Love to see this kind of thought process. It blows my mind how brainwashed black folks still are to this day. Dude👇👇👇👇👇right here lays it out so so so perfectly and sadly he will be mocked, called a traitor etc. Dudes just got his mind right. Catch up people
This young mechanic is warning “listen before you try to work as a mechanic” hit hard.
In his story he explains how pay is now garbage, you have to start with your own $40,000 set of tools and your hours get cut. You then work on cars that are impossible to diagnose.
My late uncle Jack sold his shop 20 years ago for the exact same reason. Cars were becoming too complicated for old-school wrenchers like him. He saw it coming.
What’s happening now isn’t accidental. There’s a clear push to force every repair through the dealership. They load these cars with proprietary electrical systems, modules, and computers that require manufacturer-specific tools, software subscriptions, and certifications just to diagnose.
That barrier costs a fortune. Independent shops can’t keep up with the tool prices, the training, the locked-down diagnostics. So the mom-and-pop places that used to keep your car running for a fair price get squeezed out. Customers get funneled to the dealer where the labor rates are higher and the incentive is often to sell more work (or a new car).
This isn’t progress. It’s control of the aftermarket. Right-to-repair exists on paper in some places, but the practical reality is that modern vehicles are designed to be opaque to anyone without the factory key.
Uncle Jack saw the writing on the wall two decades ago. The kid in that TikTok is living it now. The skilled trades that built this country are being engineered out of the independent repair business, one locked module at a time.
Support the shops that still fight to stay independent. And push harder on actual right-to-repair that includes the software and tools, not just the parts.
⚔️ Righteous Indignation is not a sin. Fighting against evil is absolutely right even in the eyes of our Creator. Yahweh.
The Biblical reference, "Turning the other cheek" was misused. It was a psychological tactic used by the oppressor to keep Black people docile.
Emotions boiled over during today’s Madison Police Department press conference as community members interrupted Police Chief John Patterson following the fatal police shooting of Corey Ruiz.
The room reflected the grief, anger, and frustration many are feeling. One man took the microphone and refused to allow the chief to continue speaking, while another attendee argued they should let officials answer questions and be part of the conversation instead of shutting it down entirely.
During his remarks, the man holding the microphone said:
“When these police officers come down the street and they decide they want to take the life of another brown body, there is NO oversight for that. That’s imperialism, ladies and gentlemen.”
The exchange underscored just how divided people are over what accountability should look like and how deep the pain and distrust runs after Corey Ruiz’s death. As the investigation continues, many in the community say they are still searching for answers, transparency, and justice.
