Funny you bring that up. I have a lot of family in Cherry Hill. One of my cousins spent two years at Western but my aunt couldn’t help with transportation so she had to rely on the MTA. She would have to get up at like 5am and would get home till 6pm some days. She had enough and transferred to Southern which was still open at the time. And my aunt had the nerve to be mad about it

Damnn that’s fukked up. That shyt happens countless times man, the city (well the state really) to do something to invest in transit

Hogan fat ass vetoed the Transit Safety and Investment Act after it got through both houses of the Maryland General Assembly.

it would’ve provided an increase of $123 million annually to MTA for repairs. I read there’s currently a 2 BILLION dollar backlog on transit repairs (buses, MARC tracks, switches etc.)

Our next governor needs to be someone that’s gonna invest in Baltimore man

If it's like Detroit, it's simple. They didn't like virtual school and didn't log in. We can have various opinions on the lock down. But bottom line, the damage it has done to Black people in tremendous.

I know somebody from Maryland (not sure if she worked in B-More) and she said they had the same problems we had. The donated tablets by Microsoft were inferior. Was that by design? You decide. But they kept breaking down, software issues. And kids were like forget it. And gave up.

Kids don't care because their siblings & peers don't care. The parents either expect too much from the school system or the family just isn't fully invested in giving their children better lives.

Come on man. She's a stripper turn conservative grifter. She, like all politicians, don't really care about societal issues -- they pretend. She's married to a white guy. You think she gives a fukk about poor black kids in Baltimore raised in a broken home?
Link to a stripper past ?

That's a failure of the system. The White US Government impoverished the neighborhoods and then made education funding come from the neighborhood which created a vicious cycle. But since White Supremacy works by throwing a rock and hiding their hands the cause of this disaster is somehow unknown
  • OMG is it the parents?
  • OMG is it their culture?
  • OMG is it the rap music?
  • OMG is it their DNA?
No, it's muthafukkin' wide scale disenfranchisement in every facet of society thats the issue.

Some of that disenfranchisement is in the people's minds. At this point the "system" is no longer in position to hide information from us that would allow us to get ahead. You can go in the internet and learn about anything.

We need to stop caping for folks that don't value education. What do these kids spend their free time doing that they can't learn anything?

It begins and ends at home ,period .

If the parents don’t give a fukk or don’t create an environment that values education it doesn’t matter what a teacher does unless that kid has an internal drive and is self-motivated .


Last fall we had countless threads that had videos of kids in virtual classrooms acting a whole ass ..While nikkas laughed and giggled at that c00n shyt….months later we see data like this and act shocked and blame white supremacy.


nikkas gonna be blaming white supremacy when we all on Mars

No, we need to stop caping for White Supremacy. I'm all about personal accountability but what you're doing is not that IMO. You see, if the USA is track and field, White Americans didn't let Black Americans race at all in the beginning and when they did start, the race organizer broke their legs the second they started to see success.

The Black Americans healed up and started see success again and the race organizer decided to break their legs and then put hurdles in their lane. So now the Black American has to heal up with the broken legs and then hop over hurdles while the competition is healthy without hurdles in their lane.

Now if we take his same analogy and look at it like a marathon....we are running an infinite marathon and the White competitor is miles ahead of us because they don't have any hurdles in their path and never had their legs broken, in fact, they've been having people run next to them to give them water and sometimes give them a quick ride up the path so they can rest their legs.

Meanwhile we are struggling because our legs have healed in a disfigured state as we couldn't afford medical treatment and we have hurdles in our lane and the White competitors are saying that we just need to try harder. To make it worse, the race organizer allowed some people from Mexico and Asia to join and says "look, they are winning, what are Black people's excuse" but not pointing out that they don't have hurdles in their lane and their legs weren't broken.

You are basically saying "All of the leg breaking and hurdles is in your head, you can go on the internet to learn how to run faster". You're saying, the system can't hide the information but what about that hammer they keep using to break our legs?

No I basically said some of the disenfranchisement has been internalized. Then you came back and said your legs were broken with a hammer.

I think I got this one.

With the advent of the Internet, there's not really an excuse for this. If the school is failing the children, then it's on the parents to take that responsibility. When in reality the parents should be educating their own already. It's kids raising kids.

The curriculum is boring, if the kids don't care then the students don't, etc. This is a generational issue that can't be fixed quickly. It would need a massive change in thinking on everyone's part. When you're struggling financially, you don't really think past tomorrow or the next week.
