A High School Diploma Is Not An Accomplishment

[vfIskullangel]

A High School Deployma is the end of a Jail sentence before you become a repeat offender that lands you in the big house 25 to life. Corperate America is a prison system.

[kmcl11]

@notrusted LOL...and how long have you been looking. adn yes most places do want HS grads.

[astr0al3x]

Free Money...and one wonders why the cost of a college education skyrockets...

A degree by itself is not a magic bullet and will not land a person a job by itself!

[Chazbretroberts]

Did the guy who made this video even go to high school? lol He obviously needs to take a class that teaches you how to pronounce your words. I can barely understand only half of what this idiot says, its sounds like mummbolish. A high school Diploma means a hell of a lot more than a GED. You sir who posted this should take your own advice and go back to school. Learn your grammar and how to pronounce words properly you retard! SPEAK ENGLISH!

[projectsubs]

HS diploma is BS

[Kanlaz]

ur damn right i am a high school student and i believe highly in wat ur saying. I am also in NY so i am trying to get an advanced regents diploma and finish off college in ivy league i am not gonna settle for "second best"

[EthanWalker101]

Brilliant commentary

[TheDreamReborn]

@EthanWalker101 Thank you.

[hollyyytho]

I'm a senior in high school. And I must inform everybody that more and more high school students are doing a thing called College Connection. It's where a community college enrolls high school students in their system where they can finish up high school and get a head start on college. The reason why this is so popular is because high school is becoming more like college. Here, in California the curriculum is ridiculous. So high schoolers are just getting out and moving on so we can grow up.

[visionimagify]

HSD is not an accomplishment, but I wish I had the opportunity to have it. I've been told at a young age that'll get a certificate for attending school for 12-years. It made me extremely depressed and I hated school through my educational years. I've always dreamed of being a genius and proving to those idiots in school ( I.E TEACHERS ) who told me I'll be nothing. I proved them that, but never got to the potential I've always wanted to achieve. It hurts me til' this day.

[Quixotepr]

My two cents. College education is not free in the USA and the way it looks due to student loans predators like SLM, soon colleges will be rich kid's country clubs. It is true you must study what you really like, but if you like sociology, humanities, phylosophy or babylonian astrology, getting a degree in those areas would hardly get you a well paid job, if any at all. HS is just a minimum standard that will satisfy you if you dont have any major goals in life.

[HenrydeBeli]

Great video and argument man

[robinsmart08]

you are so right but i have been appying to law school for 5 years and have not been accepted and my dream is to become an attorney do you have any advice.

[rdr4b]

@robinsmart08 Google "over-supply of lawyers" and start reading from the very first return. You may have a change of heart afterward particularly considering that you haven't been been competitive.

[KRSchannel]

looks like you don't have any sense of reality for you make this video. You really don't realize how worn you are. I got my MBA 3 years ago, and I got nothing related to the work I am doing now. WASTE OF MONEY. WASTE, WASTE, WASTE. You really need to do more research before making a video of illusion.

[TheDreamReborn]

@fugiboo I agree with that.

[eugene680]

I think the GED is more prestigious than a normal high school diploma. Nobody will ask you was the final exam hard or not. But a GED everyone ask you was it hard and how can they get one as well.

[inadovecote]

this is soooooooooooooooo wrong. i've met so many unemployed, dumb, no common sense people that graduated college with honors. and i've met many dumb people who didn't go to college too. college is fine if you need to learn theory- teaching, medicine, law, that kind of stuff. (which we all know is mostly bureaucratic bs) which makes sense then, to follow the herd. i can't even BELIEVE anyone supports college in the economic state we are in. absolute crap!

[inkey2]

I can barely understand what this guy is saying....what is he saying?

[MaverickMuze]

Do what you love and the money will follow. Btw, we need academia without it we would not have proficent lawyers, doctors and scientists. The kind of profession that demands higher education and expect you to keep up with the changing times.

[elmasduro1008]

I agree with the African guy talking AND OBAMA

[teddet87]

Its all a man made design. it would make more sense to have school to the16th grade. or just have on the job training. for minorities they should have a curriculum fitted for them to help their communities first before working for who? the white man.

