  1. Indeed. The politics of victimhood are an affront to both human possibility and potential. It is a victim mentality that is most damaging. For many, this begins with a mother who magnifies injury, especially in young boys who lack a strong intervening father. Once we were able to say, "Man up." This character building advice has been dashed upon the alter of emasculation and top down imposed political ideology. The nanny state is not a big brother, but rather, a big emasculating, intrusive, and manipulative big mother. A true brother is a protector and a friend.

  2. @royguster5576  All men are born into the world (created) equal. After that, there is only an equality of justice before the laws of the land. Darkness is not equal to Light, but only an absence of either justice or Light. This really has nothing to do with race, but with a quality of character or a lack thereof. Those who have borne the injuries of history receive little compensation. Those who have not suffered injury too often exploit the injury of past generations to which they are not entitled. Honour those who have suffered past injury, learn the lessons, and move on. The injured of history are too many to compensate.
