5 of the 32 starting QB's in the NFL are black..... the only position on the field with a lower percentage of blacks as starters, are kicker and punter.

but continue to tell me that Russell Wilson is the best QB in the game :yes:

This is PRECISELY why I get in arguments with @Poitier over this shyt.

There has to be less of a focus on entertainment as a means of generating wealth and autonomy in the black community.

Essentially 95% of black millionaires in this country is in entertainment.
Exactly, overall cats have better chance of becoming a decently paid health care professional(making 50-350k ) a year, or engineer( making 55-200k) then breaking into the nba or entertainment business.

Majoring in bs, is why our communities can't keep up. With that said, because we're so poorly represented in higher learning, degrees in history or political science, can be just as fulfilling. It's important for people to know and understand history, and how laws work....

Exactly the owners don't even really care. You saw how they were trying to play dumb by dodging a multimillion dollar lawsuit, when they profit billions :dwillhuh:

The older I get the more I realize, it's less about the game and more about the business of getting people to spend their money, on a false institutions, which essentially brings little to no value to the average fans life.......

I think more of us has to take the risk and make our own tech companies. There are infinite novel ideas out there that just need the time and energy .
Word my bro has been behind a few tech start ups and that nikka is :eat:

While he isn't a stem major or anything, he has the gift of the gab at negotiating.

With that said it can't be empathized that

the problem is that ya'll are focusing on "tech"

the world isn't just microchips.

Tech is just sexy right now because its seem as some great democratizer.

Theres tons of less "attractive" STEM jobs that pay just as well if not more and are waiting for applicants.

Dudes fall in love with the "wear jeans and hoodies to work with free food" attitude and think thats the only life for themselves.

i think we're focusing on tech because these companies are not only the "in" thing, make a lot of money, etc....but some of them are changing the world with their ideas.

why shouldn't WE be included in that small group of people who do those things?
