Couldn't even make it one post before somebody came in here with some negativity 
The vast majority of people on my FB celebrating graduation are black women

But we knew this already 
Most black women I know, two out of 3 of my aunts and the women I went to school with, have master's degrees. Meet a lot of women in their 50s pursuing master's degrees. My homegirl from high school got her second master's in another field 
Two others have law degrees, one is practicing and I'm not sure about the other. And it's not just in garbage degrees, I see a lot of Black women, my sibling included, in STEM.
The problem is that education doesn't automatically correlate with higher pay, especially for us. So a lot of times sisters get out there with just a bachelor's and no one wants to give us a fair shake or a job at all, so we decide to go back to school and level up. Plus 90s kids had a whole TV show pretty much dedicated to telling us how important college was, commercials telling us a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I think this is the result.

Which stats are you referring to?
Women in general are underrepresented in STEM, obviously. It only stands to reason that black women will follow in the vein of that trend. However, considering our numbers relative to the general population, I think we're making progress. We still have much more progress to make, of course.
All that aside, my personal observation that black women aren't all getting
degrees wasn't being offered as indelible proof of anything. It's just that, an observation. Every NSBE gathering I've attended was majority female. Fam is studying engineering. I'm hearing about organizations like black girls code. The only black software engineer I know personally is a woman (she didn't get a degree, though). Growing up in the 90s, I rarely saw or heard about black women doing these things.
You are a miserable piece of shyt, and you obviously haven't achieved shyt, fukkboi.

Do you have counterargument to what I said? Why spread lies and myths?

Do you have any proof as to the process black women are making in STEM compared to other women? That's all I see.
Please note that black women comprise 6% of the general population.
So, as I said, relative to the population, black women are making progress. Yet, our levels of education do not correlate to fair treatment in the workplace or employment, which is also why more black women are becoming entrepreneurs.

The above graph says that black women make up less than 1% of all female scientists and engineers in the USA. As a percentage Black females would have to be 6% of the female scientist and engineer group to even say that they are reaching the same level of success as other groups of females.
Anyway, I commemorate black women for their devotion to education but let's not misrepresents facts in order to push agendas.

If you read that much, then you should also be able to read the fact that this thread and my original comment was about levels of educational achievement among black women, not how it correlates to employment ( I'll get to that in a sec)The above graph says that black women make up less than 1% of all female scientists and engineers in the USA.

And if you made it that far and weren't being facetious, you would also see how extraordinary it is that
despite making up 6% of the population, black women are actually overrepresented in S&E, comprising 10% of graduates and 13% of postgraduates.
But if you want to talk work, let's talk work. As of 2015, black women represent about 2% of the S&E workforce and black men 3%. White women comprise less than a quarter and white men more than half. So, again, relatively speaking, we're still putting in that work. Of course, we still have a long way to go.
