Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, that black people today no longer have these high paying jobs?

CNN just reported the following:

For nearly 50 years, only Black men caddied The Masters. One day, they all but vanished

For Jariah “Jerry” Beard, caddie for 1979 Masters champion Fuzzy Zoeller, it meant he could earn as much in a day as his parents could in a week working at the city’s John P. King mill.

So here’s my question: Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, that black people today no longer have these high paying jobs?

It’s not a good thing, but the position of the black liberal to import Third Worlders, to hurt white people, has resulted in hurting blacks more.

Let’s take an example of one, a particularly arcane one, and extrapolate to every person of color across the entire nation, shall we?

I appreciate the enthusiasm but third worlders are not caddying at The Masters or taking high paying jobs away from anyone.

Black liberals are as crucial to the great replacement movement as the jews are to national politics.

Beyond the black caddy and black workers, the WASP country clubs with zero diversity bred grandchildren that have now flipped the wealthiest suburbs from red to blue.

Isn’t conformity wonderful?

Black people found better, and less strenuous, jobs working for Government.

Do you mean, “not working” for the government.

You can’t have your cake and eat it. If you want to jettison these now high paying “subservient” jobs to perpetuate the storyline that it is racist for them to be in those service jobs, then they are going to have to live with the fact that they no longer can access their high pay. Quite honestly, I don’t care about their shifting narratives to keep the “victimhood” narrative alive.

My recollection is that the players were mandated to use a caddy provided by Augusta National Golf Club, rather than bringing their own caddy. That was subsequently changed to where players could have their own caddies. This led to the majority of caddies being white, but not exclusively white. There were still black caddies, plus Hispanics, Japanese, Korean, etc.

It was reparations for white caddies.