[rctriplefresh5]

cant understand you.

[lostprophet912]

Something is seriously wrong with our educational system when we feel that graduating high school (13 years of schooling) isn't an accomplishment. The problem is that high school (along with college) has become too watered down. Due to political and financial pressures, diplomas at both levels are handed out too easily.

[orrin4]

@lostprophet912 Well put good sir... WELL put.

[lostprophet912]

The only reason many of these jobs require college degrees is because everyone flocks to college to get a watered-down degree. The jobs you mention in the video were done for years by people without a college degree.

[knpatin]

WTF is this guy saying? I can't understand him

[xoxofreshprincexoxo]

I agree with a lot of those points that you made. America gives out free money for college like it's going out of style lol.

But I'm on a team called GREAT (Graduation Requires Encouragement Attendance and Teamwork) at my high school that is working with the alternative school in my town. For some of those kids at that school, the best they will ever do is a diploma. And if we can get that encouraged, we're on the right track.

[TheWho58]

college is a money racket its enough you spend 17 years of your life in school just to get a diploma which sometimes won't be good because jobs want you to have experience and schooling its a money racket

[7thNCtrooper2]

I encourage people to finish high school and college, so I believe I am agreeing with the person who made this video. Go to college, the world is already tough enough, but only go to learn something. Do not waste your time and money if you are not passionate about it.

[X4SerioX4ese]

Plumbing is the highest pay in the U.S.A. we all know that. Is not that your lucky. Is that your profesional at plumbing.

[X4SerioX4ese]

Thats how I see it!! I don't know how other people see it, but plmbing is a profesional job, and it takes at least a few years before, you can make alot of money.

[X4SerioX4ese]

I know people who make about 3000$ or more during one week, and they don't have GED or a high school diploma not even a social security number.

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

@X4SerioX4ese you're making that up.

[X4SerioX4ese]

less than 10 people in a group. Plumbing by contract is like 2000* 3 is 6000 because a big house is 2000, and the company give you 3 big houses, and 2 small houses 1000 each. 2*1000 is 2000 so 2000+6000 is 8000, but the owner of the workers still pays the workers, and they are less than 10 workers. Plumbing does't ask for diplomas only, if you want to show the diploma up to get pay more? Depends how many big and small houses, the workers get which somethimes could be alot of money.

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

Only a few plumbers get paid that amount if they're lucky, but everyone isn' lucky. If you insist on being a slave your whole life to an employer working your tail off for minimum wage, well then fine with me, but if you want to have a chance at having a good living then go to college; and major in something practical, not anything stupid like liberal arts.

[X4SerioX4ese]

A few undocumented plumbers get paid that amount, because thats how it is!!! Me I don't really work yet, but when I went to work at plumbing I got 200$ for one day of work. I just know people, and I am not one of them or working with them rigth now. The best I could get is ACC.

[TrigZu]

Why would you say that?

I doubt you know him and I doubt you know who he knows.

Is it so unbelievable that a person can make good money without a high school diploma(or equivalent)? What did you learn in high school that would make that so unbelievable? I can't speak for everyone, but I certainly don't think that high school is something one should take seriously. All the courses (in my opinion) are so dumbed down and slow that it provides no real educational value.

[X4SerioX4ese]

Is it true,? if you graduate from New york, and you move to Colorado,and you want to join ACC, or a University. You have to pay double the price to enter ACC or a University. Because of the state is far away, that can't be true rigth I heard it some where problably bullshit.

[7thNCtrooper2]

Out of state tuition is more expensive then in state, that much is true, but about the specific figures you are speaking of, I do not know.

[certifiedgangster05]

this guy is arab he is a college money making machine, dont listen to him

[TheDreamReborn]

I am not an Arab...

[greling]

@certifiedgangster05:

He actually sounds Caribbean or African. Probably from Jamaica or Nigeria. The accent his voice is way too deep to be Arab.

[TheDreamReborn]

@greling I am from Trinidad and Tobago.

[Russ0257821]

@greling Who gives a shit? he could be from Jupiter for all I care.

[elmasduro1008]

@certifiedgangster05 NO he is African 

[TheDreamReborn]

@elmasduro1008 I am from Trinidad and Tobago.

