Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced a plan to explore reparations payments to black Chicagoans, allocating $500,000 of the city's already underwater budget to a "task force" to explore the possibilities.

To summarize his speech, here is a list of the things he blamed on "systemic racism:"

  • Highways

  • Pollution

  • Gun violence

  • Health disparities

  • High unemployment

  • Closed schools

  • Shut down public housing

Many pointed out the irony of the mayor blaming racism on a weekend marked by a wave of horrific black-on-black violence:

Sadly, it would seem Mayor Johnson will continue the legacy of those who came before him in keeping Chicago corrupt, violent, and poor.
