The belief that white people deserve to be punished for their perceived sins has taken deep root in the modern Democratic Party, and some, like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, are using their positions of power to engage in open discrimination.
In remarks that have gone viral on social media, the embattled Democrat proudly boasts about how he only hires black people, suggesting that whites are inferior to the most “generous” race on God’s green Earth.
Johnson’s remarks came during a recent event in which he justified the race-based hiring philosophy of hiring only blacks for the majority of the powerful positions in his office.

“There are detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people,” Hizzoner said.
“No, what I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet,” Johnson insisted, to a loud round of applause from the crowd, which was greatly pleased. “I don’t know too many cultures that have play cousins. That’s how generous we are. We just make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are.”
“So, Business and Economic Neighborhood Development, the deputy mayor, is a black woman. Department of Planning and Development is a black woman. Infrastructure, deputy mayor, is a black woman. Chief Operations Officer is a black man. Budget Director is a black woman. Senior Advisor is a black man,” he said, gloating about keeping whitey out of the top positions in an office that has come under intense criticism from residents over its mismanagement of the Windy City which may have been better served if he stuck to merit-based hiring.
Johnson also bragged that he doles out construction contracts based on skin color.

The mayor’s ringing endorsement of what would seem to be illegal discrimination drew a strong response from X users.
I’m pretty sure that’s against the law

So let’s get this straight…. if a white mayor said they only hired white staff because of a racial trait, they’d be forced to resign before the press conference ended.
But when Brandon Johnson does it, it’s called “equity.” When do we stop pretending this isn’t discrimination…

They don’t even hide their racism anymore, they’re proud of it.

How to say you’re racist without saying you’re racist.#Chicago #BrandonJohnson https://t.co/mNIHuotQU4

If a white mayor said and did this, it would be a national uprising. Why is this racism OK?

It explains why Chicago is in the shit it’s in now

Sounds illegal. Yet this racist Democrat will not be held accountable for violating Americans’ civil rights.

Chicago pulled off the nearly impossible. They fired the worst mayor in the city’s history… and immediately hired someone even worse. It’s like escaping a burning building and running into a snake pit.

Racist being racist

Chicago remains a crime-ridden hellhole under Johnson’s stewardship, and he has done the impossible by making residents long for the good old days when Lori Lightfoot was in charge at City Hall.
In a poll taken earlier this year, Johnson posted a sub-putrid approval number of 6.8 percent, staking his claim as the worst mayor in America.
