Black men attendance of HBCU declining

[Gritsngravy]

I'm waiting for posters to blame feminism at this point.

They would be extremely wrong as some of the staunchest ones that have books out see the decline in men as a whole as a problem that needs solving.

But feminism destroyed whatever black movements we thought we had

His message is bite sized social media content bullshyt. Talks enough to where he can stumble across being right, which he is at times. Is he even an author who has offered peer reviewed work?

Again his message literally is about black kids education, all this other shyt you talking is your feelings and dislike of dude

Their funding isn’t keeping up with the times

Black women are doing it. They have multiple voices and are doing it. You can sit there and lie to yourself.

You didn’t answer the question

College is not the only way to acquire a career with a decent income. There are apprenticeships programs and Trades that also lead to well paying careers and normally do not incur the debt that going to college does,

So our concern should be based on the why a lot of young brothers are not attending instead of just the fact that they are not attending.

This is a never ending nonsense statement.

Sure, it *literally* isn't the only way to acquire a career with a decent income BUT Black men aren't flooding apprenticeship and trade programs in the absence of a college education - they're stuck with menial jobs, working for less than minimum wage, involved in illicit activities to get income, or on the lower-rung of corporate America *without* the completed college education.

If you ask young Black men why they're attending they tend to give the same responses: 1) college "isn't for them" (bullshyt); 2) college isn't with it (bullshyt); 3) they want to be entrepreneurs and college won't help them succeed in that (bullshyt); or 4) they hated school. The last one is a mixed bag, it can be legitimate (they dealt with prejudice, targeting, or were in a poorly supported school), illegitimate (they weren't trying, got in trouble for things within their control) or something harder to pin down (failure to accommodate disability, parental failure to prepare them, ill-suited school curriculum).

The problem is largely social reinforcement and creating/sustaining a pipeline.

Black male enrollment in PWIs is also an issue.

What are you not getting?

Harvard trained scholar in 1996 says we have not transitioned to service based industries and you are asking “Adjust?”

We have a major reading comprehension problem in this country.

Black people in general is in a bad spot, you seem like you on a crusade to make it that black women supposedly doing better and achieving more than black men, like you dividing the people

So yes it’s weird to use the term “adjusted” comparing black men and women place in the country when we both fukked up

Most of these men did not skip college to do trades. They are trying to make a living trading Forex, doing gig apps, or crypto.

His message is about outcomes from not adjusting to a service based economy. An economy that is fueled by one’s education.

Good lord.

“aDJUsT”? Why are you the ONLY one who in here who doesnt get it?

Last year DC, I happened to be in the area where Howard had a graduation. It looked like a women's college with the few dude's there. Still there are two problems. The education system is not prioritizing boys, especially black ones. Then you have to factor parents and communities being on the same boat and it's sad. Last week I was at a park where kids were practicing football in pads and the season is over. Meanwhile, you do not see that same energy when it comes to academics and getting kids signed up in STEM competitions.

Stop posting. This isnt a Black people “in general” thread.
