Sharpton: 'Some Of Us Have BATTERED RACE SYNDROME'!

REV AL SHARPTON (13 August 2013): Some of us have Battered Race Syndrome.

REV AL SHARPTON: We’ve developed so many of us a loser’s complex. It’s almost like the battered syndrome when people when people battered by their mate. They just automatically get ready for being battered, never occurring to them that they are full human beings and shouldn’t be submitting and subjecting themselves to that. But once you create the mentality that you supposed to tolerate a whipping a beating abuse that you don’t even complain about it or report it because you think you deserve it. Well some of us have battered race syndrome. We can’t win ain’t gonna win that ain’t gonna work nothing gonna work duh duh duh because we have battered race syndrome. We’ve beaten ourselves into defeatism. So they don’t have to beat us, we beat ourselves with our own battered syndrome off we can’t win. I don’t know what marching gonna do. Well then why’s everybody else marching and getting their stuff through? Because they know if they go out there and raise the temperature somebody gonna have to deal with them, but you don’t think you qualify for that cause they beat you down. Well those who don’t have that syndrome meet me in Washington August 24 and let’s do what’s got to be done.
