white_girl_bleed_a_lot_coffee_cupIn Case You Were Wondering: Five Reasons Why Black People Resort to Violence.

From the Atlanta Black Star:

REASON NUMBER TWO:

Being Devalued

In her article, “The Inner Voices Behind Violent Behavior,” Dr. Lisa Firestone writes “After years of researching, interviewing, and assessing violent individuals, along with my father Dr. Robert Firestone , I began to recognize certain voices (negative thought processes) that flood the minds of these individuals influencing them to engage in acts of violence.”

One of the negative thought processes she identified were ones that support people feeling victimized and persecuted. These voices promote and support thoughts of being discounted, blamed, or humiliated by other people.

In his book, “Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic,” psychiatrist Dr. James Gilligan asserts that violence is caused by shame and humiliation. When we commit violence, says Gilligan, we’re actually trying to do something that to him is positive—that is, reclaim a part of the self, a part of a depleting sense of self-love, which we feel has somehow been violated. This is why, when you ask most young people today why they became violent, they’ll say it was because they were disrespected, or “dissed.”

In Nathan McCall’s book, “Makes Me Want to Holla,” he discusses the power black youth feel with a gun in their hand.  The possessor of the gun derives a level of respect, which has evaded him because of cultural oppression

 


These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.

Thomas Sowell said : ”Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities.” – National Review.

It’s necessary – for me – to comment yet again on this story due to its retro-sixties-laced-with-a-Freudian theme. It is somewhat of a blast from my professional past experiences in the field of mental health treatment.

This construct, as psychologists label a model of aberrant behavior, indicates that violent black people act out of an uncontrollable drive that compels them to assuage their demons through sadistic acts. Talk about removing personal responsibility.

Feeling insecure and inadequate? Other than President Clinton, who hasn’t at some time in their lives felt that way? If the result of this trait was certain violence, the country would have long been destroyed by now.

Racial and cultural acceptance of violence gives life to the barbarism. Excuses for it, as opposed to valid reasons, sustains it.

The lefties will love the book, and I can smell but another useless, taxpayer-funded federal program in the near future.

With all respect to this practitioner, she missed the target, let alone the bulls-eye.

Black felons have wonderful “self-esteem” — based on their imaginations, of course.

They’ve rarely, if ever, taken responsibility for their violence, and without pause, there will be a black or white liberal talking head immediately helping them displace it. Harming others simply feels good and powerful to them at the most base level of personality development.

Regarding removing or displacing personal responsibility, such action is part of the infantalization process which renders an individual, from an emotional maturity level, a preadolescent. Black felons dominate this aberrant personality construct.

Sadism is a common feature of black violence, as is a complete lack of remorse. There is no impulse control in these predators. I respectfully suggest these psychiatrists investigate the absence of a conscience in their target population. The latter hasn’t developed one.

Study 8 or 9 year old children when mildly vexed or during a tantrum, and you’ll get the idea.

[‘In her article, “The Inner Voices Behind Violent Behavior,” Dr. Lisa Firestone writes “After years of researching, interviewing, and assessing violent individuals, along with my father Dr. Robert Firestone, I began to recognize certain voices (negative thought processes) that flood the minds of these individuals influencing them to engage in acts of violence.”’]

Ah … so it’s not them … it’s the “voices”.

[‘One of the negative thought processes she identified were ones that support people feeling victimized and persecuted. These voices promote and support thoughts of being discounted, blamed, or humiliated by other people.’]

Well, I say blame the voices then … these violent offenders are clearly innocent.

[In his book, “Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic,” psychiatrist Dr. James Gilligan asserts that violence is caused by shame and humiliation. When we commit violence, says Gilligan, we’re actually trying to do something that to him is positive—that is, reclaim a part of the self, a part of a depleting sense of self-love, which we feel has somehow been violated. This is why, when you ask most young people today why they became violent, they’ll say it was because they were disrespected, or “dissed.”]

So when a black youth runs up behind a white or Asian person and king hits them to the ground it’s because they were ‘disrespected , or “dissed”’.

When a black youth shoots an Australian jogger in the back from a car it’s because the black youth was “disrespected, or ‘dissed’”.

Dr Gilligan needs to get out more …. and leave the denial in the office.

[“In Nathan McCall’s book, “Makes Me Want to Holla,” he discusses the power black youth feel with a gun in their hand. The possessor of the gun derives a level of respect, which has evaded him because of cultural oppression.”]

The black youth isn’t feeling “respect” from others.

That’s fear he’s feeling from others.

Fear of being mindlessly ended by an illiterate gang-banging drug addict with an IQ of 70 who wouldn’t understand “Cultural” if it ran over him.

I feel devalued from just reading that…

I can’t agree with this at all. Countless Irish came to this country, not as free persons, but as indentured servants. They not only worked their way to freedom, but they assimilated into the culture. They put the past behind them, worked hard, educated their children, and became a part of the mainstream. Shall we turn to the Jews? Jews are beaten down everywhere. I lived in Crown Heights in New York City for a while. Jews walked their children to school amid taunts from … others. Jews are hated by irrational people everywhere they live. They’ve lived through the most hateful conditions, yet they are a productive people, an educated people. Their children do not roam around the streets hurting innocent people. No, don’t give me excuses for black violence. Don’t blame the victims of their violence. You may convince someone else with a bleeding heart that they need compassion and understanding, but not me. Sorry, I don’t feel any guilt, not today, not ever.
