You have slackers in all jobs, but only in federal gov't is it nearly impossible to get fired for being a slacker.
He won't even though for four long years the Biden admin made it priority #1 to hire almost solely based on DEI from the press secretary to his VP and Sec of Defense and on and on...of course they were hiring entry level positions in the government with that exact same mindset.Logos Stick said:

Some federal departments show Blacks make up 33% or more of the employees, yet they're only 14.8% of the total population. As a whole, they make up 18.5% of all federal employees.

Now they're worried about the harm to black workers with Trump slashing federal jobs and doing away with DEI. Seems like DEI, in this instance, should result in more non-Blacks getting recruited and hired, given the percentages above.
Why do people think a key role of the federal government is just to create jobs to hand out paychecks??
Are we really blaming black employees for the state of our government? Seems like bs scapegoating.

How can racial issues be addressed without open dialogue?

I love how the closet racists are revealing themselves, implying I'm referring to laziness or intelligence with my post, and not my real point being the government pushing DEI & DEI funding to the extent it does, as well as the outsized funding of social programs to a relatively small subset of the population. All of which is kept going and getting stronger because of the makeup of the government workforce which seeks to ensure its own survival and the survival of those it identifies with, to the detriment of the rest of the population. A base that votes overwhelmingly democrat, in a not shocking move at all, seeks to continue to grow the size of the government that by and large, funnels more money to themselves than any other. Which then basically ensures future voters also vote democrat, thereby expanding the government & DEI & social welfare programs even more. If your bills are paid by the government, along with your sons/daughters bills, your parents bills, your cousins bills, you're not going to bite the hand that feeds you. Rather, you're going to do everything you can to sustain it. A never ending spiral.
I'd have the same argument if the article mentioned that 33% of a particular department identified as transgender, versus the total population of transgenders in the US.

Nobody is calling out the black people themselves but the overrepresentation of them is indicative of DEI hiring. DEI is the policy of mental midgets. They are who is being called out/blamed for govt sucking badly.

So your argument is that a disproportionate number of a single demographic in a field of work is an indication that they've not earned that over representation?

My wife is an attorney and I have shared this before . But the wife worked for feds....won all sorts of awards for her work.. was a mentor to several new attorney hires and paralegals... When a supervisor job came open, for her group, the wife applied and everyone assumed she would get it. Instead, they hired a black man, non attorney, from out of state with no experience in her area. The office consensus was completely that the hire was dei.FCBlitz said:Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:AJ02 said:

You see…..that's the beauty of what has been created.
Tell me where I am wrong. Blacks on average do not come into the government work force with private sector experience. They are not coming in from private sector industry with 15 years of experience. The training they receive in government as engineers , accountant, HR are all learned in a government setting that doesn't train well, doesn't develop well, doesn't uphold high standards, doesn't hold accountability. Yet, this is the main labor pool the government pulls from to fill leadership positions.
Who are the ones that get most of the leadership positions? Blacks, gays, alt lifestyles, Mexicans….are the top 4 groups that get picked…..and it doesn't matter if they are not good at what they are presently doing.
So when you start pointing organizational failure, the person that needs to be held accountable usually isn't because they are a protected class and the moment accountability creeps in……there is someone ready to call you out as racist.
There is no cream that rises to the crop…
