CHICAGO (AP) — A white reporter for a conservative media outlet is suing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot over her decision to grant interviews at the midpoint of her first term only to journalists of color, saying she discriminated against him because of his race.
Thomas Catenacci and his employer, the Daily Caller News Foundation, argue in the lawsuit that Lightfoot violated their First Amendment rights and Catenacci’s right to equal protection by not responding to an interview request on the day of her second anniversary in office or in the days that followed. The suit was filed Thursday in federal court in Chicago by the conservative organization Judicial Watch.
Good! Sue that Bigot Keren's ass off.
@earl-of-trumps saidAs I SAID, and continue to say, institutional racism IS white racism. By this I mean the racism shown BY whites.
No, racist Suzie, I did not say WHITE racism, I said INSTITUTIONAL racism. Learn to read.
The Mayor's office of America's 3rd largest city makes Lightfoot's racist act institutional.
It was directed AGAINST white people. But what difference does the color of skin of the victims make? It's racism.
Get WOKE, ms. racist.
@dood111 saidAnother liar.
Exactly.
The only "institutional racism" going on in America is the racism directed against white people through Affirmative Action, teaching Critical Race Theory in schools, giving preferential treatment to people of color, etc.
@suzianne saidIt's very obvious, you think one form of racism is vile, and another form, admirable.
As I SAID, and continue to say, institutional racism IS white racism. By this I mean the racism shown BY whites.
You don't consider the mayor's office in Chicago to be an institution? Lightfoot has far more many followers than the KKK.
The thing with liberals is, they don't rationalize, they think laws should only be enforced when it feels good.
All emotion, no rationality. Racism is Racism, PERIOD. If you pick and choose which is good, you're a racist. PERIOD.
