President Woodrow Wilson's administration segregated the federal workforce by race, limiting Black civil servants' access to white-collar positions. This policy was a blow to Black Americans' rights and a sign of official approval for Jim Crow laws in the South.

How it happened

    • Wilson's cabinet was allowed to segregate their departments.
    • The Postmaster General ordered his Washington offices to be segregated.
    • The Treasury and Navy soon followed.
    • The government began requiring photographs on civil service applications.
What it meant

    • Black civil servants earned less than white civil servants.
    • Black professional advancement was halted.
    • Black employees were reassigned to menial positions or divisions slated for elimination.
    • Black employees were segregated into separate or screened-off work areas.
    • Black employees were segregated into segregated lavatories and lunchrooms.
Wilson's response
    • Wilson defended segregation as being in the best interest of Black workers.
    • Wilson said the purpose of segregation was to reduce friction among government workers.
    • Wilson fired Black federal employees in Southern cities who protested the order.

What does ending DEI tell the Black people?

Tells them that they're not special because of their skin color. DEI is just another term for Equity, affirmative Action, reparations,
or as another way of degrading the best people who use Meritocracy and a higher qualification so that DEI implants the less qualified
people into the jobs they may be seeking. DEI is now DOA, as it should have been a long time ago. As if you lefties weren't happy
enough with having people share your radical ideology by living off the welfare government teat from cradle to grave, you now, need
to go full whacko by insisting that less qualified people (whether their black or Asian et al) get to rise to the top of the economic ladder
just because they're black.

Plenty of Black people have higher qualifications. Do you deny it?

LOL. Trump is anything but a racist. I've noticed that you radical lefties both here and at the lame street media have
stopped calling Trump Hitler. Gee, I wonder why. DEI is getting thrown out of so many large corporations that its too
long to list here. How you can say Trump is racist for getting rid of that taxpayers hell in paying for DEI is beyond comprehension.
DEI is the perfect example of RACISM.

Nobody stopped calling Trump Hitler.

MAGA means going back to what it was Ike in the 50's.

Complaining how Kamala shop is proof.
