This. Folks acting like Black men from that generation had tons of opportunities available to them as far as careers were concerned.
He had a lot more opportunities 40 years ago, especially with the GI Bill, which I suspect he never touched.
He's the same age as my grandmother, who retired in '88 and a few younger than my grandfather, who retired in '86.
shyt, he was already in the military, even with the fukkery he could have retired decades ago off in the service.
some of ya brehs ignorant for clowning on the old breh for keeping the same job for 70 years and for working at a warehouse. Dude was born in the year of 1929 , 37 years before the segregation ended. back then it was hard for your average brehs and brehettes to progress and get a good paying job before 1965 and years after that.
the old breh done shyt that many of us wouldn't or didn't do. fought and survive a war and keep a job for 7 fricken decades.
and i bet his pension is fat as fukk. he should retire and enjoy the rest of his life chilling and travelling.
He should have retired and enjoyed his life decades ago.
He's one of the most solid examples of pure labour exploitation I've seen in quite some time.
Its also been 53 years since '65, his options haven't been closed since then.
