“If the model employer, the federal government, is unilaterally terminating high-performing Black employees, what hope is there?” President Trump’s efforts to shrink the federal work force have disproportionately affected Black women. Those losses are also rippling through the private sector.

But here's the thing: if the model employer is tanking, what's the signal to the market? Is it time to HODL or is it time to cash out?

Whether you like it or not, a lot of these jobs are poobah make-work positions meant to place and maintain blacks in an (artificial) middle class.

Even if that's true, it's likely not because they are black but because they are filling roles that are not needed, or they are incompetent (DEI*). The NYT is anti-American propaganda. DEI = Didn't Earn It

Unproductive people need blocking, upsetting the relatively productive. Because those make it obvious that the unproductive should shut up and stay home

If the Lisa Cooks of the world have to take private sector jobs, that will only benefit those companies that hire them. Smart companies should not emulate the mediocrity of the Trump Administration if they want to last long. Those who follow Donnie's racist gang into the gutter will not.

This is a racist coup. Just say it. Not just in the Opinion section, but in your news, too. They target black women in job cuts and revenge investigations, brown people in kidnappings and illegal deportations, they’re killing voting rights and celebrating Confederate heroes. They’re racist. Say it.

No one can read a white person the way that a Black woman can. Remember Kamala Harris during the Kavanaugh hearings or the Barr testimony. Jasmine, Michelle , KBJ etc. all know the deal.

It’s about Trump’s push to cut federal jobs, which is hitting Black women the hardest. This isn’t just a government issue—it’s also impacting private sector jobs, raising concerns about unfair targeting and broader economic effects.
