TYPICAL PIMP

MAXINE 'I Make Aunt Esther Look Like Miss America' WATERS.

Anyone who is a skin color, instead of an individual lives here.
Anyone who is a gender, instead of an individual lives here.
Anyone who is a place on a map (ethnicity) instead of an individual lives here. Anyone who is a sexual orientation (gay, bi, tri, quadra or polysexual) instead of an individual lives here.

Je$$e Jackson, Al "The 'Do" Sharpton, Maxine "No Justice, No Peace" Waters and Kweisi "Am I Your Daddy" Mfume define themselves as a skin color. They live in the Victim-'Hood.

Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas and Walter Williams are individuals. They don't live in the Victim-'Hood. In fact, they have spent their lives light years from the 'Hood

Gloria Steinem defines herself as a gender. She lives in the Victim-'Hood. Camille Paglia is an individual, she does not live in the Victim-'Hood.

I am not a skin color, a gender, a place on the map or a sexual orientation and neither are you. Each of us is a unique blend of skills, attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and deficiencies which no one else shares. Each of us is, whether we admit it or not, an individual.

The Victim-Hood's denizens refuse to live in a world populated by sovereign individuals. Instead, they insist on pigeonholing people into ready-made little boxes based on essentially meaningless, issued-at-birth factors like skin pigmentation, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Such things tell us nothing about an individual's thoughts, beliefs, actions or skills. These venerated issued-at-birth factors are, in reality, no more informative about an individual than their eye color, height or shoe size.

In essence, Victim-'Hood denizens proudly proclaim that, since they are first, last and always a characteristic issued at birth. They noisily affirm that they have not contributed a single iota to their identity since they were born. That's why they reside in the Victim-'Hood.
