hmm lets unpack this a bit, i certainly agree that people shoudl get more ito coding even before high school, but i would not dismiss college, in the tech field, its possible to succeed without a degree but not having a college degree would put you at a huge disadvantage and also its not just about knowledge, its about networking and nothing can compare to the networking that goes on in college
about politics, politics isnt going to save black people, increasing our knowledge and skills will
so i partially co-sign your post
