Before I say this, blame capitalism. But there are things to take into account for those that want to survive:

Most brehs I meet now outside of school are unwilling to get in school. If a dude has no record there is nothing stopping them from getting fafsa and attending a cc. It takes a while and effort but once you graduate in a stem field there will be an opportunity to have money. Most people don't do this because it's easier to whine on the internet, but even the lowest class person can do this. And people apply for scholarships like it is a game as well, people are able to make like $50k a year just off of strategic application.

This is pretty much what I did/am doing now. I know a breh that is already signed to make six figures when he graduates at a very reputable company. There are scholarships and opportunities for Black men (even Black fraternities have scholarships for incoming students). There are men in their fields willing to give a brother the advice they will need to succeed academically and professionally. But again brehs would rather whine about "they had girl scouts at the after school program so that is why I suck". Some of y'all need bigger tampons than I do.

A lot of these office jobs (entry level, lower management) prefer women; you can pay them slightly less (those savings add up over thousands of employees), they don't seem to stay as long (meaning they never reach max pay and you can replace them with a cheap alternative), they are "more educated" (filling degree requirements), and they count as a minority hire. HR Depts are filled with women hiring women at the directive of white men. A lot of these jobs are so low skilled even a teenager could do them yet they require a degree or a degree holding candidate will get preference; this pushes a lot of black men out of the running straight away. We're in fierce competition with women for non management office jobs and Mexicans for labor intense jobs. I have no idea what white men are doing to be in this predicament but black men.........man, just don't give up but you will feel like it. Also, more black men need to go to school to get bullshyt degrees as you'd be surprised how many jobs use the need for those basic degrees to bar you from consideration.

And this is affecting each race differently. One thing is for sure, this many young men without a purpose is not a good thing for the country. Men without a purpose or responsibility leads to destructive things.
The government gonna have to start another World War to put these young dudes to work.

If they don’t, crime is gonna skyrocket again next decade with these 2000s babies not having shyt to do.

I said in another thread recently that when young, able bodied men are out and about begging on the streets for spare change that is the signs of a diseased and dying nation. Employers look at you if you're asking for a handout when you apply for a position they posted. The hunger games like lengths you have to go through to even get an entry level job today are humbling and humiliating. The number of workplace shootings will rise, by both employees, candidates and "customers." There will also be more killings of apartment landlords in the years to come. People will literally have nothing left to lose but unfortunately such a series of mass violence events against these targets will be necessary for any reversal.

No, this doesn't apply to black men at all. Especially from gen x to now.
"It's a she thing"
"Black women's empowerment"
"Black girls rock"
and about 90% of black media and most social programs...for y'all and only y'all. Stop trying to shoehorn us in with white men because you shook of them, that's WEAK, and y'all have marketed yourselves as SKROWNG for about 30 years now, so what is it?:usure:
Y'all "educated, but floating on credit" folks are TRULY naive and gassed off of your own fumes.
It's not an education issue, either. Look at the "degreez" y'all get.
Early child development? :mjlol:
Social work?:mjlol:
Psychology? :mjlol:
Nursing makes MONEY and requires a lot more schooling than you think. These women are NOT becoming nurses en masse or they wouldn't be living off VISA, they're getting any degree they can to say they have one. It is a status symbol a lot of the time.
WITH NO VALUE...outside of the value extracted from your finances to pay loans while you work at a call center with nikkas who have GEDs. :troll:
I've been seeing it for years. I've seen degrees posted on section 8 walls.:wow: Even when you fall off, the padding is there.
Society, schools, and the current education system are built to promote women, so men already in place (and their sons) will have NO competition, and a weak, pliable workforce that can be controlled more because they have children. Less likely to unionize, and when they do, those unions are usually corporate sponsored and defeat the purpose.
You want to maintain the matriarchy managed by white supremacy because Y'ALL can't function without that "padding"
Do you really know what "high spending power" and "most highly educated" MEANS?
Student loan debt and a propensity to live beyond ones means, fake wealth signaling.
It means you are FOOD to the financial industry like we are to the prison industrial complex.
Y'all so desperate for continued validation that you eat it up.
If this padding didn't exist, and you REALLY had to FIGHT FOR IT (like us), our population would be much smaller.
Stop acting like you doing something as a group. It's a lie.


I stopped reading after you mentioned black men because I never mentioned black men. I said uneducated men. The fact you singled out a group of men I never mentioned means you didn't read my post to comprehend it you read it to automatically disagree. Have a good day.

Also it's remarkable that a lot of these large corporations or the descendants of giant trusts were created by men with little or no formal education; functionally illiterate cac farm boys and slum children. Now, you have to have a bachelor's to inspect restaurants for health code violations at 25k per year. So many great minds lost to the abyss because of these arbitrary barriers.
