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

I'll say this I'm working on a union job out here in DFW right now in Westlake. There are 70 people on site. 8 of the field hands are black and 4 of the foremans/general foreman are black. Opportunity is there, people misinterpret what @cheek100 is saying because in my 12 years in electrical work I've seen a lot of young black men(a lot of young men in general but I don't care about the rest) washout because this work does require a certain type of grit and thick skin that not everyone has or wants to have.

I've worked Union and Non-Union(came up non union and organized into the union) so I know both sides of the spectrum.
Thank u my sparky brethren. These particular ninjas mentioned have no clue what they talking about they make everything political and racist to feel smart. It takes a certain individual to make it in the trades and if u been raised by women and sitting in front of a laptop masturbating in jbo U CANT POSSIBLY understand a real job site

This was posted in that thread about people fleeing from ICE where TLR was somewhat happy to see it. Interesting yet depressing read.



















TL;DR: Black people get betrayed and shyt on if they join labor unions, and racially abused even if they don't. Construction is mostly a white boy network across the U.S. The Latino workers on these sites are most likely NOT in a union so they get paid significantly less. Only people who continue to win are white people.

Looks like every time we distract from the main issue (RACIST WHITE PEOPLE IN POWER) and try to get little "wins" elsewhere it's not really doing all that much.

Have black people ever heard of lawyers? :what:

Bruh I'm an electrician if they catch you with jewelry on they will tell you take that shyt off and put in in your car or go home and come back when you don't want to be a dumbass(in those words exactly). Besides your working around electricity, why would you want a GOLD NECKLACE OR RING ON ANYWAY?! Clearly mufukkas ain't been shocked by 277v before, shyt don't feel good bruh.

Also I've never seen anyone with any real time in the trade in Timbs. You'll catch people in Wolverines from Wally world before you see someone in Timbs.

son did I tell u the first time I got hit with 240v. When I say I had to go home and reevaluate my career, that’s exactly what I did. That shyt rewires your whole psyche. I felt that shyt in my fkn soul. I took prep and safety a whole lot different after that day.

I feel they are being purposely obtuse, just for the sake of being contrary.

tims classics don’t look like tims work boots, mix that in with the jewellery and by experience, you can just tell he not built for the trades. Some brehs adapt but most just fizzle out.

That’s like a man showing up to an office job with his Dakota shirt (the ones with the pocket by the chest) tucked into his carhardts sitting over his steel toes. It just ain’t gonna work.

I’m gonna be honest, culturally Latin people have been built up and instilled to “work hard” no matter the job. It’s like ingrained in how they live, for better or worse. Even when paid not what they’re worth

Oh that part is true as fukk, I was a member of CWA 1101 for a while, long-story short in the time since I’ve been looking for other Union jobs and they are a mother fukker.
On the flip side, I always looked at unions as being black af because my mom, grandad, and all of my uncles and aunts worked for GM and were apart of UAW. I also had a lot of cousins who worked at Teamster jobs.

It wasn't until I started researching the history of unions that I realized that a lot of the first unions and current ones that have been around since the 30s (again except UAW and Teamsters) were very racist good ole boy networks. It wasn't until the unions that were forming in the late 50s and 60s that they started being more open to black people.

You a plumber bruh, how did that happen? I thought cause I got hit by 120 before that 277 can't be that bad... BOY was I wrong. 277 will have you reevaluating your entire life choices.

I got hit by 30psi on my leg at the last job when the dumbass working on the supply line didn't check to see if the line was live or not took the union off and caused a fukking flood. That shyt hurt, they gone tell me that's not even fully pressurized it's gonna be 120psi when they turn it over I'm just like 120psi would kill somebody if it hit them square on the chest or face.

ah shyt pressurized water can fuk u up bad. A lot of people learn the hard way fkn with Home Depot.
I do plumbing and hvac I’m a master card holder in both trades I say that proudly it took a lot of hard work and years of bs. U would be hard pressed to find anyone who’s a master in both trades. I got hit with 240v (that time) working on an RTU trying to get their ac running in the dead ass summer.

This is what they fail to realize. It's racist mufukkas out here don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day even the most racist superintendent or foreman will put that shyt to the side IF YOU ARE A GOOD WORKER. Mainly because foremans and supers jobs depend on HOW PRODUCTIVE YOU ARE. I see it everyday out here. People put prejudice to the side when they paycheck depends on the mufukka next to you pulling they weight.

I be wanting to get my masters license, but jobs out here will treat you funny if you have a gold card and you working on they job. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm probably gonna go take HVAC courses here in the near future at the community college and go into the service department here since the service departments here electrical and HVAC are tied together most of the time. I just ain't trying crawl in nobodies fukking attic, I hate attics I don't even like going in my parents attic to look at shyt that's fukked up I only do it cause they my parents.

This is 100% not true whatsoever. Being from California and growing up around a ton of Latinos/hispanics, they’re some of the laziest people I’ve ever seen :mjlol:
I was just talking to someone literally this morning about where that stereotype of them being hard working comes from, because it’s certainly false. As a matter of fact, the subject was the construction of new buildings/homes and how shoddy the quality is.
Not when compared to Indians. Everybody else at least TRIES to clean up
