Aren’t most federal employees black? At least a far higher percentage than what they represent in the country.

If it’s higher than 13% it shows institutional bias against other races. Someone needs to look into this... could be racism...

"Arent most federal employees black?"
No, but you have a point. When I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s, a lot of black men - including several prominent football players - had the first name "Roosevelt." I think it was NRO's Jonah Goldberg who pointed out that the shift of blacks from the Republican to the Democratic party did not occur - as popular myth would have it - because of Republican views on race during the civil rights era.
The shift actually began during the Roosevelt era, when the federal government opened up many jobs to blacks at a time when blacks still faced a great deal of discrimination in the private sector. So that began the common black attitude of seeing the federal government as a lifeline, and for most blacks supporting big government. And that's why - to this day - you still seem to see a disproportionate number of blacks in the federal bureaucracy.
The modern notion that blacks fled the Republican Party because of racism is a self-serving myth, both for blacks and for Democrats.
