Thank you for your support!
It’s called an “Honorary Degree” for a reason.
Calling you “Dr” would be disrespectful to real Doctors, ma’am.
It truly is
My father in law got an honorary degree for a doctorate in pharmacy because he worked hard with pharmacy lobbyists. My mother in law, his wife, is an actual doctor so she always reminds him that his honorary doctorate degree doesn’t make him a doctor 🤣 😅
Imagine them actually going to hospital and saying I'm a Doctor as well... 😂
Facts
@@spaceracer23 “Associates” you showed up to class.
These so called "honorary degrees" is really a slap in the face to the ppl who worked their a*sses off to get their real degrees. Just disgraceful
Agreed
Perfectly said!!!
@@juju_2cute seriously I wouldn’t even disrespect people like that
Yes!
It’s a Honorary Degree 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Nah congratulating your ex for a participation award and not your own son who worked for his is crazy.
that part
That clone Ross is fake as it gets
Truth
You have to think of the irony in this. Society has a way of diluting individuals' reality. Most of the time, they are engaged with what they believe is most popular. Unfortunately, at times, the black community is not supportive of traditional methods of success. Meaning, stories of success that includes long hours, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. They're more inclined to support coddling delusional perspectives of people self-acclaiming, manipulating reality and false achievements.
So, no. Rick Ross of course will not publicly recognize his son and would partake in this buffoonery of claiming to be a Dr. based on an honorary degree. Lastly, I believe most folks accept their honorary degrees with humility and would never claim equivalence to those who've studied an extensive amount of years.
I'm just saying....
🤷🏽♂️
That’s why his baby mama won’t let up on him 🤣
Honorary degrees are completely BS and 100% disrespectful to people who truly put in the time, money, effort, (blood,sweat, and tears) required to accomplish that level of achievement.
💯
It's really not that big a deal. No one think an honorary degree is anything but titular. It is _explicitly_ honorary after all.
And the money too.
I agree! Real doctorates can take nearly a decade to achieve!
It's an honorary degree that means absolutely nothing 🤷🏾♂️
She's no more a doctor than Dr. Dre, Dr. Pepper, etc 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now Dr. Pepper that was a good one lol 😂
Dr. Excell huh. Microsoft told me that my “PowerPoint” presentation said I have a different “Outlook” on life. “Word” !!!!
😆
😂😂😂😂
Word😂😂
Lol!
Classic!!!! Good one my g!!!! Good one!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀☠️
I have a real PhD from a real brick-and-mortar school, and only clients call me doctor.
She wants to be called doctor and she has an explicitly honorary degree from what's basically a diploma mill. An honorary degree from a diploma mill is one of the most pathetic things ever.
Ditto
Congratulations on your accomplishments and being dedicated and disciplined!
“I’m a PhD”
@@phantom96aggie00
How hard is obtaining a PhD? Any advice? I want to obtain my PhD in Linguistics. Right now, I'm working towards my Bachelor's. I'll be done in 3 years since I have to take a year off due to my pregnancy.
My little daughter got her honorary wings for flying American Airlines last week. Don’t mean she finna fly a Boeing 747 Jet the next time. 😂. What a joke.
The perfect analogy.
Im sure ur daughter isnt walking around calling herself a pilot 😂
Lol 😂
An honorary degree is a disgrace to the people who actually earned a real degree
Why? I don't get it.
it depends. For example, if Warren Buffett gets an honorary doctorate in business or some related field, it makes perfect sense. If it's an exceptional person in a related field of study, then I don't see the issue.
Crabs 🦀 in a barrel. Why are we so negative all the time? Only us.
@@ShicaHill please shut up with that clown talk nobody is being negative
@ShicaHill that makes no sense. This isn't a crab in a barrel thing. She wants to be called a doctor, which is a professional degree. So what's her profession? Weaves, wigs, rappers and reality TV. The only thing she's contributed to society are social media posts.
My mother showed up at my Marine Corps graduation even after I defied her by joining without her blessing. It meant everything to see her in the audience after the things we said to one another because I honestly thought we'd never speak again. That was 25 years ago. I lost her to kidney failure 2 months ago, but I'll always be grateful that she supported me even though she didn't agree with my life choice. RIP Momma. Love you
Hmm interesting. He praise a fake because he's fake. No more needs to be said
Wow oooh did not know that about Rick Ross. Shame On him for not attending your son's HS grad.
