Her defensive retort


CHICAGO - Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, D., defended her controversial announcement to only give individual interviews to journalists of color and blasted Chicago media institutions for their "overwhelming whiteness and maleness" in an extraordinary letter on Wednesday.

Upon the two-year anniversary of her election, Lightfoot has drawn outrage after white journalists were told by her press office that they couldn't interview her one-on-one because of their skin color.

In a two-page letter to the media, Lightfoot, the first Black woman as well as the first openly gay mayor in Chicago's history, praised her own 2019 election for "breaking barriers" and took a shot at media organizations in the city for not adequately addressing "institutionalized racism" in their ranks. Her decision to temporarily only speak to Black and Brown reporters, she said, was part of her lifelong battle to fight for diversity and inclusion.

"In looking at the absence of diversity across the City Hall press corps and other newsrooms, sadly it does not appear that many of the media institutions in Chicago have caught on and truly have not embraced this moment," she wrote. "I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically."

Lightfoot reeled off the diversity of the city's leadership, including its "majority Black and Latinx City Council," and called it "unacceptable" that reporters covering City Hall were mostly White.

"Many of them are smart and hard-working, savvy and skilled. But mostly white, nonetheless," she wrote.



Im seriously ashamed that this is what we have as a mayor.
Sad thing is, it was better than the alternative.

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. Politicians don’t get to choose who covers them.

Nope.

Also, turn the thought around. Imagine the furor if somebody said, "Over half the citizens of my town are white, so I'll only grant interviews to white journalists."

No racists inhabiting Da Mare's office, nope nope nope.

The "carpet munching" Mayor might say yes.

She's a bigot and a racist. How people attempt to twist themselves into pretzels by explain such beyond me.

People like her have made MLKing irrelivent today.

And they told me blacks can never be racists, only whites. Looks like I was lied to.

Where is the Department of Justice investigation? Where is the FBI? Just imagine a white mayor making this policy against the black or Hispanic reporters.

Do white people have civil rights?

Remember South Africa - we just want to be free and live in peace without apartheid. Nelson Mandela became president and it was all Kumbaya.

Then what happened? Once the native Africans got fully in power and then it was payback. Not equality, but open season on white Afrikaners. Farmers getting murdered, land taken, you name it. Now it's violent and the police don't do much about it. And it is still one of the more stable parts of Africa.

This is what we are seeing now here. Payback for history. And the way the law is structured it is not illegal to discriminate against unprotected classes, namely white males. But if men are only a little less than half the population, and whites are 65%, then white men are around 30%. That's not anywhere close to a majority, and the protected classes in aggregate can outvote white men every time.

I am disgusted that my son has to grow up hearing constant negativity from the media about how bad white males are. Doesn't seem to have had a big effect but there are many other young white men that are aimless and unmotivated. White males have fallen behind white and black women on college and graduate degree attainment too. So much for being the "oppressors".

Whoever told you that is a fucking idiot.

She believes in inter-generational collective culpability. She thinks bigotry is justified hence. She leverages the prejudiced, supremacist, retributive mindset against innocent individuals based on superficial characteristics. She is what she condemns others unjustly. A person like she is should never have power nor influence. She is a filthy hypocrite.

Bigots come in all colors.

Just imagine the white mayor doing the same thing. I think I would if I were mayor. Only Fox news interviews. All white, except Harris F would be vary welcome. Thing is I doubt the left media would even want to interview me.

Last one out of Chicago turn off the light!

Conversely, maybe she should refund the portion of her paycheck derived from people of color.
