This might piss some folks off but alot of them were working bullshyt ass overpaid jobs, which is why they were so expendable :francis:
The more I read this forum, the more I come to understand that a lot of you have contempt for Black people. What a stupid fukking posts. Public-sector jobs weren't "bullshyt" or "overpaid," they were stable, middle-class careers that offered a foothold in an economy that systematically excluded Black folks from the private sector.

We told you people that this was going to happen -- that Trump was going to gut the most reliable pathway to the middle-class for Black people -- the public sector. And now that we're seeing the results of his actions, your first inclination is to blame the workers, call their jobs "bullshyt," and act like this was some kind of natural correction instead of a targeted political attack.

We have to cut that out about the degrees

Because their isn’t a huge difference

You know what scratch my prior answer what is the amount of black men who lost their jobs since Trump got elected. This whole thread is designed to separate us and you can see it in this thread where dumb motherfukkers are acting like this will “humble” women for daring to go and get a college degree.

What is the total number of black people who lost their jobs? Does anyone in this thread have that total number?

Nah its targeted attacks for sure. But if you think a Chief Liaison Officer for Diversity or Human Community Outreach role disappeared overnight would effect a companies bottom line then you were sorely mistaken. :manny:

I can tell from a mile way when someone is speaking confidently on something they know nothing about

1- ‘Too reliant on government jobs’ is like saying people are too reliant on military, or SSI. Like as opposed doing what?? The shyt been working for decades and has built black wealth, tf are you talking about. No one in their right mind would have seen this coming

They used to send out police blotter type monthly emails at this one agency. I’ve seen folk catch DUI, beat their wife, impersonate an officer, assault charge…..suspended 10 days. It used to be virtually impossible to lose a government job. So swooping in on some ‘see, I told y’all’ is just silly

2- With that said, your post has its place :ehh:Bc it’s important we see just how ignorant the avg person is :snoop:Y’all really been conned into thinking it’s all waste and excess. To the point you’re doing their bidding cheering this on and ignoring that it’s a Trojan horse to usher in all sorts of shyt that WILL affect you and millions of other black folk. Brilliant
relying on the same people you say are racist is dumb.

we dont build enough...
we dont get enough degrees that matter.

you dont build wealth through working a middle mgmt job as a city employee.

the move is to get that job, raise a family and hopefully your kids do something more.

not have generations do the same shyt and then become shocked when a Trump comes into office and cuts you out.

Theres a reason other groups build themselves up outside of government work...
they create their own lane.

White folks got us by the nuts and people like you defend it.
Black folks HAVE to do what liberal whites say because we need them for survival.

I think the problem is a lot are in non-technical roles when they join bigger companies. You gotta either be in a tech role or quality role imo to have job security

Preaching to the choir. You'll be called a c00n and a racist while nothing changes in their lives.

Let me stop you right there. Playing the ‘My hands won’t touch anything from oppression :obama:‘ game is tired and juvenile. We can’t win that battle. Ever. Like just kill that whole angle

Nah I’m gon stop you there too. Degrees that matter says who? The same way you couldn’t predict trump you can’t predict what sectors where peope will get phased out. See coding

1- You don’t build wealth thru ANY job if you wanna grt technical. That’s thru real estate and investing. So now you’re just rambling

2- ‘you do it thru getting a job’…..oh, but just not a govt job? Like what is your point right now?

3- In contracting I’ve worked with all walks of life, far more whites and other folk than black. Talkin bout try ‘build themself up’. Again you have no clue what’s you’re talking about.

I know your type. You don’t like office/corporate work in general bc it’s foreign to you, so you shyt on it as a whole. That’s why brehs are becoming extinct in these spaces. At the end of the day get paid but do understand mfers will glamorize owning a food truck or having vending machines but clown a ‘sellout’ govt job making twice as much

My biggest problem with "DEI" is one; most of the people benefitting are white women.

Once it got cut, we were gonna be the worst off.

But, this definitely includes federal jobs as the Post Office is the biggest employer of black women.

The real issue is how artificially propped up and utterly dependent on the government's whims these jobs were in the first place.

Bro, that makes zero sense when the private sector can be as vilatile with shyt like tarriffs and the price of lumber going through the roof.

Most of the unemployment numbers are driven by the private sector.
