You know the one thing that is hard as fuck for niggas to do? And is something that white people just don't get it? Getting a job.

If you're non-black and you're reading this, stop and think about the job that you have... how many black people are in your workplace? And don't count the chump-change jobs like the delivery guy or the security guy or the janitor.

Probably not a lot, huh? Probably one or two people on your whole floor and maybe someone working as the receptionist.

Now think about the places you go, like retail establishments and restaurants and movie theaters and gas stations or 7-Eleven clerks (no niggas there!!!).

I'm gonna say that your mail deliver person (USPS or FedEx or UPS) to your house could be a nigga, and there's probably a few cops, not to mention most of the people at the DMV or any mind-numbing government job.

Niggas are typically assed out when it comes to better paying jobs - now I'm not even talking about high paying jobs, I'm talking about jobs that pay over $25K a year BEFORE TAXES!

There was a book about the culture of fear that was discussed in that Michael Moore movie Bowling For Columbine, where the author (a USC sociology professor) stated that the average black man with a college degree and some post-graduate work under his belt with work experience is making the same or less than the average white man who only has a high school diploma!!! A high school diploma, what the fuck is that?

So the term wage slave most likely refers to white peope who WISH they had more high-paying, more flexible jobs.
