The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into hiring practices at the city of Chicago, according to a letter shared on social media and sent to the Chicago mayor’s office.

The probes announcement Monday came a day after Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke at a Chicago church to outline his vision for the remainder of his term. During the speech, Johnson praised the number of Black people in top positions in his administration. The speech garnered immediate attention on social media, including calls from conservatives and others to investigate.

rac·ism
the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another

"What I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else,” Johnson, who is black, told the predominantly black congregation at the Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn on Sunday.
“We are the most generous people on the planet"

Sounds pretty racist to me, Sherbros...

The unifying president, rooting out racism in a crime ridden and known as. Basically the most corrupt city in the country. Corruption with the voter rolls, the use of tax payer money, straight up racist grift like this. Can we please just have a merit based society where people are held accountable. MAGA

Disgruntled white people when talking about white business owners or the current Administration: "I dont believe anyone should be forced to hire any particular race of people!! America is about freedom and people should be able to hire whomever they please! DEI is wrong!!"

Disgruntled white people when talking about black leaders: "I find it absolutely disgusting and racist that this person is hiring whomever they want. Big Government should intervene immediately!!!"

Now do leftists when white people exclude black people from the hiring pool vs when black people exclude white people.

Doesn’t sound like qualified people of every race have the same opportunity to get contracts from Brandon Johnson

Ahem

The unifying president,

one of trump's online cumrags has spoken.

Dude looks like frankenberry and count chocula had a kid.

And no one is surprised. This guy is as bad as the last one-beetlejuice, only he is not as low key about it. Half of chicago is a war zone, the other half is reportedly very nice. With his power appointments based upon race, you will see decisions made that harm the good half like the example in the video of favoritism towards blacks.

When I really decided I disliked this guy was when dexter reed was shot by police after shooting an officer-this fuck actually went to their home to grieve with them before he visited the officer in the hospital who had what looked like a possible career ending or damaging shot to the wrist.

Well, that strawman of a statement was cute and all, but wrong. DEI rewards people based upon their race and I would say uncontrollable features like sex, but that is no longer true-so now those that alter their sex get preference. DEI and mayor Johnson’s policies are “anyone but a white male” for the job. I fucking hate trump, but he is right on dei. And johnson bragging about how he only hires black people for his higher positions is wrong and most likely, illegal.

The mayor is an inspiration

If this idiot can attain political office then anyone can

I think we'd be fine with it if it was a two way street.

But it isn't.

Remember when he pardoned Blago....good times

 

[lsa]

that was the wrong thing to do.
And yes I think its bad when you hire people based on colour, be it white, brown or black or... green.

 

[HereticBD]

This guy is a fucking gong show. I can't wait to see the even dumber person they elect after him.

Would you be okay with a White mayor only hiring White people and citing a belief that White people are in some way better as the reason?

Don't you know? Black people are useless apparently and need all the help they can get to achieve anything. Apparently. I mean, it's clearly not the case, but still here we are, watching them go through life having their hand held and being viewed as children.

 

[Xanzito]

Now do leftists when white people exclude black people from the hiring pool vs when black people exclude white people.

Do leftists when there are white refugees too.