[199tinkerbell]

dude do you understand that Trinidad has a WAY better education system! Let me ask you ''TheDreamREborn'', when did you first learn algebra, or integrals or functions? what age were you when you learned them in Trinidad? Be honest.

[TheDreamReborn]

If I remember correctly, and I think I do, I was about 10 years old the first time I did Algebra in school.

When it comes to the basic subjects(maths, English, science, etc.) Trinidad & Tobago is superior to America. Unfortunately that's where it ends though. They need to be teaching more modern classes in schools if they expect to compete for jobs in their own country. At the moment all the jobs are going to Chinese labourers because the government can't find local workers who qualify for them

[YamapiDaisuki02]

I dislike how people assume you've 'given up' just because you chose not to attend college. Or you've decided to drop out halfway through. It's not the end of the world. You are not a failure. You are only a faiure if you allow yourself to be. College is not for all. But everyone has the right to their own opinion :-)

[199tinkerbell]

true. in europe college is free, i think. However if youre not smart enough to go to college then you cant enter into the colleges.

[TheDreamReborn]

It's also free in Trinidad & Tobago. The problem is the people who should utilise it, don't. I have 2 older brothers in another Caribbean country who would do anything to take advantage of that opportunity, but I have family in Trinidad who just let the opportunity slip away while they waste away on the corners hanging out.

[TheDreamReborn]

Please stop saying "college is not for all". I f it isn't, what's the alternative?

[YamapiDaisuki02]

Um...there are plenty of people who did not finish college or even attend college at all. They're doing just fine. You're entitled to your opinion. I just hate how people make it seem like you're doomed to live out of a cardboard box for the rest of your life without a college degree. It's about the individual

[TheDreamReborn]

That's a weak argument. They are the exception to the rule. Most jobs today want you to have at least an Associates Degree. Without a college degree you are already at a huge disadvantage.

Can you name an African-American(excluding entertainers) who is successful today and didn't go to college or didn't complete college?

[Pentazoid111]

@TheDreamReborn

Chris Gardner , a man who was homeless , is now a successful investor.,Many of the first black millioaires such as madame CJ walker were not college graduates. There is no hard evidence to back the claim that possessing a college degree will open doors to financial success. Most college graduates are not millioaires and most are not even making above 100,000 dollars.

[tnj2323]

@TheDreamReborn

How do YOU define success?

I can name myself....tnj2323.

I have more in my savings than most college grads that I know, I'm not in debt, I can purchase whatever I want (but I don't live beyond my means) and I have lots of free time to do what I want, damned near WHENEVER I want, including traveling the globe.

Oh...and I'm happy. I'm pretty darn successful. I wouldn't trade my life for anybody else's...

[inkey2]

@YamapiDaisuki02 My father was a college professor, 4 year degree, Masters degree, Phd. He often said how a 4 college degree does not mean you will make money. There are plenty of good 2 year degrees in various fields that can make you a decent living. Remember, it's not what you make....it's what you save.

[niuchemist]

The alternative is trade school. My brother hated school and graduated with a certificate from a trade school in HVAC (heating and air conditioning). Now he's doing quite well for himself in that industry.

For some people, a high school diploma is an achievement. It represents the highest level of academic ability that the person could strive for.

[stickiller14]

Sorry .......

Your absolutly right about people giving up because collage aint for them

Well There's Always the Army

I think I am going to Graduate

[TheDreamReborn]

Well the Amy is a form of higher education. The average person does not know how to wage a war properly and the Army teaches average people to excel in that area.

Any form of higher education is better than none. I'm just tired of people thinking that what they learned in High School is sufficient in today's world.

[stickiller14]

Jamaican ........ MAN

Black Guy With British axcent

[TheDreamReborn]

I'm not Jamaican. I am Trinidadian.

[199tinkerbell]

lol

[ofibia1]

THX I NEED THIS

[Shawneha]

I don't have to validated by a man made institution dream

[TheDreamReborn]

When you live in a society, you do. Especially if you want to survive.

[Shawneha]

That has not being my experience thus far.

[199tinkerbell]

The only problem is when that man made institution does not validate YOU! You get that degree and you still cant find a job....damn.

