Black Culture Discussion Thread

I've always assumed, especially if the coach is an ex-player, they wore sneakers for their joints.
 
Nah man dress shoes just suck, even doctors have said it. That’s why boomers feet and knees are so cooked :lol

that’s a negative. Plenty young people with bad feet as well. Y’all love to generalize :lol :lol

Same way you can get custom or cushioned insoles for sneakers, you can for dress shoes as well.

Bad feet are bad feet. No matter the shoes.

not that there aren’t some particulars in regards to black folk but all ethnicities/races of women attend university at higher rates than their men…even with that being the case all ethnicities of men earn more than still earn more than their women…so for all the criticism about black men not being ‘educated’ it isn’t as particular as some black women make it seem
 
Didnt see a Dad or Granddad in the video.



This is a problem too… why are our women wearing drag queen make up? It looks RIDICULOUS. No man wants a woman who cosplays as a drag queen, who wants to look like a woman in the first place.

Like they’re trying to out do each other :lol :lol

Ad Hominem. (Attacking the person): This fallacy occurs when, instead of addressing someone's argument or position, you irrelevantly attack the person or some aspect of the person who is making the argument.
 

:lol @ "Girl did you read the syllabus?"

This will just be written off as "Right-Wing talking points" but I think it's an honest perspective. Folks might not want to hear it but it's a perspective. Some black boys might NOT feel welcomed on those campuses. Maybe we need to hear from some directly explaining why but I wouldn't write the reasons they spoke on OFF.

But I think the main issue is homes/schools don't prepare the majority of us for life after high school. That's a deeper convo but so many just aren't ready socially, emotionally, and most important academically.

And yea, not sure how/why Trump/DEI is even being discussed in that article as if this issue wasn't taking place long before either of those two things were at the forefront.

Can't believe I risked the purity of my algorithm to watch this.

"They want to turn men into women" is a right-wing talking point. This is said right after the chick in the video states that the % of black men with bachelor's degrees has increased.

Look, if you have a problem having female college administrators, organization leaders, professors, and department chairs, just say so. None of this stuff should prevent men from getting an education if they want to, especially since college offers an environment in which resilience, organization, focus, integrity are required to excel.

What I find soft is to admit that you didn't go to school because you had an issue with the voice range of the lecturer or the subject matter in English 101.
 
I think you are missing the point because of their sensationalized words.

No I don't think they are trying to turn black men into WOMEN.
No I don't think they are trying to turn black men into WOMEN.
No I don't think they are trying to turn black men into WOMEN.

I think the underlying point was young STRAIGHT black men don't see themselves on these college campuses. They don't see representation there. Whenever ANY other group of people complain about lack of representation in a space, we don't tell them "Well that shouldn't stop you from going."

If more black men felt WELCOMED on these campuses, maybe more would attend.

But of course, there are SO many other societal/economical factors that play into them not sticking once they get there but as far as them feeling like a lot of these college campuses are filled with "others" (others meaning NOT black men) and that being A reason why they aren't attending; I'm not sure why that is being dismissed.

😂 @ the algorithm purity…i get it tho

not sure it is that young men have issues w/seeing women in these positions of authority (especially in education where k-12, that would be the norm) & even with all their vitriol i don’t even think the talking heads do either

it just is this case that women attend universities (here in the states at least, not sure about other places) more than men & it’s been this way for a minute. people come up with their own reasoning(s) looking at all the disparate data without having actually asked the kids/young people & obviously these people bring their own biases to that reasoning…kinda baffles me that folk don’t seem to refer to simple polling in this regard rather than jump to convoluted conclusions

i really think it comes down to how in the modern environs, young women have been (and are encouraged to be) much more optimistic about their future prospects & to some extent this has encroached on how men view their own; anytime i hear/see high school aged/young men talking about higher education they always talk about the financials, especially if they aren’t solid on what they want as a career path, and it is still the case that men are expected to be ‘payers’ when they pursue women, which also factors as motivation to earn sooner rather than later & forego additional costly schooling

while there definitely are some particulars that (dis)advantage some groups of men, the general trend is men are seeing less reason to continue into higher education, and while it understandable that it gets distilled into being an issue w/black men the broader context matters too
