One thing nobody will ever mention is that only about 1 in 10 if that work in the private sector. Would not be surprised to find the stats being more like 1 in 20. If it were not for government jobs there really wouldn’t be a black middle class at all. This is a major failing that is not up for discussion.
That’s a very good point
But I really love your tag line :-)
True.
“If it were not for government jobs there really wouldn’t be a black middle class at all.”
You’ve noticed that too, huh?
Whenever the Dumbocrats start talking about their intention to “create jobs” (which isn’t the government’s job anyway) what they really mean is, they’re gonna create more gubbermint employees to manage the exponential rise in the number of poor people they’re creating at the same time.
A degree in social work is highly sought after by blacks. The degree leads to a decent paying state job with excellent benefits, and best of all, a generous pension.
Raise taxes! Hire more tax collectors!
More people on food stamps, housing, disability —yay! — requires more caseworkers, clerks, administrators!
Families falling apart? More domestic violence workers, more child protective services!
Addicts need state counselors, homeless shelters and halfway houses need staff!
Societal collapse creates jobs! Who knew?
And btw, a significant number of the social worker jobs are held by black women.
This parallels the breakdown of the family, and the pushing of the feminist agenda.
The utter disenfranchisement of black men has transformed the black community into a matriarchy.
A return of manufacturing, steel, construction, oil —men’s jobs—will go a long way toward building up the black middle class, and returning fathers as heads of households.
