THOUGHTS ABOUT MIGRATION AND SKILLS

THOUGHTS ABOUT MIGRATION AND SKILLS – skilled migrants better suited for migration When I refer to skills here I’m talking about what one knows how to do that can be sold to others who are willing to pay for what one knows; if what you know to do can be done by many people, almost any one, then your chance of being welcome as an immigrant to another city or country is next to zero – you will be seen as a liability: no city or country wants a poor person with little or no skills. In addition to skills, race is an important factor in determining migrant opportunity. In countries where Europeans are a majority and in control of institutions there is little opportunity for, say, black people to migrate; unless their skill level is high and in demand. Even with a high skill levels blacks will continue to be faced with the politics of European’ dominance: population numbers, institution control, and wealth. Many black people have chosen and or been forced to secure immigrant status or citizenship in another country, particularly Africa; if you examine those black migrants you’ll find that most, if not all, have skills they could employ to support themselves: Africa does not need more poor black people with no usable and or saleable skills to maintain themselves. I see reparations as an integral part of growing the skill bank of, specifically, young black people. Reparations, in my opinion, will have a painful and bloody birth. In the meantime you young people must take the lead in demanding skill development at every step of your education – the question to always ask is, WHAT SKILLS IS THIS SUBJECT TEACHING ME; WILL IT HELP ME GET A JOB WHEN I’M DONE? Don’t wait for adults to get skills for you: It’s your life, so you get them – SKILLS. MILK THE IRON COW - trailer https://youtu.be/Gh5Ybzl7E5c
