Really? More than 2 decades into the 21st century and this is where we're at?
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is facing backlash over a decision to grant one-on-one interviews to only 'black and brown' reporters to mark her two-year anniversary in the role.
Gregory Pratt, a Chicago Tribune reporter who is Latino, revealed he was among those who had been granted an interview but the newspaper decided to cancel it when Lightfoot refused to lift her ban on other reporters.
'I am a Latino reporter @chicagotribune whose interview request was granted for today. However, I asked the mayor's office to lift its condition on others and when they said no, we respectfully canceled,' Pratt tweeted.
'Politicians don't get to choose who covers them.'
The Mayor confirmed in a series of tweets that she was intentionally 'prioritizing media requests from POC reporters' and that it was a 'shame' the journalists assigned to cover Chicago's City Hall in 2021 were overwhelmingly white

Democrats have full autonomy on racism. They have the power to accuse someone of being a racist, just as they have the power to be and act racist themselves without repercussions or consequences.

The wealthy interests who sponsor these politicians do so specifically for the purpose of keeping race division.
It's all part of the game.

Another crazy thing is she refusing to allow 1 on 1 interviews by East Asian reporters? Even if whites do make up the overwhelming majority of journalists, how come Asians are getting the shaft? I'm pretty sure they make up an even smaller percentage of journalists than blacks or Latinos.

The Chicago mayor can choose who she wants to talk to.
As a white man, salty ass whities who keep bitching about this need to stfu.
Republicans are the one with full autonomy on racism anyway.

Well that's easy to explain. Blacks hate Asians.
