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

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

Someone probably did the application for him. I know a lot of chics that do all the applications for the bum dudes their dating at the time...smh

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:

Any more bright ideas while you're at it?

My old employer used to have a program to mentor at these underperforming schools. You take these students out of these terrible schools and they almost always do better elsewhere.

The point of these stats is it isn't the schools

 

[Sunalmighty]

are they taking into consideration children that have a disability (ADD/ADHD/Speech disorders, etc.) a lot of schools aren't equipped to handle these issues.

these rankings make it seem like nikkas just aint shyt.

but most of this if not all starts at home.

You can't change people that don't care. You just have to abandon them and link up with other like minded people, setting and maintaining a new standard/culture.

Intellect & education should take precedence, not necessarily money because an idiot with money will ruin a good community.

I've been saying this for a while now. Out culture and community are too far intertwined. There has to be a schism. If we want strength like some of the other communities we gotta redefine what it means to be apart of the community. That means no more celebrity worship and looking up to basketball and reality stars as community leaders. More emphasis on schooling, marriage, and investment in the neighborhoods. Stop trying to be so inclusive to people that choose to stray from that we gotta stop trying to pull everyone along. You dont see well to do wytes trying to drag trailer park trash to the forefront. They leave them in the woods where they wanna be. We gotta start doing that to our outliers. They don't represent us anymore

I went to a DODEA school. Basically schools for military kids overseas.

 

[African Peasant]

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.

Yes it has.

 

[Brolic]

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?

It seems like you’re just arguing to argue now.
Schools were segregated and obviously underfunded during Jim Crow yet people still went to HBCUs. There’s literally whole high schools where no one is reading at a high school level. What changed?

 

[African Peasant]

For real. Like how white folks got separated by class and values, same shyt gonna happen to black folks. Negativity is gaining ground in every aspect in society, and we damn near need a divine intervention to raise kids well

Not gonna happen because black people don't have the number.

And how many middle class kids are going full street cats?

 

[Sunalmighty]

add it to the list of shyt we're slacking in

- marriage rates
- divorce rates
- income rates
- single parenthood
- NEW: reading and math competency

only thing we have is probably swag and highest percentage of public figures being rappers

Also this shyt is a mix of systemic issues and personal failures. BOTH. Idk why these threads try to blame one more than the other. Racism is baked into the America system. It's a huge roadblock and a funnel. Some of us can make it through the other end of that funnel, the majority get blocked at the opening

this ain't new though man its always been a problem.

black folks aren't slacking in divorce rates. nikkas hold the belt in that area too.

Babe, more like in one generation. That day is practically here.


I said it before on here- a line is being drawn in the sand.

I recently told a friend of mine that there’s a 4 sided secret war in our community and it’s black people (poor to rich), ignorant nikkas (poor to rich), c00ns (poor to rich) and black immigrants (poor to rich) all battling each other.

The only thing that will save US born black people is separation from the c00ns and ignorant nikkas. I’m not too worried about the immigrants. But being seen as the others and not actually being one, has become dangerous.

I don’t have time to break all of that down and I know that will offend some, but it’s my view and no one has to agree.

 

[African Peasant]

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

You need state ressources OR a very powerful organization

Where? Also, hasn't black classism already "failed"?

 

[acri1]

Ah, attributing blame with a random and unsourced percentage

Can't think of a more iconic duo

It's called an opinion. If your kid is 15 and illiterate you failed somewhere early on.

My parents didn't spend hours every day reading to me or helping with homework, nor did I go to private school and I never had these type of problems.
