Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has told members of the press that members of Congress should be focusing less on arresting and deporting illegal alien criminals and more on slavery reparations.
Johnson was asked on Thursday about whether he would he would honor an invitation to appear with a handful of U.S. mayors before the U.S. House Oversight Committee to testify about so-called “sanctuary cities” like Chicago, New York, Denver and Boston.
Rather than answering the question, Johnson chose to play the race card instead and went off on a diatribe about slavery, reparations and how the U.S. today represents “what our country would look like had the confederacy won.”

1.) So will only descendants of American slaves (DOAS) receive them or will they have to share with all blacks according to him?
2.) Will descendants of blacks who participated in slaving, owning slaves, slaving, etc, have to pay reparations according to him?
3.) Will the descendants of all people (whom Cingressional or census data records, say from the 1860’s) who owned slaves, ran slave markets, owned slave ships, etc, have to pay reparations according to him?
Once again, democrats prove that they are the most stupid people on the planet.
He almost makes you miss Lori......almost. She had some amusement value.
There is one case where a black person could be eligible for some kind of restitution, and that is if they can prove that their relative was “red-lined” into another neighborhood, instead of being able to live in a better neighborhood, where the house prices would have appreciated more. That would represent a missing out on potential wealth that could have been handed down to subsequent generations, and could be quantified.
slavery reparations for people that were not slaves ,LOL
The Shake Down never stops.
Black Farmers and the Pigford settlement during the Obama years.
STFU and GTFO mayor. I suggest you and your ilk take a ONE WAY trip to whatever African shithole country you “think” your ancestors came from and DON’T COME BACK.
That’s the reparations they deserve!
HE CAN SING THAT SONG IN PRISON FOR VIOLATING LAWS ABOUT AIDING & ABETTING
Do we deduct all the perks that the "slave descendents" have collected over the years, via "disparate treatment"
Inquiring minds want to know....
What a dud this guy is.
IMPOSSIBLE to have them own property that will APPRECIATE.
THEY NEVER TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING.
100,000 years ago Africans invaded Europe and raped and killed my Neanderthal ancestors. They have never paid reparations for that act of genocide. Africans owe me. And my cultural memories give me very good reason to be afraid of African peoples.
I want reparations. I want them now.
Okay - how about reparations for the relatives of those soldiers who died to free the slaves?
Letsgo Brandon just got a raise, so he’s getting paid over $200 grand a year to run his mouth and ruin his city. I wanna see this guy actually pick some cotton before we talk “reparations”.
Hey, Democrats: double down on race baiting and “reparations” demands during the ‘26 midterms, I double dog dare ya. Go for gold!
I guess 50 years of affirmative action, free Utilities, food, and Obamaphones wasn’t good enough.
