Tell that to African American boys brutalized and killed by cops in the streets whose ancestors were mutilated, castrated, hung on trees and burned alive (while the authorities turned a blind eye) still no more than thirty years ago, women who live in fear because society views their bodies as meat, immigrants who face slander and threat to their lives every day, and persons living in abject poverty who are told that it's their own fault.
America has only ever been America for some. The realities overseas are tied into the very same realities that minorities at home are trying to raise our awareness of, and if you don't think so, you don't know your history. There is no "cult of victimhood." There is a reality of victimhood created by white supremacist capitalist Christian patriarchy around the world. All that white male Christians have to complain about is that they can't push everybody else around quite as much anymore.
But then, false charity and denial of systemic reality has always been the hallmark of Western Christianity. "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Dom Helder Camara
