His governance&#8217;s focus on prioritizing contracts for black-owned businesses has led to an investigation by the Department of Justice regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-is-the-definition-of-systematic-racism-former-nfl-player-rips-into-nfl-over-race-norming\/\" title=\"\u2018This Is The Definition Of Systematic Racism\u2019: Former NFL Player Rips Into NFL Over \u2019Race-Norming\u2019\">potential racial bias<\/a> in hiring and appointments. With a disapproval rating of nearly 80%, the article argues that Johnson&#8217;s focus on racial identity and grievances has overshadowed effective governance and outlines the controversial and divisive nature of his leadership style.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Chicago&rsquo;s government-by-racism is failing<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2126680\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>No one will ever confuse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chicago<\/a> with a well-run city.

He said black people should be in charge because &ldquo;we are the most generous people on the planet.&rdquo; Specifically, Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/news.wttw.com\/2025\/05\/27\/mayor-brandon-johnson-s-senior-leadership-team-nearly-50-black-more-half-female-analysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the following: &ldquo;There are some detractors that will push back on me and say, &lsquo;The only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.&rsquo; No. What I&rsquo;m saying is when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else.

Take a second to picture what the reaction would be if Mayor WhiteGuy McWhiteFace from some random city made a similar comment about why he only <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >hires white people<\/a> (&ldquo;our people&rdquo;) for his administration. It would seem a little racist, wouldn&rsquo;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also admitted that his decision on what companies to award contracts to was based on his view that &ldquo;every single dime that our people have been robbed of, I want to make sure that is returned two-, threefold,&rdquo; touting awarding contracts to black-owned companies.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson is now being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3416434\/department-of-justice-chicago-mayor-investigation-hiring-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">investigated<\/a> by the Department of Justice for admitting that race is a top priority when it comes to hirings and appointments under his administration, but this isn&rsquo;t his first racial outburst. Johnson has argued that Republicans are racists who are &ldquo;still mad that a black man is free in this country&rdquo; in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/2451810\/brandon-johnson-turns-to-wild-racism-accusations-to-excuse-his-failures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">response<\/a> to Texas sending illegal immigrants to his sanctuary city. During the campaign, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/1923101\/brandon-johnson-makes-racism-his-closing-pitch-in-chicagos-mayoral-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> his opponent was a racist who was &ldquo;being dismissive of a black man who taught for four years&rdquo; and that criticisms of his campaign were &ldquo;yet another attack on a black man as an elected leader.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Johnson&rsquo;s trip to London last year to try to bring British businesses to Chicago coincidentally overlapped with the Chicago Bears playing a game there. When asked whether he was going to the game, Johnson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/sports\/3181504\/chicago-mayor-invokes-race-london-trip-bears-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decided<\/a> the reporter was a racist who was being &ldquo;disrespectful and condescending&rdquo; for suggesting &ldquo;that the black man is going to London for a game.&rdquo; Johnson did, in fact, go to the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3415666\/brandon-johnson-diverse-administration-black-people-most-generous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BRANDON JOHNSON TOUTS DIVERSE ADMINISTRATION, SAYS BLACK PEOPLE RUN CHICAGO BECAUSE &lsquo;WE&rsquo;RE MOST GENEROUS&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Johnson currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox32chicago.com\/news\/chicago-johnson-disapproval-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sits<\/a> at about a 6.6% approval rating. No, that is not a typo. Nearly 80% of Chicagoans disapprove of Johnson&rsquo;s tenure. Yet another attack on a black man as an elected leader.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Johnson would be doing better as mayor if he were not so obsessed with flaunting his skin color and with discriminating against people using his government power. Then again, Chicago knew who it was getting when voters elected Johnson in the first place. Racial grievance was the centerpiece of his campaign and his closing message to voters before they went to the polls. Chicago wanted a government that only looks at people based on the color of their skin. By that metric, Johnson&rsquo;s tenure as mayor is an undeniable success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2126680\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2126680\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago&#8217;s racially driven governance is failing.
