If it wasn't for the federal government, they wouldn't have gotten out from Jim Crow. They wouldn't have equal rights in hiring decisions. If you talk to minorities, you'll find that they are not fond of local governments or businesses, but they do trust the federal government to help them because that has been the only group that has done so. You'll note a lot of minorities prefer the federal government to take power from states for just that reason.
