Do black people enjoy being told they're weak and dumb? The Elect hope so

In a word, there are people who exaggerate the degree of their victimhood, and by extension, groups of people who do. For clinical details, this article is useful; I also recommend this overview. There is a whole literature on this syndrome. The syndrome manifests itself according to these four facets: 1) Constantly seeking recognition of one’s victimhood 2) Frequently ruminating about past discrimination 3) A sense of moral elitism, as a way to maintain a positive self-image 4) Lack of empathy for the pain and suffering of others It is impossible not to recognize a certain strain of thought in the black American community in those four tenets, let’s face it. The parallel is almost eerie, and too close to be insignificant. The constant seeking of recognition as a victim – i.e. beyond what reality would lead one to expect – is, unfortunately, most writing on race today: the guilty sense you may have that racism exists but a great many thinkers exaggerate about it is stimulated by this facet of the victimhood identity. Too, the sense one may have that black people resist the basic coping strategy of getting beyond the past is due to the ruminating aspect.