[TheDreamReborn]

It depends on what degree you get. Some degrees make absolutely no sense. They only offer you one job; teaching them to another generation. Unfortunately many people rush for these degrees because of the supposed prestige that goes along with them.

[inkey2]

@199tinkerbell well yeah, if you get your degree in english, philosophy or theology of course you won't find a job....but....if you get a degree in Refridgeration, Computers, or nursing......you'll get a job

[animegamerQ]

i know i sent this video to all my friends

[timetraveler3797]

Scholarships are for people who are:

4.0 grade average achiver's in high school

Extremely poor

A limited few

people who put in community sevice

Anybody who ISN'T white.

[ImNotYourFriend212]

I'm pretty sure that someone who is white and happens to be poor/grew up poor would be able to get something.

[timetraveler3797]

Yes, if they're really poor. I make <$8,000 a year, but I still can't get a pell grant, and every scholarship I've tried to get so far is dependent on me getting a pell grant.

[ImNotYourFriend212]

Ohh. Wow I didnt know that. Sorry to hear that. Hope u can find a way to pay for ur education. I wonder if it matters by state. Hmm who knows tho. College altogether is one big headache.

[Rockynurse]

True that! If you are well connected enough you can get them even if you are rich and white and stupid.

[Zeeroyuy]

Fasfa told me I was too rich to get the pell though I have been unemployed for 5 months. Guess what? I can't afford to to to school. Plus some people really aren't very 4-year college geared, that's what trade schools are for. There's money out there but the grand majority of people will have to pay it back.

[Simonomon2]

opportunities? lol FAFSA told me to shut the fuck up and work at mcdonalds.. lol... I could get a loan, I suppose..

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART4:collage isn't for everyone is it beneficial yes, to the people that actually succeed at it some people just dont have the patience or the smarts for collage it's not for everyone why go and waste your time there.

[Jnite64]

It's college. I take it you're one of the people who just couldn't handle the "smarts" of higher learning.

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART3:Collage is a choice for a reason. you have people that have had major problems with learning in high school and couldn't wait to get out why would they want to spend another 2 to 4 years being totally clueless like they were in high school just to feel like a failure in the end cause they couldn't grasp what they were trying to study,

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART2: you have kids that go to collage and flunk out cause they never wanted to go in the first place but their parents pressured them to, so they sit there goof off and flunk out, what was their point in going?

[BiracialGirl1977]

PART1: OK not against collage or anything, but there are those people who's minds just aren't into the time and patience that they would need to complete it, what the point in going if your not going to be focused on it just so u can waste the tax payer dollars when you are given a grant.

[lovelynann]

education is a GOD to some people.Not to put education down.however it is a mean of control in this world but it is another world coming and you dont need a man education.there are a lot of people who have learning problems and college is not for them.education came into play for religious reason ,however now it mean somthing totally different.read in the bible JAMES chapter 2 verse 4-5 also daniel chapter 2 verse44 and ISAIAH 65 verse 21-23 first john 2 verse 16. get the real education .

[e521soediv]

God aint real...

[lovelynann]

sorry your hope is as far as your eyes can see...

[Shawneha]

God is realer than you'll ever be

[e521soediv]

Religion is just a fantasy.

[Garcia2603]

Great Post!!!

[guitaro5000]

People like options, America is about giving your options and opportunities. I never saw HS as an accomplishment neither is graduating college, you cant say graduating college is an accomplishment. Most people graduate college and cant get jobs today!

[guitaro5000]

Did he say taking care of your family is NOT an accomplishment? If he did then he is a imbecile. People have different priorities in life, not everyone wants to go to college straight after HS. People have to have different options. Not everyone can get financial aid as well, some people cant because of credit and which is mostly a deterrence of why people dont attend college. Some people want to go to the military rather than college to defend their country(i dont agree but thats them).

[comorbid]

No, he said it WAS an accomplishment, associating it with actually acquiring a job, which he also said was an accomplishment.

The way it came out of his mouth, I hear how it sounded like he said it wasn't, but he definitely didn't say that taking care of your family isn't an accomplishment.

