The Real-time Collateral Damage from the Apathetic and Ignorant Black Remnant, and the Stroke of a Pen from a Nazi Sympathizer in the White House
by Nickie Chance
Context Behind the Real-time Damage
If you are black in America and did not vote, take a bow. If you are black in America and voted for Donald Trump, take a bow. Collectively, with Donald Trump, you have been instrumental in the serious, real-time damage inflicted on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Pew Research Center estimates that 15% of that remnant are in that camp; a remnant that would have made the difference between Black America continuing to benefit from the rights fought for and died for over the past 60-plus years and experiencing those rights on life support at the hands of a Nazi-sympathizing president.
Consider this, then. Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election by 1.5 percentage points, which equates to approximately 2.4 million votes. The apathetic and ignorant Black remnant camp is estimated at 6.8 million people. Meditate on that for a moment! In the words of God to Cain after slaying his brother, “What have you done?”
Releasing the Kracken on Civil Rights
On November 5, 2025, that remnant enabled Donald Trump to release the Kracken against the foundation for civil rights laid by the Martins, Malcolms, Medgars, and Thurgoods of this nation. On September 15, 2025, six months after I left the agency as a federal investigator, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidance to all area, local and district office directors that the agency will discharge any complaints based on “disparate impact liability,” a legal concept that argues that even if a policy looks fair on the surface, it can still be discriminatory if it creates unnecessary barriers that make it harder for certain groups of people to succeed. This edict follows the Executive Order 14281: “Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy,” signed on April 23, 2025, by “The Donald.” The impact of this assault on civil rights law, and particularly the Black community, has been swift and perpetually devastating in every aspect of social welfare in America.
Education
-
Department of Education has begun reviewing race-conscious admissions policies and standardized testing practices.
-
Investigations into school discipline disparities and resource allocation based on racial outcomes are being paused or restructured.
Housing
-
HUD (Housing and Urban Development) is reassessing rules that previously flagged zoning laws or lending practices for disproportionately affecting minority communities.
-
Civil rights groups fear this could roll back protections against redlining and discriminatory tenant screening.
Employment
-
The EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) is revisiting enforcement actions tied to hiring tests, promotion criteria, and workplace policies that had disparate racial or gender outcomes.
-
Employers may now feel less pressure to adjust neutral policies that result in unequal representation.
Boots on the Ground View of the Damage
To highlight the Black community’s culpability in where we are in this 21st-century civil rights struggle and how we got here is imperative. Context matters! I attempted to give you a brief general view of the immediate fallout and the ongoing damage in progress. However, let me provide an insider’s perspective and what it looks like on the ground as I pen this article.
At the time I left the agency, EEOC, on March 3, 2025, the Dallas District office had already exceeded 12,000 in backlogged claims. Add to this madness the implementation of Trump’s executive order, the longest government shutdown in our history, and the mounting backlog of the federal and state courts; this is just a sample of what you will experience if you are seeking justice at this very hour.
Attorney Representation
When I started at EEOC in June of 2023, we had an attorney referral list that was three pages long, and many of the attorneys provided pro bono service. At last count, the list was down to 13 total, to which pro bono was a thing of the past. A lot of unemployment and civil rights attorneys in the metroplex are either not taking cases or have abandoned employment law altogether. If you do secure an attorney, be prepared to pay up to 45% of the reward.
In-Person Filing
Before the government shutdown, EEOC had reduced walk-in filings from 4 to 2, which began at 8 am; however, the line usually starts forming at 6 am.
The good thing about mankind is that we can change, and if we flunk life’s test the day before and we open our eyes tomorrow, we can take that test again and get it right. To the apathetic and ignorant Black American remnant, be it God’s will and His grace covers you to live to November 3, 2026, you can repent and change. For the Nazi sympathizer who used the power of the pen to exact this damage and much irreparable harm, he cannot seek a third term. To all who read this, the collateral damage is real; we have to fix it!
