Stories like this make me hate this world. I hate those cacs for hating on that sistas intelligence, yet it bothers me why in the 21st century she was the first. The first. Why does that bother me so much? It just does..

it should bother you, i dont think black people, even educated black people, fully grasp how far behind black people are in STEM fields

I remember her. She was a few years ahead of me in the Meyerhoff Scholarship Program down at UMBC. Flyness. I know Dr. Hrabowski is proud. Clap for her.

I just remembered this comment. So would you know the program direction she is speaking about exactly who told her this? Did you ever come across him?

Good for this girl. I'm an engineering major and its annoying to see black folks continue to tell their sons,daughters,neices,nephews,etc to be the cliche; A doctor, a nurse, a lawyer.

Just straight up jumping on the bandwagon and this is why the STEM field is lacking more black people.

I hope this girl realizes that computer science majors tend to work for college dropout. Steve jobs, bill gates, Zuckerberg are all college dropouts. A well executed novel idea is far more valuable than a wack ass PHD

I heard English majors tend to dropout of college because I heard Kanye did..........

:birdman:

Lol at naming three people and saying "tend to...". Man be quiet and give the woman props.

I'm the ONLY 'Black' person in my current courses and I only attend part-time.

The shyt is sad, man, and infuriating.

Hope this sister accomplishes all she aspires to.

I hate to break it to you, but if you're over the age of 21 thats not really anything to be proud of

seniors in high school are touchin that weight

But you're forgetting one thing. Those seniors dont have brown belts with 2 stripes in brazillian jiujitsu. They dont even know what to do with their weight or leverage compared to me so in essence them lifting weights is meaningless and useless.

:heh: I was doing that when I was like 19...

Serious Squat - YouTube

Matter of fact i was dead lifting 475lbs as well...

Does that negate the fact that im powerful? Does that negate the fact that i have a brown belt in brazillian jiujitsu and someone like you, despite your strength is like a baby in my grasp? Yea, you need to step into a brazillian jiujitsu dojo and realize how useless strength is in the hands of someone like you. So much potential squandered by a lack of skill and disicpline.

When I was younger I wish I had kept up with math or at least had someone in my ear advising me on what classes to take. No one gave a damn about my education; even my parents besides asking me "you doing good in school"? Adults need pay more attention to the direction their kids are going in academically. See what classes they are signing up for. High school counselors for the most part don't give a damn. They only pay attention to the popular kids, very smart kids and the really terrible students. Average kids get looked over and forgotten about.

These STEM fields, you have to be good in math. I never even took calculus, so I couldn't make in it any of them. But I stay on my nieces and nephews about their math skills.

the shyt is pathetic, the sad thing is that racism does not explain it, racism explains it a little in that you will likely face it like this chick did but avoiding the racism in the STEM fields isnt the solution as this chick also shows, if we avoid fields that are racist or have few blacks that isnt gonna take us anywhere in the long run

a large part of the explanation is that black people simply dont focus on those fields, i think we have to focus on it deliberately not just casually like we do now

Black Parents asking 2 times a week if your doing well in school and getting angry when your not has got to be one of the most laughable things I have ever witnessed in my life.

Its almost comedy. Not to sound harsh but many times they don't even know the basics of what they are getting angry at you at compared to someone say like the Chinese or Indians.

They think asking once in the blue moon whether you are doing good makes a difference when they aint teach shyt or try to relearn stuff when they realized they were gonna have a kid so they would be prepared in advance.

I'm telling you its comedy man.

You watch shows written by homosexuals who wouldnt fight a ticket instead of being in a dojo learning brazillian jiujitsu. Sad. Shows like this keep men pathetic, and weak. I never seen no fruit booty come in like :wrist: Lets grapple yea. He will get his arm popped and will never come back again with that gay shyt.



This what we do fakkit. I hear keyboard warriors are tough in their own right.

Relax bro it's not that serious,it's joke, I don't even watch that show.

I'm not a fighter anyways and far from being WEAK.. :comeon:

Fighting is only an instinctively last resort, when "fight or flight" kick ins, mainly because individuals throughout society would rather shoot than quarrel...
