Lightfoot Says She Will Only Give 1-on-1 Interviews to Journalists of Color
NBC 5 Chicago ^ | 19 May 2021

Posted on 05/19/2021 4:48:37 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

"It's a shame that in 2021, the City Hall press corps is overwhelmingly White in a city where more than half of the city identifies as Black, Latino, AAPI or Native American."

Lightfoot called the racial make-up of the City Hall press corps "an imbalance that needs to change," adding that Chicago's local media "should reflect the multiple cultures that comprise it."

Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Pratt was among those disagreeing with the policy.

"I am a Latino reporter @chicagotribune whose interview request was granted for today," Pratt tweeted. "However, I asked the mayor’s office to lift its condition on others and when they said no, we respectfully canceled. Politicians don’t get to choose who covers them."

Since she is ----- like a three-dollar bill, only matching minuscule black lesbians should be allowed to speak with her majesty.

That face she has makes me shudder. It is not a natural, normal face, so I am not making fun of nature’s handiwork.

Keep her off camera and out of the news altogether. We will all be better served.

Someone might ask her, what race of people, are killing so many Black People in Chicago:

The elites social score will be used to whittle down the population of the bottom percent until they’ve gotten the population down to 500 million of the best human beings around the world.

That has been going on in America since LBJ started his war on poverty with the massive abortions of Blacks and never rebuilding any buildings ruined by rioters and just old age.

Now the blue cities and states have pulled back their cops and allowing the blacks to slaughter each other. Look at the stats for just Chicago in the links below:

“Meanwhile, “As black bodies, drop like flies around us, killed by violent black hands!”

In Chicago: Realities re the real killers/aka cause of Black death stats 2020/2021 are shown below:

Mayor Truck LIEfoot needs to broaden her color schemes for some artistic flair.

Maybe she means she will give interviews only to Asian-Americans and Native Americans.

I ran across a letter of Thomas Jefferson where he uses the expressions "people of color" and "men of color" to refer to Asians and to the aboriginal inhabitants of America.

Racist; but it’d be racist for calling her a racist for her racist comments.
