Meanwhile we got immigrants coming to America and finding work the same day and starting businesses and being succesful, yet Black men can't find a job.
They don’t like to show up or take orders from white bosses. I’ve seen it multiple times.
Illegals get a great start here….free housing, car, credit cards free college. Biden would never help any Americans and homeless!
@@miker5277 so you're saying the majority black men dont wanna take orders from whites? Nonsense
@@pattymorton8880 lol ..no they dont ain't nothing free you should know that..but keep making excuses why newly arrived immigrants are doing better than you.
@@pattymorton8880 He didn't say anything about illegals. He's talking about LEGAL immigrants, and he's right. Weird how people of all different races can come here and not just succeed, but flourish. It's almost like it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with what you actually put into it.
That’s the result of not building your own community as men.
Wm bombed and torched prosperous black communities.
👏
💯💯
To busy trying to have Becky build them communities. Instead of making podcast to build black men it’s white women worship.
Yup! They know it!
Just had a discussion today with a dusty relative who flat out said he doesn’t want to work for anyone then had the audacity to ask me for $1K. I told him to get a job and save $1K
😅😅😅I can be your cousin for $500. Black men want to be coddled for everything, and their a pain in the a$$ to work with. Everything hiring there's no excuse.
@EdgeTradingFX lies... you deal drugs... not good dude
SO INSTEAD OF SITTING ON MULTIPLE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, TALKINGI ABOUT EYELASHES, WEAVES, DATING NON BLK WOMEN, AND LIZZO WEIGHT...THIS IS WHAT THEY NEED TO BE DISCUSSING AND SOLVING!💯💯💯 IF BLACK MALES COULD STAY OUT OF JAIL, STOP COMMITING CRIMES AND MURDEROUS ACTS AND GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE BETTER LIFE OUTCOMES! THIS AINT NO CRISIS...THIS IS WHAT BLACK MEN WANT AND DESIRE!💯💯 AND TO BE HONEST, ANYTIME BLACK MEN GET WEALTH, THEY GIVE IT AWAY BY MARRYING NON BLACK WOMEN SO IDC WHAT HAPPENS TO BLACK MEN. HOPEFULLY THEY KEEP FALLING AND LOSING IN LIFE.💯😭😂😂
"Dusty relative" lmao.
@@alyssajones4368 Girl. Everybody knows more than than the one direction song they going down. It’s coming out. Whole article said they to blame for the wage gap between blacks and whites. If I find it again I will for sure post it
Watch they blame black women for this. ....
As usual. They blame BW, immigrants, and WM and love to claim everyone hates them. Then they try to guilt people into giving them even more job programs, more scholarships, more initiatives to help them

Let's be honest, black men just don't want to work. I personally kno a black man that refuses to work because of child support.
Couldn't he just get a job and not let child's support know about it?
@@ama3583 he could probably only get a under the table job he can’t get one that pays taxes.
Thats sick. Avoiding work to make sure your child is in poverty. Sadly majority are like this

He’s a joke.

