Always had a great level of respect for Dwyane Wade, but he's out of pocket with this classist, bootstrappy statement. Some of his fans in Miami-Dade County are hourly wage workers. Bet he want thinking about that when he tweeted this. Minimum wage workers are the backbone of this society, the hardest working group and the least paid. If the myth of working hard actually meant something in the country, they'd be running the country lock, stock, and barrel (Kwame Ture voice). Not only do they work to survive, but they frontline to improve the workplace across all sectors, not only for themselves. So for celebs like him and those who rush to defend this statement, put some goddam respect on the working class. We take tremendous pride in our work ethic, and we'll always continue to do better for ourselves and our families, all while fighting for a better tomorrow. #ProudProductOfTheWorkingClass #MinimumWageWorkEthicIsTheStrongestWorkEthic #RespectTheWorkingClass #TheInstantClassic (at Rosedale, Queens)
