This. I'm gonna throw a fit if this thread devolves into a bunch of people saying "well he's right." fukkouttahere.

Black people should go to college, period. If you want to go to an HBCU, go. If you want to go to a "PWI" then go. Going to college is the best decision you can make for your long term financial status. Go to college, major in something concrete (teaching, medical field, business field, engineering, computer science, biology, etc) and make a life for yourself.

And if college is not for you guess what? That's not the end of the story. There are well paying trades jobs you can study for. There are well paying federal jobs out here you can get. Whatever you can do to find success, do it. Lets go black men, we got this.
Hustlers online are telling us that college is stupid. College increases income … that’s what I’ve seen and experienced.

Clarance is just an enigma of contradictions. He's like a faux-black nationalist c00n. :mjlol: Nothing he does makes sense. Jim Crow Clarance wants to go back to Jim Crow Era (which is hilarious since his wife is white), but will side with politicians that will purposefully underfund HBCU's. :mjlol:

A few quotes from a great book that a highly recommend, Supreme Discomfort.

"One bitter lesson Thomas has taken from his experience is that racism is a sad, immutable fact. The sooner black people realize that and gird themselves for that reality, he says, the better off they will be."

"Ketanji Brown Jackson remembers sitting across from Thomas at lunch with a quizzical expression on her face. She and Wu were in the same class of Breyer clerks. Jackson, who is black, said Thomas "spoke the language," meaning he reminded her of the black men she knew. "But I just sat there the whole time thinking, 'I don't understand you. You sound like my parents. You sound like people I grew up with.' But the lessons he tended to draw from the experiences of the segregated South seemed to be different than those of everybody I know."


And for my JBO brethren:

"He remembers Thomas being all fired up about seeing the film. "My favorite movie of all time is Deep Throat," Thomas told Johnson, "I've seen that motherfukker six times."

"As a young federal bureaucrat in Washington, Thomas rented adult videos from Graffiti, a store off Dupont Circle. It was there that Fred Cooke, the former D.C. corporation counsel, saw him at the checkout line during the late 1980's with a copy of The Adventures of Bad Mama Jama, a triple-X-rated flick featuring the sexual exploits of a hugely overweight black woman with abnormally large breasts."

Clearance Thomas is not only a c00n, he is a hypocrite. He did not go to an HBCU for his undergraduate studies, he went to The College of the Holy Cross a private Jesuit liberal arts college in Worcester, Massachusetts. He has been steadily moving towards separate but equal talking points since he stepped foot into the Supreme Court, which was why he was chosen by George H.W. Bush in the first place to replace the great Thurgood Marshall.

What I want is for them to finish that investigation into him taking bribes. He needs to be impeached and replaced with a Justice who is not a lapdog of White Supremacy.

He was a Black Panther though. So his viewpoint falls more in sync with what they preached than yours on that matter. Your describing more of an assimilationist approach.
...ok.

I've got a degree from one of the best universities in the country, plus another that's pretty solid. Both have helped me immensely when it comes to employment, promotions, etc. Go to the best school for you.
