Yup, in his tailored suit, smirking at his residents. The only time he looked shook was when the first guy said black people deserve special treatment and consideration. Clearly that gave him some pause to consider why we're treating illegal immigrants with more benefits than disenfranchised minority Americans

[@PoeticHeart]

Thx you for your comment. I am a white woman and I would vote for any race but it would depend on their policies, character etc. What's happening in Chicago is not a black issue. People voted for corrupt, immoral politicians like Biden and mayor Johnson. Biden is flooding the entire country with illegals on purpose. This is affecting the entire country and also will have a huge global affect as well. The residents dont seem to address the biggest issue behind their current situation and that it is coming from the top, the white house.

[@user-ii9ft5zz4t]

Because the Black community has a long history with Chicago, over 400 years and the saying Blacks born and raised have generational issues and experiences, serious “disadvantages”they have! To this day and continually struggling, this is why Johnson knew this would become waking up a sleeping giant. People don’t understand Chicago’s racist segregated city history politics and most don’t even understand why it’s very offensive to call and group Black People as immigrants. Black American’s have a justice claim, your comment demonstrates why they need to speak in and own their level and “not” group themselves with immigrants issues or those carrying a green card. The ideal people are taking offense to this is offensive, instead of attempting to correct Black American Chicago citizens, learn and stop feeling slighted. The ideal that most immigrants believed they came here and worked hard realizing this country could fulfill its promise of a better life pivots and isn’t the Black experience, truth be told offensive due to the history and racist policies, it’s shows most people claiming 30 years into this country should become more respectful as with their arriving and it’s impacts as they have not noticed it was a learning curve and most states had to create diversity training policies. Question yourself for claiming they should down play or cease their history, convictions. Black community addressing the Mayor aren’t divisions but morals and values they can’t ignore otherwise they lose more and more on politics spectrum, they try to be supportive on a immigrant level. The justice claim is a legitimate legal position requiring a division, as it does include issues of racist policies against American Blacks as of some being played today. Brandon is well aware.

That’s not even close to the definition of insanity

[@marygambrell8238]

You can clearly see that none of those aldermen nor the mayor is listening to those citizens. The lady with the purple sweater in was texting in her phone the entire time. Also, why is the Mayor standing instead of sitting?

[@cynthiacordell4639]

Must be some Boule ritual or requirement

STAY STRONG GREAT CHICAGO RESIDENTS 😊You all have worked hard for what you OWN🎉❤

They don't give a crap about a single person who spoke up, but they'll keep taking tax money from them to no end.

[@dianehouston3452]

That is right. May the Lord help Chicago residents. And all the USA. Lord, so much corruption. Please swift justice, Lord

[@zippyzipster46]

So much racism in these people. Very sad.

[@karimamin2]

Chicago residents is who voted him into office in the first place. Their fault

[@ScottyMedina]

The Lord aint got nothing to do with it!! This guy yelling in the microphone might be right but he needs to stop being so emotional and ALL of you need to pay more attention to who you are putting into office.

I've got 1 question. With these democrat cities that have been run by Democrats for the last 40+ years, what have they done to actually help the black community?

[@Oc4ever12]

NOTHING!

There he stands, hands deep in his pockets and not even paying attention to what's being said. You voted a winner Chicago... 😂

[@Lexibrad]

Those people on the panel need to stop and take their seats .. get off their computers look up and pay attention and listen to the citizens… such disrespect

[@jasonamerman557]

Mayor mayor Brandon Johnson had earbuds in listening to music the whole time he was standing there.😮

[@rondas7772]

I don't like him but don't lie, it wasn't music, official here wear them to take cues and forc security purposes

[@maryclayton4417]

I am so glad to see that you guys are standing together to fight for what actually belongs to you the taxpayers of Chicago. This is happening more and more everyday all across our country! Everything is being given to the migrants and the citizens are being denied their needs of our country. I do live in Chicago but I had always wanted to visit there one day but I have decided totally against ever going there. I do not feel safe to go there. So many people have been brought into your city and have had activities disrupted because of how this invasion has been handled which is what has happened. You can believe so many people are come here not for the proper reasons and put you and your family and friends harmed or even killed. Please know there are other people standing with you guys. even though not there physically. I am with you spiritually and emotionally. I will continue to do this not only for Chicago but for all our citizens. God bless you all!

[@allaccessshogun]

Congratulations Chicago , you get what you vote for and you vote based on reasons other than what the real problem are . Praying one day you will all open your eyes .

[@user-lm3fm5bf2f]

Sickning. They aren't even listening. But we the people are. #votethemout

[@ToungeLaxier]

This is what they do, get in with the help of "friends", then help the friends and then "they all" dictate to the public how the public should use the money that YOU worked for to help them get elected next time. While skimming

[@brandivanemon7930]

Yes then they tax everything. We'll learn that it was all illegal. Then Nixon took us off the gold standard. Luckily the BRI€K§ nations went gold backed in August. That's the start of Gesara.

[@stephenlight647]

I love the Union spokesperson: Subsidies for Everyone! Someday they will run out of money, but not until the bankrupt the city/country.

[@ArmyVet-retired-S4L]

That mayor is disrespectful, citizens talking and he’s having other conversation, smiling and laughing. I hope the people see this and remember all this next time they vote

[@orianna9]

The mayor doesn't look like he's really listening, just standing there faking it until his constituents have had their time to speak and get their concerns off of their chest. The women supporting the mayor don't seem to care much about these people's experiences, surely they don't live in the same zip code and have a different level of comfort and safety and stability. At least the woman in green to the right of the mayor seems to be listening and care. She is the only one.

If the black community would stop only making about the black communities, rather than all Americans. This is effecting all americans.
