Dumb ass quote. People have motivation to work jobs when they are getting fairly compensated for it. This "You're not tough" shtick is tired. Will fukk your whole body up for chump change for decades, but you "tough" though. Even though they could of paid more but they got away with not doing it, at least you are tough though.
whats considered "fair"
a lot of people just arent working and would rather do nothing or scam/rob
another thing folks miss is the ability to learn a skill, take that skill and do more with it.
like Mexicans in construction
They take those skills and build up their neighborhoods...
some start businesses and then hire their own people.
it creates a snowball effect where the whole community benefits from a group learning simple skills
I remember watching a piece about jewish delis in Chicago...
the Jewish kids dont want to work in the restaurants so a lot of them are being handed down to the Mexicans that work there
the problem is the only industries black folks are heavy in is entertainment, simple security firms (most of the time they get gov contracts), barber/beauty salons and government
how do we build off that when the collective is under educated while simultaneously "too good" to work with their hands?
