Despite the fact that there is a vast wealth of young black talent out there beyond the realms of the sports and entertainment industries they still struggle to reach representative levels in highest positions in business and public sector jobs.
I could present a reasoned argument here that dances around what the obvious answer is but i don't have time. We live in and under an elitist Anglo American power structure that is inherently racist towards certain ethnicities most notably in recent history 'the blacks'. From the moment that a majority of black children are born in the USA the odds are deliberatley stacked against them, confined to live in ghettos with poor housing, to attend failing schools, to be mistreated by police, have poorer quality and less access to health care and a lower life expectancy.
I understand alot of people will say Obama is president he is black they can do it etc. But you must remember that the black president has 'legitimate', high ranking opposition politicians questioning if he is even American and making a variety of other racist slurs and incinuations that i could spend all day talking about besides he certainly has not been treated equally to how a similar white president would be treated. Besides the fact that he's probably only president because some white people weve never seen let him be.
Mexicans and black people are good for menial jobs. White people for the good jobs, of course.
Colonial people had jobs such as schoolmaster, black smith, dressmaker, ect. Life was very hard work in colonial times.
bruhh they do get jobs
If you have your Masters Degree, good for you. Jobs are hard to find with the economy in it's current state. You will be competing with people with their Bachelors. This means they have less education, but cost less. Sell yourself well and there are plenty of good jobs for you.
people were dropping out of jobs and jobs were hard to find
Yes.
bad jobs like slaves
Every job there is.
The demand for people to gather raw materials. Pretty much a demand for someone to do the hard labour jobs no one else wanted to do.
hard for them to get jobs.
they do the jobs nobody else wants to. which is the hard stuff.
American soldiers returning from World War II were given free college education. This influx in knowledge led to the development of new ideas, technologies and industries. As these industries grew employement rated rose. So YES, jobs were readily available in 1949 (assuming you are American)...
