No kidding!

Look what they did to Hillary and Kamala!

Bullshit.

According to the 2024 Department of Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey, which includes data on employed persons by detailed occupation, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, there is no indication of discrimination against white individuals. Whites represent 76.3 percent of the workforce. Latinos were 19.4 percent, Blacks, 12.8 percent and Asians were 7 percent. Where the fallacy in the right wing argument is revealed most is in the various types of management. While whites are 76.3 percent of the overall workforce, they are 76.7 percent of those holding various management positions.

Whites are:

• 86 percent of the CEOS.
• 80 percent of the GMS and Operations managers.
• 92 percent of the Advertising/Promotions managers.
• 82.6 percent of the Marketing managers.
• 87 percent of the Sales managers.
• 88.5 percent of the P.R. and fundraising managers.
• 80.8 percent of the Administrative services managers.
• 79.9 percent of the Facilities managers.
• 71.9 percent of the Computer and Information managers.
• 77.4 percent of the Financial managers.
• 78.9 percent of the Human Resource managers.
• 88.1 percent of the Training and Development managers
• 81 percent of the Industrial Production managers.
• 83 percent of the Purchasing managers.
• 77.2 percent of the Transportation, storage, and Distribution managers.
• 96.3 percent of Farm, Ranch, and other agricultural managers.
• 89.3 percent of the Construction managers.
• 78 percent of the Education and childcare administrators.
• 75.8 percent of the Food service managers.
• 80 percent of the Entertainment/Recreation managers.
• 75.6 percent of the Lodging managers.
• 76.4 percent of the Medical and Health services managers.
• 79.6 percent of the Property, Real Estate and Community Associations managers.
• 77.2 percent of the Social and Community services managers.8
• 
  
• It doesn’t stop with management.
• 
  
• Whites are:
• 
  
• 77 percent of the employees in Business and financial occupations.
• 64.2 percent of the employees in Computer and mathematic occupations.
• 76 percent of the employees in Architecture/engineering occupations.
• 72.6 percent of the employees in the Life, physic and social science occupations.
• 71.8 percent of the employees in the Community and Social service occupations.
• 82.1 percent of the employees in the Legal occupations.
• 78.7 percent of the Education, training and library occupations.
• 79.7 percent of the Arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations.
• 79 percent of the police officers.
• 80.6 percent of the Detectives and criminal investigators.
• 66.8 percent of of the correction officers and jailers.9

Right now, whites are approximately 60 percent of the American population. Whites have been traditionally overrepresented in every occupation. That's why DEI was created. It was designed to stop racism. White privilege allows whites to complain because they don't get every job, and the white controlled courts listen to these invalid cases then rule based n their racist opinion. The fight against equal opportunity policies is a prime example of how systemic racist operates in this country.

Finally, whites hve benefited the most from policies such as DEI. Specifically, white women. They are the ones who have been the disproportinate amount of employees. THE OPPOSITION TO DEI IS RACIST. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

It's true, whites are more qualified than blacks.

Trump created the best job market for blacks and they dont vote for him? You cant cure stupid

You should know, because that is just a straight up lie.

You should know, because that is just a straight up lie.

President Trump signed the historic FIRST STEP ACT into law.

• 90 percent of those who have had their sentences reduced are Black Americans.
• FIRST STEP ACT shortens mandatory minimum sentence for nonviolent drug crimes.
• The law allows offenders sentenced under racially motivated mandatory minimums to petition for revaluation
• President Trump launched the "Ready to Work" Initiative, which helps released prisoners gain meaningful employment.
• President Trump has proposed the Second Step Act to partner with corporate America to create opportunities for former prisoners to rejoin society.

Black Americans are seeing unprecedented levels of economic success with record low unemployment rates, more jobs, and higher incomes.

• Over 1.4 million more Black Americans have found a job between President Trump's election and February 2020.
• Black poverty reached a historic low in 2019.
• President Trump designated 8,760 Opportunity Zones that are projected to spur $100 billion in private investment in minority communities.
• The Trump administration established a fund to deploy $1 billion in capital funding for minority-owned businesses through the Commerce Department.

President Trump called on Congress to pass school choice legislation to expand educational opportunities for all American children, especially those in our nation's inner cities.

Trump did not do that. But he told crowds of whites in his rallies he did an you racists believed him. You can't cure stupid.

