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

Black men are doing mixtape when Black Women are studying.

More Michelle Obama than Instathots theses day. And it's a blessing fr Black people.
We need more Obama and less Meek Mill.

I mean... no shyt


However I disagree with your conclusion that this is a problem. Not everyone wants the same life.

I can declare that its a "problem" that engineering roles are devoid of women but whose to say its actually an issue or not?

Maybe women dont wanna be engineers.

Maybe men don't wanna work 9-5 and get masters degrees.

I make a fairly decent amount of money and I dont have my masters degree

I promise i make more than the vast majority of the people you are referring to

Black men not being formally educated is a BIG problem.

 

[Rawtid]

I thought it was common knowledge that black women were progressing at a faster rate than us. As long as one half wins, the whole teams wins tbh. I was never mad when mom put food on the table.

Wrong!! Women solely progressing is causing division. It’s not going to get any better.

 

[filial_piety]

People are confusing educated/professional with being paid.

Black men still out earn black women on average with something like 85 cents to the dollar

 

[Master Teacher]

That's the way its always been designed. There is no place for the black man in cooperate america, real leaders build industries for the community not work in cooperate America.

Black men not being formally educated is a BIG problem.

It depends.

Having a liberal arts degree making 45k a year and having 45k in student loans is retarded imo. College for the sake of college is a massive problem and is responsible for not only a massive increase in debt but also an inflation of tuition costs.

Im sorry but i dont hold formal education on the same pedastal as others. And i am formally educated so no bias here

nikka cause half of the nikkaz I know pushed crack and had records because of that. My family is like this 2 boys 2 girls.. Both boys sold drugs didn't go to college. The girls went to college and got their masters. School is very easy it's just nikkaz want money and p*ssy early so they like fukk school.

Our group had an office meeting to discuss the upcoming busy season, so I got to meet a lot of people for the first time. The few times I was in the office, I saw some sistas working so I'm thinking hey I'll get to have a chat and know them better.

I was literally the only black person in that room

The clients I go to, I have seen maybe 3 black people total. It's ridiculous how underrepresented we are in this space.

 

[MikeOck]

Black American brehs maybe. African brehs still keep leading women. We're not about to let feminists run amok

 

[I Really Mean It]

OP acting like it’s not deliberate.

 

[Bushmaster69]

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.

 

[Pressure]

shhhhh

I have 5 homies that did MPH at UNC. All.are doing very well.

One, a black woman, is now the director as a hospital.

 

[BushidoBrown]

The ratio of Black women vs men in the building I'm in is grossly disproportionate. Beyond that even with the meetings I attend and conference calls, there's a noticeable lack of Black men vs women. I meet more Black women than men in my dealings, and even just going to lunch on my work days I see more Black women than men.

I don't think it's just my eyesight either considering statistics.

Black Women Awarded More Master’s Degrees Than Black Men | Thurgood Marshall College Fund

Black women are being awarded Master’s degrees at a significantly higher proportion than Black men at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), a 1990-2015 National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) shows.

In the 2015 academic year, the most recent data available, 3,869 master’s degrees were awarded to Black women compared to 1,545 Master’s awarded to Black Men, a ratio of approximately 5 to 2.

In the same academic year, 141,358 Black women were enrolled at HBCUs compared to 86,905 Black males, a ratio over 2 to 1.

Black women also earn doctorates at a higher proportion at HBCUs. In 2015, women were awarded 1,084 such degrees whereas Black men earned were awarded 492. A ratio very close to 2 to 1.


Brehs, this is a problem.

that phrase "awarded masters degrees" is weird to me.

these women are going out doing the work and earning their degrees...i dont really see it as an award, idk maybe just the wording they chose

either way 2 things
1 black men in general need to be pursuing degrees/qualifications with more urgency
2 what percent of the masters/phd degrees that black women obtain lead to high earning career paths

That's why it's called a trap.

nikkas fall for the illusion. It's hard to tell people who don't come with from wealth to be patient working a 9-5 making minimum wage job through school, when you can work a couple hours and make what some people earn in a week, in a couple hours....

And I can tell you in why things are not going looking good.When you look at the economics.The average student loan debt is $37,172 and the median is $57,600.One in four students are six figures in debt.




She studied drama and communications but yet she is $118,000 in debt.Interest is what is going to keep millennials in a lifetime of debt.
