We need more programs for Black Boys and Men

[Formerly Black Trash]

Black Women Build - Baltimore - Open Society Institute - Baltimore

I was listening to NPR yesterday and got heated
Like why the fukk she ain't helping Black Men buy houses too?

Then I thought about when I was going through a program in Detroit to get Black people into union jobs

And a Black women got harassed
And had to check myself, because this is physical labor shyt, and if it weren't focused on women, I'm sure it would be mostly Men
So this is probably encouraging more women to take part
Because they feel like they can actually do it

But in general I think Black Men get forgotten about in this era of Black Girl magic
And we're lagging behind

If I ever get the opportunity I'll do something
Maybe in IT but I need to put myself on first

It is done by design.

I dunno if this country planned it
But it's definitely being taken advantage of

This is false
We just need to build
And we need more builders
If I had resources I'd do it

 

[Diondon]

I agree wholeheartedly, STEM, trades, entrepreneurship, finance

Why would this get you heated? That being said there are plenty of things for black men. Out here in NY we have black male institutes offered by CUNY and other private colleges that help them get educated and careers.

Robert smith (wealthiest black man in America) has programs that get black men in venture capital (which is huge)

You get the idea

We don't feel 'responsible' for one another. If women aren't competing with black men they're ranting and raving about how they aren't they mama and have no help for them.

I understand the urge but nothing is going to change like that.

But it's definitely being taken advantage of

They'd be dumb not to.

Black men should step up then and organise these programmes

Because if anything nikkas are the most at risk between women and men right now
In this case, as I explained in the OP,I thought about it and in this particular instance this program should be Black women only

I rarely hear about shyt focusing on Black men nowadays

If I had the talent and the resources bruh

??? Why does she have to do something for Black men? Are there not Black men who can do this?

I agree with the title but I hope this isn’t the first time you thought they need to do some for BM…

There is opportunities out there. It starts at home. Parents should plant a curiosity and knowledge seeking seed in their children that will enable them to seek these opportunities.

Black men need to come together and and make an organization with black women to try and progress the people we could call it the Global association for the advancement of colored people or GAACP for short