[e521soediv]

guitaro, taking care of your family isn't an accomplishment because YOUR SUPPOSED to take care of your family.

[Kyuroboto]

You're not even an U.S. born citizen, shut your trap. You sound like a telemarketer.

[Hadgoux]

He keeps talking about computers, as if that is what college is for.

And yes, I should say a high school diploma is a huge accomplishment for th e great majority of people

[TheDreamReborn]

I keep talking about computers because it's the future. Obviously that's not all you learn in college.

What makes graduating from High School an accomplishment for "the great majority"? It's a requirement to be a functioning member of society.

[Re3volution]

this guy has been indoctrinated. school is for people that are too stupid to survive by themselves.

[TheDreamReborn]

I'm assuming you didn't go to school. Am I right?

[wifeyhubby10]

You are so right Brother.

[Pentazoid111]

No, the federal government is not get out free money! All that money I am borrowing now to pays for my college costs, I WILL HAVE TO PAY BAck! WITH INTEREST! Granted, there are some grants given to certain students and scholarships available to students, but most people are taking out college loans to pay for the cost of college.

[MrsThatcher74]

THE DREAM REBORN:

They certainly produce a higher calibre of idiot in the West Indies.

[45thpaace]

College is not for me. I love to work and have several jobs that I enjoy. for example I am an aircraft mechanic. I have LOADS of fun turning wrenches on small airplanes. I can't get financial aid because my grades were too low, my grades were too low because i had no interest in college. So college is not for me. I do hold a pilots license and will pursue a commercial aviation license, but i will not be attending a college anymore. I've attended one year and that was enough for me.

[Shawneha]

I was speaking mostly on ya headline

[Shawneha]

I think if this government really gave a shit about us(blacks), college wouldn't cost so much in the first place.

[ANGLEBOOT]

Sorry Shawneha but colleges are not ran by the government. They don't set the cost.

But for you friend. what i have learn here in the states would be prett much worthless in Nigeria. In Nigeria there are not the set standards as an engineer as there is here in the states.

Just a preentry to hire with a company would show he won't know 1/4 of what he would nee to know in the states, due to set standards.

[jabmalassie]

But alot of the standards are very similar.

It is the professional bodies who want to limit supply. If they were to flood the market salaries would drop. We need tons of doctors in Canada. We have foreign trained doctors who are driving cabs. The human body is pretty much the same.

[Shawneha]

But whats holding him back is cost. The cost of tuition, a place to stay, transportation, etc. Now that's not right.

[Shawneha]

Real Talk. High School was really awaste of time. I mean think about everything you leared in 4 years of school and you telling me it takes 4 years to learn that basic bull they teaching. A guy I know from Nigeria was telling me that 2 years of college is mandatory in his country. and guess what. Its free. Hebasically knows the ins and outs of being a mechanical engineer but when he got to this country, he couldn't get a job. He had to go to school all over for what he already knew.

[violetsareblue14]

and as for the video you completely ignore the fact that some people might want to get techinal training or go to the military or start a business after high school and it is true that college is not for everybody Bill Gates doesnt have a college degree and George Bush went to Yale and was the worst president we ever had and a college education does not automatically mean that person is intelligent trust me i know

[TheDreamReborn]

As I told you in the message, Yes, I am aware that Bill Gates is a college drop-out and that George Bush is not the smartest person on earth. They are exceptions to the rule though. Don't you agree? I'll be making a video about this soon(may be tonight) where I will explain further.

[TheDreamReborn]

Also in this video I was speaking about higher education which isn't only limited to college. As President Obama said in his speech which I believe I quoted in this video, higher learning includes vocational training, apprenticeships and so on.

[Shawneha]

This vlog right here hands down is one thats probably going to define who it is and what it is you stand for. And from what I'm hearing, its not BLACK unity. You have become too ASSIMILATED for your own good.

[TheDreamReborn]

Too assimilated to what? I grew up in a country that is 49% African/49% East Indian/2% Other

I live in a neighbourhood with mostly Trinidadians like me.

Please explain further.

I also NEVER said this video or my channel was about Black Unity.

