It's true.
A long time ago I ran with a crowd of losers. In the periphery of my circle of loser friends was another circle that occasionally intersected ours. The "head" of that circle had a crew of Mexicans working for him. They stole everything under the sun but something I observed was that they only stole stuff they could make money with; tools, construction material, paint and sandpaper for auto shops, etc. And, yes, workboots. They never stole TVs, Playstations, bling or any of that garbage.
Doesn't make them better or worse, just different.
I guess tools are useful for fixing and fortifying things. Blacks just want to be entertained.
