It's almost like you think that you have fans on here.
I haven't met a single one other than me.

I do.

God forsaken segregationist OP just can’t get past her bullsh!t victim status. Everything is about blackness for her.
The more imminent issue illustrated by education stats is the one that shows black females significantly surpassing black males in educational success. That’s because black girls have mamas but black boys have no fathers. I predicted this resulting dynamic 35 years ago. Crisis in the black family.
I expect the OP to be a black mama with no daddy for her children.

I read recently that virtually none of the Dog Breathed Americans have a college degree.

Is that true?

Look up what having a capital “O” as the second letter in your name means.

BS. And since white women are the number one beneficiaries of DEI and yet they oppose it, it stands to reason that it is white women who are easily manipulated.

Look how Jasmine Crockett has been manipulated from a private school educated privileged rich girl into a Hood Mama. All just to rise in the ranks of the Democrat Regime.

That's a zero Lisa. Time for new glasses? '0'

 

[jotathought]

I saw a reference to this a while back but missed the source so now I'm happy to see it validated. I'm curious as to how this is interpreted by others. In other words, why are DEI proponents so insistent on perpetuating the myth that Black people, in this case, Black women are being "given" jobs when they are allegedly "unqualified" or lesser "qualified" than their white counterparts?

Who Are the Most Educated Women in America? Black Women

​

Updated on September 21, 2024​

American women have had to fight for their right to an education. Well into the 20th century, women were discouraged from pursuing higher education, as it was a popular notion that too much education would make a woman unfit for marriage. Women of color and poor women also experienced other structural impediments to their education for much of the nation’s history that made it less likely for them to pursue an education. To that end, women were not the most educated demographic in America at that time.​

​

However, times have certainly changed. In fact, since 1981, more women than men have been earning college degrees. Furthermore, these days, women outnumber men on many college campuses, making up 57% of college students.1 As a college professor at a large, land-grant university, I notice that I often have many more women than men in my courses. In many disciplines—though certainly not all—gone are the days when women were numbered few and far between. Women are unabashedly seeking educational opportunities and charting new territories.​

​

Things have also changed for women of color, particularly those from historically underrepresented minorities. As legalized discrimination has given way to more opportunities, women of color have become more educated. While there is certainly room for improvement, Black, Latina, and Native American women are continuing to matriculate onto college campuses in increasingly larger numbers. Indeed, some studies show that Black women are the most educated demographic in America. But what does this mean for their opportunities, wages, and quality of life?​

​

The Numbers​

Despite stereotypes about African Americans, Black Americans in the United States are among those most likely to earn a postsecondary degree. For example, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that from the academic years 2000–2001 to 2015–2016, the number of bachelor's degrees awarded to Black students increased by 75% and the number of associate degrees earned by Black students increased by 110%.2 Black students are making headway in graduate education as well, with, for example, the number of Black students enrolled in master's degree programs nearly doubling between 1996 and 2016.3​

​

These numbers are certainly impressive, and belie the notions that Black people are anti-intellectual and uninterested in school. However, when taking a closer look at race and gender, the picture is even more striking.​

​

The Most Educated Demographic in America​

The claim that Black women are the most educated demographic in America comes from a 2014 study that cites the percentage of Black women enrolled in college in relation to their other race-gender groups.4 Considering enrollment alone gives an incomplete picture. Black women are also starting to outpace other groups in earning degrees. For example, although Black women only make up 12.7% of the female population in the country, they consistently make up over 50% of the number of Black people who receive postsecondary degrees.5 Percentage-wise, Black women outpace white women, Latinas, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans in this arena as well.​

​

Yet despite the fact that Black women are enrolled in and graduating from school in the highest percentages across racial and gender lines, negative depictions of Black women abound in popular media and even in science. In 2013, Essence magazine reported that negative imagery of Black women appears twice as often as positive depictions. Images of the “welfare queen,” “baby mama,” and “angry Black woman,” among other images, shame working-class Black women’s struggles and reduce Black women’s complex humanity. These depictions are not just hurtful; they have an impact on Black women’s lives and opportunities.​

​

Education and Opportunities​

High enrollment numbers are indeed impressive; however, despite being termed as the most educated demographic in America, Black women still make far less money than their white counterparts​

Why do people feel that educational degrees and programs makes them .. more qualified or smarter? I'd rather work with someone who was uneducated with 'street smarts,' than an educated individual who only has 'book smarts.'

True. I worked with a Tuskegee grad who had a Master's Degree in Physics. One of the nicest guys I've ever known. He was also dumb as a fence post. He wanted to learn software so his supervisor arranged to have him work with me. He literally spent a month trying to write a very simple program I would expect any co-op student be able to complete. The code he wrote showed a complete lack of understanding of what he was supposed to do.

There are always exceptions. But on average. physics majors have the highest IQ of any other major. I am sure most could learn to write code.

Back during the 1990s when I was doing delivery driving, I often had packages for the various science labs at some local universities. Occasionally I would need to use the men's room and was always amazed by the graffiti on the stall walls. The mis-spelling, poor grammar, and lousy composition had me wondering how these sorts got into college.

Other occupational experiences over the decades have taught me that degrees don't always match education and that "education" isn't the same thing as learning or knowledge. And often doesn't include common sense.

I would think the OP expected the white racist nonsense you guys are posting.

If you did, then why post? What was your goal?

 

[IM2]

God forsaken segregationist OP just can’t get past her bullsh!t victim status. Everything is about blackness for her.
The more imminent issue illustrated by education stats is the one that shows black females significantly surpassing black males in educational success. That’s because black girls have mamas but black boys have no fathers. I predicted this resulting dynamic 35 years ago. Crisis in the black family.
I expect the OP to be a black mama with no daddy for her children.

White men who whine all the time calling somebody else a victim is funny. Blck men have fathers. Black women who aren't married have boyfriends. White women are surpassing white men in education as well.

Why do whites like you try downplaying these things while always trying to tell us how unqualified blacks are?

 

[IM2]

If you did, then why post? What was your goal?

I'm not the OP. So why don't you ask the racists what their goal was in posting off topic racist nonsense?

 

[IM2]

if you don't toe the line, you get labelled an Uncle Tom.

Why is it that white conservatives can criticize white liberals, but we can't criticize blacks who actively help promote white supremacy?

 

[jotathought]

Why do whites like you try downplaying these things while always trying to tell us how unqualified blacks are?

Who said anything about blacks? Why do blacks like you always feel inclined to determine what white people are thinking?

Regardless, book smarts do not always equate to being intelligent, and that's just a fact.

Whites have tried to determine what we are thinking for 249 years. Pricks like you here do it every day. You guys are the ones lecturing us about taking education seriously, and just to show how much of a racist you and some of the others here are, when a back person who takes education seriously is presented, we see this bs from people like you.
