Soooo frustrated right now....I need to vent

I need to preface what I'm about to say with I'm a middle age black professional.
I've done many home projects throughout my time of being a homeowner for 20+ years. For the most part I've been satisfied by the work of each contractor I've hired. Almost everyone I've ever hired has shown up, did the job I hired them to do, they did it correctly, and if they didn't do something right they would immediately make arrangements to come back and fix it.
I've hired white folks, Mexican folks, Asian folks and all of them came in promptly, did the job professionally, and provided a high quality results.
The only time I've ever had problems was when I hired black folks. The black folks I've hired either didn't show up, was disrespectful of your time, did poor quality, and when you question them about it they get a shitty attitude with you when you are the customer.
Y'all can call me racist, Uncle Tom, sell-out, and whatever else you want to say (I really don't give a damn), but I'm never hiring another black person to do anything for me ever again. Those guys have messed it up for anyone that comes after them. I work too damn hard for my money to have to pay for the same job to get done twice. No matter who I hire I expect to the job to get done correctly, within a reasonable timeframe, and with certain degree of quality.

I feel much better now. Thank you OT

I've had the opposite problem. Lower level white folks are worthless. Probably half the white population.

Get 99% of the job done by yourself. Watch as some lazy piece of shite asks if you need help. Nah, buddy. I'm good.

White meth head types are by far the worst from my observations around my neighborhood

I find that brothers usually do the best masonry work. Around my way, anyways.

I don’t believe you. Google let’s me search for black owned businesses for a reason

It’s the field and the culture. It’s not specific to black folks. The most unreliable people are tradesman and fast food workers.

What if some of the white folks you hired would wear blackface whilst working?
How do you suppose their results would then turn out?
I’m trying to see if it’s nature or nurture.

I white and only go to Indian doctors for big health issues because I know they know their shite. Maybe that makes me racist, I don’t know.

Restaurant, bars, unskilled labor. Regardless of race, you're hiring people who will eventually be fired.
