Black people in the trades like construction. Latinos losing = Black people winning?

My grades were too good in school for me to ever consider doing trades/blue collar work. But, this line of work is the best option for brothers who are felons or have GEDs. I know two brothers who have GEDs that have their own business in the blue collar trades field making 100k+ a year

Nepotism is more common in construction than anywhere else. Cut funding to Public schools trade courses disappeared. Offer trade courses at Community, cut the funding. Y’all been knew the pattern tho.

This is where most of the nepotism & MAGA are . The trades do not want black men in America

I mean it’s true. And that could 1000% be a detriment

White people take advantage of the manual labor of cheap Latin workers in this country consistently without much complaint. That’s to a detriment cause they will never get out of poverty not matter how “hard” they work

Yes they can, and they do get out of poverty. Just look at the wealth disparity between Hispanics and us. Their cultural advantage isnt the fact that they "work hard" .


Culturally, The reason they can survive in these shyt jobs is because of their group dynamics. That's the one advantage they have against black people . We see a job that won't allow us to pay rent or a mortgage; while they see a job that'll allow them to happily pay 1/6th of a mortgage between them and their coworkers . Such an arrangement is unthinkable to every single black person in America, let alone white people.

Just on my street, I see this dynamic at play. All the houses on the street are two or three bedroom houses ranging from 400,000 to $600,000. Between me and all of my fellow American neighbors There are no more than three working adults in any house. But do you know what I see when I look at the two Hispanic houses on the street? 7 working adults in one house and 6 in another.


And this is how they build wealth. I could have the exact same job as any of those Hispanics, but they will always have more left over than me because of how they subdivide their costs. I've seen them do the exact same thing with cars too. So because of their cultural group dynamics, the Hispanic threshold for a job being unprofitable is much lower than for an American.

My cousin was an ex Blood she was always very smart but she got into real trouble out in NJ. She moved to TN to go to trade school out there and became an electrician in her early 20s and it's insane how much she turned her life around. She has a house out in Nashville is married and she has a lil office with employees and all.

I used to outwork all model minorities in manual labor. Got fukked over, micromanaged, treated like a child, even though everyone was trying to poach me to come work for them even though I’ve saved the day multiple times. Non black people are allowed to break things, and be unreliable. They can leave you stranded and you have to do their work. You get no thanks for saving the day at the cost of your body. They laugh with eachother about it. Your boss will laugh with them about it and they’ll go out for drinks and hang with eachother after fukking up. I quit and my boss used to beg for me back and ask me for advice on handling employees. 12 hour shifts of destroying my body and then going to the gym on most days. walked away with no injuries after 5 years.

I’m not a “real nikka”. Or a “thorough” nikka. Or a “hard nikka”(pause). I had a good life, good parents, developed a crazy work ethic cause of that job. It made me always ready to move and hustle, every other job after that made me see everyone as slow. Everyone told me to slow down when I’m ready to go so they can milk clients.

Don’t listen to some of these nikkas talking about brothers negatively. It’s like when people say “they won’t fukk with you over here” but it’s black people living there being accepted, they neighbors love them, the speak the language and actually hangout, do business, are involved in community roles, etc. That particular type of nikka just wants less competition

Some nikkas are gatekeeping things themselves by instilling learned helplessness(please google what this is) or banal platitudes. Stop the ‘King nikka’ shyt, you’re not gonna be the ‘One nikka that survives it all’

Y’all can do anything if you try. Once you break the model minority myth and see through other black people trying to be King nikka/HNIC/The One, the world opens up.
