Only 47% of Black Males graduate high school

How about parents raised on hip-hop?

 

I don't know about that...

In the past, we (bm) were told if you graduate from high school and work hard in college, you will get a good paying job....

Nowadays, having a college degree does not guarantee the good life compared to the previous generation.

With this recession, you're seeing people with graduate degrees can't even find work.

So how you are going to tell these young black males under 19 to stay in school and at the same time he sees college graduates standing in unemployment and food lines or work at Walmart?

Also, chances for a BM to hired in this economic climate (good or bad) are slim; skilled or unskilled..

 

Don't blame the recession, ni**as been slingin rocks and going to the penitentiary in record numbers since the '80s at least. And MFers act like it's normal.

 

Co-sign. And yet the black community STILL focuses more on the problems of black girls it seems.

 

How about crackbabies who became parents raised on hip hop?

 

It's all about the self esteem of black girls...

 

The black female will also be looking for an educated black male to make a family . . . her options are even more depressing.

 

yeah especially with uppity fools like Karma 'Inna' Coma running around

 

I'm just a random White girl, but where I went to high school, the young Black males were treated like shit from the start to finish of the school day. It was a predominately Black school, with teachers of all races but mostly African American. My algebra teacher graded us all according to race, he didn't even bother looking at our tests he just gave Asians A's, White kids B's-C's, Black females C's-D's and flunked all male Black students across the board. My homeroom teacher was a Black Woman who would regularly hit random Black male students with rulers because she said it taught them discipline. All the female students would laugh (so what impression was that sending to them), and all the male students thought it was hilarious too (so what impression was that sending to them). To put it shortly, those students were being taught that it was acceptable to hit Black males. Mind you, there were White students in every class, but they (we) were never harmed whether male or female.

When I was younger, in my first years of school, I went to a predominately White school, and that NEVER would have happened. It was all against the law, of course, and the parents would have complained and the teachers would have been fired or possibly jailed. Everybody at my high school, however, seemed to think this was the right way to treat Black males. That it would give them discipline, or something. Honestly it was like original sin, like they needed to be punished for shit they hadn't even done, as if they deserved it just for being Black males.

Maybe we need to look at whether some high schools are hostile environments for Black males.

 

That's not it fool.

Take a look at the lousy schools those kids or forced BY LAW to attend.

This Country has always been against educating BM...But some would rather blame the victim than the shitty school system and the history behind it.


America is DEAD LAST among devoloped Countries when it comes to education..

Let's see them buckdance around that fact.

 

Wow. If it was anyone other than you saying this, chi, I would have called bullshit. How does shit like that actually happen?!?! That's shocking. WTF?

 

Anything can happen as long as the Black boys are at the bottom.

Who's gonna complain???

When we complain YA'LL say we're wining and playing the race card.

Hell

You just said yourself that you wouldn't believe it if somebody other than chi said it...

It took SOMEBODY WHITE to drive home the point.

 

At times, I really can't stand you, but you always make sense. :smt023

 

Yeah, that's really what I meant :smt011

It's cool that Asians out perform whites in america's schools.

But

If that were Blacks out performing them.....they..whites...would be burning our schools down....again.

It's hilarious how whites don't mind getting their asses kicked by Asians.

 

Just so long as they don't try to get cast in movies, everything's fine

 

I'll keep my comments to myself, but its true.

Nor as long as they don't get any women either.

 

It happens when everyone who could do something about it thinks that it is acceptable.

I will admit, typical kid that I was I took full advantage. As soon as I found out that I couldn't flunk because of my race I stopped doing anything at all. No homework, didn't even show up for class. It was a fun year, I tell ya, but it caught up with me the next year when I had advanced algebra.

The hitting thing was awful, tho. It was a sickening feeling, knowing you were watching something wrong but not knowing what to do about it. Most people cheered & laughed tho. That's how it actually happened, that's how it actually happens. Because the people involved think it's right.
