You deserve everything you get Chicago.

[DwnRace]

Let’s be real…. Your Mayor wants to hire based on Color not Experience….

[henryc]

Short answer… he’s the wrong skin color.

[GERRYMALONEY]

I work for the city for 32 years I'm retired now it's not what you know it's who you blow

[OperationChicago]

Tha new one needs to be black according to them

[lawsonjames]

Not if racist Brandon Johnson has any say in it.

Y should he waste his time, they will hire a minority .

[gatvestreet]

Who are the oppressed? They keep saying one thing, but reality seems to say just the opposite.

[terryrollins]

Guess they're going with the affirmative choice ✔️

[badge]

Need someone from way outside to clean that crap hole up. Why interview the same corrupt individuals that do not change the way things are done. Nothing up there works as it is. Corruption at its best.

[abelincoln]

They voted for this and they are getting the government they voted for. Getting it good and hard.

[ryanbarker]

no, you don't get to choose who you want without explaining your process first. what a farce. tell the people what the process is *now* and what standards did mcdermott not meet for a mere interview. it's not inappropriate to get answers when your process is blatantly absurd and *already* warrants an investigation of your practices.

if he didn't apply there's no reason not to say that. none. 'be as transparent as possible.' in other words, they plan to completely gaslight people.

[dgoodmanu]

He is on the lite side! 1out of the three is someone related by color.

[gatvestreet]

If he announced today that he identifies as a girl, BAM he gets the job.

[christopherm]

What everyone else has also said here...

[jasoncoomer]

*Skin Color: I admit it, im to blame again*

[QbutNotTheQ]

Needs to be a friend of the mayor. And black. 🤡

[kennethhill]

Do they intentionally make bad decisions just to higher more of their own.

[markwendt]

G let me guess it's cuz he's white
