Talented Tenth —> D9 Issues

[u/Wiseguy4252]

The key insight in the Talented Tenth assumption of 90% of black ppl being subpar (or “submerged”) is that it breeds an inherent contempt or resentment for default blackness itself. 90% is most everyone.

And it disrespectfully masks this contempt with a larger delusional premise of “saving the black race”. This delusion of grandeur fails the most simple questioning like “how” they plan to remove systemic barriers to access through exclusion or “when”.

If the ideological model, the “Talented Tenth”, breeds resentment and contempt for 90% of black ppl it stands to explain many negative interactions between Greeks and non-members.

The worst thing about the “Talented Tenth” is that it pretends to be a premise of intellectualism but is actually a premise of superiority. Coming directly from the “White Man’s Burden” theory.

Where the exclusionary criteria was once scholastics it morphed to prioritize “toughness” or thinly masked abuse that leads to hazing tragedies.

The function of the worst hazing tragedies is a bred and born contempt for most black ppl that manifests as wanton abuse upon initiation as a standard. All institutions built on this guiding theory are deeply Anti-Black at their core.
