Black elected leaders who fail to advocate for policies that lift Black communities are either implicitly biased or ignorant.
Catholic school students switch classrooms in Chicago on June 7, 2023. The school had students who received support from the Invest in Kids scholarship program.
As I look back on my experience, perhaps we have been looking at racism through the wrong lens of color — rather than economics. We understand white versus Black or Latino versus Black, but what about Black versus Black racism? Can Blacks be racist against other Black people? President Andrew Johnson in an 1867 message to Congress declared Black Americans had “less capacity for government than any other race of people.” They would “relapse into barbarism … if left to their own devices.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson likes playing the race card when it benefits him. The city has spent more than $300 million on care for migrants. Johnson has prioritized migrants while neglecting the needs of citizens who elected him. Black and brown people are living in constant fear and losing their homes due to an unfair property tax system — while Johnson, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Gov. J.B. Pritzker prioritize migrants.
