"Mike Johnson's Unique Perspective on Race: Raising a Black Child"

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, has often referenced his experience raising a Black teenager as his own son when discussing race in America. However, his oldest son, who is now an adult with his own family, has been kept out of the public eye and does not appear in Johnson's official biography or family photos. Johnson explained that this was due to his son's request for privacy. Johnson's rise to House speaker has brought attention to his personal and political life, with critics from both the left and right questioning his views on race. Johnson downplayed the role of race in his sons' lives, attributing their different experiences to culture and society rather than skin color.
