Peter's paradox

The Peter paradox was coined when trying to explain how a person could simultaneously be incredible nice but also a massive dick. It is believed the occurrence of the Peter paradox is caused by a form of cognitive dissonance, brought on my long term emotional turmoil and misuse of alcohol. The term was named after the subject of the initial discussion, Peter.
"Jane was so supportive when me and Tom broke up, but now she wont stop making fun of me for going out with the jerk."
"Jane can be a real bitch some times, I just don't know why she does it."
"It's Peter's paradox Sarah, we'll just never know."

Paradoxical ebullience

Paradoxical ebullience is the unfounded belief in Black progress in the face of socioeconomic counterevidence. The gap between Black relative socioeconomic position and their racial attitudes. The thesis of paradoxical ebullience argues that Blacks’ understanding of Black group interests, including their worsening socioeconomic position, has shifted those interests from the collective to the individual, and the method to achieve those interests has shifted from protest politics to electoral politics. Additionally, paradoxical ebullience supposes that these trends have political ramifications for Blacks that lead to negative economic consequences. In short, attitudes that are incongruent with Blacks’ reality limit their collective political will to address their worsening economic position and jeopardize policies that provide economic benefits for Blacks.
BIPOC who are excessively optimistic about the future in the face of racial and other forms of oppression suffer from paradoxical ebullience.
