It is interesting. Some of the "early" slaves/blacks that were given their freedom actually had those skills. However, skills that a lot of them did not have (and as a whole most blacks don't today) is foresight and the ability of delayed gratification. This results in a lack of planning (being on time is racist, remember?) and even though they can do the work and can be good at it.. They don't understand the concepts behind the when/why/etc. Some understood that but most did not. Its comical really. The modern left/progressive's are very similar. You remember that "Chaz/chop" "Farm"? That has got to be one of the most comical fucking things I've seen ever. They knew "you need plants for them to give you food". That is about where their thinking/knowledge ended. Yet, modern liberals/progressives think you can teach anyone how to farm/ranch/whatever because that is the job of "dumb people". Maybe you should talk to some farmers and ranchers. Maybe you should talk to their kids. You are going to find out real fucking fast that you are the moron, living in your big city and thinking "food comes from the store". Without that farmer/rancher you wouldn't starve.. You would not exist because your grandparents would have starved.
