Women are simply the best employees in corporate settings. Black women especially knowing they are most likely forced into debt to work in corporate America and they are less likely to get opportunity compared to other race of women so they will accept what's thrown at them more compared to other race of women.
They (all women) are hardworking, buy into company culture better than men, willing to do more for less, and aren't has combative about challenging the status quo.
They are also the largest by miles ahead of consumers than man, if money was left in men's hand to spend and operate. We would not have the same economic system that we have today.

I say this with all respect, the women of today are go getters, they are raised and taught to operate in that fashion from birth. I just wish more saw the real key behind the current movement and begun actually separating themselves from male run corporations and become a true threat since they are the true targeted consumers.

Just take a look at sales, a man on the phone with a woman in sales is more likely to keep his attention oppose to another man.

If women begun entering more stem fields like computer science. The pay would significantly go down because these other conniving men know women will accept less than man are. The way student loans continues to skyrocket with more entering college in folds compared to the past because they know there won't be has large of a push-back. They are the true answer to fix the imbalance of past and current business owners have created in today market.

Most people are working regular jobs,The minority of brothas and sistas working corporate jobs should not be the greatest cause of our concern.
But the reason it has to be because the narrative that it paints is that black men ain't doing shyt,when overall we are all pretty much in the same boat.
You might be in a diferent level of the cruise ship,but the ammount most on the boat are making ain't enough to buy the ship or a yacht.
So I take offense when women or anybody else use this as a weapon to attempt to damage a black mans self worth.
I also expect brothas to be strong enough to see through it,and not let nonsense like this damage their self worth,your stronger than that:henbron:.
A black man who is smart,who has a plan,who is righteously attached and has a partner can easily surpass most of the "proffesional" but single black woman who refuses to "date down" financially and in terms of happiness. It all depends on who has the most wisdom,and who thinks in the long term.
These proffesional black women really shouldn't be on a high horse making an extra 20-30K a year in my opinion,but I guess it depends on what you value.
You might not like to hear it but you are still in the same boat,possibly worst depending on how much you debt you have yourself wrapped up in.

Stop man...stop! Masters and Ph.ds aren't the only road to success. I know plenty of Black men who are in the trades, franchise owners, and other professions doing way better than people with a ph.d. In fact, I know people with masters still trying to find a job.

The cost benefit ratio to obtaining a masters and doctorate isn't great anymore, and you don't need them to be in a leadership role.



nsbe reported that black men make up the largest group earning 2/y tech/engineering degrees...... a lot are in the military earning them as well....

I disagree with this. I think with us black men it maybe more about survival than a cultural anti-education mindset.

* Because most black men ( not all) grow up in a lower income area, when we graduate high school there’s usually a decision to be made, should I go to college? or should I work so I can provide? Men ( whether black or white) are always told they should be providers (mostly financially) so the decision is now

-Should I pay 30k ( the average student debt load) for something that can help me LATER ON.

-Or take this 8-hour and 16-hour security, OSHA, construction course and provide for immediately?

While the college graduate will eventually make more money later on, the temporary financial relief these black men can provide right now maybe too good to pass up. Remember .... Poverty not only makes you financially insecure, it adds stress, increases the chances of violent interactions and increases the chances of depression (I like to use a rap quote to sum this up)

“I started off less than broke how am I suppose to survive, Momma said the rent due, how am I suppose to provide? Motions replied tears fall from both of my eyes, This when they put that pressure on you, gotta go and reply
Can't lower my pride
I filled out applications, waiting for a call back
They just had me waiting, thoughts marinated like
Will I ever get out this hell hole? Who the hell knows.
-Don Q ( Still feel me)

^^ I believe this mentality is way more prevalent than a form of anti -intellectualism that unfairly gets labeled on black men.
Thing is, its the exact same survival that Black women are dealing with; perhaps more than Black men are because they tend to be the caregivers for their siblings, and if they have children, the burden falls almost exclusively on them.
Every Black woman I knew in college worked, same for the men. I don't think its much different to be honest.

Black Women Leaders Approved for Assertiveness in the Workplace

Research shows BLACK men and white women are not approved for assertiveness in the workplace but black women and white men are approved.
This study does not suggest, however, that racism is no longer a problem or that black women leaders don’t experience problems because they are perceived more like white men than white women. Rosette emphasized the fact that this new study only talks about women who have already reached top leadership roles. “This research doesn’t examine what it is like for black women to get to those roles in the first place,” she said.

Livingston suspects that one of the reasons that there aren’t as many black women as white men running Fortune 500 companies is because black women may actually be more likely to be penalized for a mistake. “It is possible that black women can be assertive, but any mistake on the job might be interpreted as evidence that she is not suited for the leadership role,” he said. That may make it extremely difficult for black women to climb the corporate ladder.

Black women are perfect for filling quotas and adding diversity. Black man is seen as a threat, always have always will.


Salute to our women tho, black man gotta find another way :yeshrug:
There are a lot less Black men in the pool anyway.
Being "seen as a threat" doesn't make much of a difference: there are less Black men in college, less Black men picking lucrative or constructive majors, less Black men graduating in those areas in a reasonable amount of time (4-5 years at the most), and even fewer graduating with research/experience and good GPAs.

Diversity quotas are definitely there, but when there is parity between Black men and women in the applicant pool, its about even.
Beyond that: there is just an outright need for more education, and educational success at that.
There's a reason African immigrants are so far above and beyond AAs, on a purely education to professional success basis. Aside from the outside factors that push so many more of them into higher education.

This is an old observation. No matter where I've been, professional bw seemingly are 10-1 over BM. It's true of my current career and my last couple jobs. Don't bother me a bit though as my stock is much higher being a "rarity" in the game.

Not true. DV lottery only requires you complete high school. They have drive but are definitely not "cream of the crop"

Is the lottery still the main source of African immigration? US allows over 1 million immigrants in per year, most are not lottery.
