Another controversy arises as a Chicago Mayor confirmed that she would start holding 1-on-1 interviews with only black or brown reporters.
Clearly another definition of racism coming from a Mayor herself.
A fox news report confirmed that a Local NBC 5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern posted a tweet on Tuesday saying,
“As Mayor Lori Lightfoot reaches her two-year midway point as mayor of Chicago, her spokeswoman says the mayor is granting 1 on 1 interview – only to Black or Brown journalists.”

Mayor Lori Lightfoot actually tweeted about this too on her Official Twitter account.
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.

The Chicago the Mayor is more focused on discriminating against white reporters amidst of homicide cases soar in Chicago. Leadership.

Wouldn’t it be something if a white reporter put on a black face to see if they could then get an interview with Lightweight?