As the chart shows you, Black unemployment was constantly faling due to Oma n Trump was handed that and it kept falling but it was not due to Trump. Futhermore Biden did even more than Obama did for us.

So stop being white trying to tell somebody black about what was done for black people. Your dumb ass can't even see how Trump is messing up stuff for you whites in this country.

The flaw is covid is included in the Trump graph but look how bad Obama sucked. When will you learn how to read a graph.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black unemployment rate reached a then-record low of 5.3% in August and September 2019 under President Trump. This was the lowest rate recorded for Black Americans since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking the data in 1972.
Gotcha again

The first step was a Cory Booker presentation. Again, stop being white, thinking you can tell us what Trump did for blacks. .We know what Trump did, and it was less than Obama an especialy Biden. Trump tried to zero out HBCU funds. Trump worked to gut the civil rights department in his first term. Opportunity zones failed and most of them were in rural white areas. STFU you dumb racist.....

Bidens inflation hurt blacks and crime increased.
Trump was good for blacks
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black unemployment rate reached a then-record low of 5.3% in August and September 2019 under President Trump. This was the lowest rate recorded for Black Americans since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking the data in 1972.

• January 2017 (Inauguration): The Black unemployment rate was 7.6%.
• Pre-Pandemic Low: The rate gradually fell, reaching its lowest point of 5.3% in August and September 2019.
• February 2020 (Just before pandemic impact): The rate was 6.1%.

The gains made during this period were largely reversed by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which hit Black and Hispanic workers disproportionately hard. The Black unemployment rate spiked to a peak of 16.7% in April 2020.

I really wish I could use the language this white ignorant deserves to read. Again, black unemployment was dropping before Trump took office, and was a trend that started before Trump's puffed-up white ass sat in the Oval Office. Black unemployment was dropping before Trump floate own the escalator. Trump did nothing to make it happen. Furthermore, Biden set the recrord during his presidency and he did so after recovering from the pandemic and was not handed a record economy with already dropping black unemployment.

Stick with what you know, son-white grievnce an white victimhood. Don't try debating issues regarding black folks.

I think I would know better what hurt us than some white racist pos.

I would suggest that your white ass stop trying to tell me what was good for blacks.

Because if Trump was so good for us, 85 percent of us would have voted for him in 2024. If Trump had been so good for us, 85 percent of us would have voted for him in 2020. What Trump was good for, was telling stupid whites like you that he was doing great things for black people. That's why his punk ass has never held a rally in the hood.

Get married first then have children Man shoud stay in the home as fathers. Stop killing each other
If you werent so indoctrinated you would stop voting for democrats who are the new slave owners

You would support Boomer T Washington not WE Dubois
If you were smart...... I think I found the problem

“Joblessness for Black workers is rising again, two years after reaching a record low. It’s a troubling indicator: Joblessness often spikes higher for historically marginalized groups during economic downturns, and takes longer to fall.

This time, the Trump administration’s assault on diversity programs and cuts to the federal work force could make it even more difficult for Black workers to recover when conditions improve.

The African American unemployment rate has surged over the past four months, from 6 to 7.5 percent, while the rate for white people ticked down slightly to 3.7 percent. On top of a slowing economy, the White House’s actions have disproportionately harmed Black workers, economists said.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/business/economy/black-unemployment-federal-layoffs-diversity-initiatives.html?

Trump supporters will of course lie about this being ‘fake news.’

It’s not.

Trump’s assault on diversity programs is having the desired outcome.

I suspect firing 160,000 federal employees this year included more than 12% black workers

Tell that to the single white women in the suburbs all over America who don't get alimony from their white husbands who run off an leave them with the kids. Tell that to the white families of children killed by white mass shooters and white drunk drivers.

Booker T Washingtons plan did not work. He ended up watching black communities getting burned down by whites. DuBois founded the organization that stopped Jim Crow. So if I am smart, I don't listen to the suggestions of a white man when it comes to issues pertaining to blacks

This is nothing but right-wing propaganda and lies.

8.3%
As of November 2025, the Black unemployment rate has risen to 8.3%, which is the highest since August 2021. This increase reflects the disproportionate impact of the economic slowdown on Black workers, with rates for Black men and women showing significant rises during this period. The unemployment rate for Black men has jumped from 6.6% in September to 7.5% in November, while Black women's rate has increased from 7.1% to 7.1%.
