The problem is multifaceted, but the truth is a lot of people profit from the demonetization of Black men. People are only trying to help themselves. While some BM might be trying "to fit in" the problem is forces are working to push us out.
It's also hard to get Black men in those key fields when there are almost no programs specifically targeted for Black males. Black people, maybe. Black women, for sure. Black men tho? And when you try to do it, there will be attempts to derail and redirect to someone else.
And notice you did what everyone does when we talk about challenges Black men face. We're told it's our fault. "We're not involved in enough fields. We are limiting ourselves." It's fine to explore solutions BM can do, but we do not do this with other harmed groups.
LGBT, women, etc. we don't say "it's your fault" and what they have to do to fix things. We examine the societal forces working against them and address it. However, it's true that BM will have to figure this out for ourselves, because others have no interest, nor motivation to improve our well-being and humanity.
