this is a toxic culture, but its not isolated from hbcu

most kids in undergrad fuk around and do stupid shyt

go to any ivy league like yale and harvard, and they got alotta those preppy rich kids that stunt, don't do shyt in class, and jus join a frat/organization and party all the time

i suppose the diff is most of those ivy league trust fund babies have millions/billions to fall back on and they know it, while most of those kids at howard don't

But we all know that there are some mistakes some people can afford to make and recover but not others that's just life hence we must not compare with the wrongdoings of Ivy League institutions. I don't frequent the preppy types in my circle even though I went to school with a lot of them. Those legacy admission kids at Harvard and Yale can afford to stunt because they have generational wealth Black kids at Howard U can't as you pointed out in your comment. It's high school all over again at the college level on that campus.

The vid by that Yvette lady even though I disagree with her a lot was on point. We have this whole culture on fascination with materialistic things that it's scary. It's so bad that being called broke has become a pejorative when most working class Americans (especially Black people) are indeed broke working paycheck to paycheck yet we have some in the community who want to denigrate them. That's why I never bought in when these rappers always post luxury cars, designer clothes on IG and try to cover it as "motivation" when we all know they are showing off. This obsession with materialism can lead to criminal and unethical behavior just to be seen and show off as with this guy who didn't have the patience and wanted to take shortcuts in life when he had a job lined up at a reputable law firm with a good salary. Materialistic culture and instant gratification is a bad combo.

I know a Nigerian girl from Oakland who was born here turned down Stanford and Duke so she could attend Howard (graduated 4 years ago class of 2014) to the "HBCU" experience. Her parents til today are salty at her for her decision. First thing they sent to her this morning (as if she didn't know) was this story lol.

the howard kids will have crushing debt to struggle with and a 7% student loan default rate (that's pretty high for a school like howard, that's the kind of rate you expect to see at low rated schools).

one of the things i loved about college was that i didn't have to get real dressed up like i did in high school. jeans and a tee or sweats and a tee and walk to class. at least i put on jeans, some of these white kids would show up in pajamas. and the asians didn't give a fukk.

If you gonna get exploited, at least let it be by your own
full




:laff:


nikka(s) be all in them threads riding to get nikkas to die on the hill, but act like some of us is talking a foreign language when we say it can get just as bad at some of these schools





:snoop: He would have made damn near the same amount of money in two years working there.



Dudes a complete ass clown, how you steal from your own, in the midst of getting a high paying law job

Matter fact he is the worst type of nikka

:mjpls: If i ain’t know no better sounds like a typical buckeye :lolbron:


I’m fukking with you fam but :francis: this nikka set us back some years

Hey @MustafaSTL
Edit: so after listening to the fiyastarter podcast and they shed more light on this, so apparently this dude got selected to a law firm that never reaches out to HBCU’s and was doing so for the first time ever:francis:


And btw he was making money, taking trips, but sending nikkas home, who couldn’t pay tuition :scust:


This nikka singlehandedly set probably a generation of black lawyers back, and college kids


I’m not sure jail is good enough for this nikka :francis:
