college should be free.

It should be but it's doing far too good as a barrier of entry into even the most basic fields. Also, as jobs/careers (not the McJobs that fuel so much of the numbers now) decline it's use as an obstacle of entry will be even more critical. There's a shortage of good paying jobs that's being well hidden by a high number of low paying McJobs and ridiculous requirements that bar people from better paying careers/positions.

You are speaking to the choir on this one breh.

I have religiously pointed out how college tuition prices have increased like clockwork despite the fact that the salary for the positions you get post-grad have not.
How can my education cost more and more if the workforce is not valuing it more???

shyt is a travesty. I'm probably one of the most anti-college brehs on this forum, despite going to a pretty good one myself:pachaha:

Funny thing is back in my freshman year of college, came across an article which predicted this shyt. It makes sense though. There's been a lot of women empowerment classes and educational things geared that's been geared towards girls for decades and less shyt geared towards boys. It got to the point where boys are targeted to fail in the classroom because it's more catered to girls. Boys are more hands on learning and girls are listening and lecturing learning. That same targeted group with all that change all grew up into the millenials we have today. More millenial men are in unequipped to deal with the workplace and life leading up to this. So you have men being phased out the workplace and women taking over far more educated and with more job experience. Come to think of it. That's exactly what happened to us in grade school. The only after school program that was there was girl scouts so for us boys, we had nothing and some kids ended up on the streets. That whole emasculation shyt that's happening nowadays is no accident and has been in the making.

Society still has misogyny problem but it's far more complex than what's being put across with the whole "fight the patriarchy", "rape culture" and all this simple minded feminism shyt that's being pushed onto folks without them critically thinking about what's happening or been going on.

So how did the classroom setting change since the 80's? Were classes not given in a lecture format in previous decades? I myself, a woman, prefers hands on learning, but I learned to adapt. I didn't notice classes being catered to girls when I was in school, some of the best students were boys.

The product of the US higher education system actually goes against basic capitalistic economics. The value of the degree has plummeted but the cost has skyrocketed. This is even more visible when looking at for profit "colleges and schools." How is this to be reconciled?

It’s too good because one too many black people will be be educated. And god forbid that happens.

I think you mean Socialism is screwing millennial men out of jobs

Socialism funds and supports Feminism, women empowerment, and makes men disposable

As a man, Capitalism should your best friend

I guess this narrative won't get traction til it's happening to white men.

(2016)

The Jobless Rate for Young Black Men Is a National Disgrace | RealClearPolicy

The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey gathered data on the jobless rate of non-institutionalized men, 20 to 34 years old, averaged over the period, 2010-2014, for 34 major US cities. The data paint a grim picture for black men, particularly in the Midwestern industrial and the Mid-Atlantic cities. Like Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C. all had black jobless rates above 45 percent. In these cities, more young black men were either jobless or imprisoned than employed.

All UBER/Lyft and "entrepreneurship" is, is a cover up for large unemployment rates.

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.
This is a black male centered website.
We ain't concerned with "all men" around here, and that encouragement is not showered upon men who are pushed into athletics, entertainment, criminality, or labor...by default. We're in a uniquely difficult situation but you COMPARE and CONFLATE groups that are at stark contrast with each other.
Sneaky, but expected :mjpls: . Your programming made you this way, and that's why you disengaged. There is no counter.
Are you suburban? #thepattern

this is a disaster waking fo happen. A bunch of broke idle minded young men can only lead to violence

They don't mind that at all. More violence gives them more control. Gives the media fuel to push more agendas and makes the prison system more bread. Anyone hurt in the process is collateral damage as far as they're concerned.

They want us to be productive members of society, so they claim, yet restrict and prohibit the tools necessary to achieve that. They really just want tokens to assuage their guilt and the rest to be subservient in menial positions to soothe their ego.
