Exposing tactics to make young Black males fail

Talk to kids from other groups that became doctors, you'll discover that for many of them, their parents decided their lives for them, they didn't have the option of discovering it along the way.

Black people do not have this luxury to let our children just figure things out. We should be deciding for them and once they've landed in a career or become adults, they can decide what they want to do with their lives.

actually that need to provide choice is what kills us. children need guidance..you are the parent and understand the limitation you child faces in life.

maybe improved communication where it doesnt seem you forcing a career on someone might help. undestanding the system leads to guiding to whats practical. dreams are for rich people.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Instil in your children a reverence for intelligence and critical thinking, a love of reading and the sciences, and a strong sense of ambition and self belief

It’s not hard. It’s not rocket science.

You think he wears his hair like that at school?

and people call me crazy for saying i hated school

 

[RARI_Godwind]

The thing I hate most about tik tok is that it be the most mundane poorly thought out ass thoughts that get repackaged as original groundbreaking discourse.

This dumb ass niqqa ain’t even pose any solutions. Individualize the kids, learn their interests, relate those interest to a career path and encourage them to pursue that career as an option. It’s really not that deep.
Smart dumb niqqa teaching.

Speaking as a parent of a black boy

Lol shut up fakkit

Why you gotta call breh a fakkit? The teacher wasn't wrong but his approach and tactics were

 

[The Fade]

I need to know how old the kids he was talking about are. If they're in high school still thinking they're going to be a pro athlete then that's obviously a problem.

if they're elementary/middle school, kids should be allowed to enjoy being a kid. should their entire life be playing video games? no, but they also don't need to be preparing for their career before they're a teenager. if he wants these kids to read more, put something that interests them in front of them, whether it's about music, sports, video games or something else. rather than knocking their interests, get them to enjoy reading that way.

there's nothing wrong with letting kids know there are multiple career paths out there, but depending on their age, expecting them to pick some practical career to aspire to is highly unlikely. most people don't know whhat they're going to do/be when they grow up from a young age.

it's usually something you discover along the way/fall into. people who know they wanted to be a doctor since they were a little kid are few and far between.

True. We gotta figure out a way to balance it. Them Koreans study all the time but still find ways to get good at Starcraft

I think some kids, especially really bright ones would take his (well-intentioned) advice and start saying, not in these words, "fukk it, why should I try when the cards are stacked against me?" I know I felt like that in middle and high school sometimes

I wanted to be an NFL quarterback when I was a kid, but I loved reading, I was made to take piano lessons (and I learned to appreciate classical music) my parents made sure I went to church every Sunday, I couldn't get anything less than a very high C but you know what?

That wasn't as helpful as having Black history taught to me at home and by teachers who went out of their way to, that wasn't as helpful as seeing LeVar Burton on PBS, Neil DeGrasse Tyson online, you need to show Black boys Black success, if all you do is tell and demand, you ain't doing shyt.

I agree with buddy, but he needs to talk to them like they're children, and not in a condescending way either

Yeah you gotta make discipline look good. There’s a reason why young zoomers fukk with Andrew Tate despite being a shytty person. He makes wanting to do push ups cool (to them). He’s the closest thing we have to a real life Vegeta. The kids gotta see it on media. And they have to be taught about people that look like them proving “Black Hopelessness” wrong. Sports and rapping are the two mediums where that they can blatantly see the success and easily participate in it themselves. We have to push reading on them because reading will allow them to connect the dots with things they can’t see but know exists

One other thing is boys with no father go seeking out the next powerful male as guidance for getting what they want and they cling to them to fill the void. Sometimes it’s sociopathic older kids, or it’s Andrew Tate.

 

[The Radiant One]

Good intentions, but he's teaching them to pass the buck.

Those Black young men have parents and families. Teacher deliberately avoided mentioning those people, and what they are raising and grooming their sons to become.

If he wants to continue to teach he needs to pass the buck. Getting parents too mad is a good way to be fired

Funny enough, this should be evident because our generation are the poster children of the "find your passion" narrative as being complete bullshyt

 

[CW_1991]

The issue is much more complex and nuanced than the way he's trying to break it down.

 

[Still Benefited]

having a black identity is very limiting

if you want to fit in there are only so many options you have.

at some point if you want to be successful you have to let it go

now show me where black culture focuses on things outside of entertainment, beauty, victimhood etc...

where is the black dominance in tech, math, engineering, medicine?
