Readers usually keep a TBR or To Be Read list for them to keep track of what books they intend to read at some point in the future, whether it’s new releases or older titles they haven’t gotten to yet. This list can also help readers stay organized, make better reading choices, and avoid feeling overwhelmed by a large collection of unread books.
Colonel Vaughan Witten, Ph.D. was born in Anawalt, West Virginia in a small coal mining village of about 2000 people, McDowell County. He was educated in a small one-room schoolhouse with one teacher who taught six different grades in different corners of a small space. After grade school, he graduated from Washington High School in London, WV at the age of 15.
He is a retired Air Force Command Chief Master Sergeant. Anchored with a Ph.D. in Psychology from N.C. State University, he is seeking to educate and share with his Black race as well as the general American population his hypothesis that a sea change in work ethic, discipline, order, and responsible behavior is necessary for Black success in America.
“Learned Helplessness: The Poison Pill Threat to Black America” by Colonel Vaughan Witten talks about the self-destructive behavior of the American Black male, his delusional belief of victimization by a white society as the primary reason for his failure to acclimate and succeed in today’s capitalistic America.
This engrained worldview thereby sufficiently blinds him and the general Black culture to the concept that discipline, sacrifice, and industry are their only escape from their dilemma instead of their rearview blame, pity, and destructive behavior.
This helplessness, learned and absorbed in their psyche, negates any macro attempt to thrive as an independent, self-sufficient, and competitive subculture in America.