[Shawneha]

Like how to survive without the fucking public utilities who don't do shit but exploit our fucking labor. Wake up Dream. A lotta young brothas see the struggle that their parents go through and realize its just a fuckin RAT Race. I myself will never judge another brother unfavorable or less than someone with a so called college degree. U take that same mufuka with that degree and he couldn't survive a week in the fucking sahara, amazon, or any other wilderness.

[jabmalassie]

There is some truth to what you say.

I am not a communist but the people who own the means of production have a huge influence on education. The people who have nothing have to go to the maketplace and trade a skill to earn a living to get a piece of the pie. The marketplace dictates the demand to some degree and also these professional bodies set up many barriers.

I live in Canada and I will tell you that I have had experiences where I was workin in an office with over 90%...

[jabmalassie]

Asians. They were very hard working and set records for productivity. Many had the courses that were required in that department for upward mobility. CFA,MBA

computer and you name it. The managment consisted of the 6 lone white Canadian guys who could talk who were not nearly as educated or as hardworking.

The education was not recognized because it was originally a barrer but not since the many were qualified it was not NOT RECOGNIZED. The power in the institution was white.

[jabmalassie]

We are also totally out of touch with nature. Don't get me wrong , society can produce great things. You can also become totally lost in it. Studying all this stuff and there is no demand for your skill or you get in the organization and they try to shut you out of the prime jobs or don't get good training. The dream is right in one sense in being realistic. Without these qualifications you are generally screwed.

[Shawneha]

I think its totally unfair that a person who earns barely 20,000 dollars a year would have to go in debt for a minimum of 40,000 dollars to try to improve his earning potential, and the job is not even garaunteed. Thats bullshit. I know people who got 2 and 3 jobs just behind some shit like that.

[Efferts]

Ouch.

That's what trade schools are for. Cut costs & time to make the job & money faster. Trade school students begin careers the 1st yr a college student enrolls.

[ANGLEBOOT]

That's not to even count the roads to get to the office, or the car's it took to get to the office. Then all the product it takes to work in the office. it's not like 10% of the people in Canada produces the products and the rest just sitb and think of what products to produce. but if you right and that is true. Canada has now taken the lead of the worlds laziest country.

[jabmalassie]

The example is was using about the office I was working in was to say the most educated people were actually being held down. The job was not that complex the software and computers did

the job for you. The bank owned the technology. The shareholder and top management were anglo saxon. They could not give a shit about what you studied. You were basically working like a robot and not rewarded. Education is important but alot of barriers still.

[ANGLEBOOT]

So you work in a office. Do you know how many trades it took to build the building that your office is in? All the products that had to be made,sold,bought to build the building? all the produsts that it took to just made the products to buiold the build? The list is almost endless. The amount of office hours it took to to build the office? These buildings tookmany people that for dome form of education. College degrees. Down to even the high school drop out as the lower form of labor.

[jabmalassie]

Karl Marx "For Marx, capitalism is tied to the alienation of workers from the means of production: they no longer own what they need to make a living and so must sell their labor in the "free" market to earn money to buy their subsistence needs"

[e521soediv]

Shawneha, you're just delusional. Get it together.

[Shawneha]

What am I delusional about?

[e521soediv]

You delusional about because you're hating on people with college degree, and you don't think it's important.

[Shawneha]

Why would you judge your own brother by some other fucking contries standard anyway. You about this ..... fucking close from being labeled a SALEOUT. Real talk. Wake up brother, and wake up fast. Look at the fucking condition we are coming from. Black America is Lost. We don't know who we are. We are a people without an identity. And you wonder why the average brother could give a fuck about a biased school system. Fuck their system. They aren't teaching us what we really need to know.

[Shawneha]

u know what the problem is with this school system. It doesn't represent blacks. We go to school and learn about the government and so called black history and we are told capitalism is democracy yet when we turn on the news we see something totally different. Dream all your doing with this vlog is repeating something a white supremist would say.

[TheDreamReborn]

Who does this school system represent? Does it represent Asians? Does it represent Indians? Who does it really represent?

[Shawneha]

It represents CONFUSION

[Shawneha]

And it represents mainly Indoctrination

[ANGLEBOOT]

People that were born in the USA. Where they or their parents or grandparents have payed into a tax system for themselfs or their off spring. not people that come to the country to live off the Nation like a bunch of leeches.

