Black Women Need To Be Fired

Trump is going to win. The compelling reason after last week’s unbelievable DNC that I use to combat the media circle-jerk is the media does not lead with her “electoral college” path to victory. Instead, they run the headlines of her mere popularity.

This post and its content is not about “we need to follow the rules”. This post is about how there are rules and what the rules (which everybody does currently follow) show (Trump winning) is not being highlighted by the media. Instead, they are avoiding the topic. This, of course, is their prerogative. Who are any of us to insist someone to drop support of their free choice?

Trump wins. Done deal. Might as well write the history books now.

And yet, for as long as I can remember, there has passed a sort-of life-truth among Whites: Black women cannot be fired.

I do not remember the first time I heard of this notion, but it was early. It was probably in high school, ‘96-‘99.

I definitely remember that while in the Air Force I first heard about “Gee-Ess” employees and how they could never be fired. Worse, the rumor was held that the under or non-performer would actually get promoted.

Again, this was just rumor—zeitgeist.

It must have been around 2005, then, that I heard that beyond GS employees not being able to be fired, if it was a Black woman who worked as a GS, she was literally untouchable. In my mind, for over two decades, right or wrong, I have believed that the situation was such that if a black woman was fired from a federal job, it would prompt a Supreme Court Decision.

Do you hear me, people?

Trump has won. It is a done deal.

And yet I am not blind to the fact that the obstacle in his path is a federally employed Black woman.

Clash. Of. The. Titans.

(Or one more example of it.)

Here’s my thought, my underlying not-distasteful philosophy: I want Black women to live abundantly. I want Black women to achieve beyond their highest aspirations. I wouldn’t care one iota if some super-power nation promoting and securing peace and prosperity for all mankind came to be and was led by Black women.

But I do not believe any of those things will ever happen until Black women are fired.

So, I say again, Black women need to be fired.
