Kneeling as psychodrama therapy for the rich, black, and guilty "The otiose craze for wealthy black people and their "supporters" to disrespect the American flag by kneeling in public – momentarily play-acting tragedy and grief in front of a TV camera – is psychodrama psychotherapy for the guilt they richly deserve to feel. The histrionic fad started by Colin Kaepernick that has infected athletes, entertainers, and politicians like Representative Sheila Jackson Lee is expiation for the unconscious guilt these privileged people have earned for their heartless betrayal of black Americans. Kaepernick's phony first plotline, that the worst problem for black people is the police, engenders defensive anxiety in its sheer stinking falsehood. The big, deadly lie that white racism is to blame for all the problems of black Americans and that black people remain helpless victims in 2017 is so patently false. As with all delusional systems, its maintenance causes rage and anxiety when challenged.
"That anxiety is being relieved through anti-American spectacle. The Democratic Party can still pass off blame-whitey-forever dogma because the left-wing wealthy and powerful benefit greatly from it. Rich black people cling to toxic lies because blaming white people absolves them of gratitude for America and the bother of real charity or service to their own community. Having rejected Christianity, the left wing has no inspiration for charity. Leftists can relieve guilt about their own excesses by showboating concern for the downtrodden while making minimal personal sacrifice for anyone. A little psychodrama, preferably on national television, is just what the doctor ordered." . . . By Deborah C. Tyler
