Chicago
celebrated ‘Juneteenth’ with 40 shootings. The Windy City kept up a
Father’s Day weekend in which 71 people were shot by fatherless young
men in a city where 8 out of 10 black children are born to single mothers. And in which it’s all the fault of “systemic racism”.
Over
in Daley Plaza, Mayor Brandon Johnson (pictured above) raised the
‘Juneteenth flag’ created by an activist who wanted the black parts of
Boston to secede and form a new city named ‘Mandela’.
But who needs Mandela, when you’ve got Chicago?
“God
bless the blackest city in the world,” Johnson, a radical who has
presided over massive crime and enjoys an approval rating of 28%, declared.
With
a 28% black population, Chicago isn’t even the blackest city in
Illinois, let alone the U.S. or the world. And the black population has
fallen by 400,000 since the 80s. Hispanics are actually the second
largest group in Chicago, but since 60% of them disapprove
of him, it’s understandable why he didn’t want to mention them. Or the
68% of white people who oppose the former teachers’ union operative.
Mayor
Johnson is so hated that he’s barely breaking even with black voters.
And so he announced that Chicago, which has over $50 billion in pension
debt, will be spending $500,000 to study racial reparations.
The mayor picked Carla Kupe, a Congolese immigrant from Luxembourg who only came to America in 1997, to be the new
Chief Equity Officer. Kupe, a graduate of the Lycee Classique de
Diekirch in Luxembourg, a Certified Diversity Professional, a board
member of the Illinois Diversity Council, a Dean’s Diversity Council
Member at Loyola, and the Director of DEI at the City of Chicago Office
of Inspector General where she created “27 racial equity action plans
for city departments”, will play a major role in the new reparations
program that will finally end “systemic racism” in Chicago.
2 black mayors, 3 black police chiefs, and 23 black aldermen haven’t done it, but DEI will.
Meanwhile,
two dozen people were shot in 5 hours. There were two mass shootings in
1 hour. After the Juneteenth event, a 4-year-old was shot and taken to
the hospital in critical condition.
“It is now the time to
deliver good on reparations for the people of Chicago, particularly
black people,” Mayor Johnson rambled, claiming he was “committed to
driving reparations home”.
Johnson is a former teacher in a public school system where only 25% of
students passed the English Language Arts exam, but teacher salaries
now top a princely $100,000. Current contract demands by Johnson’s CTU
union include $145,000 salaries, 45 days off, free weight loss surgery
and abortions. And none of them, including the mayor, know basic
grammar.
At Daley Plaza, Johnson blamed everything on the “legacy
of slavery” even though the Illinois constitution banned slavery and
was the birthplace of a man named Abe who ended slavery.
Johnson’s examples included closing “black schools”, shutting down “public housing”.
Mayor Johnson then announced,
“I apologize for the historic wrongs committed against black people in
Chicago. On behalf of the city of Chicago, we apologize.” Reparations
will “unlock the doors of prosperity to fully flow through the
neighborhoods that have been disinvested in.”
What does that look like? More criminals roaming the streets.
The
$500,000 reparations commission (in a city where children go hungry)
will conduct “a comprehensive study and examination of all policies that
have harmed black Chicagoans from slavery era to present day” and
“develop educational tools to build capacity within the City of Chicago
and the public for reparations.”
Like what? In a city suffering
from mass murders on a weekly basis, the answer will be to once again
unleash the criminals. Core areas targeted by the reparations committee
will include “mass incarceration and over-policing.”
While Mayor Johnson promotes his pro-crime agenda, on the South Side of Chicago, Alderman David Moore set up a tent in boiling hot weather and announced that he was camping out on the street to bring attention to the drug dealing in his community.
Moore was streaming his one-man protest on Facebook until someone opened fire nearby. “Shots were just fired on the block. Threats were made to us.”
“We’ve
got to un-cuff the hands of the police,” Moore argued. “We can’t take
the tools away from CPD, and I encourage this administration not to.”
Who has a better answer to help black people in Chicago: Mayor Johnson or Alderman Moore?
Would
the black people of Chicago benefit from “underpolicing” or
“overpolicing”? What’s better: mass incarceration or two mass shootings
in one hour?
Does Carla Kupe, the new Chief Equity Officer
(She/Sie/Elle/Ella) “Anti-Racism/Coloniality, Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion, & Belonging Expert”, have an answer to 4-year-olds being
shot?
Slavery reparations continue to be pursued in places like San Francisco, Detroit and
Chicago, where the local laws always banned slavery, and the problem
isn’t the “legacy of slavery”, but the everyday reality of violent crime
unleashed and empowered by pro-crime politicians.
Children are
being shot while a commission will study the entire history of Chicago
when it would be far more useful to study the drug dealers and gunmen
roaming the city today.
“Chicago still bears the scars of
systemic racism and injustices that have been inflicted on our
communities,” Mayor Johnson conspiratorially claimed. “The disinvestment
in our communities have been intentional.” Who was responsible for
Johnson’s illiteracy except his own profession?
To quote another Chicago politician, “we are the ones we have been waiting for.”
The scars aren’t from systemic racism, they’re bullet scars.
227
people have already been murdered and 1,175 were wounded in Chicago so
far this year. (The Johnson administration hailed this as good news.)
There were over 800 sexual assaults, over 4,000 robberies and over 3,000
aggravated batteries as part of over 14,415 violent crime
victimizations. This isn’t systemic racism, it’s good old-fashioned
human evil.
A look at the Victims Equity dashboard shows who’s bleeding.
71% of the victims in shootings (in a 28% black city) are black.
78% of murder victims are black. Only 3.5% are white.
49% of sexual assault victims are black. Only 16% are white.
56%
of aggravated assault victims are black. 45% of carjacking victims are
black. 50% of human trafficking victims are black. And in most of these
cases so are the perpetrators.
How will Diversity, Equity and Inclusion fix this?
Corrupt
radicals like Mayor Brandon Johnson feed the poison of hate, pride and
victimhood to disguise their role in this state of misery. DEI isn’t the
solution, it’s the problem. When people are led to believe that they
can’t and shouldn’t control themselves, they won’t.
That is the real Chicago way.
