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.
