Black men attendance of HBCU declining

[Neuromancer]

My theory is that our society has reached a comfort point where a lot of men are content just to get by as long as they can play video games, watch movies, browse the internet, and buy some entertainment items. You can do that with a meh job and a roommate in many areas of the country. They have no interest in women, they don’t have basic social skills and they just want to be in a dark room by themselves after work.

Is this where we stop with the line of questioning or do we go deeper?

Go find an uneducated podcast.

Thread started about Black men and college enrollment and you are telling me Im dividing people.

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

Black men got mamas right, sisters, aunts, grandmas etc, doesn’t black men failure also hurt them?

Yes the thread is about black men and education and you turned it into some boys vs girls shyt, yes you 100% dividing the people with your talking points

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).

What does college "isn't for them mean"? Do they see no value in college education and if so why not?

Robots. I'd be more worried about who's gonna take care of our health.

That's a gross oversimplification that people just run with

Robots ain't even close to being able to do a lot of trades

It's just as gross an oversimplification as "college isn't the only way to make money."

Your emotions made it a vs thing. The only vs I brought up was How opportunities in the workforce made black women more ready for a changing society than it did for Black men who have yet to “adjust” which seems to go over your head. How one sub set of Blacks are outpacing the other and the reasons for it. Blacks are capable. Thats my point . and our women are showing it and I explained the reasons for it.

You turned it into a vs thing.

You are the only one on this

Think about this


Most of the young black men represented in the movie Higher Learning wouldn’t be there now. They let popular culture convince them that college isn’t beneficial. Yet almost everyone I know with real money went to college. Make it make sense please.

Colleges cost more than ever RN. and the ROI is not guaranteed.

I'm assuming you old n just out of touch.

No niqqa. I READ HIS BOOKS.

You HAVENT.

He was speaking on Black MEN.

Why the fukk are you pretending to even know the man’s work?

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.

Feminism affects men and women as a whole.

Alright enough fighting. How do we solve this?
