In Case You Were Wondering: Five Reasons Why Black People Resort to Violence.
REASON NUMBER THREE:
Self Hate
Feeling devalued in society creates self hate. Denied the love of others, a person’s self-love, or soul, like money in a savings account, slowly but surely begins to wane, says Dr. Gilligan.
One of the other negative thought processes identified by Dr. Firestone was “self-depreciating voices that make violent individuals feel that they are unlovable, and that no one will love or care about them. This may also be identified as self-hate. These thoughts promote isolation and encourage a person to attack other people they see as rejecting.”
Young boys who have learned to hate themselves may develop false sense of pride or an over-inflated ego to compensate. Challenges to this exaggerated self-image cannot be tolerated by the individual who possesses it.
Dr. Firestone writes: ”Self-aggrandizing voices can be a precursor of violence as well because they promote a view that a person is superior to others and deserves to be treated as such. They support an inflated self-image that functions to compensate for deep-seated self-hatred. When the aggrandized sense of self is threatened, for example by slights or perceived disrespect, a person often reacts violently in an effort to regain the aggrandized self-image. Research that links high self-esteem in adolescents to violence actually measured inflated self-esteem or vanity.”
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.

As 70 year old white male i wasn’t taught black history in school unless count George Washington Carver. He was a great inventor an a Godly man but black men and women’s contributions go so much father. Because of this i started reading books and researching black history and i have to say i have found so much America owes to men and women of African descent. They seem to know about slavery but not much else when it come to their ancestors treatment while under democratic rule. To be sure, there are men like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who stir up strife between the races but there are men like the Reverend Wayne Perryman, Allen West and Dr. Ben Carson. These are men we can all respect and admire because they believe in the same America our founders created. I often wondered if we had been taught black history in our textbooks would we have understood our cultural differences and thereby helped create a better America. Martin Luther King knew nothing would be gained by violence. These great men mentioned above have said the same thing about violence. We aren’t born to hate. It has to be instilled in us by an outside force. Love has to come from within.
So they are just mentally ill?
Word…
right out of “critical race theory”. anything & everything is a percieved insult. when they continue to enforce this in schools, it creates mental illness. i read that ginger snaps, peanut butter jelly sandwiches are racist, banned schools in several states. now santa is evil, & brown paper bags. its as if these kids can’t come up for air, they are drowning in negativity. the world is out to get them. the blk race baiters, the slave talk, all this influences. many of these children come from drug addicted homes. my friend was getting a masters degree to teach students w/special needs. not physical needs but behavioral problems. (public school system in columbus). this kind of job was easier to get, as few teachers want this. he was sent to an all blk jr. high school. the stories he heard were awful, drug addict mothers, prostitute mothers. there was no violence against my friend, but it was very depressing/ stressful. the students were difficult to control. hes a far left liberal from academic parents. he had a phyiscal breakdown, & had to leave. the envirement, neighorhood, transit was too much.
“…..he had a phyiscal breakdown, & had to leave.”
I’m wondering, Laura, if he’s still a far left type now.
The reason I raise the question is because so many of them are such avid Kool-Aid drinkers, propagandized beyond redemption….like the kid who suffered a beating by a mob so badly he had brain damage, his jaw wired shut, and a broken eye socket, yet he said he’s sorry his ancestors abused blacks, making their heirs act this way.
Then there’s Reginald Denny who couldn’t offer enough excuses for the thugs who nearly beat him to death then celebrated.
I think whites are the only group that has such idiotic people in their ranks.
he eventually returned to school to finish the degree. since he moved from columbus to dayton i dont think he was put back into the same school for student teaching. but it must have been similar. i no longer speak w/him. i dont think hes as extreme as the others you mention. (& have known). he was getting disillusioned w/obama, but hadnt turned the corner -yet. i couldnt deal w/the “republicans” being blamed for everything. this was 3yrs ago. intersting to note, he was rejected for food stamps for not earning enough $. then rejected for earning a little too much. the system was kicking him around, hes a white male, anglo decent, & is in debt for the rest of his life for his college loans.
