We would hire them if, they'd show up on time, not be high at work, don't steal, don't break stuff to keep from working, don't miss days, don't argue with coworkers jsut to stop working or actually know what thier doing. Find that one guy and ill hire him.

This guy will step down by summer. He is done on the national stage. Has been an unmitigated disaster.

So Mayor Pete & the admin decide to... work the divisive racism angle in the midst of the nation's worst chemical rail disaster?

shite. I have a friend who owns a concrete business. Black guy. He refuses to hire other black guys to work for him. Only hires Mexicans. Why? He says the black guys are too lazy to do any actual work. Not my words. His exact words. “Them mother frickers don’t want to work. I’ve got to stay behind them to get anything done.”

The thing that bothers me most about the spy balloons... they're all white. We really need to put more effort into getting some black spy balloons in this country

The incompetent mayor Butt-gig is now the incompetent head of transportation.

Tell me you’ve never been on a construction site without telling me you’ve never been on a construction site.

not employing local workers in minority communities and outsourcing to White people.

Whites are a minority in New Orleans with roughly 1/3 of the population … is the Pelicans roster 1/3 white?

Never met a black welder. You have never been in the plants in La. I know quite a few. Some of the best I know are black.

T/A I’m on is about 1/3 white/ black/ Hispanic. Tell me how a black person from the Dominican Republic can get a job here but one two miles away can’t. Insulators are making $40/hr and it is mostly Hispanic women.

Most people just want good dependable workers and don’t have time for the other noise.

Easier to blame the racist boogeyman than their own personal failings

Why don't they ever say the hospitals in the area don't reflect the neighborhood, always the construction workers

Can’t believe he isn’t in East Palestine surveying the damage of the train derailment.

I was told his specialty is Trains.

Not sure how long it’s been, but he’s never stepped foot on a major construction site in the south. I’m in HVAC in Birmingham. Plenty of black welders/electricians/skilled labor and unskilled. Almost our entire crew wrapping pipe and duct are Hispanic women. Plenty of black and Hispanic concrete workers. A construction site is a damn melting pot. You’ve got some dudes that need cash advances and you’ve got some dudes driving 2500’s. All walks of life on a construction site.

I'm certain there are some black welders out there, but I can't think of one time in my 52 years on this Earth, I have ever met one. I do know quite a few white welders though. Come to think of it, I've never met a black electrician either.




I knew a few back in the day when I worked summers on Peters Road in Harvey...
