Victim Mentality

Photograph from the Internet

According to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia,
"Victim mentality is an acquired (learned)
personality trait in which a person tends to regard
him or herself as a victim of the negative actions of
others, and to behave like it were the case—even in
the absence of clear evidence. It depends on
habitual thought processes and attribution." This is
a term that has become a part of our every day
conversations. Let's try to understand what it entails
exactly though the following article so we may be
better prepared in dealing with this modern mental
a iction.

• And the beat goes on...
by AROLD AUGUSTIN, MD

Random Thoughts:

The 1966 Coleman Report

James Samuel Coleman ( May 12, 1926- March 25, 1995) was a sociologist
who initially became a chemical engineer. He received his bachelor's
degree from Purdue University in 1949. Then, Mr. Coleman went to
Columbia University where his interests switched to sociology. In 1955, he
received his Ph.D. in that eld of science. He later taught at John Hopkins,
Stanford University, and nally at the University of Chicago where he
eventually became a full professor in social relations. Two studies made him
famous: An Introduction to Mathematical Sociology (1964) and
Mathematics of Collective Action (1973).

Around July 4th, 1966, the Lyndon administration released the Coleman
report, written by James Samuel Coleman and associates. That report,
based on a 600,000 people sample, unequivocally found that "schools bring
little in uence on a child's achievement that is independent of his or her
background and general social context." The report continued, " the
inequalities imposed on children by their home, neighborhood, and peer
environment are carried along to become the inequalities with which they
confront adult life at the end of school."

Apparently, the progressives, who had controlled the Senate and House of
Representatives until 1994, did not heed the call. Rather than putting an
emphasis on consolidating the family, they undertook to decimate it. The
emphasis has been on identity politics and the misguided idea that you
could improve public schools by showering it with money. As a matter of
fact, some progressive members of the American Sociological Association
appeared wretched about the "white ight" hypothesis proposed by
Coleman to explain the limits of desegregation of the busing system. They
wanted to revoke his membership from the Association, an apparent
attempt by the liberals to get rid of a scientist when his opinions
contradicted the narrative.

Another problem with the progressive movement is its unwillingness to
accept accountability. Whereas the evidence points to the disintegration of
Detroit thanks to Democratic corruption, the politicians, and their enabling
enemedia never recognized that they had been part of the destruction of
the Black families. They lied about it as if reality was irrelevant. It is not
surprising that they became sanctimonious when Melania Trump entered

8the world of plagiarizing. Ironically, they had kept their silence when Joe

BidCeOn UwCasOUindMuacgteadzininet,oAtuhgeusHta2l0l o16f shame in 1987. Mr. Biden plagiarized an
entire speech without equivocation.

For some unclear reasons, despite the evidence, the progressive elite was
able to create confusion amid the black population. However, that task
would have been impossible without the gracious help from the likes of
John Lewis of the Black Caucus and Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow
Coalition. Next time, someone asks you if you know one of the primary
roots of the state of the Black misery in America, point to the Coleman
report and walk away. Indeed, she is free to read social sciences rather
than propaganda pieces from Occupy Democrats or Fox News.

beat goes on...

Trump World, Clinton Space and the Obama-Sphere

by Michael Widlanski on July 22, 2016

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
each live in their own world, although they sometimes
visit other places.
Trump-World is based on modern nation states with
national identities: countries that defend national
interests before aspiring to go beyond their borders to
help others.
Clinton-Space is a post-national place where nation
states are mostly passé, where a airs are decided by
post-national bodies like the UN, the EU and NGO’s
(the United Nations, the European Union and non-
governmental organizations), or mCLaICgKnHaEnRiEmTOouREsAmD MuOltRiE- ...
national entities like the Clinton Foundation.

