My 18,000 word thesis earned me a Masters of Biblical Studies degree (a wholistic plan to empower low-income black America). I'm here to network for publication and to seek out like-minded African Americans (curtis.hervey@yahoo.com). As a Distinguished Graduate of OCS, I seek to apply battle-tested military principles to solving black pathology by issuing a national warning order. I'm an iconoclast, my doctrine is Washingtonian (as in Booker T.) and my role is that of Socratic Gadfly.
I know my tone is gruff, but I want to explain that I have a sense of urgency due to the imminent meltdown of our economy, etc. I just sense that black America is in chaos. And all the polictical correctness, glamorizing a dystopian society (whitewashing) is only making the situation worse.
If I didn't love so-called "black" people (a racist misnomer), I wouldn't bother. But, I love them. And we correct those we love.
I have been obsessed with finding solutions to black America's social ills now for over 12 years. I concluded that the problem was with our perspective. Our perspective is too anglocentric. It we would simply let whites go and not depend on them, stop expecting them to rescue us or respond to our petitions for redress, we would be able to focus on solutions.
I started with this query: "What if blacks were completely on their own? How could we resolve our own problems without government intervention or any form of aid from outside the black community?
Try this exercise and you will be surprised at how liberating it is and how many creative courses of action are actually available to us.
And, please never make the mistake of accusing me of "blaming the victim" because I don't perceive blacks to be victims. Or, by calling me an Uncle Ruckus, Uncle Tom, Sellout, etc. because I have never actually been a member of the black community. I've always been perceived as an Oreo and been treated as a pariah. Now, how can an Oreo "betray" a group he was never apart of in the first place?
I am an African American which is different from being a black victim.
I am Batman and the black community is my Gotham City.
