Nah I think that's a cac or Indian or something.
I've already said I'm mixed here: Black, White and yes, a fraction Asian (not Indian). Wife is Black American.

Too many conversations at mixed family events that had me frustrated and embarrassed unfortunately. Going through that for years is wack af and sadly I see the same shyt everywhere online.

It's crazy because the numbers are right there, and the numbers are the numbers. Folks may want it to be one way, but it just ain't. It's time to focus on being better, that's all. No more sugarcoating. I'm done with that and from the looks of it, the best colleges are too. This is the new reality.

I was thinking about this more last night and basically come to a realization. This really isn’t White people’s country like it once was as the door has been blown wide open now, it’s basically hit the critical point.

It’s only going to get more pure and real from now on, for everybody. shyt has been equalized or approaching that point rapidly. The people in every corner of this country’s infrastructure are now diverse, from college to the military to Congress to the high-paying jobs and these people don’t have the same history and will not show any quarter. Especially with Kamala and the incoming run on Democratic leadership with Newsom and his history in Cali with Asians and Latinos: this isn’t White people’s America anymore. Look at Congress, especially the Democratic side. AOC and them don’t look like how Congress once did 50 years ago. The best and better people are getting in at all points.

White folks don’t run everything like they once did so don’t expect anybody to move the goal lines like that, because they can’t anymore. If White folks can’t get into these colleges at a higher rate than Asians, what does that tell you? At this point there’s no going back: colleges won’t cater to people with less GPA, scores and academic achievements because they don't want to blow up their reputation. That’s not going to happen. It’s time to face it, colleges now cater to the people with the highest intellect and those people don’t have the same history in this country so they don’t see the need to feel like they owe anybody anything.

If you want it, you’re basically going to have to compete for it. Don’t expect anything else. Competition is getting to the point where it’s now pure. It don't stop after college either with things like Leetcode. That's the reality of things. Look at what we can make shyt do today, if you want to be apart of the advancements, you got to now be advanced. It ain't going to meet you halfway and people are getting tired of the fairytale stories folks are telling themselves and trying to convince other people. The grifting needs to end.

These are the numbers, it’s just time to get very real and to stop trying to get cute and reckless. This is what current America and it’s academic snapshot looks like. If they don’t show White folks or even their own any quarter in the books, do not expect them to do anything for anyone else.



No more bullshyt or we're going to end up looking like this, telling stories to cope. shyt is embarrassing when you look at the stats like today.

I get the point about these others coming to conquer and black people needing to make some adjustments, but that account you posted sounds alt-right :scust: People like that think test scores and crime stats are genetic. Do you?

damn I was wrong. Was naive enough to believe the universities would do the right thing and use something other than race, like extracurricular activities, to keep the black number up
Why? Some—a lot—of these same universities had to be forced to accept Afro students. To be fair, I can't speak on Ivy League school and desegregation but the others? C'mon man. How many of these universities had courses & materials on phrenology, eugenics and scientific racism?

I don't think crime stats are genetic at all, I do think IQ scores are but IQ scores aren't some grand indicator of success.

IQ scores have a lot of factors going into them no doubt (nature/nurture/diet) and I do think one of those factors is from genetics, if I had to give an honest answer.

I do think EQ in the grand scheme is as important as IQ though and most fields out there don't require anything over average IQ to do well in.

You say this because you are "mixed" and think you have inherited a IQ advantage :mjpls:

Its a loss for black students because if they are RESTRICTED TO HBCUs, the enrollment rates will plummet due to stricter competition. If a young black HS grad got rejected from a HBCU and a PWI due to the stiff competition, they assed out.

More options = more blacks graduating. Limiting and restricting black kids to HBCUs will cause the graduating rates to sink. Even community colleges now can restrict people based on race. Y'all really want to go back to the 1940s when the graduation rates were 1% for black adults? :what:

What is wrong with mediocre black students not getting into college? We should actually have a black college that takes only the best of the best black students instead of mixing them together like they do now at the current institutions.

No Hating about it.

UMD and Morgan State are basically on the same Tier.
It doesn't bother me that MIT opens up way more doors than either of them. You seem to be taking way more offense to that fact than I do.

You wrote this at 2:00am your more offended:heh:

If Morgan State and UMD are the same, why did you leave the Black school for the White School.

The posters in this thread are mad because I'm supporting HBCU and HBCUs have pushed out more successful Black people than PWI's....You all have that the white man's ice is colder than the black man's ice mindset.

How genetic is IQ? 5%? 20%? 80%? Some white groups scored in the low 70s during the early part of the 20th Century and now average around 100. That doesn't sound like biology to me.