Make it make sense right now.
It took me 11 years of college post high school to accomplish a doctoral degree. Months of staying focused and choosing studies vs partying and friendships. My doctorate degree was the toughest and here they are just handing it out to people who never even did an ounce of philanthropic activity. Just disrespectful.
Congratulations Dr
Congratulations, on accomplishing your doctoral degree!!!
Congrats...What subject? I'm planning on applying for my doctorate in Epidemiology this year for fall of 2025
Well looks like some people don't want to put in the work, they rather just have a fake piece of paper saying I'm a Doctor.
Tell me about it. Starting my second year in my doctorate program while working in special education full time. Lot of strategizing and sacrifice.
Honorary Degree is a participation medal for breathing in the right circles.
She has zero real skills in that arena
Whewwwwww the truth!
Facts PinkBook because I cried many nights for MY MASTERS DEGREE, which took me 8 years working full-time.
@@ABC123-jb1jwcongrats!
Congratulations on all the hard work you put in!!
Took me 2 years to get my first Masters and working on another Masters
As someone who is in the process of earning a doctorate... An honorary doctorate being given to someone who has not contributed to any field in any significant manner is an insult to those putting in the work.
The number of people with degrees saying things like you does more to devalue real degrees than every honorary doctorate combined.
I call them participation awards.
@@BiggieTrismegistussimp
Rick was never father of the year anyway, I would hate to be his son! I even rescheduled my doctor appointment to go to my daughter's 8th grade graduation and my husband delayed his chemo to go to her kindergarten graduation. He's been in remission for almost 10 years now. No excuse to miss out on your child's graduation.
It’s one of the most important days of their lives that they worked 13 years for. Much love to your family 🙏
Ok I have my doctorate…I hate it. People like this make me hate my degree more because I was basically abused for years and these people treat it as either a joke or an honor when in reality I’m just shameful of it.
I hate our society.
Finishing up medical school now and after years of subtle shade and abuse from residents and attendings, this comment hits home
It’s definitely a slap in the face. I understand your frustration.
At least you can get something out of yours degree, these "special people" on the other hand... Good luck getting a job with it
@@ninjagirl226 I am feeling just like you.
@@ninjagirl226 the scary part is that they will open illegitimate places and people who don't know better will go there.
Doctor here, yes, I do find it disrespectful...right or wrong, I do...
I understand you 100%
5:05 as a father of a black son my kid is a senior this year him graduating is gonna be one of the best things that ever happened to me. I almost let the streets ruin my life and almost lost my life in the streets and I kept my son out of the streets that’s very important I’m happy already he doesn’t graduate to June next year. Words shouldn’t be able to express how happy you would be of your son not becoming a statistic and staying out of the prison system this is just my opinion
🙏
I wasn't expecting to shed a tear from a video like this. The troops surprising their family gets me every time.
same
When the son clutched his mouth, it struck me to the bone.
Son does something special dad ignores it but jumpoff gets a fake accomplishment dad is quick to praise her fake degree.
CEOs of huge conglomerates dont have Doctorates. Let that sink in.
Nowadays in most cases present CEO’s and leaders of huge companies who don’t have college degrees got where they are because they started near the bottom and worked their way to the top by learning the industry and proving their worth. Companies aren’t willing to do that anymore and it shows, because the people at the top don’t know how or what their subordinates jobs are and just rely on everyone else. Experience in an industry, in business in general, and the ability to communicate and get along with other effectively are much more valuable than a paper degree.
@@Magical_Thinking Also some CEOs without degrees started their own company.
So what congratulating with a doctorate degree is still a hug accomplishment!!
@@Magical_Thinking that's not how present day CEOs make it. Where did you learn that from?
The video creator does not understand how universities work with regard to the degree system. All that steam in this video. Nothing will change how universities “honor”or “confer” a degree.📜 🤦♀️
That was beautiful the way that little girl reacted to seeing her dad ifyou didn't feel that, maybe you need a hug
I didn’t feel it, because sir or ma’am, where have you been? Those type videos actually piss me off. Stay active in your kids life. I get it if you’re in the military. Everybody else, no excuses.
I worked hard in the Army to get the money to go to school. Then I spent eight years going to school to earn a bachelor's in business and two minors from Saint Louis University. I am not calling her doctor.
Totally agree with you! This degree is BS!
She don’t do 💩 on her job. She just smile and keep a job! Wild n out been carrying her for years
That's facts..V is useless as a comedian.
