White House Firing Black Staffers

Yesterday, two African-American White House staffers were relived of their positions. They were not given a reason why. Jefferson Jackson had been working as chief financial manager for catering operations since the Bush administration was informed that his services were no longer needed. “I came in at about six like I always do and I noticed I was having problems with my badge,” he said. “Then the manager called me into the office and said that I had been terminated.” Jefferson said he was devasted and was told they didn’t have to give him a reason. He believes that they are trying to make the White House truly white. “Every day you begin to see less and less color of any kind. It’s a bit scary-like a horror movie.” We reached out to the White House for comment but they declined.
