Lets do away with this theory presented by egofed and GBA once and for all. Believe it or not, it isn't a theory they came up with on their own , its a common theory of the right.
Everyone's heard of Münchausen By Proxy?
Its a behavioral /psychological disorder. The victim (usually a child) is treated for illness or "told" repeatedly that their sick (usually by a parent or caregiver). After continually being told their sick , and or being exposed to examination the victim ends up believing this is actually the case. No physical medical symptoms will actually manifest beyond a general feeling that the victim doesn't "Fell good". Or , the symptoms manifest Psychoanalytically (I continually worry I have the flu , I worry myself into a bout of diarrhea)
An identical theory of the right - What we'll call "Racehausen By Proxy"
The victim here (A minority) Is told by Society that Inequality is real and that his opportunities might be limited. The victim in this case is being continually told he is a victim ,so therefore begins to believe this is true.
But in this version of the disorder : The symptoms not only manifest in the mind but the
psychological damage inflicted on the victim manifests in the actual physical realm: Symptoms include: Mass Incarceration , Poverty , Unemployment or Underemployment , Inequality of opportunity , Inequality of Pay , and countless other examples (one of which is apparently something I've heard called "Driving while black")[/QUOTE]
Do you understand what you just posted?
Of course telling someone they are the victim REPEATEDLY is going to instill a victim mentality. And what does that accomplish? A mind set of "I'm
ed regardless" and "all hope is lost"?
Who is going to end up more sucessful? The person that is coddled and has someone in his ear day in and day out, telling him that his hardships are caused by others (i.e. he bears no responsibility and has no means to advance) or the person that is told to look to reflect and take some goddamn responsibility?
