Low Black Male Graduation Rates Indicate a Failure in Faith, Not Circumstances

If you consider yourself successful by any measure of the Western standard, then you were probably never introduced to the Negro narrative of obfuscation, which teaches the inevitability that outward circumstances will methodically undermine any constructive steps you take in the direction of upward mobility.

All varieties of Negro head honchos, from shepherds of churchgoing hallelujah flock, to old timey civil rights activists, preach the defeatist mantra of how “the man” is out to get them and the variety of ways that our system keeps a “brotha” down.

Unfortunately, it now appears that this chorus of pessimism has entrenched itself in the minds of African American young men, teachers, and even parents.

    People only want t read sum good "tea"(gossip), but tj u make a valid point! The problem like the writer said is the good role models in our young mens lives are absent. Not necessarily a father but someone to instill in them their full potential. I have a son and I like t think I'm a good single mom. I don't sugar coat the world so he can go out in it blind, the only way ur gonna b successful and happy in life is getting a good education cuz mama did enuff strugglin for him so he ain't got to. They teach our black youths that in order t b successful they have t b NFL or NBA bound. We have to let them kno the world is there oyster they jus have t want it and sometimes that requires SOMEBODY to care and show them how t get it. In this case too many Indians and not enuff chiefs.
