Sons of Rich Blacks Fare No Better than Working Class White Sons - but different finding for Women

[Poitier]

American society has disincentivized fatherhood.

From intersectionality/feminism to government subsidies to women entering the labor force, there are too many alternatives to the nuclear family even if they are ultimately more destructive.

Black men/boys get it the worse because we already threat #1 to White supremacy but men in America are suffering in general due to archaic American laws.

This is the part that interests me more than anything.




It's been documented well enough that Black women are surpassing Black men when it comes to higher eduction. I'm seeing as much personally just looking at my own and other departments. I work in a large office building and I see FAR more Black women making strides professionally than I do Black men.


That's what piques my curiosity more than anything. What's the difference between young Black men and women causing the latter to seemingly excel past the former? To be even more specific, I'm especially curious about the differences between the two minus the typical oppression talking points. That's not to completely disregard how Black men are viewed and treated in society, so don't get me wrong. Still though, beyond Black women, why are some Black men doing okay while others fall behind? I might catch some flack for this, but I believe there's only so much that can be blamed on this society at a certain point.

Women of all races fare better than their male counterparts because men are not meant to learn by sitting still in a classroom.

Black folks need to come up with our own safety nets that will catch us when our own abilities and talents or networks are lacking.

Absolutely



There simply isn't enough spots or opportunities for us all to be supported by the dominant Society..... we have to create some for each other to support each other

@String Bell I'd rather black feminists stayed out of this thread they don't care about us. so this is not their buisness.

I'm gonna pay female gang members to beat some of them hoes up.

Studies utilizing PET scans and MRIs show that boys learn very differently than girls. One of the pioneers studying gender learning-style differences, Michael Gurian, reports several key factors differentiating girl/boy learning:

• Boys show more areas in the brain dedicated to spatial-mechanical strengths, whereas girls generally demonstrate a focus on verbal-emotive processing.

• Girls are generally hardwired to be less impulsive, enabling them to sit still, focus, read, and write at an earlier age than boys.

• Boys are often misdiagnosed with learning disabilities and attention-deficit issues when educators are not aware of the delicate neurology of the male developing brain.

• Boys’ brains need more rest times during a day of learning. When bored, boys tend to “zone out” more than girls and require rest periods before reengaging in learning.

• Boys are hardwired to be single-task focused, whereas girls’ hardwiring demonstrates strength in multitasking. Transitions are more difficult for boys due to this lateralization of the brain versus typical female cross communication of brain hemispheres.

• Less oxytocin in the brain of males leads to more aggression and playful rough-housing. Girls, on the other hands, are more predisposed to cooperative negotiation, have a much easier time with impulse control, and can sit “criss-cross-apple-sauce” in the reading circle with ease. Many boys have a difficult time sitting still to hear the teacher’s story, as they are movement-driven (kinesthetic) in their learning process (research and findings cited from Gurian, 2006).

...aaand these are the people who are pontentially our "peers" or "bosses" out here.

I’m from here bro and I wanna help the people. I’m just calling out what I see. White supremacy affects us all but there’s a reason some of us do better than others. AA men are at the bottom for reasons that also go beyond white supremacy.

So you gonna let these "studies" and cacs stop you? That's what they want you to do....quit and not be shyt. Refuse to give them the satisfaction. We are used to always having to do more than our counterparts. shyt ain't nothing new. Education is something NO ONE can take away from you...take advantage of it and treat it seriously in your household. And truth be told, companies DO like having diversity. Now when it gets to those higher positions, it's definitely something that is harder, but it's not impossible.

Look at all the brothers throughout history who found a way to be successful in times much worse than we have today. fukk all that defeatist attitude and mentality shyt.

This is why I’m fiercely patriotic.

They DONT WANT you to claim your stake here.

By giving up you do the hard work for them!

Negged, and I never neg people. This shyt is egregious

I got a cousin who graduated from college a few years ago and still sitting at home waiting on his day to come

What was his major?

This the Internet bro I don’t care for points, I want discussion. I gave y’all my thoughts and I want y’alls.

Fatherlessness, sexual irresponsibility (both straight and gay men), erratic behavior (mostly environmental), etc. plague “our community”—and as this study sorta confirms this is across most income levels.

What’s your solutoon? Who’s to blame here? At some point, the “white man” deflection falls on deaf ears of everyone else, including many black women.

You don't have to explain yourself to me, i'm just a Black man.

I mean for whatever reason black people in western societies have no will to marry other black folks with wealth.
Even immigrants stop at telling their kids to go to school. They have no ambition to acquire wealth in America to pass it down to their children.
My ex gf thought it was odd that I believe in Nepotism/ If I work for something that I own, its only right I pass it down - I Knew then she was not for me- she believes in working hard for your own lol even some coli brehs always talk that nonsense

Poverty mentality. And that mentality gets passed down, unfortunately. Wealthy people don't think like this. They spend all of their resources to maintain and protect their position, for themselves, their children, and their peers.
