Full Tilt 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A.
1 fold, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, 3 folds, MP calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) J, K, 2 (2 players)
MP bets, Hero raises, MP calls. His donk just makes him look like a weak player

Turn: (5.75 BB) 4 (2 players)
MP bets, Hero raises, MP calls. Now I'm getting worried, he could have hit a set, two pair, or whatever, but after he just calls instead of raising I think I'm ahead

River: (9.75 BB) 4 (2 players)
MP bets, Hero raises, MP 3-bets, Hero calls. Damn it!

Final Pot: 16.75 BB

You can either call the river donk or raise and fold to a 3bet. I don't think you can call a 3bet here unless villian is a maniac.

The river donk screams, "I don't give a shite that you raised me twice... I've got the best hand beotch!"

#1) Call
#2) R/F

Never R/C

This sounds like a good read to me. And would expect to be beat here most every time. As such, I need some help seeing how a r/f can be profitable. What will donk into us on all 3 streets that we're ahead of and will call a third raise? KQ? A misplayed K2?

Am I being too passive by never raising this river bet?

No, just call river.
Villain probably hit his flush on the river. At that level I always see the donk/call donk/call donk line as a semibluff line with a good draw. It's a very bad line imo, very exploitable, but some villains cant help themselves.
Raising the river i think is futile. if his draw got there, you are beat, if it didn't he wont pay you off

I was actually really hoping for K2 and I interpretted the four to be a good card. Obviously not since he 3-bet me.

He would really be a bad player to raise K2 first in on the hijack
