-- the Cult of Victimology, under which it has become a keystone of cultural blackness to treat victimhood not as a problem to be solved but as an identity to be nurtured. Only naivetà © could lead anyone to suppose that racism does not still exist, or that there are not still problems to be solved. However, the grip of the Cult of Victimology encourages the black American from birth to fixate upon remnants of racism and resolutely downplay all signs of its demise."
In truth, white people do a lot more moaning and crying about their condition, and for totally imaginary reasons. A 2011 study by Tufts University and Harvard Business School shows "whites believe that anti-white racism has increased and is now a bigger problem than anti-black racism."
" White people do not like to be niggerized, to be placed at the ass-end of their own racist reasoning."
The Republicans' job is to keep whites thinking that way, not reminding them that Euro-Americans make up the vast bulk of folks that are "dependent" on "entitlements" of various kinds. By mixing up his message, Romney has polluted the white watering hole, and endangered the entire corporate project. Fortunately for the fat cats, they have plenty of friends in Democratic circles. President Obama, who seldom fumbles his messages, set out on the campaign trail, in 2007, telling a congregation in Selma, Alabama, that Blacks had already come "90 percent of the way" to equality - signaling to whites that the curtain would soon be brought down on all this Black complaining. As president, Obama repeatedly and pointedly insisted that he would reserve housing aid for those homeowners that were truly "deserving" -- and wound up helping only a very few, leaving it up to the banks to handle the crisis on their own terms. Obama served notice, two weeks before his inauguration, that all "entitlements" -- Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. -- would be "on the table" for chopping. Last year, he matched the Republicans dollar-for-dollar, offering $4 trillion in cuts over ten years. And, the president's belief in Black (male) cultural pathology has been made quite clear in Fathers' Day and other remarks that were directed at least as much to white constituencies as at Blacks.
So, Romney's presidential dreams may go poof!! as a result of his mass niggerization gaffe -- but his racist view of the world is alive and thriving.
