Air Force Veteran Publishes Book on Black Success in America

Learned Helplessness: The Poison Pill Threat to Black America, a new book by Colonel Vaughan Witten, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Learned Helplessness: The Poison Pill Threat to Black America discusses t he 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.