At least for Black kangs it is!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought bm are all high value men.
U are a troll
I thought that all black men were Henry's
The victim mentality amongst black men needs to STOP.
They say it’s white supremacy
Unemployment is defined as people who want a job but a hiring manager refuses to employ the person. The unemployment gap therefore measures the racial differences in who hiring managers refuse to hire despite applications and qualifications. The unemployment gap is actually one of the best ways to measure racism. It has nothing to do with laziness or drugs. Most people just don't know what the unemployment gap measures.
They play victim with everyone !!!!!!!!
@@canwebehonest4once740 your a black women bashing black men shutup
What’s wrong with being a victim ?
Why didnt they bring up the stats on black women employment? Oh wait because that would have blown the "racism" excuse out of the water.
black men still out earn black women. this is fake news. you can't count inmates wjen it comes to employment
Lol
They look at black men as more of a threat than black women.
They hire black women because they can pay you less regardless of your education. Black men have education yet still have a harder time finding employment vs an educated Black woman
WHAT SHE SAID THEY DON'T WANT TO DO THAT
BM haven’t had a job since 1867. The last time a BM had a job, Abraham Lincoln was alive. He’s the only group of males who have been consistently unemployed for 155 consecutive years straight.
😭😭😭
💀
Well it is not are national remember that’s what they told us so why would we wanna help it.
🤣🤣🤣
This HAS to be a joke. I see black men with jobs EVERYDAY.💯
Absolutely shameful
Three reasons for unemployment :
LAZY LAZY LAZY
Not true. Hiring women over men has a large impact on unemployment for men.
@@TechWeLove all I hear is excuses. Why doesn't it effect asian, white or hispanic men.
@@eddey3052 Thats because Asian are the most likely to earn a college degree whereas Black are least likely
Why don't they talk about being a "GO GETTER" and making your dreams come true? Don't sit there and wait for a job to fall in your lap. Keep going and knock on every employer's door. Someone will eventually say YES!
@Metamorphic Crystals was that the only job you applied for? Just wondering that's happened to me before too several times. I just keep pushing.
they rather rap about bishes ain't shyt
6 months knocking 😂😂😂
And that is the problem, that means we live in a system where every block is stacked against you. If you take one wrong step you fall….nobody else live like that. People will die early from stress living like that. We have to withdraw from the system and build our own network. NOT grovel and beg
If a person doesn't pursue a dream job, that must mean one doesn't want it.
And they keep going on the oshay show insulting black women.
They’re jealous and angry that’s why !!!!
Whew....even the statistics are proving it. So embarrassing
Black women raises them. Maybe allow there fathers in there life and sustain your family.
@@KingSellassie At some point you can't blame your mother. I was raised without a father OR a mother. I was raised by the foster care system. Yet that never stop me for getting a job. Also other races of men are raised by single mothers and they dont use this excuse
@@KingSellassie Catch a clue. Even the Moynihan Report that they love to cite has documented that black men are DESERTERS. This is the reason that their WIVES had to begin going on welfare.
@@KingSellassie dads can file for custody. 😂😂😂 only 15% of black men petition the court for custody versus 35 % white men. 😂😂😂😂
@@PettyLabelle because they know it’s pointless. 95% of the time they reward for the destruction of their family. It’s pointless to petition.
How is considerable discrimination, discouragement and no job availability affecting the men but not the women?
They don’t wanna hear that though….
@@veronicajata3121 idk what hood u from sis- my dad was there- self made- still rocking- im self made and still rocking- and i came home every day for my only daughter until her momma acted a fool bc its easier to get assistance- yall blk woman talk about coming up but dont mention support and benefits and cash assistance and programs etc...every bro i know with kids- same exact issue- shes entitled bc someone bust one in her- sorry no
@@WordThought Live apart and then financially support your kid. If the mother felt like welfare was a better option than a high earning and respectable man, then the problem started with you because you are not those things.
@@WordThought Shouldve chose better. That's what you tell black women.
@@veronicajata3121 no its bc i signed a certificated instrument that is used against me regardless of how good of a dad and how much funds spent...its all good universe works things out....bb dad number 3...was trying to be the positive change thats needed for kids that werent mine etc etc.
maybe if they spend less time on youtube or in front of liquor stores….
In front of gas stations, bus stops, street corners trying to make eye contact with bw to feel sorry for them so they can come up off her and live a soft life and trap her with a. Any he won’t support or raise
Yea black men should wait for the government to give them jobs....sounds like the perfect solution to me 🙄🙄
Isn't that the most advices black mothers give. But y'all motivate me to crush this empire you suck on so much.
@@superafrikanmedialabs8237 Another black man blaming women instead of looking in the mirror. Your father didn't teach you to be a man. That is no reason to blame your mother. She can't teach you something she knows nothing about!!! Black men will never succeed if you expect women to tell you how to be men.
Excuse Excuse, Black women are doing better and better every year, passing up the black man faster and faster, its the culture the mindset not racism. When the black ppl in power constantly tell you everyone is a racist everyone hates you anything shortcomings you have you're gonna chalk it up to racism , even if its racism you need to look at yourself first always.
Yeah for some reason In my family the men are doing a lot worse then the females. My brother is living off of his girlfriend and he has no job while my older sister went to college and is a nurse but is applying for something bigger right now. My mom is also the only one paying the bills right now, my dad used to in the past but he isn’t now and that is also the case for alot of my cousins
💯💯💯
Yet black men still make more than black women
They think everything is owed to them because they're "blek Kangz"🙄
BLK WOMEN DEAL WITH RACISM AND SEXISM, WE ARE THE ONLY GROUP THAT DEAL WITH BOTH AND CAN STILL GET OUT HERE AND BE SELF SUFFICIENT.... BLK MEN ARE LAZY AND WHEN THEY GET A JOB THEY QUIT AFTER A FEW PAY CHECKS....EVERYONE IN AMERICAN CAN'T BE TELLING THE SAME LIE ABOUT BLK MEN....
Oh my gosh stop making excuses. Stop killing each other and do business together
You right, the government should stop making excuses, give us our reparations so we don't continue to be disproportionately set back by generational suppression. You are right, let's end it by sending letters of concern to congress... oh wait.....

