Look at the incentive that the young black male gets for being an intellectual.
-years of being undermined by schools
-family and friends underestimating them
-women bypassing them
-formative years in the books, and skipping most get-togethers, parties, and trips altogether.
-White supremacy holding them back
-waits until 20 something, or late as 30 something, until they get financial success
Look at the incentive that the young black mae gets for being a degenerate street thug:
-bytches on him. Threesome, orgies, all that.
-OGs giving him props
-crazy years of parties that only could be matched by celebs
-potential rap deals and endless clout on social media. Or even a promoter that is well respected.
-fashion game on point. Stays on top of the superficial scene.
-people giving him props as the gold standard of being a "real black man"
-if locked up, he will be remembered as a street legend, and if they come home, gets a whole 3 months of endless partying and financial gifts.
Now you see why young black men feel insulted and lonely for years on end when they pursue a path of legal and intellectual growth. Depression, neglect, and countless external and internal pressures By white society makes it all too easy to give up. By far the most disrespected demographic in America, bar none.
