Mayor Brandon Johnson
...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's public schools system. He became an organizer with the Chicago Teachers Union in 2011, and helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Hizzonner, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodlng Commissioners from 2018 to 2023...delivered a bizarre rant shoehorning slavery and racism against black people into the discussion of the criticism he is facing from black Chicagoans for opening a growing list of shelters for illegals in their neighborhoods and for redirecting funds and services from black communities to serve the border crossers there.
They never get tired of that stuff, do they? Makes it easier to understand why Africa's such a mess; they don't have anything to talk about.
From the podium on Friday, Johnson attempted to misdirect criticism he faces from black Chicagoans for his efforts to house, feed, clothe, and give medical care for free to thousands of illegal aliens by trying to characterize critics as racists who don’t "love" black people.
I'm a sinner. I don't "love" black people. Not fond of Esquimeaux as a group either.
"I’m doing my part to continue to make sure that Chicagoans who have been in this city, who have needed support, and particularly our black families. I know there has been a tremendous burden, particularly on black Chicago," he said adamantly.
He's mare of Chi, but particularly black Chi, y'see. Lori was more inclusive. She was mare of black and lesbian Chi.
"I am fully aware of that. Yeah, I know where I live.
That'd be black Chi.
"Yeah, I know how many schools have been shut down in Austin (not Texas), mental health clinics. Administration after administration has taken away from black people. Not mine."I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? I don't speak gibberish very well.
The mayor’s claim is difficult to reconcile since he is taking heat for ordering city officials to shut down parks and field houses and shutting down services and programs in black communities to use those buildings and resources to house migrants colonists.
In just the last week, Johnson’s administration was blasted by black residents in the West Side neighborhood of Galewood for shutting down their community park district field house and handing the facility over to the illegals.
Chicagoans in the Austin Neighborhood also met to protest the use of their field house for
The protests to close the Austin district’s Amundsen Park field house grew loud enough for Johnson to temporarily put the plans to redirect the facility to
Despite the criticism, Johnson went on with his disjointed tirade in an attempt to soften criticism among black communities over his plans to house
"And I want to make this point very clear, as well," he said from the podium. "We’re trying to make sure that
Johnson then tried to cajole his audience into thinking he was prioritizing the black community and evoked slavery and racism to try and shame critics.
He growled:
And to compare the needs of black people to individuals who are being forced out of their countries because of bad foreign policy who are living on floors — comparing the conditions in which descendants of slaves have had to endure to
Of course, few of the millions of
