Social programs in general have seem to have more female benefiacries from what I've observed but I don't have statistics on this type of thing.

These young men are mature enough to get into all types of sh*t, but not mature enough to desire to enhance themselves? I don't disagree that parental involvement is important but the desire is embedded in the child regardless. The key is instilling that drive at an early age, and then once that child gets to HS, he or she will do most of the work.

But the problem is that black boys begin falling behind black girls and other groups of students by the fourth grade.

So we are essentially expecting these 9 year old boys to "figure it out themselves"?

How can black boys, who are lagging in reading and math in elementary school,
wind up being college-scholarship worthy by the 11th and 12th grades?

To his credit, President Obama did make an attempt to address these unacceptable disparities though
his My Brother's Keepers program.

Cops busy killing black men. Not enough nikkas making it

Better at school doesn't equal smarter.

There's geniuses that flunk out, and there are people of very average intelligence that ace their classes. I knew several of chicks that were not that bright in real life but handled biz in school. That sh*t usually gets exposed in the professional world, tho.

True, but understanding that being better at school opens the door and gives you more opportunities and capitalizing, is smarter.

Don't have to. I already know why there are more women in college and that more women, especially black women, graduate at higher rates.

It's because black girls/women are smarter. Simple. If they actually do get more scholarships it'll be because they are smarter than boys/men. No complex answer needed

Smart people create...Not ask someone to lean in. No matter how smart Sheryl Sandberg is....Mark Zuckerberg the dropout is her boss.

Woman x black = higher tax deduction.
It's the new affirmative action.
No, they aren't academically outperforming black men....at all.
They do, however, have a built in advantage in the school system.
Ya'll need to stop talking about women, brehs. They're "taken care of" and have shown their collective asses to indicate such...in more than one way.
If you are easier to control, and you give birth, resources will be ALLOCATED to you. Afterward, lie and say you worked hard.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

They "outperform" black boys in the classroom because of sexism and the introduction of disciplinary practices in the classroom that allow for female socialization. Unfortunately y'all are too bytchmade and p*ssy starved to see it.
These women are nowhere near smart, lol. nikkanerds still be doing their homework in college.

Did your parents push you academically?

They always said "do well in school" but i didnt understand the role your HS GPA played in going to college. I didnt realize till later even when you get to college, your GPA is the main filtering tool people use to sift through students. So they can decide who gets scholarships, internships, etc.

Add on the fact i wasnt even sold on college bc of the rising cost of attendance vs the avg starting salary of the fields i was looking into

We really need to have someone come and talk to middle and high school black kids to tell them how to navigate life after HS so they can build some wealth in this world. I went through that so hopefully the young bucks coming after me wont have to

 

[LordLyons]

this seem more like a shytting on black men thread than anything based on the responses
yeah black men don't want education because they're too focused on becoming gangbangers
black men do everything wrong and black women do everything right

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Certain Black men help this situation, too.
Certain brehs know who to ingratiate themselves with, trying to get that oprah/breast cancer/black girls rock money.
They'll gladly throw a some bread out and cheese for a photo op for that "who's who" recognition.
Always up in the protest video, dancing in all the meetings....

Social programs in general have seem to have more female benefiacries from what I've observed but I don't have statistics on this type of thing.

Here are some college enrollment stats that reflect a definite gender shift since the 1980s:

In 1985, 20.3 percent of black males 18-24 were enrolled in colleges/universities, versus 19.3 percent
of black females in that year.

In 1990, 25.8 percent of black males 18-24 were enrolled in colleges/universities, versus 24.7 percent
of black females in that year.

Twenty years after 1985, a reversal happens...

In 2005, 28.2 percent of black males 18-24 were enrolled in colleges/universities, versus 37.3 percent
of black females in that year.

In 2008, 29.7 percent of black males 18-24 were enrolled in colleges/universities, versus 34.2 percent
of black females in that year.
