We've been over this 'victim' thing in the past, Julian. It's valid, because of the history of slavery and racism in this country, which obviously victimized blacks. I think the black culture tends to be *positive* in terms of boosting black children's self-esteem.
You're trying to make the black-culture recounting of history sound like a *negative* thing, when, in fact, it's how things really happened, and *everyone* is entitled to the truth about it.
Have you considered that it's the *reality* of the history of slavery and racism that has caused so much degradation to the lives of people of color, and not merely the *recounting* of it?
Remember, historical accounts are *not* the same thing as the reality itself.
Finally, this thread has included some content about *ancient slavery*, which is a different thing than *modern* slavery.

Slavery was the order of the day in "the old days". American SJWs somehow think that slavery was only an American thing. The left wing leaders, particularly black left wing leaders push the narrative of the "victimhood" 24/7 which is highly damaging to minorities. I cannot imagine what it would be like to grow up and be told I am a victim every single day. That destroys the human spirit. It creates depression, anger, lack of hope, nihilism, lack of motivation, violence, etc. At some point the only hope is to embrace the the role of the noble victim.
