What happened to the men who attend/graduated from HBCUs?

[Brolic]

I see the narrative that they’re no black men available is still being spread.

Black women are truly on their own in this country. It’s bad enough that from high school through college you look around and see few marriage prospects for you and your peers. You enter a workforce where there are even fewer black men. You have to learn to do it all on your own and do not anticipate a black man to save you. Black men are more likely to be plagued by health problems and job loss so you are going to have to take care of everything when the bottom falls out. Just like the women in older generations did.

Few prospects, huh.
St Phillips is 59% female, 41 male
NCA&T 59% female, 41% male.
Florida A&M is 66% female, 34% male.
Howard U is 72% female, 28% male.

The stats are similar at other HBCUs.
I doubt all those men are married. What happens to these men after they graduate?
They don’t get jobs in corporate America? Did all of them die, become gay, or go to jail?

When it comes to college most people don't push it on the avg teenage boy.
We are taught to do trades or go into the military if we are not standout students.

As you should.

Everyone isn’t college material.

Higher education is only so inclusive now because it’s a money making machine.

You don’t need 4 years of university studies to do most jobs.

And from my experiences, the majority of nikkas at HBCUs wash out because they can’t handle that male - female ratio and start acting like a brand new nikka to attract females.

Square nikkas all they life turn into weed smoking wanna be gang bangers, drop out, and end up back home working at Enterprise.

More women go to college than men. If we simplified it to just black people who go to HBCU's, if all the men that graduated married black women, there are still going to be women left over.

The ratios you posted support the black woman's narrative, add in the necessity for us to be swagged out or looking like Idris/Kofi/Trey and it's a wrap for the "available" black man to them.

This thread playing out like a LSA thread. I had to double check my URL

Black women that talk like that still looking for Tupac in a business suit, regular men are invisible to them.

They use that kind of talk to justify dating out.

Then it be with a cac that make 60k and shower 3 times a week.

No one is taught this

I went to Southern in baton rouge. The ratio was crazy. But most athletes are going to power conference schools, the military offers a way out, trade schools are even better. My oldest son wants to drive trucks so he can be his own boss, I'm supporting that.

Pay him no mind, probably never stepped on a hbcu college in his life

All the black men that I know that went to HBCUs are making six figures. I’m not even kidding...all of them.

lmfao we can see OP didnt go to college

nikkas really need to understand that a large portion of black women look at "regular" 9-5 men as "lame". This mindset carries onto alot of them well into their mid to late 30s. By time they realize their mindset (alot don't even do this), it's too late for most of them.

This. They really are. Either in finance or tech. Doing very well for themselves. Really tired of seeing these “black men don’t do” narratives being promoted. In certain cases, HBCUs have initiatives and outreach with different career sectors that PWIs may not offer specifically.

The problem is people want to spam the front page with dysfunction, not just here but social media or news cycles in general.
