trade taught White Europeans that it was futile to fight each other to control their interests: Asiento became the norm. (The Asiento [Spanish: asiento] in the history of slavery refers to the permission given by the Spanish government to other countries to sell slaves to the Spanish colonies, between the years 1543 and 1834. In British history, it usually refers to the contract between Spain and Great Britain created in 1713 that dealt with the supply of African slaves for the Spanish territories in the Americas. The British government passed its rights to the South Sea Company.) Now that Black slavery was about to end, White colonization could begin in earnest. This had been a land-grabbing free-for-all that achieved formal recognition using one-sided treaties.

African nations and kingdoms reacted defiantly and indignantly throughout the continent in thousands of incidents of resistance to the imposition of foreign influences. These were the continuation of the resistance to slavery itself, since they considered the White supremacist arrangement as neither natural, necessary nor permanent. The Black agitation for Whites to leave Africa and the arbitrary boundaries established by Whites plague Africa into the twenty-first century. They did this by dividing already-existing nations and ethnic groups into separate governments; while bringing groups that may have had enmity between them under the same government. Given the intensification of the industrial revolution in Europe, the Berlin Conference ensured Whites continued their commercial advantage in the labor and raw materials' markets.

(Exemplary story to be placed here about Congo and Henry Morton Stanley and the Force Publique.

The "Public Force" or Force Publique (FP) was the official armed force for what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1885, (when the territory was known as the Congo Free State), through the period of direct Belgian rule (1908 to 1960). Immediately following independence, the FP was retitled as the Congo National Army (ANC).^[1]

The FP was initially conceived in 1885 when King Léopold II of Belgium, who held the Congo Free State as his private property, ordered his Secretary of the Interior to create military and police forces for the State. Soon afterwards, in 1886, Leopold dispatched a number of Belgian officers and non- commissioned officers to the territory to create this military force. The officer corps of the Force Publique consisted entirely of whites. They comprised a mixture of Belgian regular soldiers and mercenaries from other countries who were drawn by the prospect of wealth or simply attracted to the adventure of service in Africa.

[edit]

Under the Congo Free State

Serving under these European officers were an ethnically-mixed African soldiery. Many were recruited from warrior tribes in the Upper Congo. Others were drawn from Zanzibar and West Africa. The role required of the Force Publique was to defend Free State territory and combat Arab slavers. Under Leopold however a major purpose of the force was to enforce the rubber quotas, and other forms of forced labor. Armed with modern weapons and the chicotte — a bull whip made of hippopotamus hide — soldiers of the FP often took and mistreated hostages (sometimes women, who were held captive in order to force their husbands to meet rubber quotas). Reports from foreign missionaries and consular officials detail a number of instances where Congolese men and women were flogged or raped by soldiers of the Force Publique, permitted to run amok by their officers and NCOs. They also burned recalcitrant villages, and there is photographic evidence that the FP soldiers took human hands as trophies, reportedly on the orders of Leopold to show that bullets had not been wasted. During the Free State period, the Force Publique suffered from institutional problems. During the early years of the force, mutinies of black soldiers occurred several times. By the early 1890s, much of the eastern portion of the Free State was under the control of Arab slave traders (though the Government was able to re-establish control over the east by the mid-1890s). Organizational problems were also quite prevalent during the Free State era. With many Force Publique detachments being stationed in remote areas of the territory, some officers took to using soldiers under their control to further private economic agendas rather than focusing on military concerns.^[2]

The Force Publique fought in the 1892–1894 war in the Eastern Congo against Tippu Tip.)

Reeling from the onslaught of European Black slavery, colonization and resource exploitation, African leaders and their nations were in a persistent war. Rebellions in Central Africa: Angola, Mozambique, Nyasaland, Ethiopia, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), Nigeria, Upper Volta (Burkina Faso), Somalia, Tucolor Empire, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Nyasaland (Malawi), South West Africa (Namibia), Tanganyika, Madagascar (Malagasy), Ghana, Dahomey and the Congo up until 1914. Under leaders such as Queen Yaa ASANTEWA, Mapondera, Kinjikitile Ngwale, Bambala, Mulama, Mensah SARBAH, Onyango DANDE, John CHILEMBWE, Sayyid Muhammad, Samori TURE, Ahmadu SEKU, King BEHANZIN, King IJEBU, Emperor MENELIK II (the most successful rebellion - in Ethiopia – at the battle of Adwa [Aduwa or Adowa]). What became clear in these struggles was that the White forces did not have more courageous soldiers nor any better generals but were in command of far greater firepower.

Personal Safety If Going Out Alone

People either stand on their own two feet or are parasites. The latter are a threat to the former since the latter choose not to feed themselves without trying to feed off the former. Otherwise the parasites would soon starve.