@@tonybrown680 no hate to her but thank you for being real! It’s not hating when we tell the truth! People shut up bc they can’t take the heat
@@Makeitmakesense86 real talk Family..tell that truth, whether they like it or not.
I thought I was the only one to notice this
Why are random people especially celebrities getting honorary degrees from these colleges they didn’t graduate from 🤔
Where are the honorary degrees for the alumni
Right
@@itsjonae6957 Harvey Weinstein had an honorary degree from my alma mater. I don't recall if they revoked it once his dirty deeds came to light.
Getting an "honorary degree" is like gettin a BBL. you have to go and put in the REAL work to get REAL results.
As a retired medical professional that has worked in healthcare for over 33 years I shed actual blood, sweat and tears to earn my degree. My daughter who is so proud of her father is currently in school to become an orthodontist. We always want the accolades without the hard work that it comes with.
They need to take doctor out of anything if it doesn't have anything to do with healthcare
"Doctor" has never been a title used only by people in healthcare and PhDs are almost 900 years old. For centuries what's now essentially an "MD" was awarded as a PhD in medicine.
Other occupations use the title of doctor. Like education, science other than medicine, and (shudder) religion.
@@zanieyoung2201Correct. But they put in the work, and didn’t skip from diploma to Doctorate. They went from Diploma or GED, to Bachelors to Masters to Doctorate. Many years of Education.
The Dad showing up for the baby daughter is amazing
As someone who actually earned a degree, these honorary degrees piss me off!
I can imagine
Honorary Dr degree. Wow!! They hand those out to anyone. My preacher actually has 2 doctorates.. 1 being from Yale and he wants to be addressed by his first name. Old money vs. New money scenario
Same here
As someone in the end of getting mine I agree it ticks me off cause this junk hard and while working Chile.
@AimeeBrittain yes, having to work at the same time makes it twice as hard. I was a full-time waitress while carrying a full-time class load. Best of luck to you finishing your degree!
Doctors have to present a dissertation to receive their real authentic PhD 😒🤷♂️💯
I *earned* my doctorate!!! Lot’s of hard work, studying, and 💰.
Congratulations 🎉
She praised something fake, but not something real?
The school isn't even an accredited university. Even if you give respect to honorary degrees, it should at the very least come from an accredited university.
Why should I be able to make up my own university and then give myself an honorary doctorate, and then have others call me doctor? It is dumb.
It should be illegal. Why isn't the academic community taking this up??? At least be an accredited institution to be able to issue certifications of a certain level - honorary or earned.
I agree with you 100% PBL. These honorary degrees are disrespectful to every person who has had to earn that same degree. They should not exist. Not sure how they started, probably with a rich benefactor or something, but it needs to stop. Thank you for always being the voice of reason and confidently stating your case. Love how you call out the nonsense and bring these crazy scenarios back to reality.
Nah I'mma call you Hyundai Excel 😊
😆
not Hyundai Excel lol
That was my first damn car in high school!!!!.lol
Oh lord 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love @Pink Book Lessons Authenticity!!!! 💗💗💗
I appreciate you sis 🙏💜
@@pinkbooklessons You're very welcome!
@DeeDeesReactipns and @Pinkbooklessons both of you are necessary and I appreciate both of you.
I work with a few REAL PHD’s who actually put in the work for that title. Swear we live in a world where everyone wants a “TITLE” but don’t deserve it.
Pink book you a beast love it 😂
That's right sista. When your kids do wrong chastise them, when they do good recognize them 💯 🫡😊
Hello, I have a BA in Criminal Justice & Economics and would never accept an Honorary Degree, this is absolutely shameful and disrespectful at all levels!!!
This is where we are at in Society given out Degrees that haven't been earned, but then again, that's how a lot of people live their lives!!!
Congratulations to his Son for graduating High School! With all the attention he received and still keeping his head on straight!
As someone with an actual PHD, I don’t stress if people call me Doc or not. I don’t even use the title personally. Only in professional settings and on legal documents. I’d NEVER heard someone demand to be called Doc over a title they didn’t earn….. bruh
I'm about to work to get a honorary degree so I can save on college loans.
William Leonard Roberts was definitely outta line for that.
I gave him grace he takes care of his son this the one time I disagree with pinkbook
Why are these Universities just handing out these Honorary Degrees like nothing!!! Oh boy!!!!