@@charlesleeray8512 they do too. But Mexicans are more likely to work than any other race.
@Brenan Pinchot their excuse is the same as black men that don't want to work. They don't want to work. Pretty simple answer for such an ignorant question.
@Brenan Pinchot because they like to work for cheap. That's how much they love working.
Black men been complaining for over 400 years and still in the same predicament.
Have you guys seen this long line of black men earnestly looking for jobs?
Selling fentanyl to young white kids is more profitable 🤷🏻♂️
@@miker5277 I would imagine so. I'd consider that working personally. They should add drug dealers to the statistics for a more accurate reading.
@@sol5916 well it's always good to know that racism is alive n well in America n your comment just proved that. Maybe that's why black men are having such a hard time finding a job.
@@derricknregina it’s not racism it’s laziness and excuses when it comes to black man.
@@derricknregina It's not racism. It's just a statistic reality. The problem with the term "racism" is that it universally applies to any negative comment on any group's behavior. Pointing out black crime statistics is "racist" because it portrays them in a negative light. This is largely why we are unable to push any policies to ACTUALLY improve black communities. Any move to do so would require first an acknowledgement that something is wrong. But since even step 1 is blocked by the racism shield, we cannot ever help or improve minority communities.
Anyone who wants a job right now can get a job. Let's stop lying to ourselves
sure you can but I do understand where college grads coming from. I have a BA in public health and IT degree and I don't have a job in either field. But I do have 2 good jobs I did not let this stop me.
Lot of hostility and undermining and disrespect on that job.
@@Oracleofcrows that is the typical black person’s experience unless most of the time you have normal and slightly caring co workers. Other than that the deal is we need to work and make money.

Is their fault! A lot of black men standing by idle while Hispanics and Latinos walk into their neighborhoods daily to build new apartments, townhomes, etc.
They forced us out
11 Million job openings.
Lol I know. Oh boo hoo me black. 😜
Jobs are a path to careers. Too many of my people feel that most jobs are beneath them and would rather sit on the sidelines. Won’t crawl before they walk. This is more about black culture norms than racism. As a black man, am I racist if I interview you and notice a poor demeanor, tattoos, criminal record or some crazy hair? You can get a lot of jobs with all those flaws, but that’s your ceiling. That’s self-inflicted, not racism. Everyone must start with a job and learn rules, expectations and protocols so that when a career comes available you’re a suitable hire. Miss me with the racism BS when far too many of us simply won’t eliminate ourselves from the workforce for the same reason we have a limited dating pool. Stop blaming racism when it’s personal accountability!!!
You are trying civilize black men who are POWs of a war projected on them for centuries. You may have had a good opportunity finding your footing in this world, but some of us did get affected by the systematic racism that you claim is false. Don't know if your black or white, don't matter neither. But I would hope if you are black, don't point fingers at other black men and boys and claim you know their plight when your still just one man and can only speak for yourself
POW’s? 🤣 Next you’ll say that people born and raised in the ghettos are POW’s. If you are industrious in the least you can thrive. Only the feeble and the lazy STILL blame their misfortunes on others. Who cares what system is in place, go around it. I know many underemployed and poor black people who, when you peel back the onion, were and continue to be in their own way. No white person have ever blocked me from success. Sure, some may have wanted to, but it doesn’t work on free-thinking, motivated people. Stop blaming white people for generations of single motherhood, poverty, criminal activity, gang violence and intellectual laziness. I’ll make it as simple as this: I bought stocks of the company I work for with my stimulus checks. How’s that for the white man holding me back, Mr. Weed???
@@kinglexicon3924 yes, POW. War on Drugs, War on Terror, War against proverty and etc. All these "Wars" that affect my community. If you can't relate to being oppressed by systematic mechanisms, then maybe you were lucky enough to just look Black and not be treated as such. But for the record, Racism for the benefit of holding people like me back does exist. Your one way boxed perception sounds good to a white person ( you know the whole strap your boots saying ), but to us who really feel and live thru actual racism here in America can attest to the evils involved. Maybe your so motivated that your motivation makes you light skinned??? Last time I checked, doesn't matter how successful you are, your still a black man here in America.
I agree with this
Back in 50 and 60 we wore suit tie and we still were dnied jobs business destroyed what do you say to those people stop spewing ignornace
I've told myself time and time again,you don't look for a job,you go out and make money. As a young man I did the paycheck thing. Becoming an entrepreneur became the best move I've made.