Proof of the above comes from crime statistics which demonstrate that people will go to extraordinary lengths to earn a living from the earned livings of others. Theft, fraud and assault are typical examples of the irrational behaviours of those who see others as means to ends.

If one values ones life, then one must adopt an ethical code to protect that life - along with the lives of those one also values. Such a code not only informs correct behaviour - to avoid becoming a parasite oneself - but is also the basis for determining the necessary political steps to self-protection.

The threats to consider spring mainly from appearing to be a victim and so becoming one since weak people always prey on those who are also weak. And from a culture that values conformity over indivudalism; meaning that people who dress differently - and so appear different - are seen as threats.

It therefore follows that reducing threats to ones life means becoming strong so as not to become carrion for the weak-minded who wish to feed off your flesh. Reducing the apparent difference between oneself and the majority with which one is surrounded. And avoiding as much contact as possible with the majority if you are a member of a minority and/or a generally-despised group.

Going out by yourself can seem intimidating, even frightening. Many people feel insecure, or unsafe when they go out alone, whether it's on a trip or just to a party. Feeling this way can dampen the enjoyment of going out, and sometimes, stop you going out at all.

There are definitely dangers to be aware of, but you can get around on your own. You can overcome your anxiety about such things and learn to differentiate between real danger and irrational fear or paranoia.

This article assumes you are a woman but if you're a man, there's plenty of useful information in here for you too.

Steps

Think about where you are going. What section of town is it? Will there be others there whom you know (friends, acquaintances)? If your destination is in a better section of town - that is, one that is well-lit, not known to be run down or rife with crime - then you are in much better shape going alone. If it's in a not-so-good section of town, think again. Overcoming your fears and anxieties is one thing but taking foolish and unnecessary risks is another. There really is safety in numbers so avoid parts of town where you will be in the minority after dark - and certainly never go there alone. If you are a woman, it is dangerous to go with men you do not know personally. If you are Black in a largely White country, it is dangerous to go with Whites you do not know personally. If you are poor, it is dangerous to go with affluent people you do not know personally.
Dress to impress. If
you're going out with pals, you can wear more risqué or daring outfits
than if going alone - it's just a fact that with others to watch your
back, you don't need to worry as much. Choose a fabulous cashmere sweater or business attire dressed up with a great scarf or elegant necklace.
Calling the wrong sort of attention to yourself when you're on your own
is not smart. Again, you should consider the type of clothing most
commonly worn by people in the part of the town you are going to. Try
to dress similarly to fit in to others and avoid drawing attention to
yourself as much as possible. If you are wealthy, you should not draw attention to it except by your self-confidence.
Make sure your car is in good order. Sounds silly? Not if you have a leaky tire valve. The last thing you need is to come out at two in the morning and find you have a flat. If you're hanging out alone, have a AAA or other roadside emergency service card with you as well as a charged cell phone. Fill your car up with gas

