Well team, here's one you'd have a hard time making up if this was a parody.
But apparently Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot reaching her second And you'd be 100% right, folks. That's like the definition of racism.
Also, it's not very inclusionary.
What about women?
What about homosexuals?
What about some of the other aggrieved minorities out there?
What about Asians? I've heard a lot about Asian hate as of late.
Wouldn't this qualify as Asian hate discriminating against them, not granting them interviews if they were journalists like any other journalist?
What's really amazing is that numerous reporters reported the same thing and even Apparently, the Chicago Tribune pulled an interview request in protest.
So if that doesn't tell you something's messed up, I don't know what does.
The Chicago Tribune is that exactly not known for being, I don't know, a conservative outlet.
I mean, it's about as liberal as it gets.
It's one of the big hometown papers of Chicago.
It's certainly the more left wing of the two big boys.
They pulled out of the interview request until they lifted these racist conditions.
Now, how come the press isn't outraged about this?
How come the Democrats don't come out and say that this is absolutely insane?
To exclude white reporters?
To only grant an interview to black or brown journalists?
Again, imagine a white journalist did that.
Imagine Tucker Carlson said that.
Imagine someone from the Trump administration said, Donald Trump's only going to grant interviews to white journalists.
People would lose their minds.
And guess what? They'd be right as well.
So it's pretty obvious that Lori Lightfoot is a racist.
But if you're a liberal Democrat, I guess you can get away with it.
And no one's going to say a thing.
This is what she said in a long tweet thread the other day.
I ran to break up the status quo that was failing so many.
That isn't just in City Hall.
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.
Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions, including the media.
In order to progress, we must change.
This 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.
This is an imbalance that needs to change.
So think about it. So to solve racism, we're going to be racist.
That's what Lori Lightfoot is telling us, okay?
So 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.
That's racism, folks.
But again, it's okay to be racist, apparently, if you're a Democrat.
It's okay to be racist, I guess, if you're an African American person in power.
No one's going to call it out.
And that's what has to change, guys.
She admits that she's being racist, judging reporters simply based on the color of skin.
She's not concerned about the crime and the murder rate in the city of Chicago that's going through the roof.
She couldn't care less.
Let's make sure we solve racism by being racist.
Maybe that's why Chicago has all of the problems that it has.
Maybe that's why crime isn't going to be solved.
Maybe that's why murder has skyrocketed and continues to be one of the leading cities in the country for murder.
Because this is the focus of the Democrat Party.
This is the focus of Democrat leaders.
They're not worried about fixing the actual problems.
They're worried about solving problems by implementing, apparently, the policies that created those problems, i.e.
you solve racism by being racist.
Anyone that's a moron can tell you that that's probably not going to work.
It's probably going to make other aggrieved parties feel even more isolated.
And it's not going to do any good for your city.
So we all know that nothing's going to change, but at least someone like me will call it out.
I think you guys should too.
And again, since we know we're not going to get a fair shake in the press, we know we're not going to get a fair shake on social media.
Guys, do us a favor.
When you see commentary like this that you believe in and want out there, share it.
Make sure your friends see it.
We already know what we're up against.
We know that we're working against an onslaught of incoming.
We're not in a fair fight on our side.
So we need to help each other.
We need to boost each other and other similar commentary and get out there and do this.
And hopefully we can actually prevent mayors of major cities from going full racist in the future.
Because that seems to be what's happening right now.
