Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Defends Excluding White Journalists: ‘Systemic Racism’ in Media
Breitbart ^ | May 29 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 05/20/2021 7:22:37 AM PDT by knighthawk

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot attempted to defend her racist interview policy on Wednesday, explaining why she would only give interviews to “journalists of color” and exclude white journalists on the occasion of her two-year anniversary in office.

In a letter to news organizations, and in a series of tweets, Lightfoot claimed there was a racial “imbalance” in the news media, especially in the City Hall press corps, and that she wanted to use her position to force journalism to become more diverse.

Systematic racism against Whites (a REAL thing) is A-OK to the Stalinazi Satanists.

Her explanation is that one racist act is racist, but two racist acts are not racist?

She is both racist and stupid. Yes stupid, as in not very intelligent.

One, her policy is racist, that point cannot be argued.

Two, you cannot "increase diversity" by excluding diverse participation. Her policy is exactly the opposite of increasing diversity. Stupid. Idiotic.

She’s got nothing to say I need to hear. Go ahead, she can interview with baboons for all I care.

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

The Chicago Mayor and Dems ignore that grim reality 24/7!

The funny part is that white media members are most likely to be sympathetic to Beetlejuice. The white media members are in general, self loathing, woke cucks.

Pre-judging someone based upon the color of their skin is the very definition of a R.A.C.I.S.T. Don’t let them redefine words. Call her what she is. Say it LOUD AND OFTEN. Define when yelled at. Chant it until they can no longer deny it. It is important we take back the language.

Very important.

Will she ban the Bulls and Bears from playing in Chicago until they become more 'diverse'?

Didn't think so.

Lightfoot’s only been in office for two years?

Seems like she’s been destroying Chicago for much longer than that.

She’s not only black but also homosexual. So will she only allow interviews by homosexuals as well?

This act by Lightfoot is the equivalent of blocking followers on twitter, disallowed by the courts in President Trump’s case.
