The victim mentality of many on here, across racial lines

*Mahogany Goddess of P.H.A.E.T 2012/01/16 23:29:24

Has this nation become a nation of pity, many on here want to play the victim card, want to blame a whole group of people for their woes. Sorry, but I am not in a race for self pity, and I refuse to group people due to talking heads/politicians. I can't fathom how people skip over the ones creating these problems, just to blame each other. Have we become this idiotic as a nation or do some just want to take what they can get? Life isn't a race about who has had it the worse or who is getting an unfair hand in life. If you see something going astray, get up and do something about it. I'm tired of Democrats and Republicans playing their games with us and people eating it up like cupcakes. Stop blaming your fellow man or a whole group of people for what is wrong in your life. I don't care if you are White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Christian, Atheists, Hindu, Gay, Straight, Bi etc... We are in this together, don't be a part of the problem; but the solution.
You!

    No one here has mentioned "tolerance"..? So I will.

    Do not leave your faith or your way of life.
    Do not forsake your savior or beliefs.
    Do not run from what you love.

    Embrace your life, your blessing + encourage others the same
    Honor your beliefs + listen with open hearts to those who would share theirs with you
    Rejoice in your loves + cast that love to those who have none.

    I know this is an old post, but since it was shared with me now, I just wanted to say that I like this part of your post a lot:"Stop blaming your fellow man or a whole group of people for what is wrong in your life." Perfectly said.

    It's an old but effective political ploy: Divide and rule. Pols pit one group of suckers against another, fabricate some wrongs allegedly committed by one group against another, then pretend to want to right those fake wrongs.
    Then they repeat the process with another sub-set.
    It's evil, it's nasty, and it works.

    It is very astounding ..
    how in this day and age ..
    so many are invested in being an 'eternal victim' ..
    (of what? that is the question indeed)

    TIME is long past where we should not even be concerned about 'surface' ..
    it should be our HUMANITY ..
    you are WHO you choose to BE ..
    it is your ACTIONS .. your Adult Responsibilty ..

    (sad to see even now .. on polls .. so many so invested in one-way ... narrow-mindedness)

    Good post!

    Great video, reminds me of my mothers words of wisdom, 'regardless of how bad you think your circumstances are, there is someone in this world who has it much worse, and their bottom lip isn't dragging the floor.'
    Victim Mentality are people who have given up, and lack taking responsibility for themselves, their actions, mistakes, and even their own decisions. In short, being a victim requires a giving up of most, if not all, personal responsibility. When we allow ourselves to be victims, we are letting the people and circumstances in our lives dictate how we will feel, and ultimately, who we will be.

    You are exactly right. However, I want nothing to do with Atheists (God Haters) and the like. They can solve their own problems, and away from me.

    Mutual respect is all that is needed; you don't have to agree with Atheist, but their absent of faith is understandable, just like one belief in a deity (God) is understandable as well.

    Yeah. You can tell them that all day long. The champions of their philosophy are ever pessimistic and seething with acid and vitriol. Ever read anything written by Richard Dawkins?

    Yes, but now you are painting a picture of an entire group due to the snobbish behavior of Richard Dawkins; you have people who have his attitude in every group.

    He's the champion philosopher and go to man for the majority of that group of people. Also, I have never met an atheist that could explain their stance without cynicism, vitriolic impressionism, pessimism and condescension. And I have argued with and debated droves of people (atheists) on this topic.

    Droves doesn't equal the majority; I have talked to many Atheists as well, majority are nice people and just disagree respectfully like my cousin. It really doesn't matter to me if some are a cynics as long as they are respectful.

    Nah. The majority of them think that people who believe in God are not as smart as them. As if their 'disbelief' has exalted them to some higher plain of intellect and understanding. Like I said before: They're absolutely free to think whatever they want... AWAY from me. You lay with dogs, you rise with fleas.

    It's always easier to blame the other guy. It almost worked for Obama but he used that one too many times.
    People simply can't take responsibility for their own actions, When in doubt blame whitey

    Um I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't blame 'Whitey'. Face it, Bush, Clinton, Obama, Nixon, Bush Sr, Jimmy Carter etc..... All were corrupt, Obama is just the latest tool, and some people need to knock that chip off their shoulders. Who is blaming 'whitey' any of way?

    I don't nor do my friends blame "whitey". I am responsible for my own actions as we all are.

    If I blamed "whitey" I'd be blaming many in my family, as we have a variety of heritages and races.

    Hey! We don't need your logic or making sense. There is no room for that here. You expect people to think for themselves and let go of their group mentality? What are you, insane?

    The problem is, people have had real issues in the past when it came to unfair or unequal treatment. (Some still have issues). Then you have a group that decided to turn into a bunch of 3rd graders and make light of actual plight of individuals and create a false victimization because they are no longer able to make themselves "special" by keeping down those that actually lived through victimization. It becomes "they won't let me be racist or keep down the poor, this is un-American. I have a right to kick the little man. Woe is me."

    You have no idea how much this hits home. What you are describing runs rampant in society today. You have no idea how many times I am in a business situation trying to solve a problem and have to listen to grown adults finger pointing and dragging up past issues. Sometimes I lose it and tell them all STFU!!! Move on and solve the problem of today, here, now!!!