Everyone isn’t interested in entrepreneurship tho. Some people just want to clock in and clock out. There’s nothing wrong with either
@@Jazzmynnnn people like you end up beaten down and broke in old age. Why is this so hard to understand? Clocking into a job, you're making money for someone else. The same energy can be used to benefit you and your family for years to come. Keep working for a company worth Billions and you never see 100k a year.

It’s time to change black culture. We can lie to ourselves that there’s nothing we can do on our own to succeed in America, but even if there were widespread discrimination, I believe we could succeed despite unequal footing

There is a growing shortage of welders in America. Many companies can not fill these positions. The industry I retired from would take someone who knew nothing and train him to become a certified welder. All it takes is willing hands and mind to work. Blackman I believe in you, go for it.

But they work hard, most times for less! They will work 7 days a week if need be. Why don’t Black men create their own jobs!

Also, the blk men don't put money into the cummunity...jobs will give them a job if they fill out a job application, they don't want to work.
Pants sagging, tattoos on faces, in corporate America back stabbing, hating on the ones who have businesses to take them down, this clowning has got us here!
WHAT DO WE EXPECT ???
1. CAN YOU COMMUNICATE CLEARLY?
2. DO YOU DRESS IN THE MAINSTREAM?
3. WERE RAISED BY A POORLY EDUCATED SINGLE PARENT?
4. DID YOU GROW UP IN A ZIP CODE WHERE YOU SAW VIOLENT FELONIES COMMITTED SO MUCH THAT IT DOESN'T SHOCK YOU?
5. WERE YOU RAISED TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST AND COMMIT TO A CAREER OR WERE YOU RAISED TO GO GET MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOTHER?
6. DID YOUR PEER GROUP GLAMORIZE MAKING HAVING AS MUCH SEX AS POSSIBLE WITH AS MANY PARTNERS?
7. DID YOUR PEER GROUP SHAME OR BEAT UP NERDS?
THEY SHOULD HAVE LET ME ASK THE DAMN QUESTIONS.
WHY BLAME IT ON THE GOVERNMENT?
There white felons s that get job eaisly compared to non black felons explain that
Sounds like a lack of a father at home problem. Go find your daddy who intentionally abandoned you and stop blaming your mother who actually stayed and helped you the best she could. 🙄
@@Enlighten_825 More like relied on her son-Husband. Because she failed to find a producer!!!!
@@superafrikanmedialabs8237 Most are not producers. Most impregnate and leave. The mother should have dated out to find a suitable partner. Nevertheless, accountability fails on the male who leaves, not the woman who stayed and tried. Many males within the community are allergic to responsibility and accountability. You don't get a pass for abandoning your family.
There's a definite number of people who will fail this test. So when the economy is good, the unemployment rate gap should narrow significantly. Instead, the unemployment gap by race has generally remained consistent for nearly 100 years. The consistency of the gap is a reflection of the fact that a core percentage of hiring managers over the past century will only hire a limited number of black men vs white men, even during the good times when money is flowing and is more accessible in the economy. The unemployment gap is perhaps one of the best measurements of racism.
Answer is be responsible.
shhh, thats too much to ask. Just blame racism and the media will parrot it to eternity

