Why would anyone give a black teen a job???
I overheard two black teens at the unemployment center. One had a set of “grills.” They were both clean and combed...however...they were holding up oversized pants with one hand; with several inches of visible underwear. They each had a huge plastic comb sticking out of their otherwise neat hair. Both had visible tattoos, but none on their faces. One said, “I don’t understand it, I’ve been everywhere and nobody will hire me.” The other agreed that he too had applied everywhere. I wanted to walk them to the mirror and describe what a business owner saw. Why would you hire somebody who slouched and had to constantly use one hand to hold up their pants? They may have been stylishly dressed for their peer group, but not for the work world.
“Its shocking that 58% of black teenagers have jobs.”
I take it to mean that 58% of black teens that want jobs have them.
Meanwhile morons want a 15 dollar minimum wage at fast food places...
Here in Overland Park all the fast food joints are staffed with really nice black teens.
In my area they are almost exclusively Hispanic; in western Jersey they’re white.
Honestly, I don’t get it. I came from a large poor irish family and never ever had a problem either finding work or making money. I worked most of my life in those ghetto infested neighborhoods and personally I still don’t get it.
When I was young you could always make money even in a poor neighborhood. There always were things to do. You could cut grass, shovel snow, clean gutters, carry bags home for old ladies. As you got older you could go to the free library and read and educate yourself doing plumbing, electrical HVAC, home appliance repair. Every single house in every neighborhood needs these home repairs.
I just don’t get it. It’s so easy to make legal money vs selling drugs and stick-ups which jeopardizes your freedom.
carl rowen, a black LIB columnist years ago for the Washington Pest wrote an editorial piece titled “Acting White” that talked of this. He was heavily criticized for that column. (rowan was in the news for drawing a pistol at night in his yard near his pool to scare off intruders using his pool in WDC)
Obama is the example of how you can slither through the system and get rich using other people’s money and not returning it when your done.
Work is for suckers.
