Chicago Mayor Will Only Talk to BIPOC Journalists
« on: May 19, 2021, 10:35:10 AM »
Apparently the Chicago mayor only allows one on one interviews with "people of color". This seems to be verified by what look like liberal journalists. Could you just imagine if Trump had said he would only interview with white journalists? He already took enough heat for interviewing with news outlets like OAN. Yet somehow this isn't blatantly racist.

The new definition of racism is Power+Prejudice, so a black person who is so downtrodden they can only win election to Mayor of Chicago cannot possibly be racist.

Silly white supremist, only whites can be racist.

Imagine that.

In other news, I’ve noticed a lot of the attacks on Asians have been from other minorities...

But you see, those black perpetrators are only attacking the Asian victims because of white supremacy.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

First you have to find a journalist who disagrees with the policy.

I saw a report that a latino journo had cancelled an interview in protest. Probably better than a lawsuit if just no press would interview her. All get up turn off the cameras and walk out when she comes to the podium. But won't happen, as long as there are boots there will be somebody to lick them.
