You’ve been duped into attacking the powerless in an effort to beg for scraps. Sad. The black community deserves more.


Here's what they think about you...especially when you aren't a blind Bernie loyalist.

That's the main point of all of this. She equates reparations to being scraps. Idk what these other guys in here are arguing about.

 

[Micky Mikey]

I dont get it. What did she say that was wrong?

Her argument has nothing to do with reparations. Just pointing out that white supremacist have distracted a lot of yall into fighting with Mexicans over low skilled jobs with no upward mobility as though it's a noble cause that's going to increase the position of black labor in this country.

I agree.

 

[Burned Verses]

What was wrong with what she said?

 

[saturn7]

There are almost no places in the United States where this is a problem of any significance.

uhhh I'd say California.

Being excluded from all levels of labor harms blacks. And college is no magic bullet for blacks. Too many of us end up with tons of debt and either don't finish or can't get hired in the field we studied in. College Degrees has not translated into greater wealth for blacks.

Just a very elitist view point to think we all will get white collar jobs and manual labor should be beneath us. Too many unemployed or under-employed brothers, nevermind the brothers with records.

Wait, y'all mad because she said you should have a better job than being a low skilled underpaid worker?


Mortgage your future on a 17tn payday that isn't going to happen

What job is an 18 y/o black person coming frm a single parent household in the hood supposed to have? A corporate managament type of job? Yall do realize there are millions on black people that are not at that career age yet, but they need money to either go to school or start businesses. Where is that money supposed to come from?


I can tell many of you dont look at problem step by step. Yall have this magical A-to-Z logic where B through Y dont matter.

And you just made her point.

And you made her point again. White supremacist have successfully conditioned you to believe that having career aspirations is an elitist viewpoint.

Just so we're operating in facts:

• Blacks with college degrees make substantially more money than blacks with only a high school education
• The number of blacks working at the lowest levels is part of what paints the bleak picture between average wealth between whites and blacks
• The racial wealth gap exists at all levels, so why not make more money

Listen for a few minutes. @46
Did you hear when she mentioned the testimony from the black community about the difficulty young blacks have finding a job because they don't know spanish?

the black man should not have to participate in a global economy!

give us the local, entry level positions and we gone eat!!

This isn't even a real scenario. Globalization exists and it's not going anywhere.

Regardless, even within local, regional, and national economies the workers at the bottom will always be the most vulnerable and are more likely to remain at or near the bottom.

That's just capitalism.

Once we consider how much of upward mobility in the workplace is built around networking...

You know what. Nevermind. If you're happy at the bottom I'm happy for you.

reparations are not scraps!! entry level physical labor and service jobs are the foundation for blacks!!

reparations + entry level positions will get the black community back on track to where we need to be!!

 

[dtownreppin214]

i dont think she was talking about reparations, right? op is confusing.

This is the default response from liberals , of all races, when you bring up the reality that illegals really are “taking our jobz”
They want to make it a red neck talking point so you don’t feel comfortable speaking on it when it disproportionately affects blacks
Growing up all the fast food and bus boy type jobs were done by black ppl
Are they shytty jobs? Yes....but they’re jobs
Imagine how many black felons used those jobs to get on their feet
Now all gone cause illegals are depressing wages taking those jobs for scraps
When you bring this up you’re xenophobic and parroting conservative talking points tho