before you leave. Get a can of Fix-A-Flat and put it in the trunk,
along with a quart of oil and an empty milk jug to carry water in if
necessary. Just checking to make sure everything is cool before you get
going is a great step to give you peace of mind before you head out.
Tell someone where you are going and how long you plan to stay. You are not "putting yourself on a leash" or "cramping your own style." You're being smart by letting a family member or friend know where - and when - to start looking for you, worrying, etc.
- One good way to go about it is to tell your (for example) mom that you are "going to a party at Steve's house in Agoura this Saturday." You don't need to provide a GPS
  tracker, but it's smart to leave a MapQuest or Google map of your
  planned route. Tell your mom you will call when you're on your way
  home. Call Steve and tell him you're on your way as you are leaving the
  house. This way, if you don't arrive at the party, hopefully Steve will
  remember that you called to tell him you were coming, and will call
  your mom. Now, both parties realize that you left and never arrived at
  your destination - it gives them a faster start on finding you.
- If you left a map of your route, mom can alert the authorities to
  search along that route - your probli may be as simple as a flat tire
  or as serious as a crash,
  with you and your car in a ditch, and a dead cell phone battery -
  telling someone where you planned to be will help them find you much
  quicker. Conversely, if you call mom and tell her that you are in your
  car and leaving the party at 10pm, she will know that if you have not
  arrived by midnight, she should begin to worry. Cell phones have taken
  a lot of these worries away, because it's a simple matter to call most
  of the time.
- If your cell phone
  dies, or if you leave it at the party, or it is stolen, lost, or
  otherwise does not work, you have left word with people who will
  definitely become concerned after only an hour or two if you don't show
  up - it won't be half the night before someone even realizes you never
  showed up where you were supposed to. Knowing you have taken these
  simple precautions can boost your confidence significantly. Buy a cell phone and make sure it is on and set to vibrate for the entire time you are out - and fully-charged beforehand. Never use your cell phone out-of-doors - except in an emergency - since you then cease to be aware of your surroundings while using it.
Be alert and aware of your surroundings.
Before you get out of your car, think about where you have parked. Is
it well-lit, easy to see from the street? This is the best place to
park if alone. Avoid parking in dark alleys or very far away from the
door of your destination. Remember where you parked - this is very
important. Mentally map your path to the door of the place you're
going, take note of anyone on the street,
and gather your things quickly. Upon leaving your car, check carefully
that it is locked and you have left nothing enticing (like a laptop bag or an iPod)
in plain view. Walk purposefully - do not meander - directly to the
door and enter immediately. Lingering on the street is not a good idea,
it allows potential attackers to see that you are alone. Keep anyone
you noticed out on the street in your mind, and in the corner of your
eye, if possible. Being aware of the people around you is key to your safety. Do not talk on your cell phone - it will distract you.
Learn how to defend yourself. It's important to remember that you do not have to suddenly earn a black belt in karate or carry a knife around with you - but if you're generally insecure when you go out alone, knowing that you can take care of yourself can reassure you greatly. Train your senses so you will feel like you can look after yourself - be more observant, so that you will know if something is about to happen. If you travel or live in risky or dangerous areas, learn how to block punches, or think of how to avoid harmful incidents. Developing a more street smart attitude may seem silly, or pointless, but the simple knowledge that you can protect yourself will increase your confidence. Learn the use of firearms as well and be prepared to use them when necessary.
Get inside quickly, and once inside, relax and enjoy yourself responsibly.
Remember that there is no designated driver - you're it. Be aware of
what you are drinking. Do not leave your drink unattended for any
reason. If someone buys you a drink, make sure you watch the bartender
pour it. If you suspect your drink has been compromised, do NOT drink
it. Don't get drunk! If you do get drunk, don't plan on going home without calling a taxi or relative to collect you. But the rule here is not to get drunk since you cannot defend yourself from attack when you are. The inventor of alcohol was a fool who needed solace and those who copy him are just as stupid. Take a tip from the Muslims and the Hindus - just say 'No!'
Avoid sharing too much information with any stranger. Don't be naive and trust someone you do not know. The people you meet may be very nice people, or they may be not

very nice; it's easy to make an accurate judgement in just one
meeting so long as your instincts are well-honed and have been accurate in the past. The issue here is to judge by behaviour and not appearance since the former is a more accurate guide to character. If you get talking to a stranger look out for contradictions that reveal something to hide since no-one hides the good about themselves but the bad. Do not mention that you came alone. Say you are waiting for
friends to arrive or someone is picking you up soon. If you meet
someone you think is nice so far, make plans to meet in a coffee shop, at a restaurant, or at an amusement park, rather than giving out your home address or place of work. Giving out your cell phone number
is okay if you want to. The main idea is that you take time to really
know this person in order to objectively verify ones first impression. Over time, this has the added bonus of letting you know how accurate your first impressions are.
Remember that good people are like sunny days - there are lots of them.

Just because you're being careful doesn't mean you need to be afraid
that everyone is out there thinking about how to get one over on you. however, you should be prepared to be that unusual statistic who lands themselves in trouble. The only way to do this is honesty about oneself which makes it easier to judge others. Because human beings are identical - in essence - the more you know about yourself, the more you know about everyone else. This knowledge is invaluable in survival situations.
Relax and be yourself.
You won't have a good time if you don't relax. Once you've reached your
destination, settle in and resolve to have a good time, no matter what.
Most large gatherings turn out to be groups of small gatherings -
people tend to group together in smaller clusters, even if there are
loads of people in one place. Hang back a bit and "lurk", listening for
the kinds of people you would like to know as you overhear their conversations.
Try not to be obvious - just hang there, looking like you are
interested in someone outside that group (so that they don't get that
you're listening in.) Once you're sure you'd like to meet these people,
wait for an opportunity - one of them says something like, "I loved
_______ movie." (Assuming it's one you also loved) Quickly turn and
say, "I hope you'll excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing - I
loved that movie, too - wasn't it great? I love
(actor/actress/director) - I'll see anything s/he is involved in." This
is a little feeler, a way of seeing if you will be welcomed or rebuffed.
Feel welcomed. The
response you get from your little "barometer reading" (a way to sort of
test the weather in the group - are they warm and welcoming, or cold
and aloof?) will tell you everything you need to know: If the response
is, "Yeah, wasn't that great? I loved every minute of it..." or
something to that effect, you're in. You can now just pick up and chat
about that, and hopefully, stick with them for a little while, making
conversation as it flows naturally. Be sure you get an email address or a MySpace

or Facebook address so that you can stay in touch. If you do this, you
can wait a day or two, then send an email or a Facebook message saying,
"It was great to meet you the other night - maybe we can go to a movie
sometime!" Keep it short and leave it at that - don't stalk them. On
the other hand, if you are not welcomed ...
Feel unwelcome. Some cliques
are pretty tight and hard to penetrate. That's okay - don't take it
personally. If you try to interject and get in on the fun they're
having, but they give you a bad look or say, "Uhhh... yeah." and then
let it drop like a bomb, just shrug it off and move on - they may look
like fun, but if they're not nice people, they're not what you wanted
anyhow. Blow it off and try again somewhere else.
Brush up on your conversation skills. And while we're at it, it doesn't hurt to have interesting things to talk about

