Breh. You know the answer to that question. I went to one of those schools breh in Brooklyn. We had aspestos in our classes, no heat in the winter, not enough books for the students, and I literally don't remember taking a single test in the 6th-8th grade.
Why is the education in those places so bad breh?
So, that's not criminal?
It's called nuance. You only understand knee jerk reaction so fukk off.

No. It's very criminal. I'm asking what caused it to be criminal? Was it always that way or did something happen to change it?
not waiting on white people for anything...
only pseudo-c00ns constantly accuse black people of Waiting for white people for things - it's one of the tactics.
and black people should first be black nationalistic in their mindset, imo. without that, eventually, all that you build is diluted and filtered out.
How do you explain Asians and Indians being over represented then?
margins truly are lovely..Them IT margins are a beast breh. My highest margin so far has been $80/hr
We might need to have a conversation offline:cacpls:
Especially when you consult out Indians on H1b (no offense to them n shyt) ... you can eat and eat and really don't have to actually do any work
i can give u any info u want about it if u pm.
I do support the segregation..This is my personal experience. There are three explanations.
1. White people have better connections. It's easy to get a job when your dad is golf buddies with the tech company manager and he can pull some strings for "Sally" so she can get into a really nice internship. In college, almost all of my white classmates came from professional/prominent families.(Parents were engineers, doctors, dentist, BSN nurses, computer scientist, military officers, hospital administrators, successful business folk, scientist, bankers, top performing HS teachers in difficult subjects, etc) A lot of their extended families were middle class professionals as well and it wasn't unusual to have a brother or an uncle who was a doctor. It's easy to go through Physics II like it's cake when mom is able to funnel your private tutor 10 dollars an hour for private sessions or get really strong math skills because your mom is the AP calculus teacher at the local HS. When you grow up in the best schools in the state, it's very hard NOT to do well in school. A lot of the nice high paying jobs are gained through CONNECTIONS and NETWORKING, not by slamming out a bunch of random resumes to random people. This puts white people at an advantage because they will be connected to these "in crowd" people need to fill positions. Black people typically don't hang out with these people.
2. The persistent belief that "black people aren't intelligent enough/passionate enough to do the work so why invest in them?" I'm a bit nerdy but one of the down sides about STEM is that it is filled with nerds and nerds can be some of the most racist/insecure/sexist people on the planet. It didn't help growing up when I told some of my white teachers I wanted to be a scientist and they were like. I got lucky I had more progressive minded teachers that didn't think black people were too stupid to be high achievers that really motivated me to dream big, work hard and think differently. Then some white professionals are very intimidated by black culture and feel best to hire mostly white people since they fit into "company culture".
3. There is a lack of black HIGHLY successful entrepreneurs outside of music/sports. Yeah there are black people that do marginally well outside of those two industries but there is a strong lack of household name level successful black people in the STEM industry. You have Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc and almost all of the top lauded people are white males. They typically are going to associate with white males in their inner circle and the people they mentor will often be white males. There are few black zuckerbergs, steve jobs, etc that are more likely going to mentor black youth to have the skills necessary to compete. This poses a huge problem for the "achievement gap".
That's generally now why I don't support black self segregation. You definitely need to be conscious as a black person of how your race is perceived in the work but self segregating yourself is only going to make things worse. This is why I am so hard on black militants on the Coli. Just because you're not a militant doesn't mean that you are a c00n but hating white people is not a great strategy for long term success. There were a lot of jobs, opportunities and skills I learned BECAUSE I regularly kick rocks with white boys.(along with black folks, asians, indians, hispanics as well too) It's important for black people to have their own strong community but not at the expense of self-segregating yourself.
but this is a great post , with all Great Points
and stuff to consider

This has been one of the better threads in a long time. Lots of positive vibes. Lots of productive discussion.
