Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson delivered a bizarre rant shoehorning slavery and racism against black people into the discussion of the criticism he is facing from black Chicagoans for opening a growing list of shelters for illegals in their neighborhoods and for redirecting funds and services from black communities to serve the border crossers there.
