I have two Masters' degrees, and I'm pursuing a third. Am I trying to prove anything to myself or anyone else? NO! I just like learning. If somebody doesn't like it, then they don't like it. What they think has nothing to do with me.

I seriously did not know that this was a "thing" among black men. However, America's lack of respect for intellectualism is a fault that leads us to simplistic thinking and mob rule.
