half of Chicago young black males are unemployed

[Bonk]

just starting union labor jobs are 25 dollars a hour. thats a thousand a week not counting overtime

anything skilled starts around $32-35


the trick is getting young brehs in line for the jobs

because someone is getting those jobs

That's the best thing to do. But that fast criminal lifestyle is the devil.

A lot of young people don't understand the pride that comes with labor and leading a legit life where you don't have to watch your back all the time. And also why it's always better to build incrementally than chasing that fast life. I'm sure most of them are also unemployable because of what they've been exposed to from a very young age.

Does the honorable minister Louis F have any internships available for young brothers to learn skills that would make them more marketable for jobs in Chicago?

 

[JLova]

The people who pull out businesses and refuse to hire black men (yeah, I said it) aren't to blame?

A lot of blame to go around. People like to identify the symptom but not the disease.

Folks can say i'm c00nin for keep shyt huunnid but everything is shyt I seen & know as a young nikka..
I remember being in highschool joining internships, summer jobs, job training it being be 40 students in the beginning but bout time that next week, half of the nikkas is missing

I tell mfs all the time my graduation class suppose to have over 30+ males when graduation came around, only 3 of us was left

Me working at Walgreens & Lowes, nikkas coming to the job interview bogus, not showing up, just a bunch of fuk shyt...

I can literally write a book off the them experiences alone...

So not gentrification, factory jobs and companies moving overseas and to the south for cheaper labor rates and no unions, chicago now being a service sector industry, busineses in chicago only hiring folks part time, older folks being shut out of jobs so they have to take minimum wage jobs that young folks usually get and a large wage gap are all these parents fault?

Thats not even mentioning that the state of illinois been broke for decades, closing schools in chicago, funding for after school programs and trade schools has drastically been cut over the last 25 years.

As a person born and raised in chicago trust it aint the parents for the reason for unemployment. Even educated black folks from well to do parents have trouble getting hired in that city.

So it’s everyone else fault huh

 

[Luken]

do those unemployed nikkas actually wanna work though? i remember someone posting a chiraq video where nikkas were clowning nikkas with jobs

People blaming the system, but not realizing post slavery until 1960, Black people as a whole was the most employed in the US

Not until Welfare and Single motherhood started to happen

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Kats have no idea how segregated and racist the city is. Then as the employment market has shrunk the pie is smaller whites hold on even tighter to those positions. But even non black folks and educated folks have issues finding work in chicago.

I know educated folks that have been laid off and and it took them 2 years to find a job. I know non black kats who graduated with good degrees and can't find work.

One young brotha I was mentoring dipped out of Chicago and is doing well. I told him when he was getting out of college to find the first thing smoking. Cause he would graduate with that paper and have no job or a low paying job looking for years to get on somewhere else.

Told kat to go to NESB and see what they were talking about. Dude went to the NSBE confetence and ended up getting an offer to kansas making good money. I was like take that shyt and in 1 year you will have the experience then you can bounce or come back if you like.

Homie took that job and 2 years later dude makes 6 figures. Just like that. He was thanking me last week just for the advice cause half his class he graduated with in chicago still can't find a job (most are white, asian and indian) or got some real low paying job.

But hey his classmates were stuck on not leaving and staying in chicago instead of using that education to better themselves.

my mother told me the same thing smh i'm down to move i just dont wanna move to a trash ass state like Oklahoma word to @The Wave

gonna hit the nsbe conference HARD next year no funny shyt

Nah. Post-slavery employment for Black people fluctuated greatly, and the Great Migration shifted a lot of the employment as well. “Welfare” started soon after the Depression, and “single motherhood”
() is not a phenomenon connected to employment.

their parents failed them.

The parents had no plan for them anyway. They just had them just to have them.

I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't just have kids just to have them.

Me too but nikkas swear by the idea that "we gotta get our numbers up"

 

[mamba]

Parents should not bring forth children until they have a solution, otherwise, they're literally setting their offspring up for failure.

Yup. What's the nation mission for the children we're producing?

Or, are we just producing just to produce?

producing just to produce with the idea that "at least some of them will turn out alright".

We wouldn't run a business like that but we don't mind running our nation that way.

Bro, you're proving you have no idea the distract changes in capital that have happened in this country.

Really? The 1960's? Like when gas was 42 cents?

Government programs are the reason black people, as a whole, don't all populate shanty towns in the South.

We live this lie that black people were okay after slavery ended and lived in ebony bliss until integration, away from the gov't interference.

I don't even know where to start if you really think that public programs are the reason for this situation in Chicago.

Go look up 'White Flight in Illinois'.

Or watch this

I'd rather have a community of high-quality individuals who are focused on their roles in terms of furthering the nation as opposed to a bunch of worthless as people taking up space.

A lot of people are just taking up space and are not adding value to the community.
