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.

When these leftists harpies stop acting like arrogant mafia dons then maybe, otherwise never.
Respect is earned...so is disrespect.
Or not.
It’s their policies, not their color.
When one deserves respect we’ll give it. Currently all the Dems give us are women who are bad cartoon characters.
It has nothing to do with sex or color. They earn the disrespect just like men do, and if they can’t take the heat, they can exit the kitchen.
Excellent!
Oh please they boldly cheated the election and it certainly hasn’t injured their self esteem.
Kamal isn’t Black.
But it’s nice to know they are going to back off on their Leftist attacks against Candace Owens and Condoleezza Rice.
Lori Lightfoot is a walking troll doll and Kamala Harris is a silly prostitute who got lucky.
Oops! I wasn’t supposed to say that. It’s disrespectful. I guess I can forget about being hired by the Chicago Sun-Times.
“Relentlessly stupid” is a pretty good description of Chicago Mayor Leadfoot.
Nobody treats black women worse than....black men.
“They have had their intelligence, leadership, or commitments questioned, as if there is nothing they can do that is right.”
Maybe they should try doing something right.
Just a thought.

I happen to agree.....................
You misspelled "Udders".
Define “leader”.