People that come from other countries to go to any form of school in the USA, bring your on money. And stop leeching of the people of the USA.

[TheDreamReborn]

...ok

[ToniBaldie]

I am still thinking about, why is it that the Black schools are so bad?...It is still baffling to me.

[RepresentativeEAB]

Well you have to take into account the neighborhoods many black schools are in, the lack of involvement from parents, the lack of motivation, etc. We have to start making school fun.

[NorseSage]

Black schools are in black neighborhoods with black people. That's why the schools suck.

The houses black people live in and the schools they aren't made of inferior brick and mortar, the books they read aren't made with inferior ink and inferior paper from inferior trees.

The reason black schools underperform is because those schools are filled with underperforming black people.

You could take a wave of North Korean immigrants who just got here from a nation whose poverty is much more acute than the worst American inner city ghetto and put those kids in the same schools and they will outperform the black students who have a government bending over backwards just to accomodate them.

Blacks are born with a smaller brain less capable of scholarship than an Asian or Aryan brain. And to make things worse most black people are more concerned with platinum teeth, bling bling and crack pipes than they are with the pythagorean theorem or newton's law.

[TheDreamReborn]

I know a lot of people are going to get mad at me for this, but I agree with everything you said except the "smaller brain less capable of scholarship" statement. There isn't any evidence to back that up.

[TheDreamReborn]

Also I wouldn't say that the immigrants who excel are from other races only. I would rather you say that they're from different cultures. There are many scholars of African descent in America and in the Caribbean.

But yo Dream, you mentioned you hate to hear people say college isn't for everybody because of the many opportunities America offers. I'm guessing you are in school now because you didn't go when you graduated from high school. My question is, why didn't you go to college after you graduated high school?

[TheDreamReborn]

Yes, you are right. I didn't go to College immediately after High School because of personal reasons. That doesn't change the fact that I always intended on attending College. I unfortunately had to postpone it until now.

[RepresentativeEAB]

Oh Alright.

[RepresentativeEAB]

You agree they're more concerned with crack pipes too?

[TheDreamReborn]

Of course not. The statement was so asinine I skipped over it without knowing.

[RepresentativeEAB]

Not true.

[RepresentativeEAB]

LOL! Ahh come on man.. Rural area schools doesn't perform well either.

Go AND TAKE YOUR STORMFRONT RACIST ASS BULLSHIT COMMENTS SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TALK ABOUT BLACKS WHEN YOU COME ON HERE MAKING YOUR SELF LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE DAMN IDIOT GO CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK

Black schools have less supplies and resources. They also have low SAT/Test scores overall.

[TheDreamReborn]

That wasn't true in the case of the High School I attended. They had the same amount of supplies and resources as the rest of NY public schools.

[wrangler34]

Very Good points. This is definitely something to think about. Thanks for sharing your opinion! 5/5

[TheDreamReborn]

Thanks for commenting. Feel free to share.

Well this makes a lot of sense. I don't understand how ppl can be satisfied with just a high school diploma. A high school diploma is just the beginning, it just means that you're not dumb and have the potential to learn more. Even with a college degree it's hard to get a job (well the right one that is).

Besides... college is so much fun! If you can go to college, do it. Even if you don't know what to do with your life and don't know what to major in.

[TheDreamReborn]

Exactly. A High School diploma basically says that you have an average education. It's hard to understand how anyone plans to survive with a High School diploma. The job market for jobs that require at least a High School diploma is quickly shrinking.

[ANGLEBOOT]

"jobs that require at least a High School diploma is quickly shrinking"

Oh there is a reason for that. At one time companies got a big tax break for in-company training. Having there own training centers. For like vocational training, apprenticeships. With OJT.

But those tax breaks were taken away some time back. Then popped up ITT tech, DeVry ect...

Now do you know how ITT gets their money from the government?

Great video man. Out of interest, what was the other ethnicity of students in the school in Queens?

[TheDreamReborn]

Thanks.

Mostly children of East-Indian descent(Indians,Guyanese,Trini­dadians). There were also a few Eastern-Europeans(Russians, Polish, Italians)
