“He believes Whites owe him and the rest of the planet for all of their self inflicted problems, and he plans to extract payment from them.”
It’s really quite insane and shallow, to see yourself only by the color of your skin. His black father deserted him, his mother and was never heard of again, did nothing to support him, nor did any of his black relation. His white grandparents raised him, provided him, obviously with the means to gain great success. Yet he sees himself only as ‘black’. It’s pathological. And dangerous.
But it's something you really can't change, and is the most obvious of group identity features, before everything else.
So you're right, on an intellectual basis, his attitudes make no sense. But on an emotional basis, it's all that he really has. If he were visibly White, where would he be? Would he have gone to Harvard?
We all know the answers. He would have maybe ended up as a decent attorney in Honolulu or worse, Wichita. His elocution is matched by hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions (I mean, hit a car lot or two and have the salesguys chat you up...).
So he really is pathological: psychopathy in it's attenuated version is described as malignant narcissism.
And that's who he is. Have him take a PCL-R test...the results would be terrifying. Note the traits in Factor 1a...
