Whether it’s reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It’s all the news that’s fit to watch.
DEAR BLACK WOMEN.. IT'S TIME YOU START WORKING IN INTERDEPENDENCE WITH BLACK KINGS 👑 IN POLYGAMOUS EMPIRES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU!!!
It’s due in part of y’all’s attitude!! People don’t like dealing with black women because y’all are rude.. don’t believe me look it up🙄
This is all the backlash to the "I dont need a man" woman, especially black. You no longer will be able to depend on the government. Get fit, friendly, and cooperative. Find you a man.
What’s the yt man name, that wanted to cancel financial resources, for blk women entrepreneurs?? They despise us.
This is why I told my family 10 years ago to learn a trade. I just started my own business and it is heavily supported by a diverse group of neighbors who love helping small businesses. We should have never depended on DEI jobs from the start. We made ourselves easy targets. I only started my business after being runoff my job by my Mega loving boss on inauguration day. Instead of looking for another job, I took the $200 I had left and started a business in my living room, grooming, dogs. and now I’m working out of a converted shed. My white landlord was nice enough to install the electricity for me and even sent clients my way. The one thing I learned growing up in different neighborhoods whether it was predominately white or predominantly black not everyone is hateful and some people will support hard work.
A lot of women steal from the job.
The previous administration added government jobs so that they could take credit for "creating jobs". They also chose women of color so that they could take credit for improving the lives of women of color. Those jobs have been proven to be unnecessary and are now being cut. They aren't victims of the current administration, they are victims of being played by the past administration.
The problem is that nobody can get along with Black Women in the workplace. The drama, the retaliation and resentful attitudes along with a self entitlement is impossible to deal with in a team like effort in a work space environment. It's not that color of your skin. It's the fact that nobody can figure out how to tolerate you.
Thank god !! Shrink the federal government. It’s massive bureaucracy of corruption with federal union employees.
Two fields you can get work in all 50 states everyday and can guarantee AI will never replace. I know because I've done both over 30 years and the demand is still there as of Novembber 2025.
1. Home health care workers for senior citizens and disabled
2. Special Education Staff: Education Specialists, Instructional Aides, Speech therapists, etc
BLACK WOMEN NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND COLLECTIVELY TORCH EVERY WICKED, RACIST AND OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM IN AMERICA!!!
We BLACK WOMEN have FED THE WORLD (naturally, spiritually, emotionally, environmentally, psychologically, and financially).
We BLACK WOMEN were FORCED to latch white babies onto our breasts.
We BLACK WOMEN were FORCED to get into those fields from sunup to sundown and purpose, plant, plow, packing, preserve and passion.
We BLACK WOMEN were FORCED to cook in their white kitchens and make sure their families were healthy and nutritionally wealthy.
We BLACK WOMEN birthed success, scholars, superiority, dominance, exceptionality, innovation, inventions and ingenuity and whites benefit, profit, advance and gain generational wealth off of our mastery, contributions, skills, talents and creativity.
There would be NO USa without US!
All the ladies independent…. 🎵 🎶
Why not work as hard as others. Quit relying on DEI to carry you
Why don't they ask their Fathers and Husbands for help? Oh, never mind I had my glasses off and my volume on mute. I didn't realize that this video was about black women.
We need to take the knowledge and education, and build our own. Pull our monies out.
So we can’t turn to black men for job . Haha oh black man finished people .
🤣
Because you're incompetent and conflictual.
DEI is one of the most corrupt, unfair and discriminatory policies ever……. Against the skilled, more qualified and more educated workers, if they are white, yellow or Hispanic. You’re hired for what you know and fired for who you are. All this No child left behind, being marked on a curve, everyone gets a trophy…. and a degree or diploma BS💩 and concessions that were handed out in early life is truly a lie and a false sense of ability . You can fool some of the people all time but you can’t fool all the people every time. In the real world you have be able to walk the walk and the freebies one was granted earlier in life doesn’t make you the best qualified person. …….. nor are you entitled to reparations 🫵👎🤮
Them govt jobs
They must realize the underlining factors of these layoffs and pivot into the lucrative field of Hospitality Service industries. No time to lick wounds just ACT not React in a society structured to marginalize and control vulnerable demographics. Keep moving forward.
We don’t need DEI
I voted for trump because I was being treated like a political enemy for years. I now realized no matter who’s in office the harassment and psychological warfare against my child and I will not stop. So I’ll be the first to say, I’m sorry.
It was intentional. It was planned.
Yeah but theres no tax on overtime 😊
Sad
Most of those government jobs are just bloat. Time to get other skills!
"How many of the wage class, as a class, are there who can avoid obeying the commands of the master (employing) class, as a class? Not many, are there?
Then are you not slaves to the money power as much as were the black slaves to the Southern slaveholders? Then we ask you again: What are you going to do about it? You had the ballot then. Could you have voted away black slavery? You know you could not because the slaveholders would not hear of such a thing for the same reason you can’t vote yourselves out of wage-slavery." Lucy Parsons
Black fatigue
Who fckn cares. DEI is dead.
It's so stupid to where going to work is not safe for anyone who is black.
Dei 😂😂
All men doesn’t include black men. Look at the percentage of
