Is that racism?

Hello again. So, in the last post I said I had lots to talk about so here I am again to talk about somethings. We are getting some warm weather the last few days and today is supposed to be the warmest of them. Thursday, we had some temperatures in the mid 70’s (about 24C) but it was cloudy with a slight rain, then on Friday we had 81F (27C) and sunny. Today we are supposed to get up to 85F (30C) and it is sunny out. Not super high temperatures but it is over our normal for this time of year. I have already turned on the air conditioner to keep it from getting too hot in the house. So far, I have done a big cleaning in the kitchen and dusted in the living room. I am about to clean the bathroom and then I will sweep and mop the kitchen and bathroom. Just getting a little done at a time with breaks in between. I am already getting bored of the cleaning, but I want to get it all done today. I really don’t want to do any tomorrow. So, I hear that the Mayor of Chicago is saying that she is fighting for equality and diversity because it is the right thing to do. Wow, very nice, I agree….wait she said that she is only going to be doing interviews with journalist of color she will not do interviews with whites and she says the city hall press corps is “overwhelmingly white”. She also said this.. "As a person of color, I have throughout my adult life done everything that I can to fight for diversity and inclusion in every institution that I have been a part of and being mayor makes me uniquely situated to shine a spotlight on this most important issue." I wonder where is the diversity and inclusion when she will only interview with those of color? Am I missing something? If you do not know Lori Lightfoot, she is the mayor of Chicago and in my opinion a racist herself. Take a look back at some of the things she has said and done over the last two years as mayor, and you might come to the same thoughts. Funny thing, Gregory Pratt a Latino reporter for the Chicago Tribune was granted an interview and when he asked the mayors office if she was going to lift the conditions on the other reporters, he was told no they were not. He and the Chicago Tribune canceled the interviews. Good for them.
