I'll post my reply from another thread going on in HL:[FONT="]Brehs,[/FONT]
[FONT="] Idk, I just think that as Blacks, we've lost our way. Education used to mean something significant to us. Especially, when you reminisce on our oppressed history, throughout our chattel tenure in the United States. We literally, fought collectively, inch by inch, for law or legislature to be passed in our favor. Now we have, eligible youth and adults who are still against suffrage. Though some critics may argue that the playing field isn't economically sound, the game is more feasible than it's ever been. Thanks to technology, we can see how “the Man" is trying economically cripple us. (see Romney video).Heck a mere 60-70 years ago, we as a people were being beaten ,harassed ,killed , and openly discriminated against on a daily basis. Now the number one enemy to a person of color, is another person of color.
[/FONT][FONT="]Not to mention a little over a century ago, we were lynched for trying to educate and empower ourselves, now many of our people believe it's a conspiracy to educated yourself to fullest (see anti-science movement). Being functionally literate was a crime, and getting a hold of text was a very hard and secretive process. Now we have scholarly-level education available at our fingertips, and the majority of people still choose to do the latter. This infuriates me on a daily basis, how a few decades after the civil right amendment was passed, collectively as a group our progress has been minimal. In society we’re still being portrayed as nothing more than brutes (dumb jocks) and desperate sex symbols (not in a good light). We've become so complacent on blaming others that we can't even triumph to the finish line, a mere few feet away.[/FONT]

[FONT="]There's no excuse 2012 not go to "college". Even less excuse, to not graduate high school. No excuses, no apologies on my part.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Go to school get good grades and you'll be set. Nobody said you have to put yourself in debt either.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]High school >>> CC >>> University.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Guess what, financial aid at Junior Colleges cover the "whole" tuition. If you get a part time job, you can save up, more than enough to attend a decent state school. If you have to take loans, a two year bid won’t ruin you. Also, if your grades are good enough; there are numerous scholarships and grants that’ll cover your expenses.[/FONT]
when i was younger, blacks made fun of other blacks for being smart
i would hear ppl clown others for talking proper (talking white as they call it)
ppl thought it was cool to be the class clown and get detentions

I guess this is news to the rest of the world, but this was already a hot button topic in NYC since forever. Minority males, specifcally blacks and latinos have ridiculously low graduation rates here. Heck back in the 80s and early 90s, I think it was even worse. I remember that there was Thomas Jefferson High School in Brownsville/ENY where the graduation rate for the school was like 25%. They eventually closed it down for that and other reasons with several other schools by splitting them into smaller schools. Some improvement has been made but not enough to balance things out.
Either way, IMO, NYS is ultra liberal and for that reason the system is totally jacked. They think they can just subsidize everything. They subsidize parenting with state funding from every angle imaginable. They've religiously made this education issue into a debate of a "system" problem rather than a problem about poor parenting and personal responsibility. These politicians contiuously sit back and tell these parents and kids "it aint yalls faults"...we need "more money" etc etc, while failing to realize that money isn't really the answer here.

shyt I got clown everyday for the way I talked......they didn't understand my dad was a copy editor for news papers and all my life he corrects my grammar and slang wasn't allowed in house.........when I really think about all the stupid shyt I did in high school was so people stop calling me an Oreo
But that shyt changed by senior year
Nobody clowned me, I'd probably kick their ass 
Being able to clown someone intellectually + physically =

I write for one
but real shyt. kids are so dumb. Lol.
I know everyone is probably going to shyt on him for this line of thinking but I don't completely disagree. I think women in a general sense are a large motivation for what men aspire to. For example, dressing a certain way, driving a certain car, attending/graduating college etc. will attract a particular type of woman. The inverse will still attract women because there's always some woman out there who will take in the scraps out of mere desperation.

nikka the things women will make us do is crazy..me and my homie had plans one day, then we was driving down the street, then we saw two above average lookin women goin into the student union..we both said "EFF THOSE PLANS" and went parked, and went straight into the union bra...now if a above average girl will make us do that, imagine black women having higher standards would do to black men as a whole.
