abstract:Victim mentality is an acquired (learned) personality trait in which a person tends to regard him or herself as a victim of the negative actions of others, and to think, speak and act as if that were the case - even in the absence of clear evidence. It depends on habitual thought processes and attribution.
Cain wants no part of the victimmentality that has held back black Americans while empowering white Americans who made careers out of pandering to historic grievances.
