When I say the words, "perpetual victim," which group of people comes to mind?

Answer 1

battered women who have been battered for so long that they don't know a way out of the abuse

Answer 2

crybabies,of all races creeds and colors unless you woke up in darfur this morning the odds are you can't even spell poor ,the very fact that you are chatting on the internet instead of trying to eek out an existence tells me volumes about you and your quality of life .so i guess my answer is the hapless indigenous africans that are suffering the same fate as the native americans faced when the european invaders realized the riches that were being wasted by the ignorant savages that inhabited north america.
the same thing will happen to the africans for years now the west has lusted for the gold ,oil and,diamonds that are waiting to be liberated from the land there.and once again the only thing separating western civilization and all that money is those pesky indigenous africans that think that they own the place .so we'll pit them against one another and use the strategy that l.a.p.d. used against the gangs.i.e.leave them alone and they'll pretty well kill one another.only in this case we'll provide the weapons and ammo (at a price of course) .and lets throw aids into the mix that seems to do a pretty good job of thinning out the undesirables(does anyone really think its a coincidence that aids first appeared in africa .i could go on but i'm getting depressed now ,you see my brother died from arc ,collateral damage i suppose.

Answer 3

I think I know what you're hinting at :) and yes there are people in that group who DO perpetually whine, but you get that with all faiths and belief systems or lack thereof. I'm not one of the perpetual whiners.
The only group I can think of who do see themselves as hated and perpetually victimised are Jehovah's Witnesses. It is a crucial part of their teachings that they will be hated by many (which I know because I used to be one).
But, people with persecution complexes come from all walks of life.

Answer 4

Native Americans!

Answer 5

Liberals

Answer 6

Native Americans.

Answer 7

Christianity seems to have gotten its start via Poor Persecuted Me Syndrome. At the beginning, this fit. Christianity is tailor-made for the poor, the "tainted" (lepers, criminals who were banned from certain Pagan rituals because they were "spiritually unclean", etc...), the dim-witted, the talentless, and other types of people who generally don't have much going for them. At some point, it earned some powerful converts and became one of the largest and most widely-practised theistic religions in the world.

And still, despite the unquestionable power the religion has gained in the last 1500+ years, many Christians still suffer from Poor Persecuted Me Syndrome. They're persecuted by the U$ government (even though the U$ constitution was written to protect all religions, especially Christianity, and the practice thereof), by Atheists, by Pagans (yes, the very people they historically made conscious, calculated efforts to try and destroy -- and very nearly succeeded in destroying), Amerikan and European Christians claim that Muslims are persecuting them(???) just because *one* isolated set of terrorist attacks have been linked to *one* Islamic extremist group that we've seen surprisingly little from since that *one* isolated set of incidences over six years ago. Christians are also notorious for claiming persecution from other Christians, despite the fact that the reformation about five-or-six-hundred years ago spearheaded the production of a vast abundance of sects that outnumber the early Christian sects now referred to as "Gnostics".

Jews, especially since the rise of Christianity, actually have some claim in allegations of persecution. But still, for the most part, most Jewish people alive today in the U$ and Europe have never actually been persecuted. Oh, they may have family members who were actually persecuted, but most Neo-Nazis are are chickens--- closet homosexuals who make a lot of talk and almost never act on it, preferring instead to hide behind "free speech" laws rather than become convicted murderers. And, in general, racial and sexual minorities have a lot more to worry about from Neo-Nazis than the vast majority of Jews in North Amerika, Europe, and Australia. Still, despite their relative safety, Jewish people, both practising and non-, actually have some reason to cry "persecution". Interestingly though, Christians are far more likely to cry "persecution" than Jewish people.

Many Wiccans and other Neo-Pagans have a bad case of Poor Persecuted Me Syndrome. Chances are good that they initially aligned themselves with such an extreme-minority religious group for primarily that reason -- so they can actually have a reason for their Poor Persecuted Me Syndrome. Neo-Pagans who also identify as "Goths" are generally far more likely to cry Poor Persecuted Me" than Neo-Pagans who don't. Of course, being part of such an extreme-minority religious group actually gives their claims some clout.

Atheists, especially those who can't seem to talk about how wonderful Atheism is on the Internet, are another big group afflicted with Poor Persecuted Me Syndrome. They don't even have to have grown up in a religious household or have had an extremely religious parents -- all religion everywhere is somehow being "crammed down [their] throat[s]" and this, of course, is the worst possible thing imaginable. If you don't see that it is, then you're probably just finding some overt way to "cram your religion down [their] throat[s]".

Answer 8

Next to atheists, Mormons (LDS), and Jehovah Witnesses. No three groups are more persecuted, than these.