Kellian et Yannis… Leur vie pour la vie

Je ne dormirai pas ce soir, trop de peine sommeille en moi
Cette sou rance tassée dans les profondeurs de mon moi
Secoue mon âme, transperce mon cœur et ébranle ma foi
J’ai honte de c’que j’ressens, j’ai peur du silence de ma voix

J’ai beau dire à ma plume, je suis une ambassadrice de la
paix
Mais hélas, elle veut crier sa haine pour Satan et ses ls
mauvais
Ceux qui sèment deuil, sang et pleurs dans le cœur de
l’humanité
Neuf enfants sont passés de vie à trépas, qu’ont-ils fait en
vérité

Ils sont tous partis en fête sous un ciel étoilé, un aller sans
retour
Car la mort les a surpris, tout heureux, le cœur léger, sans
détour
D’innocentes âmes à peine écloses dans le beau jardin de
la vie
L’enfance est une poésie qui dépasse tous les mots dits ou
écrits

Aime-moi, aime-moi...
L'in ni de ta tendresse
Se cueille sur un baiser de tes lèvres
Un aveu qui se veut éternel

Aime-moi, aime-moi...
Les vagues de mes désirs
Viennent se briser
Sur les rives de ta passion.

Aime-moi, aime-moi...
Le feu dévorant de tes yeux
Embrase mes rêves,
En amme ma folie, de toi

Aime-moi, aime-moi...
Comme la chrysalide
Se réjouissant d'être un papillon
mon âme aussi s'envole
Vers les nuages ensoleillés

Aime-moi, aime-moi...

Et ton nom gazouille dans mon coeur
Comme un chant mélodieux.

Toi et la mer

Sur ta longue chevelure
bleue comme l'azur
houle sur l'océan
un regard tel au néant.
Ces bateaux et marins
partis un beau matin
sur ton onde veloutée
par ton charme envouté...
Jusque vers l'horizon
où se perd la raison
pour trouver le confort
dans un monde sans port…
Ainsi d'une caresse
Je me noie d'ivresse
aux con ns de ton allure
jusqu'à ton embouchure…
Jusqu'au lever du soleil
sur ton corps au réveil
voguant l'aube et l'amour
pour faire naitre le jour...

Monde à l'envers

Tuerie, carnage, guerre,
Le monde à l'envers
Infamie, sauvagerie, lâcheté,
C'en est ni de l'humanité
Meurtres d'innocents,
Monde taché de sang,
Immondices, pourriture,
La paix en décon ture
L'homme est dominé
D'instincts guerriers,
Kamikazes, assassins,
Combien, encore combien?
Et c'est pire que le choléra et la peste,
Ça empire les tourments de ceux qui restent,
Ceux qui restent, meurtris, éplorés,
Meurent de peur, désespérés,
Vomissent leurs colères, leurs douleurs,
Périssent dans une mer de malheur,
Et réclament la vengeance,
À leur tour, la violence
Peut-on arrêter
Et ne plus pleurer?
Peut on arrêter cette spirale délétère,
Ces crimes perpétrés, cette violence, cette
guerre?
Peut on changer ces destins si tragiques,
Engendrés par des assassins fanatiques?
Pourquoi l'humain
Est assassin?

Pourquoi créé t'il l'enfer

Comment remettre l'envers à l'endroit,
Comment remettre tous les coeurs en joie?
Comment démontrer à l'humain
Qu'il est capable de faire le bien?
Que dans son coeur, outre la lâcheté,
Il existe une précieuse humanité.

Soyez fous amoureux et rêvez!

Naufragé des mots

Quand donc me sortirai-je
De la marée des mots
Qui m’entraîne, sortilège
Au milieu de ses ots?

Je crée celles qui crient
Sans que nul ne l’entende
Parce que mes écrits
Sont des haillons qui
pendent.

Les beaux ne sont que maux,
Certains formant bouquets.
D’autres vont à vau-l’eau
Débordant des baquets.

De mon balbutiement
Je macule des feuilles
Dont quelques rudiments
Siéent à votre accueil.

Et dans ma frénésie
Je les revêts de peau,
Simili poésie
Naufragée dans les mots.
