He's a product of they system.... 
No need for insults
No need for insultsthis shyt is disgusting on multiple levels
Ray Walker said he’s asked Loggan about advancing but “Loggan doesn’t want anything else — he’s said he’s fine where he is.” He said, “I think he views this as a place where he knows people, he’s safe and comfortable.” He said Loggan “was the complete opposite of a Black Panther kind of guy,” never an advocate or rabble rouser. He said that limited schooling “probably helped smooth out his world — I would doubt Loggan really ever dreamed about buying a Cadillac.”
“He could retire now,” said Javon Chambers, his grandson, himself a Walker Bros. busser for 15 years
It’s hard not to notice the social gulf between customers and staff in a place like Walker Bros. Not that any of this is unique, of course. The optics are just a bit more evident: The staff is black and Latino, wearing old timey diner hats, serving comfort food to mostly white, affluent, well-educated North Shore families, the dining rooms wrapped in polished wood and stained glass more common a half century ago. That said, it’s also not uncommon to see customers giving bear hugs to beloved bussers and servers. It’s a warm community hub, a fixture of the local culture
Sadly as a black person who was born and raised on the North Side of Chicago (lincoln park and Gold Coast) the shyt is common and has gotten worse over the last 20 years.
Also I will not knock the brotha Othea Loggan for his job or hard work. See many older black folks (my grandmother included) worked labor jobs, serving white folks. In order to support their family, put their kids in school and send their grand kids to college.
I will be damned if I shyt on a hard working elderly black man cause he got a labor job. Especilly when my own grandmother was a maid and her sisters (my aunts who the story of the help is based on in greenville Mississippi). shyt my aunts cleaned white folks houses so they could send their kids to places like Jackson St and Miss Valley to get degrees.
Even my wifes grandfather worked multiple jobs cleaning up for white folks so he could feed his family and chip in to send his grand kids to college.
So all in all I ain't gonna disrepect brotha Othea. But I will salute him for busting his ass to take care of his kids and grand kids.

All this
This dude commutes all the way from Brainerd on the South Side to the North Shore on $14/hr. Hustling backwards. Don’t feel sorry for him.
If he wanted to be a busser that bad at a famous restaurant he could have worked at Pearl’s Place or some shyt and been around black folks on the South Side. If he wanted to be around affluent white folks, he could’ve gotten a job in Beverly Hills, five minutes away from his neighborhood.

Truth
And he busing tables so not tip even
He gets a tip. The waitresses and waiters split the tips with the bus boys.
a lot of you nikkas in here have Wilmette connects. I've never been there and dont know any black ppl who have.

Exactly why hate a black man in his 70s who probably left the south during the great migration. To come up north for a better life and to support a family.
Brotha probably doesn't even have a high school education and knowing many black folks history in the North and especially from chicago. I bet he came from places like Alabama, Mississippi or Tennessee and came from a schare cropping family.

"nikkas," were jamming the proverbial doors of this thread to shyt on an old black man. These Coli gimmicks have sullied the term militant so much.
Also trust this dude works in North Shore he makes hell of loot on tips.
Trust folks make a lot of money here in Chicago as waiters and waitreses and bus boys. Especially in these affluent neighborhoods.
Even as a kid my first job I worked at a local grocery store. We would make deliveries in Lincoln Park and on the gold coast. These yuppies would tip like crazy.
It wasn't shyt for me to make 60 to 100 bucks in tips in a 3 to 4 hour work day on the weekends. And that was the left over tips I was getting after the driver was paid (who was doing most if the work cause he was an adult).

Bought my girl a Chanel bag, and she left me still
Some of these old people have low expectations. My mom suggested for me that learning a trade doesn't pay well. But try to be manager for McDonald's,work at In & out for $12 or try to be a school cafeteria manager which pays $139 a day for elementary and $168 for secondary schools(middle schools & high schools)
