Chicago Mayor Claims He Supports Black Community, Then Tarnishes Black High Court Justice

Mayor Johnson's mind has been poisoned with progressive ideology

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson constantly hurls baseless accusations that "racism" is behind every criticism of his reign of error at City Hall, and that he is the champion of the Chicago's black citizens, yet last week he was heard attacking one of the most important and successful black men in the country.

The mayor's partisan attack occurred after a journalist asked Johnson about a lawsuit Judicial Watch had filed over a slavery reparations program.

"When you said it wouldn't just benefit Blacks, especially foundational Black Americans, doesn't deviation from recently supported case law to institutions of higher learning, where Clarence Thomas laid out a legislative package, make the program unnecessarily vulnerable, status by race versus status by injured class?" the reporter said, according to Fox News.

However, instead of answering the question, Johnson elected to attack and demean the black Supreme Court judge.

"Yeah, I'm not aware of anything that Clarence Thomas has ever done that has benefited black people," Johnson ignorantly replied.

Johnson added: "There's no evidence that anything that the Justice has ever done on behalf of the interests of black people, or even marginalized people in general."

Johnson then finally deigned to speak to the lawsuit.

"But as far as any lawsuit against the City of Chicago as it relates to reparations, the whole point of reparations is to repair the harm that was done to black folks," Johnson bloviated. "That's what it's designed to do. As you might know, [the] Department of Justice, under the leadership of Donald Trump, is also suing the city of Chicago because of our efforts to right the wrongs of the past, particularly as it relates to descendants of slaves."

"They can't have it both ways. They can't accuse the City of Chicago of focusing solely on black folks while at the same time trying to make a claim that somehow we're doing the opposite of that," Johnson blared.

Johnson has been pandering as hard as he can to the black community with this nonsensical reparations foolishness. It's been his sop to the black community after taking every city dollar away from that same community so he could throw it all at illegal aliens.

One of the first things Johnson did in office back in 2024, was to sign an Executive Order establishing a Reparations Task Force that supposedly addresses "historical harms committed against Black Chicagoans and their ancestors through the form of reparations."

That would be an odd task, though. The city of Chicago never sanctioned slavery. Furthermore, most of the city's black population came during the Great Migration starting in the early 1900s when millions of blacks began leaving the South and moving to northern cities, including Chicago. So, the city’s black population wasn't ever really affected by "slavery" in Chicago, regardless.

Nonetheless, the truth is America has already paid reparations for slavery. After all, America atoned for the sins of slavery by losing nearly 700,000 lives on both sides of a bloody civil war over that very issue.

That aside, it is also entirely disgusting, even as this blowhard panders at blacks with fake slavery reparations programs, he uses that platform to attack one of America's most successful black men, merely because that particular black man does not kowtow to Johnson's hardcore, left-wing politics.

Indeed, Clarance Thomas is one of the best role models American blacks could have.

Thomas rose from an underprivileged youth by putting himself through college, earning his law degree, and ultimately entering the judiciary, and rising to the highest court in the land.

Born in 1940s Jim Crow era Georgia to a fatherless family, he briefly entertained the idea of becoming a Catholic priest, but left the seminary after he came to feel the Church inadequately addressed racism, especially in the American South. Instead of attending seminary, he went to Yale Law School, graduating in 1974.

From there, proving the lie to the ill-informed leftist Chicago mayor, Thomas served as Legislative Assistant to Senator John C. Danforth (R-MO), the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Education, where he helped Danforth on civil rights issues.

By 1982, Thomas became the chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) until 1990, before being nominated and confirmed to the Federal Appeals Court for the D.C. Circuit in 1990. By 1991, Thomas was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and after suffering a brutal confirmation hearing where Democrats tried desperately to destroy him, he was confirmed on October 23, 1991.

No one is a better role model of coming from hardscrabble stock, making his way in life without powerful and rich supporters and becoming a justice on the nation's highest court, than Clarence Thomas.

And yet, here is this cretinous mere city mayor biting at Thomas' heels like the race-baiting, yapping, chihuahua that he is. For shame, Brandon. Trying to tear down one of the most successful black men in American history just for your own, failing agenda. For shame.
