So how are they going to 'develop proprietary technology' if they aren't in the field or majoring in those subjects?
My point was that instead majoring in BS degree programs like businesses administration and sociology, major in something that you can give you a skill and make you competitive.
After that blacks can set up dev boot camps or other programs like that to our youth because we sure as hell knows they won't be getting any exposure to that in school.
seriously, this...while things like education are noble pursuits; they aren't exactly at the high end of the pay scale. while choosing a profession based on money is probably not the best way to fulfillment/happiness nor the be all end all but better to baalnce a path that you enjoy & will pay well...

The man that invents, does so out of necessity, not training.
Western style rote academia does not encourage innovation.
It's design to churn out more of the same thing.
A person good at following directions/ order.
one, if you were to name the maybe the top 5-10 inventions of human history, i'm not sure any of them would have come to be out of necessity. to the contrary, many of the most important things have come to be from divergent thinking, looking at things differently...necessity has a way of focusing/narrowing the mind that isn't always conducive to being open to new ideas...
if you don't think western style education encourages innovation, which does?
I don't see how you can support civil rights for Black people and be against homosexuals having the same rights without prejudice. It's extremely hypocritical. Regardless of what you believe, if you don't support equal rights for ALL, then I can't respect it. Especially when in a religion is brought into the discussion (in a nation founded on religious freedom). Yes, per the Bible, homosexuality is a sin, but the good Word also teaches us that let he that is without sin cast the first stone.
What does one have to do with the other? Blacks struggle against systematic white supremacy or "civil rights" that effects us in nearly every aspect of our lives (education, economics, public policy, healthcare, the judicial system, employment etc.) While gay people are banned from.... being legally married??? I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the correlation.
That's like saying since I have terminal cancer I should be able to sympathize with someone who has a cold because I know what it's like to be sick. 
.
people's biases are showing, y'all are thinking about it waaay too hard, both are groups being denied rights, it's really that simple. it isn't the same & shouldn't be made to be, those that go out of their way to compare the two probably do a great disservice to being heard; but it is worrying that people can't see the parallels...
for the record, that analogy is some type of terrible, because that is exactly the point (it wouldn't surprise me if more people actually die of the common cold/flu, than cancer yearly)...as both things are illnesses, different in magnitude & seriousness but you would imagine people being able sympathize with each others affliction because while not experiencing the same specific thing each knows the feeling of being sick...and it is hypocritical to not want the same rights for others (be it gays, hispanics, immigrants, women, etc.) what you'd want for you & yours; i'm not religious but i generally for most civil situations (lituations, however are totally different) the golden rule is a good guide...
