LAZY BLACKS??
While waiting for crew scheduling to call this morning (My day-job is flight attendant), I took the opportunity to go through the blogs I've subscribed to in my Google Reader. Now since I don't do this often, I had more than 200+ blogs to scroll through. So as I was scanning I would pause at key phrases that caught my attention. one such blog "The Truth" stated that "Bloomberg says we need more immigrants because they work harder than poor blacks."Now I doubt that Bloomberg actually said that, but you know what - I'm going to go out on a limb and say I agree. We are the only ethnic group that goes into debt to attend college (when we go) so that we can get a job with a corporation. No one ever got rich working for someone else. Therefore why do we pay for the privilege to get educated to make someone else rich?
Does that make sense?
Back in the day we owned our own vegetable markets, we were butchers, we owned our own distribution systems including trucking. We used to do Sou-sou banking to fund our entrepreneurial dreams. Unfortunately overtime we let mainstream bankers scare us into believing we would get ripped off participating in the Sou-Sou...
Funny, I think the banking fees are a rip off.
But I digress, we are too lazy to take the chance and fund our own dreams.Now maybe I'm a little to passionate about the "good ole days" but I remember it as a time when Blacks were on sure-footing and controlled their own destiny. It was a time before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when segregation prevented Blacks from participating in mainstream activity so we made our "fortune" on the "Chitlin' Circuit".
If Bloomberg says Blacks are lazy, I agree but for different reasons. He probably is longing for the day when blacks would clean his home and care for his children not I. I agree we are lazy because we refuse to do the heavy lifting to work to become self-sufficient again.
What say you?
