How many aspiring athletes, musicians, actors, models, singers, and other entertainer wannabes will ever make a six figure income in those fields? The odds are not good at all.
How many engineers and entrepreneurs will eventually make a six figure income? Far more, perhaps most. Every single statistician I ever employed eventually made six figures, either working for me or in their immediately subsequent job. No exceptions. If “black leaders” actually cared about these kids instead of about building a permanently disenfranchised power base, the talk would be all about working hard in school (and both parents staying active in their children’s lives and educations), not the aspiring rapper career path.
Yeah but then doing well in school is acting white and we can’t have that in the ghetto can we???
