I've seen the past exonerative tense before, but the present continuous exonerative tense is special!
"Black women's unemployment is rising."🤡
All by itself? Magically?
The entire US, Dem and GOP, is going on close to 24 months straight of being publicly and loudly anti-civil rights (anti-DEI).
"Black women are more likely to work in the departments targeted by DOGE."
is like saying,
"Harbor seals are more likely to be found swimming in the water that happens to be rushing into a great white shark's rapidly opening mouth."🤡
Dudes have been open and vocal about their desire to drive Black women out of leadership positions in the federal government, higher education, and private industry. That's their goal.
And yet, we still talk about these outcomes as if they're just an unfortunate side effect of generalized downturns.
