This past week, Dr. Alvin Jones, of the Paradise Radio Network, based in Oxford, North Carolina, interviewed Angela.  The audio can be heard here.  His terrestial radio outlets, WCHQ and WHNC, cover North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.   However, his extensive library of past interviews with an impressive array of world leaders, celebrities, and others is available worldwide on his website.  His program and website carry a very positive message of empowerment — as evidenced by his statement entitled, Only.

Only

You are only what you give
You reap only where you’ve sown
You attract only what you respect
You create only what you say
You become only what you honor
You overcome only what you face
You trust only what you believe
You have only what you give away
You lose only what you hold on to
And your goodness is only reflected in your legacy

Alvin Augustus Jones

That’s right, that’s one of the latest “I can’t hep it.  I’m a victim.” theories to emanate from American academia as highlighted in reporter Suzan Clarke’s article that appeared yesterday in Gannett’s The Journal News and their online arm, LoHud.com, “a multi-media company serving the Lower Hudson Valley (New York’s Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties) since 1850.”    Entitled “RCC (Rockland Community College) speaker links effects of slavery to substance abuse,” the report goes on to explain Joy DeGruy Leary’s hypothesis that ”trauma of slavery remains a contributing factor in alcohol and drug abuse among blacks.”  Dr. Leary (bio from World People’s Blog) is a researcher and assistant professor at Oregon’s Portland State University Graduate School of Social Work.  She is noted for her “Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome” theory — it even has its own book (review), conferences and website to lend it credibility and launch the good doctor’s career as a traveling salesman of victimhood.  At first, we thought that this must be some kind of joke website, like the “Flat Earth Society.”  (No offense to the FES.)  Then, when — thanks to blogger ”Third Wave Dave,” it came to our attention that there are some, relatively intelligent people, that actually take this seriously.  And fortunately, there are those, like TWD and Andrea Shea King (The Radio Patriot), that don’t.  (Here’s the link to TWD’s post, ”The Plague of ‘Victimhood’ Spreads to the Northwest” and the link to ASK’s post, “How Liberals Bamboozle America.”)

We appreciate TWD citing Angela’s book, Bamboozled, as the “cure” for this “syndrome.”  If you know someone who’s afflicted, you can get a signed copy (Think of it as a prescription, signed by a physician.) of Bamboozled to “cure” the “patient.”
