as Black people, our families, and our communities. Black people are accused of playing the victim just for telling the truth about American society, despite the many i… expect us to pick ourselves up from the bootstraps or to accuse us of having a "victim mentality." If most Black people had a victim mentality, there's no way we would have survived in one of the most barbaric systems of racial discrimination the world has ever known, and we still find joy and pride in ourselves as Black people, our families, and our communities. Black people are accused of playing the victim just for telling the truth about American society, despite the many incidents showing that Black Americans were made the victim through no fault of their own.
