Most kids don't have parents they have a selfish person who gave birth to them for attention lol. Person in the singular.
This
the avg person doesn't understand the rigor behind producing competitive children. You even see it here with the chicks who brag about the single mother by choice stuff. If you work in a competitive industry one thing you will see common is how the kids of folks (married people) aren't even smart but are groomed to compete thus they can get into good schools just off the strength of years of being groomed for all the standardized test plus understanding how to craft their profile for these universities.
Regular nikkas (products of person who gave birth not an actual family unit) think just buying they kids stuff and dropping them off at school and buying dinner = parenting.
The avg child is not being groomed to compete and the stuff black people deal with is just the icing on the cake for that too.

100% agree.
My parents knew I was capable of getting A's, so that was the expectation. If I showed up with 87, 88 or 89, they'd be like
. Nothing serious, but usually that meant I was playing too much Tekken 3, Madden and Metal Gear. Soon as I turned off the games Mon to Thursday.....that 87 would go back up to a 95.I wouldn't want to pressure my kids as bad as some Indian parents. Saw too many brown homies trying to be software engineers when they had more talent for sales or marketing. However, in our community...a little "Tiger Parenting" is needed. Same way we see all the dads of pro athletes working with their kids jumpshot or footwork, we need that diligence applied to Calculus, Physics etc.

The language that dominates our current reality. What it is and isn't doesn't matter what when it is the standard. You want to get philosophical or embrace reality? These kids are expected to be up to the standard.

Yup. Biggest problem is once again that some parents' specialty is the jump shot, footwork, etc. which is fine, especially if you want your kid to play basketball.100% agree.

However, it's an absolute shame that some parents don't know their basic Math to even 1/4 that point. We're not even asking for someone to be sharp in Algebra I, but simply decent enough to help their kid out do their elementary Math homework. Like there are youtube channels that break this stuff down to the simplest terms as possible.
That's really a glimpse of how bad it is.
All this is while Khan Academy, MathTutorDVD, Paul's Online Math Notes, etc. have been around for nearly 20 years now (2008).

Thank you. I'll check that out tonight.
Even overachieving kids can have selfish parents.
My point is there are better solutions that just saying "the parents fukked up" and moving on.
Anybody can be educated, even the children of bad parents.
.the context of my post are grooming competitive children thus the selfishness is in not preparing your kids to compete. In the literal sense having kids is a selfish act because you do it for YOUR legacy but that is a different Convo this thread is about kids who can't compete
Yeah, I still put this in the parenting box.
I know my limitations. If I can’t teach them something, it’s my job to find resources that can help them understand. There’s a lot of free material on YouTube. The library is free and nowadays you don’t even have to leave your home to check out books, in some places.
To your point about the immigrant kids excelling, they probably see the big picture. We have poor black kids who are also self motivated because they see it too, but it’s unpopular to talk about that.

Shut the fukk up fakkit with that “logic” you understand that?
@Da King wasn't talking about school though. His original comment was about the slang they use
The point of communication is to exchange information. As long as the speakers know what's being said, that's all that matters. It's not any difference between using slang or a regional dialect. Which goes back to my question, what is real English?
Language is constantly evolving. Shakespeare used incorrect Grammer and made up words. Only difference between him and hip hop is he's a dead cac
I'm not saying kids should use slang in their career or some shyt, but just shooting the shyt amongst themselves is more than fine
Don't even know what to say anymore. I've talked about it, done research on it in real life in my area, and attempted to change things.
This is not a new problem and with the new teachers that we have now and inactive parents. Its over.
Black people are gonna lose.
The concept of culture is lost. Not passing down any artifacts or lessons from the past to conquer the current climate.
Add in the suicide rates of young black kids and the reason for it 56% of the time. Its over.
