Reading and math competency chart broken down by race and state. Black Americans are doing pitiful.

mufukkaz definitely need to stop brining kids into a world/situations where they cannot afford them. It's selfish as fukk, especially nowadays.

You're spitting facts. But the truth is when you don't have much going and a lot of free time people use sex to fill that time or as a way of escaping whatever they're going through. I used to have a lot of sex or chase chics in college because that's just what you did. I strapped up and didn't get anyone pregnant. But as a breh in my 30s I have too much other things going on to just have sex constantly like that. Plus I already have one daughter and she's expensive trying to broaden her horizons and show her new experiences so I don't want another kid at all lol

This is 90% on the parents.

Ah, attributing blame with a random and unsourced percentage

Can't think of a more iconic duo

We see data like this then think its BS when we see black household incomes be low AF as if educational success and income aren't closely linked.

 

[Midwest]

Our race still refuse to buy in that knowledge is power, not the money! Knowledge>>>money>>power! Crazy that we have been lapped by other races that just recently came over here. Very very sad reality!

I never said they’re were more people finishing school. Isaid the people who were in highschool back then probably weren’t reading at a 5th grade level.

And you know that for a fact how?

If reading levels are abysmal now, why would they be better during segregation?

How would there be more people reading at grade level if the majority weren't able to finish school?

I'm not surprised. The amount of people that get hired who can barely read or comprehend is astonishing.

I probably say "Did you read what I sent you 20 times a week. Had a guy quit because he refused to read his feedback. I'm positive he's illiterate.

No it hasn't. Are you black? Do you hang around black people? The black people I hang around aren't ghetto, loud, and ignorant. I've met a lot of black folks who were good people.


Ignorance and stupidity is a choice.

They always use that as a scapegoat to eliminate choices and personal accountability. I grew up in not the best conditions but I wanted better for myself and chose differently. Did I encounter racist stuff? Definitely but that didn't stop me or put me in a position to knock me off my spot y'all gotta start being real with yourselves

The sad part is how do you even begin to turn this around in our current state?

the simple answer is to probably promote 2 parent households that place a tremendous value on education…but how do you get this message across to this generation and get them to accept it when all they’re bombarded with is dysfunction?

coz that’s who we need to turn it around…and that goes for all black youth in the western world btw…it’s not too late but it’s getting pretty dire

Unfortunately, we are cook

So many older brothers are still in that second childhood at 35,40 etc years old and still more focus on getting p*ssy instead of being in their kids lives.. these nikkas shouldn’t been having kids in the first place but these women like the dude look and style and not if he will be a good father

Then u have these CAREER modern women today look at Eboni K Williams who rather have a child by themselves instead of having a husband because the man these women today want has to have a title like CEO, CFO to their profession,, not are u a good responsible man

Then the 70% plus sisters who already have a kid or two or 3 are fukked because majority of men are not walking into that situation especially if the kids are wild and doing whatever they want in majority of the time they are

Simple: Black people should start making fun of each other for being dumb & illiterate.

It sounds like I'm being facetious and I know someone is probably getting triggered and typing up some bullshyt rn but consider this:

[Some] Black people make fun of each other because of the clothes they wear (or don't wear) from childhood. This taught the children to value material items. These children grew up to value swag and managed to be the community with statistically one of the lowest incomes yet one of the highest consumer spending

[Some] Black people make fun of each other for their skin tones from childhood. This taught some children to value light skin. Many of these children grow up to have colorism based preferences, grudges against the opposite sex for this treatment and seek out white mates.

[Some] black people make fun of for not being hood/street or being suburban. This taught the children to value a "street life" image. Many of the male children end up in criminality later in life by trying to overcompensate against this in spite of growing up with better examples

Every time this topic comes up nikkas will get on this forum and type the same ass tired "we need to value education but how do we do it??? " shyt. Well the above is what a community valuing something looks like.

Kids are just little humans and being a parent is a full time job. They're always watching and picking up on the things the adults around them say and do. Regardless of how people half heartedly pay lip service about valuing education on social media, the kids see if you don't ever pick up a book. They'll see if you picked that partner because of swag/sex appeal or character. They'll see you clowning someone for being dark skinned. They see you wasting an hour learning to twerk/learning a tiktok dance then claiming online you don't have time to read to your kids.

Clown them dummies who can't multiply the way you clown the guys with the fukked up hairlines. Clown the people who can't spell while typing on a device with spell checks the way you clown a nikka who just got crossed up on a hoop court.

I guarantee black kids will get better at spelling and worse at basketball :Manny:

 

[ViShawn]

We need more systems in place to ensure that Black people have in tact families that can work on thriving in the world instead of simply surviving in it

 

[Scaaar]

That’s a cop out. Schools were underfunded and kids were going to school in run down shacks in the south post slavery. The difference is parents/culture actually valued education.

Funding isn’t going to change anything if they’re being raised by social media in a chaotic household.

Those kids during that time are probably on a higher reading/math level than the kids in school now. It comes down to parenting. People keep trying to dodge it but some people are just shytty parents

I'm not surprised. The amount of people that get hired so can barely read or comprehend is astonishing.

I probably say "Did you read what I sent you 20 times a week. Had a guy quit because he refused to read his feedback. I'm positive he's illiterate.

He could read the application to get hired but couldn’t read his feedback?

 

[Scaaar]

Yes, but it also reflects the shyt we value. When kids get away from their parents they start to act like the people they choose to associate with, even if they're being raised correctly at home. When everybody is on some "too cool for school" (been that way since I was in elementary) shyt and wanting to be followers, this is what happens.

Then that means the parents should dictate who their child hangs out with. I look at the grades of all the kids my daughter hangs with. We don't hang out with kids that fool around in school
