There are more reasons not to work than there are to work.

Men 
The guy that knocked up my cousin is 27. He plays all day and smokes. He doesn't drive because he got "traumatized" while learning how to drive years ago after a collision.
He aspires to be a Twitch streamer. I think he graduated HS not sure. He doesn't do shyt.
My gfs brother is a son husband and is online constantly. Smart but all he does is play dungeons and dragons and shyt. 27 too.
My young cousin is 31 and has a decent co parenting setup with his baby moms. He works 60+ hours as a cook but could be earning more and have benefits. Tried HVAC but realized he was afraid of closed spaces. Also did on off catering but that only brings in so much
I hate that these young boys are failing to launch.

Watching that video, I noticed three major things:
1. It ignores that main driver of U.S. deindustrialization - which was large companies colluding and taking their jobs overseas to exploit cheaper labor abroad - they touched on it, but did not put the blame squarely where it belonged: the titans of industry.
2. I think there should be much more research into the unhealthy group of men who aren't working: it is easily dismissed, but nearly all of the perpetually unemployed men I know (only a few) are dealing with fairly serious mental health issues - bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD.
3. Para-employment like Uber, Lyft, grocery and food delivery as well as illicit activity - drug sales and scamming - are one of the ways that a chunk of these unemployed men are able to maintain some income.
Also: the man speaking in the video, is from the American Enterprise Institute - a right-wing think tank - much of what he has to say (which includes an attack on disability benefits) is purely ideological

I don't think traditional blue collar work is looked down upon.
And neither social media and reality television had anything to do with deindustrialization. It was pure corporate greed. They wanted to exploit people in Asia, Latin America, and Africa for pennies on the dollar.
Yeah, I don't think this is true or has much to do with the issue.
Entrepreneurship is not the solution for most, the average entrepreneur isn't earning enough to maintain, and the time, effort, and skill it takes to produce or sell a product, and maintain healthy books - is much higher than working a regular 9-5 job.
I wouldn't say its that extreme, or that much of an issue - and that's across most professions.
I definitely wouldn't say there's a grand conspiracy with Black women and white people to keep the corporate Black man down.
The vast majority of Black men I know in corporate have no issue at all. The only one I know that did would say all kinds of nut shyt in the halls and meetings, and get surprised when he'd get reprimanded.
