Countless news reports during the past year have bemoaned the increasing hostility people are expressing towards each other in their everyday interactions. We have seen this lack of civility and respect come to a boil locally as well, especially towards Black women.
This past week, Chicago Teacher’s Union President Jesse Sharkey said Mayor Lori Lightfoot was “relentlessly stupid” in her positions during negotiations of the dispute between the Chicago Public Schools and CTU.
We see this at the national level too.
No vice president in American history has endured more ferocious criticism than Vice President Kamala Harris. President Biden has said Harris has his full confidence, and he has given her high-profile assignments. Yet she has faced constant behind-the-scenes gossip, including stories about staff members resigning, and negative anecdotes from sources who won’t speak on the record.
In all of these instances, the common thread is that Black women are constantly challenged. They have had their intelligence, leadership, or commitments questioned, as if there is nothing they can do that is right.
This disrespectful behavior is especially disheartening as we continue to battle a pandemic that has disproportionately harmed communities of color.
It’s time to do better and that should start with Black women. Let’s listen to them more, respect their views, and change the discourse in this country for the better.

The same Lori Lightfoot who called a crime victim an “idiot” this past week? The same one who has issued “eff yous” to even other Democrats who disagreed with her in meetings? That’s the one you’re whining about?
As for Heels up Harris, take a look at how she got started. She advanced up the career ladder in her late 20s by openly becoming the mistress of a powerful married man in his 60s. Nobody respects that - especially other women. She’s just a nasty piece of work all around complete with hyena like cackle on all occasions.
You repeated yourself!! 🤓
Perillo ought to run for Mayor, on the "GODDAMN FED UP WITH GROOT" ticket.
Waaaaaaah!
I wonder how all of these people treated Sarah Palin?
I respect the person. I don’t care what gender or race they are.
Telling the truth about black women “leaders” is bad. You have to let them destroys cities and states to be “fair”.
Ah, but some Democrats are malevolent masterminds.
Good point.
Disrespectful of black female leaders?
Not me, certainly not me! I disrespect ALL ‘leaders’ be they female or male, civilian or military, POC or White, who take a public oath of office to follow the law and support the Constitution and then use the public office to violate the law and - or enrich themselves. I heap additional scorn on ALL democrat politicians and those who habitually vote for that party, at local, state Or federal level .
LOL.
Sorry Roderick T. Sawyer, I don’t see black women, I see communistas.
Comprende?

“They earn the disrespect just like men do, and if they can’t take the heat, they can exit the kitchen.”
You just couldn’t resist taking a misogynist shot by saying women should be in the kitchen.😂
Hey, the left is down with Misandry in the old formal sense of hatred of Mankind, and not just men,
No, it’s time to stop promoting unscrupulous black women to positions of leadership. I’ve known many fine, upstanding black women; choose those like them, instead of the unethical ones.
They don’t get respect just because they are there. Respect is earned.
How about them being OK with being judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin...
“relentlessly stupid”
Haha. If the stupid fits.
“When one deserves respect we’ll give it. Currently all the Dems give us are women who are bad cartoon characters”
Absolutely right!
BS! Dan Quale.

Sarah Palin.
You just can’t fix “relentlessly stupid”.
Thus CRT was invented to explain it away.

The Bell Curve explains a lot.
