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.
How many of you remember the Greek myth of Odysseus? Well, for those of you who don't, this is the ancient tale of a Greek soldier's adventures while traveling home after the Trojan War.
This myth has given me the means to artuiculate a great truth: black Americans are prisoners of their own addiction to the "lotus root" of social welfare (AFDC/TANF, Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc.), liberal social engineering (Affirmative Action, etc.) and greedy pipedreams (reparations, etc.).
