Any ism (sex or race) is directly tied to earning. Black women are the easiest target as we are the first ones that are seen as "unqualified" despite data that shows the opposite. Women overcompensate in getting certifications and degrees because we are trying to bridge the gap with men who have the power to employ.

That this number indicates an impending recession further denotes my premise that if one group suffers, we all suffer, but of course being black, we suffer more.

Other countries are opening their doors. Something to consider.

This started with targeted attacks against Black women in leadership roles in education in 2020. Attacks against CRT and Nicole Hannah Jones weaponized misogynoir and allowed the GOP to remove many Black women from educational leadership roles post George Floyd. They guessed correctly that folks would not stand up and protect these women (and some men). Dr. Claudine Gay is one of the most visible targets. Seeing that many liberals were silent in. Calling this out, they have since expanded their attacks outside education and in the private sector.
