“. Girl, do you know the wage gap between Black women and white women? According to the Guardian, in 2016 Black women earn 19% less than white woman, that’s a 13% increase in the wage gap from 1979 – that’s right. It’s getting worse.”
Well, when some twit decides to drop out of school, have infants they can’t afford or raise, go on welfare and spend the rest of their life moaning about it, so? That gets factored in the income figure. No schooling, nothing more than minimum wage.
My pity doesn’t go that far, nor it does stand for any girl of ANY color who takes the short road.
I’ve worked with black women, and black supervisors and the work place was fine. Everyone was competent, did their jobs, and by the end of the day, went home and took care of business. We had disagreements over procedures, maybe a tiff or two when someone slacked off, or a bitch fest occasionally. It was a work place, for Pete’s sake!
What is was not, was a hotbed of liberal goop or people looking to be offended.
What we had to deal with was difficult and many time, emotionally wrenching. Not a place for hot house flowers who looked for slights.
I have worked with some really competent and really hard working black women and they ended up earning a lot more because they were competent and good workers!
The thing about statistics is that everyone is averaged, and there is a significant portion of the black culture in general that doesn’t value hard work and education and sees it as “selling out” this drags down the averages for the hard workers.
