A victim mentality is something the Democrat party and civil rights leaders have pretty much institutionalized in the United States over the last 40 years. It is on that base that President Obama and the Democrats are appealing to class envy in this current election cycle (and the last one as well). Personal responsibility, something this country was founded upon, is a fading concept in America.
Sadly this victim mentality bleeds over to every aspect of life so we have a society where when people are wronged they never suck it up and keep on going. They use those wrongs as excuses not to achieve. By achieve I mean in work, their personal life, walk with God ,etc, etc.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
