I don't need experience if we can program AI and have robots do it.:manny:

Breh we're both grown men, there's no reason to go this path. I'm simply letting you know what's going on.


You can ask any construction professional, trades won't be replaceable by robots anytime soon. I went to school and been around professionals for over 10 years.

That's fine breh. But don't act like a need for black doctors or lawyers isn't going be just as important especially with how racist our society is. College leads to those doctors and lawyers.

I agree but where is the money/funds going to come from to create and keep these organizations on a local, state and national scale?

How can we foster this as a curriculum and mission in schools, to literally be 'my brothers keeper' from pre-k to adulthood for men (and black men specifically)?
A better solution would be more Black Men in K-12 grades

Had a 7th grade teacher named Mr. Smith who made it his business to highlight Steve Biko and Apartheid during World History.

Had a 9th grade Health teacher who played us Antwon Fisher to highlight mental health.

Both of those things don’t happen without BM in teacher positions.

ROI on college degrees depends heavily on the major. Add in that K-12 education has been going downhill for years and you can explain some of the decline right there.

There is merit to the "college is worthless" spiel in terms of there being alternatives to 4-year degrees. Far more than in the older eras where going to college was viewed as the primary way out of poverty.

Yes they have.
Black women earned where they are at. It’s not at the expense of us because when qualified black men are available, they make more on the dollar than Black women. So it’s not coming at our expense.

They’re simply isn’t enough of us making ourselves worthy. There’s no propping up. Black women are educating themselves and earning their stripes..

And how can we avoid it being shut down or shouted down by academia?
Tommy J Curry talked about this in academia...few men in the field and anything that questions certain narratives is shot down. Him and Richard Reeves were both told not to make their books by peers because they focused on men.

While he simultaneously threatens to kill the Department Of Education, which funds 80%+ of the loans black people use to attend HBCUs? Good luck.

Incarceration is down. Multiple affordable options for higher education. Multiple openings for trade jobs that don’t require college. Multiple openings for fed jobs that don’t require college. And yet numbers for black men still look bad. I don’t get it. There are opportunities and many of us just aren’t doing anything. Something similar is happening with a lot of young white men…just existing, doing nothing.
You need to ask yourself . Why were men getting jobs in the past? Besides an ability to feed oneself what did it provide? Does it still do that?

We are not asking any questions. We're just saying I don't understand. We need to ask young brothers why. Do they not know? Do they not want to take the risk? What is it?
