If you're a black chemistry major, you're going to be pushed into working for a white chemical company.

If you're a black sociology major, you're going to find work at a government headed by white folks, or have to beg and plead for grant money from said white folks.

If you're a black business major, you're going to find work at a business headed by white folks.

Very few degrees give you any independence from having to work for white folks. Doctors, Criminal/personal injury defense attorneys,....But if I were a mechanical engineer, I can't just open up an office on Main Street and expect business. I'm a political scientist (according to my degree), I can't go anywhere expound on Mill or Rosseau and have someone pay me for it.

Colleges prepare you for very specialized niche roles in our economy. Black folks need to think bigger than that.
