The humiliating thing about being black is that everything has been done for you, by virtue-signalling whites.
Ask yourself: suppose you belonged to a social group that led the world in drugged-out losers resisting arrest and teenage knife fighters? How would it make you feel?
The answer is obvious. You would feel humiliated.
Now you understand what America’s blacks are feeling in the wake of the righteous Chauvin conviction and the tragic death of Knife Girl.
But what do people feel when they are humiliated? I went to Churchill’s famous homily:
In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Good Will.
But whatabout Humiliation? What would the world’s foremost cigar smoker say about that? It is obvious:
In Humiliation: Rage.
So now you know why blacks are so angry. It’s not the systemic racism, not the Whiteness, not the “white oppressors.” It’s the humiliation.
But why?
I will tell you. The humiliating thing about being black is that everything has been done for you, by virtue-signalling whites.
Start with the anti-slavery movement, courtesy of William Wilberforce, the rich-kid son of a Brit merchant in the Baltic trade. What was that all about? Justice for blacks? Or virtue-signalling for rich-kid whites?
Proceed to the American Civil War. What was that all about? Freedom for Negroes? Or was it just Northerners and Southerners aching to diss each other?

There is a good reason that Mr. Ranger tells people not to feed the bears: They will not learn to fend for themselves. They will become dependent and will attack people if they are not fed when they want food.
Excellent point that I will steal without ever giving you attribution.
“In Humiliation: Rage”
Churchill would think that if his forces underperformed.
This guy says black’s “humiliation” is because “everything has been done for them”.
Instead of rage, why wouldn’t their feeling be “by cracky let’s do more for ourselves”?
A dog remains loyal to a cruel master as long as he gets fed.
Eric Hoffer made similar observations in his writings. His take was that, to get such groups to improve, they needed to be allowed to figure things out for themselves.
This narrative is popular, because the alternative explanation is intolerable.
I saw a message from a former boss. Last night, he had stopped to gas up on his way home. An SUV with a bunch of young black men pulled up, and one of them started yelling at him, asking “What’re you staring at...”and called him the ‘n-word’. My former boss is white. After several times this ding-dong yelled that at him, my boss said, “your pretty face” in jest. He shouldn’t have done that. My former boss got punched several times in the face (he mentioned that he kept his hands on the wheel to not retaliate). Someone ran out of the gas station to pull the black guy off my former boss, and he drove away. He called 911 and then drove back to the station, where the police met him (The black guys had driven off).
The officer who took his statement said that the guy probably had a chip on his shoulder already, but my former boss shouldn’t have said anything. Quite frankly, my former boss, though he got his face beat, was lucky it didn’t go beyond that.
I said all that to say....it’s likely best to avoid interaction with any black people, especially now. They’re looking for someone to take their frustration and humiliation out on. It could end your life.
Democrats: Make Segregation Great Again.
Idiot!
Or theirs. Once that starts happening to any significant extent, those types of incidents will decrease hugely.
I am almost to the point of keeping a derringer on me at all times, rules to the point be damned. Not there yet, but getting there quickly.
