Shannon Sharpe, co-host of FS1’s Undisputed, has proclaimed that being a black man is the “hardest job [he’s] ever had.”

During the August 28 broadcast of Undisputed, Sharpe, who is reportedly worth 12 million, was discussing NFL executive Troy Vincent’s comments about the boycotts that coursed through professional sports in response to the Jacob Blake shooting.

It brought to Sharpe’s mind how blacks are oppressed in America and how hard it is to be black.

“The hardest job I’ve ever had was being black. Because you don’t get paid for it, it’s a heavy burden to bear and you can’t get good at it because all you’ll ever be is black. And no matter what you become, it’ll always be proceeded by being black,” he said.

“It’s the hardest job in America,” he continued. “Because you don’t get paid for it. And it’s a heavy burden to bear. And you can’t get food at it. Because all you’ll ever be is black.”

By the way, the oppressed Sharpe has an estimated net worth of between $12 and 18 million.

My guess - someone at the network wrote that line for him and told him to run with it. For that, he gets paid big bucks. All for show. Pandering, doing what the DNC tells him to do.

Try being a qualified white guy competing against blacks for scholarships and job promotions. No chance.

So true. Qualified white guys are being chopped off payrolls in favor of minorities. Especially qualified senior white guys. I was cut because I was old, but was replaced by four younger minority guys - hint, they couldn't perform any of what I was capable of doing as a multi-tasker I.T. systems engineer. Got a golden parachute so didn't complain. Feel bad for younger guys out there.
