What does /pol/ think of the legend of John Henry?

He wasn't afraid of steam engines

no thoughts as to the moral of the story ?

Technology can't replace humanity?

>>137476743
you can do better than that

>>137476647
you arent as strong as a steam powered machine no matter how much your heart is in it

>>137476870
I don't think his "heart was in the work" as Andrew Carnegie liked to say.

>>137476870
how about "even in folk tales work kills black people?"

>>137475608
Stop listening to backstory.

He was a steel driven man. Also if you swing a hammer long enough your heart will pop.

>>137476647
Blacks should work more?

John Henry was a hard-working super slave, something all niggers should aspire towards

Moral of the story? Don't trust whitey.

I mean come on you can do better "he should have been docked a days pay for napping on the job"

They should stop taking PCP and rampaging with hammers, according to OP's pic.

I mean even Dr. Sleepy Ben said he tried to hit his mama with a hammer. Can't relax.

pretty good work of fiction right there.

>>137475608
It was an allegory for industrialization

"Pride will be the death of you"

>>137477055
Its almost like he would have died even if he was white.

>>137475608
Black folklore is about a black dude that's a hero because he works
