Without government jobs, black labor and the black middle class would be absolutely screwed

[I Really Mean It]

The disproportionate number of black people in the public sector is one of the main things driving the Republican effort to shrink government.

 

[Rawtid]

Truth.

 

[Koli_Kat]

Racist ass private companies don't hire blacks
Except for a token one or two here or there
Start your own business/work for the city/government has always been the default for a lot of us

Nothing new/end thread

The disproportionate number of black people in the public sector is one of the main things driving the Republican effort to shrink government.

At the end of the day most of the high tier positions in government are still mostly white.

why you think cacs in the 80's started bytching about how the government is too big

A job is a job. They have good unions, so no reason to knock it. You stay long enough and you make bank.
I feel a way seeing a majority of package delivery people being black. If they are young I can understand, but seeing a dude 40+ being a bike messenger kinda sucks.

That's not just black people that's everyone lol.

But Civil Service positions provide good benefits and retirement. They want blacks out of those jobs so their cac cronies can have them. If not eliminate them all together.



When Republicans cry about "Big Government" they never mean the bloated Dept of Defense budget.

They usually mean agencies like the Post Office and you know who works those jobs.

not enough discussion on this topic IMO

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

Why do you think all these cacs are all for small government/government cuts?

 

[Dr. Acula]

I been known this. Private sector cacs will tell you straight up how you ain't nothing but a quota hire or they'll give you pity interview just to meet their numbers. And god help you if you rock either a fro, locks and a beard.

I mean I understand people are crazy out here, but did you actually have someone say this to you? You got a story to tell ? I'm sincerely interested.

Or are you just speaking in general.

 

[MostReal]

This is why Republicans always say that they want "small government"

They know exactly what they're doing

I’d be open to more direct evidence on this

Yep. Blacks started getting all those federal contracts in major cities too.

No it’s not. Black Americans have a larger share of their working population in public sector jobs than other demographics
