RE: Demanding reparations, past slavery, past land loss, and the false justification there in.
Victim status stems from low self esteem and confidence. People who deep inside believe that they cannot become successful on their own, so they demand support from everyone and uses history to justify it.
A confident minority would actually feel offended by reparations; he/she would view it as an act of infantilization and a sign that society still views him/her as inferior.
I agree. Though I also think the being offended victim thing these days is also being fueled almost by the same techniques used to spread cults and religions. The ostracized factor for not acting like a victim. Act like a victim and look for ways to be the victim or risk becoming a victim of us. Thus, why classes on Micro-aggressions exist. That is nothing more than a way to train yourself to look for things to be offended by. So that class if you took it could teach you how to be offended without any issues with self esteem or confidence.
So while I agree with you. I am saying there is more going on with it these days. It is almost becoming a religion.
In fact you could say we almost have a religious war going on.
I think I might do a post on that. :) Thanks for the inspiration.
