The funny thing though is that most of the black men I met while in college were really cool and down-to-earth men.
The ONLY one I met who wanted to "stunt" was a guy who came from the 'hood high school and thought he was hot stuff for just going to college. It was kind of silly how he'd brag about getting a 3.2 from Hood High and how various chickenheads would drop the panties when he said he was in college.
Meanwhile, I was going to an all-black college prep PUBLIC high school where black men got 3.2s or better with much tougher curriculums and were NOT bragging about it. Going to college was merely another expected step along their life path -- one to be celebrated, sure, but one that was mapped out from day one.
I went to a decent college, but it wasn't even the best in Michigan... so the first guy looked really foolish to black women who grew up in a different environment to be bragging about merely being close to graduation at a decent state school and getting a 3.2 when he was in high school.
All of this to say that the blog that Glib Gurl posted seems to describe a certain type of educated black man that sorely lacks a broader perspective. Those are the types of men to be avoided...