That's their whole scheme. These are unaccredited universities. Many of them don't even offer classes. Their graduations are exclusively for those who receive these "honorary doctorates". They don't even confer bachelors degrees or masters degree.
@@cristalhenson95 Money
I can't applaud you enough for your authentication because I worked hard driving to school every day and sleepless night for my education accomplishments with a master's degree while I missed time from my kids to earn my degree and am now working on my PhD and it's kicking my ass and to see people getting there without my tireless nights and anxiety when a paper is due really hit a chord. I love you for keeping it real and you deserve your flowers. Bless you for your words of wisdom..
🙏
🙌🏾Excellent commentary Pink!!
As a real doctor myself, it’s highly disrespectful and inappropriate. They most definitely need to change the name of this award and the wardrobe. I actually commented on her IG stating she wasn’t a real doctor of anything and to stop lying to people. Having a photoshoot for an imaginary degree is diabolical 😅. I refuse to call anyone who has a honorary doctorate degree, a doctor.
The way that baby girl cried seeing her daddy made my heart melt. 🥰
WOW. 70 something year old Donald Trump was front and center at Barron's graduation-and he's juggling political persecution, debating 🥔, and campaigning all over the country.
And dealing with lawsuits and criminal courts and being a convicted felon his plate is super full but still at his sons graduation

The look on my kids face when I show up in my dirty work clothes, trying to make it to an event of theirs, is priceless. 😢
An honorary degree from an online school? LOL, that truly isn't worth the paper it is printed on.
@6:45 I was crying! “Honorary degrees” are a slap in the face to those of us that worked for REAL degrees.

This comment brought me back to my own personal standard of thinking, other people’s accomplishments or failures have nothing to do with yours, either give support or keep it pushing.
….Unless of course im the parent of said person 💁🏽♀️
Lemon Pepper Wings are more important than that child to Rick Ross.
You can whisper 'Lemon Pepper Wings' in the back of a Rick Ross concert and it'll come to a complete STOP, followed by Ross suddenly disappearing!
😂😂😂😂
Getting an honorary degree is based on your contribution to a specific field so you're basically paying for a useless piece of paper.
Love your perspective on both of these topics. You are right on, Pink Book Lessons!
🙏
Society keeps finding new ways to fake it. Fake honors are true disrespect.
No Fake Sh*t Round Here Authenticity 👌🔥🔥
I don't mind Honorary Degrees for ppl who have made significant positive impact in our society.
Disagree... if you didn't sit down and stay up late hours studying. Spending money and your time busting your ass then no it's not justified. Sorry but not sorry. My wife is giving her life to get her doctorate so yeah I think it's bullshit
@@holyfaith7 As a PhD l can honestly say, there are phenomenal people who deserve these honors. I did my own work to include statistical analysis, editing, form & style. When u take on the rigorous academic journey it is understood that an enormous amount of time will be devoted.
@@cynthiaadeyemi1746 I understand your side but after seeing what my wife is going through to get her doctorate there is nothing that can convince me that just being special in the world earns that Doctor in front of your name. To see tears on my wife eyes to us canceling outings because she has to study. With all those things added on no way you can convince me. I'm not ignorant I just seen the pain with my own eyes of earning it. It's something about the journey that makes it more special. Question: Do you feel that you and pretty Vee are the same in the accomplishments of earning yall doctorate??? 🤔
BTW amazing 👏 on earning your PHD. Awesome job done.
She is a influencer periodt 😮
As a casual listener of Ross, this confirms he 24/7 plays his character. A father/son relationship is more valuable than diamonds or clout.
I agree one one hundred percent. As someone who's working on his doctorate, its disrespectful as if we're arent busting our behinds studying. As well as working full time and raising families. Give me a break.
that little girl that cried in her daddies arms made me cry. I'm so glad he made it to see her.
PBL holds both men and women accountable. Calls out the bs even if she’s standing alone. That’s character.
An honorary degree is so disrespectful to the men and women who studied hard.
Keep'em coming PBL...sending peace ,love, and respect for your content👍🏽 🙌🏽🧡
Thanks for watching 🙏
I can understand an honorary degree given to someone who has done tremendous work in their field for decades to the point where they are regarded as an expert, but giving them out to just anyone is bananas. Arguing that they could have done stuff behind closed doors is equally insane. If someone “deserves” an honorary degrees then the public should know what they have contributed to the field.
