The Chicago mayor, often labeled as a “Marxist” and accused of harboring anti-white sentiments, is now potentially facing federal scrutiny over his controversial hiring practices.
As reported by , Mayor Brandon Johnson boldly asserted that his hiring policy primarily favors Black individuals because he believes they represent âthe most generous people on the planet.â He further elaborated on the predominance of Black professionals in key roles within his administration.
âCritics may argue that my focus is solely on hiring Black individuals,â Johnson stated with evident pride. âBut I contend that when you empower our community, we inherently look out for everyone else. We are, after all, the most generous people on the planet.â
He continued, âI canât think of many cultures that have âplay cousinsââthatâs a testament to our generosity. We effortlessly adopt people into our family, exemplifying our inclusive nature.â
Johnson listed his administration’s senior roles, noting that the deputy mayor for Business and Economic Neighborhood Development, as well as the deputy mayor for Infrastructure, are both Black women, along with the Budget Director and several other key positions held by Black individuals.

In response to Johnsonâs remarks, Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for the DOJâs Civil Rights Division, announced an investigation into the mayor’s statements regarding Chicago’s hiring practices.
âThe Department of Justice has initiated an inquiry to assess whether the city of Chicago is engaging in discriminatory hiring practices based on race,â the DOJ’s letter stated.
The investigation stems from allegations that Johnson’s hiring decisions are racially motivated, as highlighted by his recent comments made at the Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn.
Dhillon emphasized that if Johnson’s hiring practices for senior positions are indeed race-based, it raises concerns about similar practices at lower levels within the administration.
âIf high-level appointments are influenced by race, it raises the question of whether the same applies to lower-tier hires,â Dhillon noted, underscoring the broader implications of such a hiring philosophy.
