Black People : A Few Graphs to create discussions.

[umbrarchist]

How do I discuss this without a 10,000 word essay? LOL

This brings up classism and education among Black Americans.

I am one of those Negroes whose Black English is really bad. I used to correct my mother's English when I was in grade school. She would say, "Yes, professor." I thought it was fun. How many Black women would get on their child's case if they were corrected. There are Black neighborhoods where the "brothers" will get on your case for reading a book.

But the majority of books are mediocre to crap. I find it really curious that for all of the talk about education that we do not have a National Recommended Reading List. I suspect that would interfere with the Education BUSINESS. Education is supposed to be expensive and we should pay a lot to have information dribbled out.

I took an economics course at a Black community college and the instructor was African. I asked him about the Depreciation of durable goods being ignored and he practically ran away from me. I wrote this 19 years ago:

I have never heard any economist of any color mention the book, The Screwing of the Average Man.

So paying White people to tell us what education is and dribble out information to have our brains certified to their specifications is not a real solution.

There is free stuff to read:
