Question
Hi there! What do you think of the writings by John McWhorter? I enjoyed most of his book "Authentically Black."
McWhorter is a great author. I've not read the "Authentically Black" book, but have read "Self Sabotage: Losing the Race..." and found it quite enjoyable.
If you want a black author of more intellectual depth, I strongly recommend Thomas Sowell. He has written a great book "Knowledge and Decisions" that made for a great read (among many other of his great works).

Expertise
I can discuss conceptual problems in the policies of the black "leadership," the way that some government policies will really affect black Americans, as well as the history behind some current phenomena that one can observe. Being black man with a conservative bent (in that which concerns markets and government policy) alone invites many questions.
Experience
I have lived in Asia for over two years. Having lived in many places/seen many countries (just going on #20 now), I have become very pro-American in the last few years, since this place is actually THE most receptive to black people out of all the places that I have ever been. Also: I keep up with the news and am fairly well read, and can engage you on almost any topic. (It does seem that many of the thing that you see in America can be found in other countries, just with different players.)
