Education and the Modern Black People

Let's fast forward to the present and focus on one concept of why we are not advancing as a race.

Chancellor Williams found that the education system played a role in a new form up "upper class" in black people.This class consisted of college graduates!

Once graduating college, former students would distance themselves from family and old friends because they felt they were better/more privileged and had nothing in common with "regular" people anymore. (*rolls eyes*)

The nature of education was also an issue for the advancement of black people is the fact that "thinking is no longer required" in class. Passing is all about memorization of phrases and concepts! Coming from a college student, that's pretty true of an observation. We spend hours reading and writing notecards a few nights before an exam, just to pass it and be unable to recall what we had learned a week later.

These days, all you have to do is memorize lectures given by your instructor and you're guaranteed a pass without any critical analysis or evaluation involved.

This leads to generations of black scholars mouthing doctrines and viewpoints of his or her WHITE professors like little robots with no mind for themselves.

Now..is attending a university for your education a negative thing? No way!

It's encouraged that blacks who are students study in the oppressors territory (such as myself, attending a PWI), especially those majoring in history and education, as long as you can critically analyze lectures and their teachings to determine the factual from the falsified.
