Some are quick to say that young blacks in America don't want to work. This is not true. The jobs like carpentry, landscaping, bricklayers and other construction type jobs are being eaten up by mexican Americans; That do not have license to perform those jobs. These are some of the same jobs that blacks have raised there familys,built communitys, and sent there kids to college. Now we have to seek other jobs that require an education, because we ain't working for 12hrs and make $50.00. NO WAY!

I know just how you feel. I am a single mother of three and expecting. I was fired ....told that I was not to come back to work cause I was a liability. I have looke endlessly for jobs but because I am pregnant I cant even get a simple gas station or short order cook job. And I am white!
