Mayor Lori Lightfoot wants to make up for the lack of diversity in Chicago by excluding an entire race, but no one is mad about it. Is this racism? Or is it just a convenient excuse for a liberal mayor who doesn t give a damn about black and brown journalists in order to get a fair shake on the job? And why is it okay to be racist if you re a Democrat? And why isn t the media outraged by this racist move by the mayor, and why aren t the other media outlets in Chicago calling out the mayor for this racist policy. Well team, here's one you'd have a hard time making up if this was a parody, but apparently, it's not. And you'd be 100% right, folks. That's like the definition of racism. Also, what about women? Or gays? Or Asians? What about Asian hate? Wouldn't this qualify as racism if they were journalists like any other journalist? What's the difference between racism and anti-racism? And what does that have to do with crime in Chicago, you ask? Well, guess what? It's all about race, baby! Maybe that's why Chicago has all of the problems that it has. Maybe that s why crime is going through the roof. Because this is why crime isn't going to be solved. And that's probably not going to help solve racism, is it? . Let's make sure we solve racism by being racist, right? Let's fix racism by solving racism, right?? by solving it, right?! Tweet me what you think of it, tweet and let me know your thoughts, tweet me ! if you agree with me or disagree or don't agree with it in a nice tweet about it! or not? ;) Timestamps: 1) 2) What do you think? 3) Do you think it's racist? 4) What are your thoughts on racism? 5) What would you think about that? 6) Is that a good thing? 7) What colorism? 8) Is it racist 9) How do I think it s better? 10) What kind of racism 11) What does it mean 12) 13) What is racism 15) What can I do to solve racism or 16) What should I do with racism?
00:00:40.000What about some of the other aggrieved minorities out there?
00:00:44.000What about Asians? I've heard a lot about Asian hate as of late.
00:00:48.000Wouldn't this qualify as Asian hate discriminating against them, not granting them interviews if they were journalists like any other journalist?
00:00:57.000What's really amazing is that numerous reporters reported the same thing and even Apparently, the Chicago Tribune pulled an interview request in protest.
00:01:09.000So if that doesn't tell you something's messed up, I don't know what does.
00:01:13.000The Chicago Tribune is that exactly not known for being, I don't know, a conservative outlet.
00:01:20.000I mean, it's about as liberal as it gets.
00:01:22.000It's one of the big hometown papers of Chicago.
00:01:24.000It's certainly the more left wing of the two big boys.
00:01:28.000They pulled out of the interview request until they lifted these racist conditions.
00:01:34.000Now, how come the press isn't outraged about this?
00:01:38.000How come the Democrats don't come out and say that this is absolutely insane?
00:02:30.000It'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.
00:02:42.000Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions, including the media.
00:02:49.000This is exactly why I'm being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters, people of color, on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city.
00:03:02.000This is an imbalance that needs to change.
00:03:05.000So think about it. So to solve racism, we're going to be racist.
00:03:09.000That's what Lori Lightfoot is telling us, okay?
00:03:12.000So in an area, in a city that still has a lot of white people, she wants to make up for an imbalance that has occurred in the past, not by trying to level it a little bit, but by excluding an entire race.