Thank you @pinkbooklessons for “Always” speaking the absolute Truth!!
Fake like my college!!
Momma Tia did great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Congratulations to the young man 🙏🏼
In honorary degree is like getting a participation reward for not even participating. It's a slap in the face to the people who actually paid the money and did the work to get their degree
That little girl crying when she saw her daddy has me all in my feelings and crying at my work desk right now. 😭😭You are so right, PBL, parents need to show up for their kids. Rick Ross should be ashamed of himself for ignoring his own child's big achievement to simp for a woman with a fake degree from a school that's only been around since 2016. Their website even says the Honorary Doctorate is not a PhD, it's an award.
Honorary Degree sound like participation trophies and that’s just cringe
The whole parent not being there for their child is just not surprising to me anymore and it’s so sad freaking sad because these kids need their parents.
Somebody gotta show her the definition of “honorary”. We can’t call you doctor, because that’s disrespectful to men and women who are doctors.
Alright !! I needed a warning about little girl seeing her Dad. It broke me tears are burning my face!! God bless them!!
Ms Pink Book You Definitely Cooked And Preached On This One Queen!!!!!! We Definitely Need More & More Of This 💯🫡🫡🫡🫡
It’s the reality of life. A pretty woman will be handed the world just to smile while a young man working his hardest to distinguish himself will have to fight for his own parents attention. Some will call this misogynist but it’s a reality most men accept in their school years when the disrespectful girls in school always get believed by the teachers…
PBL, u be spitting that good Ole fashion tough love that the "communitah" desperately needs to hear. Keep cooking
That hit home made me cry at the end😢
It's an award, NOT, a degree. That's why professionals and executives recommend listing it on your resume as, an award, and, NOT A DEGREE💯
Call this lady a doctor is a disgrace and a slap in the face to all of people that to a 4 year institution and study their behind off to get their real degrees as for the fake Rick Ross the guy who claimed to fame by stealing someone else’s name he should be ashamed of himself for not taking time to go see his son graduate and accomplishments that his son has done.
I WILL NOT sit back and congratulate someone on something that didn’t they didn’t rightfully own. And it is sad that there are people who worked extra hard for theirs and then watch someone walk across that stage and receive a degree for making CONTRIBUTIONS to a particular field.
I am a 31-year-old man helping my girlfriend through college and soon law school! It truly pisses me off that they giving away degrees! The financial burden is ridiculous! If you want to help people make them take the classes for free. Don't just give them the damn degree!
Most people who have doctorates would rather be called by their real name. They don’t feel the need to be addressed as doctor at every turn.
Pretty Vee? I've never heard of her.
Me neither
Ross was most likely avoiding his kids mother.
This whole thread, and you’re the only one with a shred of common sense💯
I know that feeling no one showed up for my 6th grade graduation I never had another one from that disappointment so I made sure I didn’t miss none of my kids graduation
Fake it til you make it.
This is why I do not take the antics of the Jester class seriously. Too many of our people worship these professional fools, instead of looking up to Black people who are actually positively contributing to society.
I agree. There's so many wonderful blk role models and great pastors, but people are choosing the Sexy Redds, fake Gucci suit pastors, or anyone that preaches pride and superiority.
Godliness and humility need to come back in style before its too late
PBL on point about Rick Ross.
And the sentiment is 100% right. To get a MD/PhD/DO/DDS and any version that earns the title “Dr”, we spend too much time and stress out way too much for that mess
It's an Honorary Degree that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 🤷🏽♂️
Ok, I'll call her honorary Dr
Possibly Rick Ross is jealous of his son's accomplishments.

I have at times listened to your channel and felt a lot of the information disseminated was aligned with my thoughts and I felt objectivity. Today you hit the proverbial nail on the head. I have a Juris Doctorate and it took my 9 hard years between working, and assisting my mother after my father transitioned during my junior year in high school. It is indeed a slap in the face of those who sacrificed their lives to better not only their lives but their families. So in turn I’m a subscriber and will share your channel with others.
Omega Psi Phi ‘95
Amen. Its similar to the immigrants who worked hard to legally come to America while illegals get special treatment, or the kids who paid student debt while others didn't have to. Affirmative action and DEI is a slap in the face to all the blk folks who study and work hard to do well or the Asians and others who get denied when they were more qualified.
You did it the proper way, and people like you should be the example NOT the people getting fake degrees
