Here's your pat on the back for doing what you are suppose to do and acting like it's an accomplishment like a real leader

such negativity , you need to get you a degree too

good News as far as degrees are concerned. Obviously there’s more steps to it after the degree.

Most brehs don't fukk around with bullshyt majors either. I remember taking this professional development course and one of the first days we had to introduce ourselves, our majors, career plans, etc to the rest of the class and all the brehs were majoring in Engineering/Business meanwhile alot of the bros were majoring in shyt like General Studies and Health Science

Don’t let anybody tell you black men aren’t putting in work. We are Kings.

The latest jobs report indeed shows that these gaps had closed just a bit. In December 2017, the unemployment rate of the American populace as a whole was 4.1 percent. The racial breakdown, as usual, shows some sharp discrepancies: Only 3.7 percent of white Americans were unemployed at the close of the year. The unemployment rate for Hispanics was more than a percentage point higher, at 4.9 percent. And for black Americans, unemployment was just under twice the rate for white Americans, at 6.8 percent.

Do we work? Yes.

But, a degree with no job is a plug with no outlet.

shyt won't get fixed if we're always trying to win debates or celebrate.

As we should. We are the only race where we lack behind our women.

it’s a must that all black men major in money getter careers.

Any news is good considering the narrative that’s out there is black men ain’t shyt.

Look. I hate to be that guy. But this stat, as good as it is, belongs to the 90s/early 2000s. The stat that we should be looking at is how many black people are creating businesses and hiring black people. And in what industries. Because if all these black folk are getting degrees only to make other people money, then at some point, one of us is gonna look up and say, "what's the point?".

To stabilize themselves and change the direction of their own families. It's a lot to ask of someone, not just to start a business, but build it large enough to take on employees, and it is ok if that's not the route they want to go or get to successfully.

From a parenting perspective, I know plenty of people who were raised in the poverty and their children are not being raised that way, mainly due to getting college degrees and gaining a lucrative skills in their areas expertise. Things like purchasing a home, saving up for emergency and college funds or simply being able to rent in neighborhoods where the schools are decent, are ways people are making changes for themselves, but also has such a huge impact on the legacy they are trying to build for their family.

I don't disagree with any of that, in general. But we've been doing what you've described for 50 years. And we're talking about it like we're gonna focus mainly on that for another 50 years. If that's the plan, then that's a problem.

And mind you, I said,

Because if all these black folk are getting degrees only to make other people money

Which it seems like we're gonna and treat like a goal for another 50 years.
