"Why would a brother be railing against 15 minimum wage on my FB page?"


  

          

Just trying to find out if that is a real strand of black thought? Ever come across it? He said something about it's communism and mentioned minimum wage jobs are for low skilled workers like students and if a person wanted more pay they should learn more skills, blah blah, blah.

Left me scratching my head that a college educated brother from detroit living in Harlem with a black wife, volunteers to works with kids and was generally cool to kick it with a couple of times (hence facebook friends) would be thinking that way.

Of course he is the best person to ask but I unfriended him rather than try to have a conversation with him. In my mind this was his second and last offense because he made another post lightweight endorsing Trumps idea that we should not rule out using Nukes in the middle east and I called him out on that. On the second offense, it was just easier to unfriend him.

Again, just trying to figure out where this strain of thought would come into a brothers mind. Are black people really co-signing this dumb shit.

I guess there is the broader question of who, beyond, wealthy people and business owners are railing against a higher minimum wage?
