"In Losing the Race, Professor McWhorter outlines in surgical detail three aspects of modern day black American cultural mentality, or 'cults,' that hold us back as a people. First is the Cult of Victimology. In it, victimhood is not seen as a problem to be overcome but an identity to be nurtured. In the Cult of Separatism, the uniqueness of our history is used as a justification to exempt us from the rules that govern the rest of American society. Lastly, in the Cult of Anti-Intellectualism, an affinity toward education is seen as running counter to an 'authentic' black identity."
