Fmr DEI Dir BLISTERS Minneapolis City Council For Anti-Black Racism & Calls Out Black Councilwomen

A story developing out of Minneapolis about the pervasive issue of systemic racism in the Minneapolis city government since George Floyd's death.

Tyeastia Green, the former Director of Minneapolis' Division of Race, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging for the City of Minneapolis, alleges city officials lack the commitment to address systemic racism under Minneapolis City Operations Officer Heather Johnston.

Green was hired in 2022, just 20 mins before a press briefing about Amir Locke, the black man killed by police attempting to serve a no-knock warrant. In a scathing 14-page memo, Green highlighted the challenges she faced in her role and how her recommendations were repeatedly ignored, intentionally misguided on assignments, and had false claimants filed against her.

She also called out two Black councilwomen, Latrisha Vetaw and Andrea Jenkins, for lying about their lack of work and engaging in anti-black racism.

Tyeastia Green, the former Director of Minneapolis' Division of Race, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging spoke with Roland Martin about the systemic racism on display in Minneapolis city goverment.
