I don't expect you to open your eyes but here is a definition of victim mentality.

Quote:
The victim mentality is a self-defeating pattern which does one of two things, or more commonly both together.
The victim mentality causes you to think that you cannot make the changes in your life that you desire to make because of others, for reasons that you cannot define, mysteriously "have it out" for you and wish you ill will, and thus they do things to set you back, harm you emotionally, etc.

I'm really sorry you're offended. That was not my intention.
I'm actually one of the good guys.... but I'm sure you don't believe that.

Try to have a nice day.

Your OP post stated that black people are victims and, as such, can not be held responsible for their actions. Was this a sincere or sarcastic post?

If you read the article I posted a link to, I think you'll be able to figure out what I meant.

I sincerely wish you a good, happy, blessed day!!!

Would rather hear a person's opinion than try to decipher what they meant via an article (because my take on the article could be completely different from your own). In any event, I will assume you meant no harm and we can both move on and continue to have a great day (it is, after all *Friday*).

Yes, individual Blacks can be racists. But, generally as a race, blacks are not a racists people. Whites on the other hand are generally racists group of people. Not all whites, because some of them have overcome their bigotry. But as a race overall, the white race of people are racists.

Generally, black people turn or feel racists against the white race as a result of the treatment (racism) they suffered by whites. Therefore, in certain instances the racism blacks have against whites is somewhat justified. For example, the Apartheid system of South Africa and Black slavery in the United States.
