Our sistas are walking around with her head up saying “I’m the most educated! I’m so smart and sh*t!” Overall, this is an extremely weird and out-of-touch talking point and I think it is used as some kind of rally point for Black women to be prideful of something.

It doesn’t matter in the real world, the competitive landscape, and at the end of the day who is the most educated.

There are two things that shut that argument down. The first is the outsource worker overseas with a “skill certificate” they obtained answering multiple choice questions sharing the answers with other. They are taking your job and guess what, they are not educated and taking your job.

The second is artificial intelligence. None of you sistas are more educated than an artificial intelligence platform, so who gives a damn about a “educated human” at this point when we can incorporate AI platforms like Microsoft CoPilot and M365 into the workplace. They can hire any goofy at that point to do advanced work by just learning prompts and stuff.

But here is the thing I got to say as a brotha. Why is the most educated have a worthless bum baby daddy? Or not smart enough to keep her man? Or have the highest infection rate of HIV? Or the biggest group to get evicted, get laid off, end up homeless? Don’t sound educated or smart enough to have her personal things in order.

Being smart doesn’t mean anything. Saying “Black women are the most educated” does reveal is the biggest issue with Black women that we Black men are noticing. Are you sistas smart enough to figure it out?

When you sistas are saying you are the “most educated”, that means you are a rent-seeker, that’s all you are saying. It means you need someone to “educate you” and you use some piece of paper to tell someone you are educated. You are looking for validation and acceptance for someone to put you on – that’s called rent seeking, looking to live or rent off someone else platform and bringing some education credential as your qualification to rent-seek.

This is what I’ve seen in my professional career of 30 years. You sistas can be the most educated, but you out there dissing your own Black men in the workplace and White worshipping. Meanwhile, the White men at work know that brotha served in Iraq or Afghanistan and a fellow veteran, but you Black sistas dissing that brotha. The White women saw him attending the baseball game last weekend and said hi to him at the concession stand and the White girl looking at you dissing that Black man at work from a distance.

The Indian and Asians saw that Black man at Wal-Mart over the weekend and at a weekend Python learning event but see you “educated sistas” on Monday worshipping White people while dissing that Black man. All those people, the White workers, the Asian workers, the Indian workers see right through you sistas being disrespectful and acting like that Black man who is a veteran, a community contributor, a smart skilled brotha is beneath your highly educated Black behind, sista.

You sistas are educated, but don’t network, have no bonds, walk around the corporate office by your damn self with an attitude and looking to smile at White Privilege circles for validation instead of earn anything. And that’s where the rubber meets the road.

Because what it takes to make it out here is the other E-words.

Experience. Do you have the actual skills to knock out work? Or you just doing BS work and tasks that automation is going to soon replace? Let’s be honest sista on that. You not building up experience and working with others to gain experience and insight on your professional, just posturing on the job with some “look at me” attitude.

Empowerment. Do you sistas truly own it? If you just say you are educated, you don’t own it. The brotha own his work truck and tools. The brotha owns his laptop and portable SSD with code snippets and prompt libraries. You sistas are just there getting a salary, and when it’s time to replace a sista with technology or outsourced labor, you found out you own nothing but rent seeking. But the brothas knew that anyway, you sistas weren’t empowered worth a damn.

Energy. You “educated” sistas have negative energy that no one cares about. Walk around with an aura of a combative attitude. Brothas cannot even say hello to you sistas at the job or at the conference anymore, just a stank attitude. Uncooperative, unapproachable leading to being undesirable, uninterested among the brothas and everybody else at the job.

Execution. People grade you on your execution. What I seen over and over when it comes to “educated” sistas is the complaints are rolling in, especially from Black people working under her. They say the “educated” sista is only there due to DEI and a White executive is f*cking her on the low. Then she feels like a plantation owner and go hard on Black workers – notice White workers don’t work under her, notice that. Then this educated sista get nothing accomplished, complaints to HR about how she treats people under her, then she leaves the company – I saw that script on replay for 20 years.

In summary, no one cares about a “most educated” because they care about who is “most qualified” for the opportunity and position. The most qualified does not need credentials, they need credibility and confidence.

You sistas don’t have credibility because you by yourself with all that “I don’t need a man bullsh*t” while the White, Asian, and Indian professional married couples are at Soho House networking with other professionals as husband and wife. You act like you in your own world while the brothas networking with everybody and hanging out at lunch together.

No one is “confident” in a sista ability to lead or progress in the opportunity either. If she isn’t cooperating with her Black man on the job, then others see right through an educated sista and have no confidence in her ability to lead. Getting along with others, mentoring others – sistas don’t even mentor each other and be competing with some bad b*tch attitude with her own sistas.

I seen it over and over - employers see a resume with a Black woman name and throw it right in the trash can or reject it on the computer. They all say the same thing – don’t want to put up with a sista having an attitude, uncooperative, unfriendly, and so on with all the negative connotations of someone who don’t add value but instead create chaos.

In summary – no one cares about an “most educated” Black woman. You sistas better get some real skills up, learn to teach, learn to lead, learn to cooperate and work with anybody, stop White worshipping like these Asian Oxford Study chicks, and show respect for everybody, including your Black man on the same job.

Then you won’t be the biggest group of women laid off, evicted, HIV infected out here while being the most educated.
