“Damn It Feels Good To Be A Victim”

Here’s a great video from Pajamas Media’s Alfonzo Rachel about the victimhood mentality (with apologies to the Geto Boys):


The point about blacks, or any minority for that matter, being accused of being race traitors or “Uncle Toms” because of their daring to wander away from the dogma of the liberal victim plantation is well made. We see that nonsense all the time, and the disservice the victim mentality is doing to minorities is obvious to any honest observer of places like inner city housing projects or Indian reservations.
But the victim mentality goes far beyond minorities these days. Liberals seek to turn us all into victims.
Take on a loan you can’t pay back? You’re a victim. Don’t want to pay your own way through college? You’re a victim. Can’t farm without subsidies? You’re a victim. Can’t afford your own health care? You’re a victim.
By turning us all into victims the proponents of big government create an excuse to come to our aid with programs that make us dependent on government. Which means that the goal is less about helping us than controlling us.
An independent, self-sufficient citizenry is the antithesis of big government. Because independent, self-sufficient citizens don’t need much in the way of government. The path to subjugation, the “road to serfdom” as Hayek put it, lays with first convincing us that we are helpless and then using that perceived helplessness to exploit us.

    You nail it Rob. And this ties into the post about Don Surber, too.

    I saw this video over at Gatway, was going to post it in readerblog but you beat me to, yo!

  • sayanything-2

    Oh, and how did you get what you have? Work for it? Why do want to deny the same opportunity to young men of color? Racist, much?

    Laying in the gutter, dazed with broken teeth, your pants gone,
    Judas Goat Alphonso in his Brioni suit to tells you ,
    you can be a MacDaddy.
    You believe him.
    You are the victim.

    You think pimps wear purple suits Huggybear?

  • AKA WOOF

    The inability to identify the pimp in the video is why
    you are continually taking it in the azz.

    Hint : it’s the guy in the fancy Italian suit.

    Rob,

    No argument with this point… You know my stances. However, the post picture should not be Obama. He’s stated on numerous occasions that his skin color is a non-issue, rebuking many on the left that wanted to label the tea-partiers “racist”.

    Now, I don’t trust BO as far as I could throw him, but a better picture would have been Jessie or Al, or any member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

    Or maybe members of the Congressional White Caucus… I’ll give you the names of that group once I find the list… I know it’s here somewhere…

    Ah, poor widdle woofie gonna cry for us now? If you don’t like stereotypes perhaps you should not have spent so much of your life helping reinforce them? What ya think, bro?

    Seems like Rob Port’s the type of feller wants to cast the first stone.

    Bitter. And racist. That is sad.

    Judas goat?

    I guess Poodle, like most liberals, thinks blacks are only authentically black when they toe the liberal party line.

    What a disgusting, racist piece of crap you are Poodle.

    At least I don’t call people race traitors for not staying on the liberal plantation.

    Two sides of the coin though. In one instance the victims (and their victim pimps) demand that others rescue them.

    The other is people deciding other people need rescuing for their own good whether they want it or not.

    The difference is we have better arguments backed up by history, sociology, psychology and experience. Liberals run entirely on an insecure need not to be listened to by their own like-minded people, but to force their imagined supremacy on others. What they do in the forcing of it is not relevant and never mattered to them. One is for well laid out reasons made in proper argument and debate, the other is simply going to be done whether you like it or not and there’s no need to back it up because it wasn’t about the problem at hand, but the people handing out the (non) solution.

    Unfortunately, we see this somewhat on the right too. With certain issues like homosexual sex, prescription drugs, etc…its that the person cannot be trusted to make decisions for themselves, and we must step in to protect them.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    You’re not wrong.

  • sayanything-1317

    I think it says something about Woof that he has to reply to everything with an oddly irrhythmic poem type response. A lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
