Black Education / Schools : What is the Purpose of Modern Higher Education.....

[MANASIAC]

A College education is nothing but a monetary bond, that may or may not help you make more money...

In the Black Community, How many children are sent from those inner-city areas to good Colleges and Universities?

Not many.

How many of them are accepted into Colleges and Universities?

Even less.


But the question is, are they not human beings who have the same physical abilites to build buildings, install plumbing and electrical systems, and grow food like the best engineers?


College/University is just and INSTITUTION in which a person can go to learn valuable skills but these skills can also be passed down through families and apprenticeships as many Africans did in the past.


Most of the Arabs and East Asians who own stores in the inner cities don't have a college education either (though they struggle to send their children) yet they own much of the wealth in those communities.

See, that is the probem.

When Asians and Arabs come to this country, they are GIVEN jobs, transportation, and a monetary value high enough to remain financially stable. Not only that, while we are PARTYING, HANGING OUT, PLAYING BASKETBALL, they are in the house STUDYING, READING, AND BEING SCHOOLED by their parents.

We need that kind of method.

I couldn't agree with you more brutha Ced....


But it's not magic or some unseen supernatural force allowing these people into the country and giving them money, positions, and special priveledges that are denied us.
It's white people in power allowing this.

The same white men who are moving the jobs over seas....

The same white men who are bringing in millions of Mexican slaves....

Are the same white men who are bringing in Asians and Koreans giving them money, finacial aid, and allowing them into the best universities.

They are the unseen hand...the "powers that be".

No body would get into this country or anything from the government unless white men in power wanted them here to serve their purpose.


So what we must first do is get in power ourselves and assert our power to reverse the damage that has been done to our community.


BTW...

This is where many of our brothers and sisters falter on reparations.

Everytime they ask white politicians for reparations and are turned down, they say "America" turned them down.
Our beloved never stop to realized that if they strove to get in office and excercised their political clout...they could give THEMSELVES reparations and more.

I think that this might be a bit of an exageration.
