Of course it's just disguised welfare without officially being on the welfare roles.

Certainly a wildly inflammatory opinion piece.
But do the facts really support it?


NBC News Admits the Black Middle Class Was Created with "Non-Essential
Federal Jobs": Elon Musk's DOGE Threatens to End the Scam

So much of the United States of America in 2025 is built on a foundation
of lies, and the mortgage is underwater. Our entire nation was remade in
a horrifying Frankenstein experiment with the Civil Rights Act of 1964
let loose upon every facet of American life, and like Robert Walton
trying to get to the North Pole, we finally see the macabre results.

It’s all fake. Pitiful, really. [Much of the Black middle class was
built by federal jobs. That may change.: For the last several decades,
federal jobs helped Black workers find stable work with guardrails to
prevent bias, but mass cuts are threatening decades of upward mobility.,
NBC News, February 22, 2025]:

When Francine Verdine took a job as a clerk at the Internal Revenue
Service in Houston in 1983, it was supposed to be a stopgap until
something better came along. She didn’t expect that 42 years later, she
would look back on it as the start of a rewarding career that provided
growth in various management positions, upward mobility and the
opportunity to build a comfortable life for her family.

“I enjoyed my career,” said Verdine, who retired in 2019. “I had no idea when I started that I could make the money I did by the time I left.
It’s sad that many others’ opportunity to have a similar career could be over.”

For decades, the federal government provided both reliable jobs and
guardrails to offset systemic racial bias in hiring and promotions,
offering an alternative for Black workers who might be overlooked or
ignored in the private sector. They played a crucial role in helping
Black workers like Verdine join the middle class and thrive. But vast
cuts by the Trump administration, led by Elon Musk’s Department of
Government Efficiency, are threatening to close down that
once-dependable path to financial stability.

The government, which has about 3 million employees, is the largest
employer in the country. At least 75,000 of them accepted buyout offers
and thousands were fired in the last several weeks. Many of the workers
fired were either newer hires or told they were let go for subpar
performance.

“The federal workforce was a means to help build Black middle class. It
hired Black Americans at a higher rate than private employers,” said
Sheria Smith, president of the American Federation of Government
Employees Local 252, which represents the Education Department employees.

As a part of his efforts, President Trump is angling to shut down the Department of Education, a move that will have dramatic repercussions
around the country. Nearly 30% of Education employees are Black
according to a 2024 report by the department.

Smith said 74 workers at the department had been let go so far, 60 of
whom are Black.

At the Department of Health and Human Services, where more than 1,300
new hires were reportedly laid off, 20% of the staff was Black. And at
the Department of Veterans Affairs, which recently lost 1,000 employees,
24% are Black.

These numbers illustrate how important government jobs have been and are
for Black people, said Marcus Casey, a fellow in the Economic Studies
program at the Brookings Institution. He said the administration’s
efforts are trying to undermine the gains of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, which banned discrimination on the basis of race and other characteristics, and of affirmative action, which began in the federal government to make the hiring and promoting process more inclusive.

“Whether it was from the post office, through direct growth of federal agencies, through the military — the government fought against the
headwinds associated with the private sector,” said Casey, an affiliated scholar with Brookings’ Future of Middle Class Initiative.

Many Black people could build careers through the federal government
typically because the private sector overlooked them, regardless of
their qualifications, he said. “And so, the federal government has been essential to the building of the Black middle class.”

A worker at the Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C, who
requested anonymity for fear of being fired, said several workers in his
office have been fired for “poor performance.”

“Morale is so low,” he said. “People who should be there are gone. Everyone is nervous about the next shoe dropping.”

He said he has 16 years on the job and was planning to retire in four.
“I wanted to do an even 20, maybe even 25. But I have to be honest with myself now: I don’t think I’m going to make it. Every indicator is that
my head will be chopped off sooner or later. How can anyone be
productive with that hanging over you?”

Undoing DEI to cut the federal workforce
The president’s sweeping changes began with ending DEI throughout the government, weaponizing it as a “destructive ideology” along the way. Countless jobs have been lost in an area that was created to develop
fair hiring opportunities.

“A lot of Black people not only benefited from what they call DEI now,
but the original affirmative action programs, and the veteran
preferences,” Casey said. “That combination helped a lot of people get a foothold in the civil service.” These efforts, he said, “helped people
get middle-class salaries and build middle-class lives with an ecosystem
of race-specific businesses around Black communities.”

Verdine said it’s no secret that the government could be streamlined,
but added that the way the administration is going about it is “disheartening.”

“There’s no humanity in what’s happening right now,” she said. “No organization. It’s just chaos and people being hurt.”

“He was soon borne away by the waves, and lost in darkness and distance.”

Those are the last lines of Mary Shelly’s The Modern Prometheus.

I was born decades after the passing of The 1964 Civil Rights Act, where
our nation was remade and Freedom of Association designated illegal by
the State. But this era is coming to an end, the lies maintaining so
much of infrastructure of what was dubbed Black-Run America (BRA) unsustainable, even if simply measured economically.

What the private sector can’t provide, the public sector was forced to momentarily uplift; but under the weight of reality we’ve been told to ignore, it finally revealed itself as an uncontrollable monster, far
beyond the noble ambitions of its creators.

The fate of Rhodesia and South Africa will not befall the United States
of America. Slowly, the road forward has appeared. Then, suddenly, all
at once, we’ll be at the destination.

South Africa was devastated by Black Economic Empowerment,
state-mandated discrimination against the white minority. Quietly,
that’s what the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ushered in long ago in the USA.
Kill it, Mr. Musk. Before it strangles the USA.

Not sure how many of you are familiar with the area surrounding D.C. I’m
not from there, but I have visited a number of times as I have
acquaintances that live there. It’s always eye opening to see the mass amounts of blacks, and the fact they’re pretty much all middle class, or that’s the way it seems to me since around here where I live it’s mostly ghetto Chicago transplants. Having said that, even though outwardly the
D.C. suburbs seem fairly nice, there’s still an incredible amount of
crime- as my friend always says, unless it’s a double homicide it ain’t makin’ the news around here (Prince George’s County). So it seems that
even though they have high paying cushy jobs, nice homes, and a nearly homogeneous community… blacks still create an environment of
criminality… Maybe others who live in this area could shed more light on
the subject.

Blacks are, and always have been, a heavy anchor around the neck of this country. There will be no significant moving forward without permanent separation from them, the increasing load of illegal sewage and the
dirtbag White libs***s who have aided and abetted this unqualified disaster.

@Anon
What has always struck me about Washington DC is how all the government employees all seem to be black but all the workers in the Smithsonian’s
etc, who were private sector workers were all brown. Hispanics I guess.

The dependence of blacks on government jobs is not confined to the
federal government. It has been an open secret since the 1980s that a
large number of black middle class jobs involve servicing the black
underclass.

So you guys want the 1964 Civil Rights Act to be abolished? If that
happens, then I don’t want to live in a country that is run by segregationists and racists. I’ll rather move to New Zealand, Holland,
or Canada

OT: Anthony Cumia talks about blacks scamming people over parking going
to White Sox games, bulletproof Dunkin Donuts, and the school principal
who is more afraid of the cop than the fact the cop was there because a
bomb threat had been called in.
