On the eve of the second anniversary of her inauguration, transvestite Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that she would only give interviews to journalists of color after what she believed to be an overwhelming white majority in the media.
In a two-page letter to members of the media, he wrote: "It is impossible that this glaring lack of diversity is not reflected in the daily coverage of government, politics and urban life."
Northwestern University journalism professor Ava Greenwell - who also wrote a book on the subject earlier - supports the mayor on this issue. As he writes: when "examining the Black Lives Matter movement and inequality, the news media needs to hold a mirror up to itself!"
However, the National Federation of Spanish Journalists protested. They write in their announcement: although it is important to deal with inequality, it is not allowed to restrict access to the press on the basis of race and ethnicity. Any measure that threatens the foundations of democracy and freedom of speech is unacceptable."
"Yes, it's a great public relations move," said National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Chicago president Maudlyne Ihejirika of the mayor's action.
It is strange that this polemic occurs in a city where all the colored population is a minority against the whites.
It is interesting that, despite this, a black, transvestite mayor was elected, who at least takes racist and exclusionary steps in return. Of course, I know symbolically: only on the occasion of its celebration.
In vain, the legendary racial oppression by whites!
