NY Times Front, Beyond Parody: ‘Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit’ by Trump Cuts
2nd September 2025
The headline on the front page of the Labor Day New York Times, “Black Women Most Affected By Trump Cuts,” was silly enough in its wokist immersion. but the online headline deck — “In Trump’s Federal Work Force Cuts, Black Women Are Among the Hardest Hit — President Trump has cut hundreds of thousands of jobs from the federal work force, disproportionately affecting Black employees” — was even more amusing.
It brought to mind the old joke about a hypothetical Times headline after nuclear Armageddon: “World Ends, Women & Minorities Hardest Hit.” (The paper’s reputation for knee-jerk liberalism goes back decades.)
The immediate suspicion is that these were DEI hires that were ill-qualified in the first place other than their sex and the color of their skin. That competent managers would get rid of them first is hardly surprising.
