How stupid are you? One of the main points of the documentary was that all the companies pulled out, and there WERE NO JOBS!! That takes away A LOT of your "choices" now doesn't it smart-guy?
Now why didnt they move to an area or state that did have jobs? Idk the answer to that...maybe many did. Maybe many felt the same would happen to them there--move to where there's labor jobs, ANOTHER plant shuts down. It was true that black Americans COULDNT get the same training in tech and other advanced fields. Before racial equality was "cool", most colleges didn't want black people. So...under-educated with all of the labor jobs disappearing, tell me what are a man's "choices" again??
I'm guessing ur spoon-fed middle class folk, who saw MULTIPLE opportunities and pathways open on ur horizon. U actually got to choose "what u want to be", and mom n dad would pay for ur education in that field. It must have been nice......
If ur poor and broke out, all the power to u. But, u would also know the traps of poverty, and what a struggle it is to get out, when everyone u KNOW is stuck there physically and mentally. The "cool kids" just wanna make the most of it--hang out, get laid, get high, and have fun cuz they dont see any way to get out anyways. The smart ones have a lot of temptations and battles to fight if they wanna ignore the world around them (almost all that they know) and focus on school/career and gettin out.
I hope u lose ur job, college degree, skills, and career, and have to go move to the slums. Lets see how easy it is for u to get out. No help from family or friends either....the slums are ur new AND ONLY friends and family....get it now?? >:)
