“Black men have a tendency to pigeonhole themselves into the most basic medicore type jobs and be content with just that. That mindset has to change”

Y'all keep having these imaginary conversations that are not rooted in reality.


The reality is Black men are discriminated against in the job market.


Black men are not intentionally being "pigeonholed" Black men are flat out being denied opportunities.


Read some Dr. Tommy Curry or watch a ToneTalks video before you make these goofy statements.


Not true at all plenty of people are willing to give us opportunities. The brothers that take the opportunities get called c00ns.

I think it's both. A lot of Black men have low self-esteem and a defeated attitude, but it's due to ths constant steam of anti-Black men propaganda pumped into their heads since childhood

This!

I’ve applied to over 200 jobs the last 5 years. I have about 20 years in logistics and 7 in aviation logistics. Most of the time I don’t reach. I stay in my lane and apply to jobs I know I have the experience.

Granted many jobs have to be posted before they give it to somebody internal, but still.

Only 4 job offers. One was the post office but they will take anybody.
:heh:
I put black to check off the diversity box. I need to not disclose. My last name is Flores so I might start checking the Latino as well.
:mjpls:

Black Americans and non-immigrant Americans in general do tend to shy away from jobs and majors that involve too much math

Cause it is taught POORLY, intentionally, as a motive to keep the wealth gap extreme.

Can't wait till A.I. can solve that issue and outsource these incompetent math teachers.

You need to swallow all those pills first. Remember drink lots of water.

If you aren’t making six figures I don’t know how you’re surviving out here.

My advice to brehs who don’t want or have the means for an advanced degree.

Join a Union shop or apprenticeship asap

Learn a trade

Start your own business

Learn sales
By managing your goddamn funds and living within your means???

The shyt is not hard dawg

Myself and my own.
Yes and no. Last hired, first fired constantly will do that to some people. I've said before, you have to be a egotistical madman (like me) to really really win in this country. This is all due to racism. That said, we pay little attention to black men that do well so it skews things and even less attention that do well and sell their work to other people (still a win but we never count it as such since we only look at ownership and never what the result or purpose of that ownership was in the first place - some of us only made and owned something because we intended to sell that thing and move on to something else, like I did with my practice).

how?

it's likely gotten better over the last five to ten years but there were folks of all races and ethnicities that choose easier majors to balance school with a social life and not be like "those asians with their nose in a book 24/7 that never go to parties"

True, but a lot of those STEM grads are :snoop: because they are underdeveloped socially and just be lonely moneymakers
