Do you think Chicago Mayor Lightfoot is justified in her woke racism/prejudice against white male reporters?

I live in Canada so I am doing a virtual battle assembly in the United States Army Reserve. I have lived in Canada since 2006. I even went to OEF as a Captain back in 2008-2009. I am married to a Canadian.

My unit allowing is me to do online courses instead. I'm taking a Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Joint Staff Equal Opportunity policy basic training online course and I am dealing with the subject of prejudice and all I see in this is Lori Lightfoot flaunting her power and being racist and sexist towards White male reporters.

What do you think, Rally Point? I bet you cancel culture will totally ignore her and she will probably be on The View next week as a celebrity. Just think what would happen if a Republican Mayor would do this and only want to speak to white reporters? The US military did an extremism stand-down a couple of months ago. I hope this does not become the norm with City Mayors of other ethnicities. It goes against all the civil right movement fought for in the 1950s and 1960s.

She claims she does not have time for White Male reporters. Yes, She does. She has time to let the city go to hell. LTC Stephen F. LTC Stephen F.

Come on Sir. She is not white. Therefore, she can’t be racist.
When HQ reads your post, I bet you will be back in CRT training Sir. CRT = Critical Race Theory.

Being openly racist against whites is all the rage nowadays, and it has been for quite some time.

Good evening, sir. Here is my two cents; racism begets racism. In this case she is an overt racist being given a pass by covert racists.

Sen. Tim Scott responds to Biden speech: 'America is not a racist country'

The Republican Party put forward one of its most ascendant and interesting figures to respond to President Biden’s address to Congress on Wednesday, giving Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina the microphone.

I don't see why she would not have that right, you do the same thing to blacks and other people of color all the time, claiming that their organizations are "Marxist" and bad for the country. Is it alright for you to do so?

Racism has no place in American politics. Anyone who defends Mayor Lightfoot's racism is someone that I cannot be friends with.

No I do not. I could not believe the statement. Are they still allowing her to be the mayor? Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere!
I hope and pray the United Stares military is never compromised . When I think of honor, valor and patriotism, US service members come to mind.

She is a racist, there is no doubt by her public speech. It's part of Chicago's decline and why companies are leaving the city and taxes continue to sky rocket. Chicago hasn't yet been able to balance a budget. Every year they need outside assistance just to meet maintenence needs. The Democrats elected a Segregationist POTUS so apparently racism is not an issue with them if it means one of their own occupies a political seat.

I have no respect for this woman whatsoever, regardless of her race. Racism works both ways and she is not doing anything to help her cause.

According to the left, power + prejudice = racism. Ergo, as a mayor with power, her prejudice makes her equally a racist.

The word has lost its meaning. And instead of opening dialogue, all we do now is go to opposite corners and flip each other the bird. It is embarrassing.

Most of the fighting in Afghanistan is between Pashtun Taliban and Government Tadzhikistan Mercenaries yet we push that under the rug. The people of Chicago elected their government. I have no solution for them
