Unpopular observation; Black women surpassed Black men on a professional level.

People with Master's Degrees tend to be in supervisory or managerial positions. In other words, leadership positions. Or even put another way, positions where they lead other people.
But I'm sure you knew that already.
I've rarely had a supervisor/manager with an advanced degree, RARELY
nowadays that's usually in research or academics...public sector mostly

OP is certainly right.
In my premed summer research program last year, there were only 4 black people out of 20 accepted and enrolled into the program. I was the only black male out of those four in it. The 3 black women were all Africans and one Haitian.
I ate through that whole summer. We all partnered up for our cancer project
So you ate all 3? And they knew about it?

The majority of those degrees are being used to manage and make someone else money. Those "someone" elses aren't other black people either. That's the problem.

Because education favors women and in our communities it favors black women.
If it were any other demographic falling behind this would be seen as evidence of marginalization.
but we're black men...

Because some of them degrees is tied to working in research which is pretty low paying.
Some masters degrees like a MPH are extremely well paying.

First...what is considered dating down? BM outearn BW and there are way more black men who earn over 100,000 a yr than BW, we also carry far less debt than them.
Second, no other group has been as systematically targeted as AA Men. The fact that we're doing as well as we are now is a testament to our inherent strength and greatness.
Also, when will people stop associating degrees with success or intelligence. Or are we acting as if half the people we went to school with weren't retarded?

This is just an example of what has happened in the world. The enemy is trying to reverse the role of men and women, causing chaos. Well on the way....
Women should be educated. Men should be too. But level of education does not represent total worth of the individual..

Why though?
Yes this seems to be the case, but how did we get here?
Here’s what black boys are being driven to (marketing, music, guidance, etc.) focus on at a young age:
And when those don’t work out...
...or worse yet...

Who cares...a master in social work and a plumber mAke the same money on average..so a masters degree means nothing. This is coming from someone in a c.s masters program.
It's only an issue of the men not pursuing masters degree are not learning a money making trade and are just sitting on their asses being lazy.

This thread does make me wonder about something tho....I've recently read some Black feminist scholarship and research (It was interesting sue me
) that found that BM, in particular AA Black men were by far the most progressive group of men and even more progressive and accepting of certain feminist ideals then women. This is interesting because even with this understanding we are the face of toxic masculinity. We are also doing the worse out of other races/ethnic groups of men. Which makes me wonder if patriarchy isn't the problem and perhaps we're not being patriarchal enough?
