You couldn't refer to him as that brother? I doubt if a person you described him as would walk two blocks to work.![]()
Changed it![]()
Thanks Bruh. I think every town has a person like this. In my home town his name is Mr. "Moe". He's autistic and was just glad to have a job earning his own money. Maybe this guy have a learning disability, or maybe he feels like his independence comes from not having someone do things for him. The cool thing is that he's not hanging out, saggin, and smoking weed waiting to rob someone.![]()
No prob
You trying to make me feel bad and think
I wish dude the best, I know the donated money will come in handy![]()
This shit ain't inspirational.
Props to homie for the commitment...
...but, this is more sad than anything. That much fire in his belly, and he uses it to be a wage slave?
Shit, if you're going to grind that fucking hard, at least be compensated handsomely.
THIS!!!!!!!
Has dude not gotten a raise in all this time? where is his money going? How long do you grind at a gig that cant even get you a hooptie
I think dude may have a mental issue and CAC media using this as a keep nigga's in they place news piece.
I don't know what to say about this dude. On one hand, respect for having the resolve to walk that far to work everyday but on the other hand I feel he dumb as hell for not moving up or getting another job or a closer job if you gotta walk. There has to be another $10/hr job closer than that. Thats ridiculous.
that's what I'm thinking walking all them years?
work SMARTER not HARDER
he ain't my hero.. he is nothing i aspire to be![]()
Damn. Some of you cats made some valid points. However, I say this to you. Never down a man until you walked in his shoes. He could be autistic, he could be under educated, he could have did a bid? Whatever his situation, don't down him. We all have a cross to bear. And, I didn't reference that shit because of religion. Frankly, everybody has to deal with some type of shit while we are here. Could be that he walked those 10 years just for that article to be written about him, and his struggle will inspire others to be more human, more understanding of the struggles of a fellow human being that is traveling on this plane. So, lift that man up as you would do yourselves. Be thankful that GOD has blessed you to have the mind and ability to do better than what he has done. Because brothers, most of us are only a paycheck, a bad motor, a jacked up alternator away for being where he is. However, it might not be 10 years in the bardos, but a good few weeks can be that same for us.
Sorry, but fuck that. Dude's an inspirational dumbass.
He's literally been walking in circles for a decade.
Nothing inspirational about this.
This shit ain't inspirational.

Man, we as black people identify so much with struggle that we want to applaud niggas who struggle the best.
FOH.
There is nothing positive to be taken from this shit, other than it does seem humans will have pity on you if you work hard, but have no desire for upward mobility.
Anyone can hit a rough patch in life...
...but this niggas entire life seems to be a grind, and he got hellified discipline and drive.
Damn...well he has 73,000 now.
No bruh it's not that... Just some of the comments people are making without understanding his situation is kinda sad. I will never put down a man trying to make an honest living.
If thats the case, then I take back everything I said.
I just have an personal issue with this shit. I grew up with people applauding people for doing the bare minimum or normal shit, and discouraging people for trying to do something out of the ordinary.
I wouldn't say its hate in most cases, but its like motherfuckers get petrified if you want to do something to come up majorly.
I really tried to stress that in a few of my cousins a few years ago, prior to enrolling in college. I can't control their lives, but I told them that college CAN be a waste. Its about what you're going for, and how well you do while you're in there.
Gettin' a 2.5gpa in a bullshit major ain't about nothing.
I want to see my people come up. That is a real passion for me. But, its like, a lot of the discussions I've had, and a lot that I hear, it makes me think we've been conditioned to just accept any damn thing. I know everybody can't be on some boss shit...
...but no one can convince me - especially if we worked together - we could be operating on a much higher level.
Once again, I can respect that kind of commitment and discipline, but that kind of commitment and discipline should have definitely been used for something greater than walking to walk every day for ten years. He's shown the capacity to go EXTREMELY HARD for crumbs...
...why not go extremely hard for a whole slice of the pie?
You think what he's doing is the bare minimum or just normal?????![]()
Some of these comments are hilarious. Leave it to BGOL to find a way to clown this dude.
Yes the man could most definitely work smarter than walking 21 miles to work for 10 years. The discipline and commitment and work ethic is to be applauded in 2015 in a city filled with poverty and unemployment like Detroit.
Does this sound like a story from the Depression Era of the 1930s? Absolutely. But this man is a hardworking dedicated employee loyal to his employer for life probably. The man's work ethic is absolutely astounding especially in modern day America. This isn't considered a third world country but this man's dedication and work ethic is similar to those of citizens in lands steeped deep off in poverty that work like this everyday all their lives for peanuts.
The story is amazing and even inspiring just off work ethic and dedication alone not brilliance education investment savvy entrepreneurialism or resourcefulness. That's why it's gone viral. People in the US in 2015 are not accustomed to hearing about this level of dedication.
I'm glad the man finally has a ride to work now after ten years.
Boom. Let's keep it real, when the media want to praise black folk, it's either due to us turning the other cheek or being hard "labourers". That always tends to be the narrative. When's the last time they praised us for fighting back or pimping the system?
When white people do, they get movies and tv shows made about them (Breaking Bad, Wolf of Wall Street, Godfather)
When black people do, we are criminals, thugs and made examples of.
Man, fuck this story.
truth they had that other story where dude worked at some job until he was like 100 or something..i think he worked at the job for 7 decades or more or some shit..they praised him for his dedication blah blah..than he eventually retired and died like a month later..than they went onto the next story
See what happens when you take away what makes a person happy?Do making more money makes you a better person? He wasn't complaining about his issue, so why should anyone else?

All these years he couldn't get a hoopty and put liability insurance on it? Come on bruh walking 21 miles to work? Fuck all that bullshit
we were making a point that the media likes to highlight the loyal black worker..the dedicated negro.. they tend not to show black entrepreneurs cause they don't want nigs to get any idea's of seperating themselves from the worker bee into a independant bee..they want to get in ur head that the only way to make money is by some job hand out aka paycheck and not fig out how to generate ur own source of income..this is def not a mistake and def part of the media trickery.. i always said in general they don't want nigs to have money and by carefully putting out subliminals of the dedicated clock puncher negro to the masses that ur skillset is limited and can only be used under somebody else company
A damn shame you had to break it down like a child. No one here is really attacking the dude, just what the media wants him to represent.
As harsh as this sounds, I agree with you. It is utterly stupid of him to put himself in this position.shows everything that is wrong with that city
works for 23 years only earn 10$ an hour
no good public transport
too under educated or too stupid to go for a better paying job
loyalty my ass, i bet they wouldn't hesitate to dump him if the economy tanked again
