>>It's my belief that the victim mentality is propagated by black leaders that talk like Rev Wright. He has done a dis-service to his congregation by telling them "rich white people" are the root of their problems. A person has to realize they are feeding the victim behavior by acting like one. At that time you stop blaming others for your troubles and take responsibility for your life. At that time you are freed of the victim syndrome. It's a great feeling.<< Patricia - I agree with you. FYI, I've seen quite a bit more of Rev. Wright now, and I can tell you that his message is absolutely NOT "rich white people are the root of your problems". In fact, he preaches that black people have to stick together, help each other out, get educated, and make their own way. Apparently, his congregants get a great feeling from that positive message. - Allen
