College Freshman Enrollment Stats: White enrollment fell by 5% and Black enrollment plummeted 16.9%

[Wild self]

I am not saying black men shouldn't go to college but a lot of us don't really want to go so why not encourage young brehs to go to trade school or apply for an apprenticeship? it's a shortage in a lot of blue collar jobs and you will get hired asap and they pay well and you can provide for your family college isn't for anyone What's wrong with blue collar jobs

The reason why it ain't attractive to many young black men because we subconsciously think that education is a "white"or "feminine" thing. It's like we need more white collar black professional males to be in position of influence and authority. Skilled blue collar jobs are fine, but have a quick expiration date because of how fast bodies get broken down. How many healthy 55+ years olds still do day to day work u der extremely strain??

Im not. Just to do that to AVOID intellectual development is bothersome. It shouldn't be one OR the other.

We need to focus on getting the literacy rates up first, before we even start on the college stuff. the stats on us are not looking good anywhere academically

I just finished reading this black professor speaking on this and he mentioned it started plummeting in the beginning of the 2010s

Problem is the coli and social media yell you don’t need a education, go online, start a business, and all other bullshyt

It’s crazy how black folks love to yell we doing better than the other older generations but in reality we looking dumber and dumber compared to the past generations

Reminder: California university used to be free until black people and others started using it to get educated and were becoming radicalized against unrestrained capitalism, imperialism and white supremacy.

Ronald Reagan v. UC Berkeley - JSTOR Daily

In the late 1960s, gubernatorial candidate Ronald Reagan made political hay by picking a fight with UC Berkeley over student protest and tenured “radicals.”

The way out of this is for states(who actually care about their people) to reintroduce free or HEAVILY subsidized education. States can also pass local regulations on digital things, some posters have to use VPNs to get on pornhub because republican states require an ID to be uploaded. So theoretically a state could demand that Twitter or Facebook change their algorithms or require state ID to be uploaded so people are made 100% accountable for the nazi shyt they post online.

so what they're saying is...school is more expensive and Gen Z are opting not to go into crippling debt for it

They opting to just build up credit card debt so they can look fly on SM

My daughter gets a scholarship to Grand Valley State thru her school so no matter what she's going lol.

I want her at least to go her first year out of high school so she doesn't jump towards entertainment while feeling grown.

She really doesn't seem like the club type so I think she will be good.

Honestly there is more money to be made in trades. I had a guy come out to fix my AC. He used to be a Airplane mechanic, but made far more money fixing AC's which are much easier than planes. Black folks need to get the trades on lock. That's the real come up. Learn all you can for 5 years then open your own business.

I guess folks ain’t satisfied till foreigners are majority of the teachers in the states