- if you don't know about anything and/or can't talk knowledgeably
about a variety of subjects, it makes you pretty dull. There's not a
lot to say if you don't know anything about current events (news, politics), pop culture (movies, TV, books),
or other interesting subjects. Inform yourself about things going on in
the world, and find ways to discuss them without seeming like a boring
know-it-all. It's a fine line - nothing to say = dull, no personality. Too much to say = obnoxious,
overbearing conversation hog. Remember that conversation is an art,
like a dance - you say something, then let them say something.
Leave knowing that you made a new friend or acquaintance. It's a good feeling to leave having had a fun conversation with someone new, or with someone's phone number

in your pocket, a new Facebook friend. But if you don't, never fear -
you can always try again! The more times you go out and try, the better
you will be at fending for yourself in these social situations, and as your skills grow, so will your contact list. Give it time.
Preparing to leave, take a close read of the street and then go straight to your car, then home.
Alone. If the guard or bouncer, or a group of other women you have met,
offer to walk you to your car, take them up on it. It is safer if such strangers are of the same gender or age or culture as yourself since they have less to gain from exploiting you. At the very least,
let someone know that you're going home now, and ask them to watch you
till you get in your car. Take a look around - know who is on the
street with you, and if you see an alley between you and your car, walk
in the middle of the street if necessary to give yourself plenty of
room to move if you need to. Walk purposefully and confidently to your
car, and when you get there, have your keys
ready and unlock the car as you are taking your last steps toward it.
Get in, and lock the doors immediately, buckle up, start your car and
drive away. Don't sit in your car fixing your make-up or fiddling with
your iPod or texting someone - get going.
Congratulate yourself - you did it! Being aware of yourself, your surroundings and being confident will help you survive. You've just realized you can go places on your own and survive - you can meet new friends, and have great times without
waiting to tag along with others.

Tips

Do Not help strangers. Any fracas that you see might just be a setup to rob you. Call the police, if you must, and give as much detail as you can but do not get involved - you could become a victim.
People who have the intent to rob or assault others often look for
easy targets - nervous types, retiring types, or people just wandering
and not really paying attention to their surroundings. Standing tall
and walking with purpose, being obviously aware of who and what are on
the street with you makes you look confident - not an easy target.
Many assaults, car-jackings, robberies, and homicidal attacks are
carried out on women sitting in their cars fumbling with money,
make-up, or their radios. Often, the doors are unlocked and the
attacker just slides right in. Don't make yourself this kind of target.
Instead, have your stuff together, get locked in, buckled up and on
your way. You can fiddle with your iPod at the next red light.
Think about making an emergency kit for your car. Having
some Fix-A-Flat, some motor oil, brake fluid, and automatic
transmission fluid (which can also be used as power steering fluid in
many cars) can save your whole night. If you add a couple of bottles of
water and a can of peanut butter or trail mix, it could even save your
life if you got into a serious jam. Other great items: emergency
blanket (very small, can fit in your back pocket when folded, but
reflects your body heat back to you and can keep you warm if you get
stuck in bad weather and can't start your car or use your heater);
survival knife - good sized blade, windshield smasher, seat belt
slicer; hand crank flashlight and a few lightsticks. Get one of those
nice organizing containers large enough to hold all your stuff, pack it
in your trunk, and just forget about it. Unless you really need it -
then you'll be so glad you were prepared!
Attract the right kind of attention - not the wrong kind.
Dressing in sexy, provocative attire, or wearing a lot of jewelery may
be cool once inside, but before you get to your destination, it's not
going to attract the kind of attention you want. Cover it up! Once
you're in, you can let it out, but remember to cover it again before
leaving!
Be smart - don't insist on going if there's an obvious
probli. If your car is hard to start or makes you feel nervous, if you
aren't feeling all that well, or if your mind is very focused on a
probli, don't go. You want to have a good time, not put yourself in a
dangerous situation. If there is an obvious trouble sign, stay home
with a book. Go out once the probli has been addressed instead.

Warnings:

Don't count money or check ID's on the street - that's an invitation to rob you. Stay alert and don't distract yourself while out on the street.
Don't space out when you're alone. Remember there is no one to depend upon but yourself. Stay alert and keep your wits about you at all times.
Avoid carrying items you cannot afford to lose.
