Dennis Prager argues that Black Lives Matter activists promote victimhood instead of addressing what he sees as internal failings in Black communities. He contends that high crime rates reflect problems requiring self-examination rather than blaming outsiders.
Victimhood is an evil devil when you think about it. I believe that these people like the BLM activists, again, they don't want to look in the mirror. They don't want to have to look back at themselves. And I almost wonder if that's part of the issue when it comes to the overwhelming crime in Black communities. If you look at the overwhelming crime in Black communities, then as a Black person, then we have to sit back and say, okay, What's happening? What's going wrong here? And then we have to start looking at our own sins instead of throwing rocks at our neighbors. And I just wonder if that's a lot of what's going on. We just don't want to have to face the fact that we screwed up in our own communities. So it's much easier to blame people outside of our own community.
