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.
Don't ask, don't tell (DADT) is reminiscent of the prejudice and bigotry blacks encountered not very long ago when attempting to join the Armed Forces.
If we ignore the persecution of others, it won't be long before the persecutors come for us.
This reminds me of an Aesop parable about the axman and the trees: the larger trees felt safe and secure and indifferent to the plight of the saplings being chopped down...until the axmen had depleted the sapling supply and then began to chop down the large trees..."what affects one of us, affects us all for we are all part of the same human family."