Yes she was...they are lazy and full of excuses
Yep
It’s the low achievement gap. Brothas barely graduate high school, and most don’t go to college…and they resent the sistas that do. And then wonder why we don’t want them. Who wants a man with no job or money? Please. Black men need to stand up and get their s* together.
This is how I see it too. We know there is discrimination. Black women face it too...doubly! Women however, ask "What CAN I do?" Then, they invest in themselves through education which is a risk. A risk many Black men aren't willing to take. Invest in real estate, stocks, work together on business etc. These are all things that are risks that women are willing to take and most Black men just see debt. They cant see the forest for the trees. They cant see that standing still in this economy is actually pulling you backwards. We are all dealt the same deck of cards, but only the women are in the game playing whatever hand they are dealt.
There are some socioeconomical and educational issues as well. Coming from low income neighborhoods, family troubles with law/crime and not participating in school taking classes seriously plagues many black man as well. It's unfortunate to say, but institutional racism is not the sole reason behind mishaps for black men in our country. Culture is apart of it too. Like they said in the video. Incarceration is a problem and when black men see others going that route. They don't have good family members and educational opportunities around them. Culturally that's what they know. But things can always change for the better. It won't be fixed over night though.
@@matthewperez555 very well said.
It’s done on purpose. Black men know. Black men don’t care anymore. Start your own business
50 billion dollars is a lot of money on a group of men that could be used elsewhere. Disappointing
As a black man, I can understand what they're feeling. But I do have a job. It's not glamorous but it makes a path for my family.
For a ton of black men getting an average job is easy, some guys don't want to take an average job (McDonald's, grocery store, or warehouse) by society's standards it's considered less. Or the classic issues is, mo money, mo problems. They've come to a level of comfort and if they make more money they'll have to spend it.
they should go get a ww were done case closed
I heard from a man in my neighborhood thats gotta be about 75-80 yrs old and he told me in his day a regular job would get you a home,car and the ability to take care of your family. Todays regular jobs just won’t get you the same quality of life.
@@ShoppinBagLoso very true. They actually retired from companies with pensions and excellent benefits. They were able to build wealth slow and steady, that's why the boomers and silent generation hold over 65% of the money in the USA. They have cash!

It’s extremely difficult to find a well paying job as a black man, even if you are college educated and qualified. I’d love to see how well the some of the non black ppl in this comment section would do in life if they had to exist as as black man in a racist country.
It’s not like there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OPEN JOBS🤣
Black men don't want to work.
There aren't. I've seen so many people of ALL backgrounds apply for open jobs and NO ONE gets it. Then you see the same jobs being posted all over again.
@Frank Lopez No. In Miami there are many job POSTINGS. (And, to be ,learn, we're not talking about McDonald's or Wendy's jobs.)

Sad because even when you do become employed, as a black man to fit in many jobs being a black man you have to shrink yourself!
You tend to change how you talk walk & mannerisms lusting acceptance just to be still called a good boy or hit with Lil racial undertones that seems like you have to live with since h. r. Doesn't address and handle reported situations they think staying away after you address gone fix it. My 26 years of employment have been a true test of my responsibility to provide for my family.
But until diversity is pushed the black male will continue to be lost in the workforce because of the perception of the black man in America with no treatment.
We all have to do things we don't like just to have some form of independence.
Because you’re too lazy to build your own system

Its weird how white people come on a page to talk specifically about black people when white people as a whole are like the weakest link, u only have money not even power itself so let that sink in, OBAMA was your president and u had to eat it

Its so embarassing. Not once did he say what CAN be done. We all see how Black women move. They take the discrimination and figure out how to get around it. Men can enroll in the same school and programs as women. Men can invest in homes, start business and work together the same as women. Its all these excuses. Work more than one job id you have to, but just not working at all and waiting on women (while blaming them) is not the answer
I'm black with a QUALITY education and excellent work experience. I launched my own business this year because I'm sick of the SYSTEMATIC RACIST BS that people in the comments don't want to admit. How can I walk into the same interview with a white counterpart with the same qualifications and experience, but they'll be offered 30% HIGHER pay than me? This is my lived experience (meaning this HAPPENED to me).
Please explain to me how that is okay!
It's not ok 😔
What did you do to fight back?
The point is that you want white acceptance instead of creating your own lane so that you don’t have to ask white people for jobs. They are not obligated to accept you. Accept yourself!
@@DOLCEKAYEXOTICAL he said he started his own business
