“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”

[Shadow King]

Obviously I agree with him…..I dapped him, the general consensus of the post is correct

You can also dap a post and not agree with every single word or statement

If you read every single word to not agree with all of them, you know he attempted to mock anyone saying 70K isn't a lot.

I dont knock the next man, not my fukking business

Have 2 older cousins who’s good with being a electrician and construction worker.. both make good money, no debt , no kids, but married.. but they content with their jobs..

You got it bruh

 

[Elim Garak]

I don't think that's true. I realize that some people are like this but I don't agree with the generalization.

 

[Shadow King]

You got it bruh

Nope... don't do this...talk your talk...

You dapped breh saying 70K is "great and above average", and "if 70K isn't a lot you don't know how to handle money". Same sentiment.

Pointless conversation to have online. The average salary in Boston is $80k (continuously increasing), that’s not including the inherent wealth from non-black folks, opportunities missed out due to racism. $80k/annually isn’t enough for a black man with at least 15 years of experience.
The goal is to earn more (even better if one can do that while working less).

The money management BS talking is exactly what conservatives says when we people demand more.

A lot of negative-conditioning in this thread:
Average is good enough.
$xx,000 is enough for ____.
_ is average, so _ is sufficient.
It’s enough, manage your money better.

Like I said no different than body positivity, participation trophy rhetoric.

It keeps people at a subservient state, working till they die, not aspiring for more/easier.

Truth be told some of those individual contributor roles at a corporate level pay more, while working less.

These nikkas got their company-man, conservative talking points on deck smh

 

[BlackJesus]

Stop with the bootstraps BS. It never worked on a large scale.

Its HOW the education is taught is the problem. We need A.I. to come in and change the paradigm of this outdated school system. On top of having unions in every damn profession and regulating these shareholders.

I didn’t say nothing about no bootstraps nikka. I said we don’t need more useless nikkas who are all talk

 

[Savvir]

People need to start posting sources of the data that they use to make claims. A lot of the problem is that everybody has an opinion they feel is valid without spending any time researching their opinions to make sure they are valid.

 

[DaHNIC82]

And people wonder why Corporations stay fukking over its citizens.. It's because of blanket statements like this.. We're so divided it's shameful

That's there, but a lot of brehs have this mentality based on frugality and thinking most people are excessive.

I think there's a degree of truth. Coming up I didn't understand the money men my age would spend on wardrobe. Now, I do in fact "understand", but I don't believe I'm in position to responsibly participate.

I think there's too many German cars on the streets and highways where I am. I know how people are getting in them, but I also know if they missed 2 months of work they'd be shytting bricks.

I made 6 figures last year and staying at home, I could've shot for a new 540 (my credit was bad so likely not), but I did a 2 year old Honda truck. Instead of jumping out the crib, I stayed. Glad I did because in 2023 the workload has been cut half for me vs 2022 so I didn't put 2-2.5K over my head while scraping 60K.

All that is to say I get living within your means. But after a certain point, if you're practicing a certain degree of frugality, or a certain length of time doing it, you don't make enough. The American average falls right in line with financial struggle. Saying you're just above financial struggle means baseline survival.

The main ones downing that man probably don't even have $1,000 liquid let alone $10,000, I have more than that in cash btw incase someone comes in and tries to call me broke

[Roger king]

They love to promote these dumb and anti black men narratives. There is dignity in all type of work, even if you picking up garbage, you earning a living honestly and putting in the effort to it

What the fukk does it mean to dress ghetto at a job?

Someone's offended....

Dress hood at work and you won't be looked at for any promotions...

Dress hood for a job interview (baggy dress shirt with jeans and some jordans or tims...that look) you won't be taken seriously

Dress hood when meeting new people and people wont vouch for you, you don't know what position those peoples have in their career

If you don't like to hear the truth then don't listen.

Also to give some validation to my advice...I'm a DEI ambassador for a fortunate 50 company. One of my roles is to find talent with the focus on diversity.....you think I'm recommending and putting my name behind someone that dresses hood with tats on his neck to the corporate team

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

People are such a$$holes. First fools claim that Black men don't work or only want to be athletes, rappers and actors. When that is proven to be a lie then fools claim that Black men are just too regular and only work certain jobs and don't aspire to certain other positions, occupations or entrepreneurship. That is also a lie. So next they will say that Black men don’t do some other dumb shyt.

What do you think of the state of blk men? Are we performing perfectly fine even though we’re at the bottom?
