Nothing's wrong with a black mayor boasting of hiring blacks for senior positions in his administration in order to look out for the interests of "our people."
After all, civil rights laws are on the books only to protect "minority groups." Non-minorities being the victims of discrimination? Meh.
That is the apparent position of New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro. She was part of Tuesday's CNN This Morning panel reacting to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's comments on his hires, and the ensuing DOJ investigation into them.
Panelist Michael Warren of The Dispatch said: "I think the mayor shouldn't be talking about it sort of so casually . . .It's probably not a good way for the chief executive of the city to be talking about hiring practices in that way."
Garcia-Navarro plaintively injected, "Why not?"

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Our people?....................
I guess that ‘One Nation Under God’ stuff was just total bullshit..............
White politicians should bend over backwards to promote the interests of whites, and just say the hell with everybody else.
Oh? Is that wrong? Is that offensive? Huh.
“Our people”
Wasn’t it Ross Peter who was criticized for saying “you people”?
If I owned a business, I’d terminate all the blacks immediately and hire Asians.
Chicago Population break down.
White: 39.05%
Black or African American: 28.42%
Hispanic or Latino: 12.39%
Asian: 7.13%
MORE D E I — HASN’T WORKED YET-—WILL NOT WORK
All that work to cure racism just created a lot more racism.
Tribalism like that kills nations. Somalia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, South Sudan, and others.
“Nothing’s wrong with a black mayor boasting of hiring blacks for senior positions in his administration in order to look out for the interests of “our people.”
Substitute the word Black for White and see how they like it.
why not?
well they usually do it surreptitiously and deny it
cuz they know it is illegal
“After all, civil rights laws are on the books only to protect “minority groups.”
In the whole US white men are a minority.
They have a token white employee, “Cracker Honkey McWhitebread”.
Hard to believe.
But FBJ is worse than Beetlejuice.
In NYC I think Adams was better than deBlasen.
For no reason other than FJB DOJ tried to take him out with lawfare.
Underwriting duely informed. That should be good for a 5% add-on coverage surcharge based on ratings effect.
OK, let’s get a white mayor boasting about hiringn whites and see what the response would be.
As if we have to guess.
I believe your numbers are out of date. Per the US Census (2024) Chicago’s data:
White (not including Latino or Hispanic): 32.2%
Hispanic/Latino: 29.6%
Black (not including Latino or Hispanic): 28.4%
Asian : 7.2%
Mayor Brandon knows his people have fallen to 3rd place and is stuffing them in all sorts of jobs based only on their race.
People for years have had chances to not elect Democrats that have continually wrecked their economy and allowed increased crime rate and have failed to do so ... no sympathy.
Looks like a financial bonus lawsuit from a white person who was passed over for a position in Chicago for a black.
This gives evidence of racial favoritism for any lawyer to use.
