I havent seen an in depth discussion about what we can do as black men to enhance our childrens education and hold teachers accountable. However ive seen in depth discussions about what "nikkas"can do to win in a fight against a gorilla for a week straight

Stop excusing the bs.
You expect that indepth discussion to happen here, or would you go where it would actually be happening? See, his statement was a general statment about our people, not a statement about this forum. Those are two diffeent things. So if you want an indepth discussion about how to help our children, you go where those discussions are being had.I havent seen an in depth discussion about what we can do as black men to enhance our childrens education and hold teachers accountable.

Unlike you though, I have seen those discussions in schools, in other forums, in talks among my neighbors, etc. If you are not seeing them, then that is an indicator of what sort of people you align with, and not an indicator of our people in general.

How about you stop being around people who are not upwardly mobile instead? You assume what you live among is what we all live among. You listen to dumb websites on the internet as an indicator of what all of our people are doing, because perhaps you have no experience with anything better.
I know better, I live better, and I have raised better. So I know not to take a snyde remark intent on downing my people like all of us are failures focused on dumb issues. I am willing to put forth that the ones who believe that is the case among my people, are the ones who live that life themselves.

My question is always, what makes y’all think the average woman is a good judge of character?
When you take them off a pedestal and accept that they’re just as dumb and ass-backward as the men they complain about. Things start to become clear.

Most FBA/ADOS kids are failing in school that's a reality that needs to be addressed not glossed over.
They were both vets (which I'm a little surprised about - I thought they wouldn't let twins go to war?). Stack was presented as being slightly slicker in "life". But then Smoke actually became evil in death. I think the ladies just didn't like "living" Smoke.
Oh, so you think his statement was made in an attempt to address the problem? Comparing Black Americans to Asians, based on an idiotic discussion about MBJ, was addressing the problem to you? Stating Black Americans are focused on MBJ image, while Asians are focused on their children's ranking in class is addressing the problem to you?

What do yall mean when you use the word "edge " ? What are you specifically referencing?Women are drawn to the Dark Triad: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. That's one of the reasons at least one of every woman's exes is a narcissist (according to her, at least). The one condition is that the woman doesn't want the guy to harm her (and even if he does, depending on the circumstances that might not be a dealbreaker for her.)
We actually have plenty of discussions here. Guess you couldnt join us.
He made a general statement,and you decided to counter its validity with a statement about your friend group?
When you look around,do the discussions most people are having reflect the one your friend group is having
?
Offtopic, but prior to a recent tech layoff i worked at the hq of an f50 finance firm and our ceo was super casual. Dressed like the guy on the left and i had never seen him in a suit the entire time i worked there. Even when he came in for earnings confeence calls too.Geeks will have their revenge one day
It kinda shocked how chill he was and how much he liked interacting with normal employees. You would see him at the company gym or in the cafe area in a polo or tee shirt.
The whole csuite was like this, except for the cso. Hilariously it was the guys a step beneath them at the director level that dressed like agent 47 just to pick up forgotten papers from their desk.
He made a general statement about Black people, based on a discussion in this forum. So yes, I can counter it.We actually have plenty of discussions here. Guess you couldnt join us.

Also, you think neighbors, other forums, etc are friend groups? We are just people who see how important our children's educations are to their futures, and participated in actions that help our children collectively do well. When my daughter was still in primary and secondary schools, all of her open houses, parent teacher meetings, events, etc were filled to the brim with parents. That continues to this day, with children going to those same schools she went to years ago. That is why our test scores are so high and why all of our schools are accredited.
We are not all friends, we are just people who recognize what is important and do what is needed to be done. If you do not align yourself with people like that for the betterment of your own children and community, then that is a you problem. That is not a problem with our people over all, that is a problem with people you live around.
Edit: Also, last point. None of your discussions will solve anything, because none of them lead to direct actions to solutions. That is the difference between comminserating about the problems, and actually seeking solutions to the problems. So you can talk about how bad our children are doing over and over again, but if you are not actually doing anything in your own life to fix the problem, your actions are just mental masturbation and hand wringing.
