Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Wednesday that she will grant one-on-one interviews to mark the two-year anniversary of her inauguration solely to journalists of color, saying she has been struck by the “overwhelmingly” white press corps in Chicago.

More troubling to Lightfoot is the majority of Chicago Blackhawks players are white, the majority of Chicago Bears players are black, and not a single player on the Chicago Bulls roster meets the criteria for being identified as "short".   Clearly some sort of diversity and inclusion program is needed to ensure proper representation.

I can't imagine anyone who has gotten this far along in life (let alone politics) thinks this is a good idea.  Whatever the ***** was/is she thinking?? 

Bigotry isn't confined to any specific race.

She's actually racist

 

I don't think this is.  I just think she's not very intelligent.  She's your typical politician.  Come up with "idea" without even beginning to think it through.

I disagree with you on her intelligence. She knows she can win the mayoral race in perpetuity if she simply makes the losers believe that she is stacking the deck in their favor. The amount of people in Chicago bothered by this is small compared to the people who are simply too dumb to realize this is Bull Connor inspired.

Then Chicago gets what they deserve.  However the silent minority really needs to rise up and point out the absolute hypocrisy of this.

I have a friend who is an immigrant from Guyana in South America and when she moved to NYC in the early 90s she was told that she was not considered a minority because she looks Indian. Her family was in Guyana for several generations but they based her race on looks not genetics.
