Victim mentality 

Although I'm not a racist, you might call me one after reading this.............

We've all been hearing about the deadly Ebola outbreak in Liberia, Guinea an Sierra Leone.
We are told how many are dying, how fatal it is, etc.
Two volunteer doctors from the United States came down with the disease while helping others in West Africa.  They have since been brought back home to the United States for medical treatment.
These two doctors are being given an experimental drug which has only been tested in monkeys so far.   This has caused an uproar amongst the minority population.
The black community is saying that it's racist because the drug is only being given to whites.
The truth is that several companies such as Tekmira Pharaceuticals, Profectus Bio Sciences and Integrated Bio Therapeutics have developed vaccines that look promising when given to monkeys with the disease.   No tests have been done on humans so far and the supply of these experimental vaccines is extremely small (for research only).
The black community wants to know why the drug is not being given to blacks also.
However, when asked if they would have preferred that the drug(s) be tested in the African nations affected, they again shout that that would be racist.
How can that be ?   Only a victim mentality would see that no matter what solution one takes, it becomes a race issue.
