When we hear men are the greater victims of crime, we tend to say, 'well, it's men hurting other men.' when we hear that blacks are the greater victims, we consider it racist to say, 'well, it's blacks hurting blacks.' the victim is a victim no matter who the perpetrator was.

More From Warren Farrell

Being a victim doesn't take much. there are built-in excuses for failure. built-in excuses for being miserable. built-in excuses for being angry all the time. no reason to trying to be happy; it's not possible. you're a victim. victim of what? well, you're a victim of derision. well, you're a victim of america. you're a victim of america's past, or you're a victim of religion. you're a victim of bigotry, of homophobia, whatever. you're a victim of something. the democrats got one for you. if you want to be a victim, call 'em up.

And my point was one i think that you'd agree with, which is there's no room in america for a black racist, a latino racist, or a white racist, or an asian racist, or a native american racist. now, we're either color blind or we're not color blind.

Robert nozick [a havard philosopher, famous for his book "anarchy, state and utopia"] defined revenge as delivering the message that you know what someone has done, and it doesn't involve hurting them or doing anything to them beyond that. it's just delivering the message that their crime has been noted not just by its victims, because the victim might be dead, but by another who has a different moral view and will challenge the perpetrator's view.

I was on a panel with light skinned blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how blacks are against gays and light skinned blacks and how intolerant blacks are of different groups. my position was that blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in oakland was one inhabited by white gays.

I think culture is where things change in us deeply. but right now, i think that people are very traumatised. they are very scared. having grown up in a house with a perpetrator who was violent every day and terrorising every day, i feel like that this country is suddenly very much like the house and the family i grew up in. every day we are glued to our phones, glued to our television; "what is this psychopath going to do next? how will he embarrass us? who will he bully or hurt or humiliate today? it's so easy to get locked into a syndrome where the perpetrator is ruling your life.
