African American White House Staffers Leaving in Mass ‘Blaxit’: Report
New York Post ^ | May 31, 2022 | Callie Patteson

More than 20 black White House aides have departed the Biden administration since late last year, an exodus some have dubbed “Blaxit,” according to a new report.

While some of the departing staffers have left on good terms to pursue additional career or educational opportunities, others have attributed the turnover to a lack of mentorship and opportunity, Politico reported Tuesday, citing nine black current and former White House officials.

“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,” one current staffer told the outlet. “There is no real feedback and there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.”

That’s bad...

...so bad.

funny, but (Charles Barkley voice) HOOORABLE.

Dave Chappelle can say that, but you can’t.

Sorry, but only us black folk can have senses of humor (giggle).

“others have attributed the turnover to a lack of mentorship and opportunity”

So they weren’t immediately given a seat at the adult table just based on affirmative action alone, and they got upset and quit.

If they didn’t learn that dems don’t care about them, much less TAKE care of them, as expected during Obama, they really are stupid.

Yup—Nursing home staff members take a lot of abuse from the residents and morale tends to be low.

The WH has become one big nursing home at this point.

With as much internal strife as this WhiteHouse and the Gov. has - not to mention within the dysfunctional Biden Crime family - I don't see even a mediocre future ahead for our country.

Burnout caring for Alzheimer patients is large....and if you’ve visited their Institutions you can quickly see why. Many work only 4 hour shifts because enduring further takes a huge toll.

I stayed two weeks, night and day with a family member to give her husband a break. It took everything I had to endure the outbursts, the anger, the frustrations and not being able to stop her suffering.....and suffer they do.

“The issues that are the highest priority for our community are no longer at the forefront of the administration’s priority list,” one current aide told Politico. “When 10 black people got killed at a grocery store [in Buffalo], it’s business as usual and no one stops to say to you, ‘Are you okay?’”

OMG - black snowflakes...

Like all commies, bi-sh*t only use for blacks is for window dressing. They have zero belief blacks can perform - ergo cradle to grave welfare, dumbing down schools, pretending crime is caused by ‘racism’. It’s their nature.

Exactly! I'd even wager that there are a team of 'em assigned to 'diaper patrol' for the Big Guy.

On the flip side, these black staffers believe they’re entitled to their position because of their skin color - after all, Affirm Action got them there bc of their tone.

“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,”

It's called getting a job in the White House, then going home and running for local office.

If you want to make decisions in politics, win an office.

there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.

You're only going to be there for four years. Even businesses don't promote that frequently.

“They brought in a ton of black people generally to start without ever establishing an infrastructure to retain them or help them be successful,”

OMG. What the heck did they expect. The WH is not supposed to be a teaching environment but an environment where the “aides” provide support for the key players. They also indicated that there were no mentors for them. That may have been true, but they also apparently only want black mentors. Why can’t the whites mentor them. Obviously these black aides should never have been put in any positon in the WH because they were not qualified and were unable to do the job without special treatment. Just more Affirmative Action failures.

You're all just window dressing.

____________

You mean like lots of work in the political field where getting and doing the job well is the path to the next job??

Is someone going to tell these folks that most work doesn’t have a clear promotion path, one makes it over time, and usually a number of jobs?
Sheeeez!
