Chicago’s new mayor ran on racism. Now he’s delivering racism.
Daniel Greenfield August 28, 2023
“This is about black labor versus white wealth. That’s what this battle is about,” Brandon Johnson framed the mayoral election as a race war at a debate with his opponent. Johnson, a top official at Chicago’s radical teachers’ union, had plenty of money. As a Cook County Commissioner, Johnson was already earning $100,000 a year, another $100,000 from the Chicago Teachers Union, plus $25,000 for his work as a lobbyist.
He’s also eligible for a $1.1 million pension for teaching for only four years. It wasn’t about wealth, it was about race. Behind in the polls due to his pro-crime stance, Johnson made the campaign into a series of racist taunts, smears and accusations. Johnson charged his opponent with being “dismissive of a black man” and claimed that critics of his pro-crime policies were engaging in “yet another attack on a black man as an elected leader”.
And racism paid off for Johnson.........However you translate it, Chicago is a disaster. Crime is up 39% as people are being cut up, cut down, shot and beaten by opportunity-starved youths, and a potential budget shortfall is approaching $1 billion. 42% of the city’s budget is going to pensions and interest on debt........... 80,000 people left Chicago in two years. By the time Johnson finishes running it into the ground, there’ll be even less separating Chicago from Detroit................. To Read More...
