Black Male Stereotyped Career Choice

I am glad it isn't as prevalant as it used to be, but it bothers me immensely that a lot of specifically black male children are pushed to become athaletes. A lot of them want to be and go pro, which is normal because I can understand wanting to be rich. Hell I want to be rich. It makes me sad though to see so many kids think that their only option is to become a professional athalete.

It is societies fault that things are like this of course, due to racism and segregation. Certain organizations teach black kids not to use credit cards and only use debit cards. Then they are pushed to get athletic scholarships. Am I the only person that thinks there is something wrong with this? It is almost like telling someone, "Hey, you are never going to do any better than this." I almost feel as if the same black mentors that are trying to protect black youth are holding them back and over protecting them in a sense. It is hurtful though. They are protecting them from the "man".

I hate the "man" too, but the "man" is no longer simply a white male, it is more defined than just that now. It is a bueaurocrat or politician. Old white men just happen to be one of the flavors, but you have those dick heads like the black guy on the supreme court to worry about too, Justice Thomas who is what a lot of people would call an Oreo Cookie or an Uncle Tom. This really has nothing to do with race and everything to do with demeanor and/or arrogance.

People need to wake up and stop telling others that a black person who speaks with ellegance or who sounds educated cannot be described as sounding white... It's not fair. How can you equate the sound of someone's voice with a race exactly? Plus is it wrong for someone to not sound like a ghetto thug or delinquent? I have seen a lot of wiggers in my day, but what people don't say is that people are a product of their environment. So if someone grows up in a ghetto environment they will sound ghetto. If a person grows up in an environment where their parents and peers speak with a clearer voice and less slang they will sound like that too... the point is the way you sound means nothing, but psychologically it will give people a predetermination whether that is right or wrong. Just like the length of your hair or the clothes you wear.
