Are black people against learning trades?

[Tom Foolery]

I see what you saying but who's fault is that. Why is it that me as black man can analyze my options when comes to my career and other dudes can't? I grew in ghetto same as them, was affected by the same white supremacist images all over the media like them, realized the value of being black and knowing a skill etc... What makes me so special or different from them?

Whites are prominent in almost every jobs sector so it comes to no surprise too see them dominating trades and they usually have family backgrounds in it as well. And Hispanic youth aren't much smarter than black youth but are more wiser I would say. Hispanics come to this country and realize they don't have much money to go to college so they settle for the next best thing. Blacks and Hispanics are sorta in the same situation financially when comes to communities yet we seem to go for the more expensive options (college) rather than the cheapest (trade school). I blame the older black generation...

People are idiots. It's that simple. People are idiot.

The only difference is that other groups of people have created a system that guides, helps and protects their idiots. Everyone is to blame because no one is learning from the mistakes.

In Higher Learning there are stickied threads for investing, IT, and college. A thread dedicated to various trades might be a good addition as well.

My father did 23 years in prison for murder. While there he learned the trade carpentry. When he jumped, of course he couldn't find work and besides he's a ass to people, so he needed his own. He didn't get a loan to start a business. He started off in his neighborhood. Doing things for neighbors. Word of mouth spread.

I would work with him on odd jobs on the weekend or when I was unemployed. He just give me 500 for basically cleaning up and talking shyt with him.

Pops made 6 figures a year, totally on his own. No boss too answer too, got up when he wanted, charged what he deemed fair. He did all this on his own.

In carpentry you learn a little bit about every trade. Near the end pop had plugged up with a dboy who purchased homes for like 10 stacks. He then told pops to come fix it up like new. Pops would do his part then call in his electrician and hvac friends. Dboy would break pops off like 15 to 20 stacks on like 2 weeks work.

Sure, but keep in mind that most Africans leave in cities and apartments. They do not hire Carpenders, so other Africans can not do this. Trade is only for a small number of us

How do I go about getting this?

Basically experience and then you take a test.

We need an assortment of black tradesmen simple to be able to call black to do the jobs needed. Take these crackers money and stimulate us. Never know my kid may need a quick gig and he can depend on his people.

I feel like the need for black trade classes in society are not spoken about enough

Every single Mexican I know is an electrician or something, always taught by family members

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I'm a Electrician. Only a few black

I'm Union and its a selection process to get in so we know why this is.


Most people have family in the union blah blah blah.

But this is everything in life. Jay said it best

"Dominoe Dominoe. Only spot a few blacks the higher I go"

Yup

Michigan had a special program

And I know some other states do too cuz my class had us watch a video

There's also the community college route

In regards to women and I, personally, can speak on black women; not attaining a single one of those careers doesn't prohibit said man from getting the p*ssy and ejacutating in it. A lot of brehs have no incentive to want more nor care because in their hearts, they're winning.

Those women are simply settling for the best they can get. That may, indeed, be a plumber.

But, rest assured, if a doctor or lawyer were to pay her some attention, she'd curve plumber breh in a heartbeat.

They need to teach trades in high school

They do here. You can go to VoTech and learn trade while going to high school the other half of the day.

These hood hoes ain't dating no doctors

My friends uncle is welder in NYC and makes 45$/hour.

This is not typical, unless you are a master structural welder.

Most production welders make from $14-30/hr depending on what you're welding, where you are etc/

i think trades and manufacturing would set black men apart....if they learned how to be creative but yet smart with their hands....

but it takes alot of dedication and discipline, trades earn ppl lots of money, but the money has to be earned the hardway

They do...at least at my high school they did
