In all fairness she used her gifts to get what she wanted

That’s hardly uncommon for women...

She’s simply not charismatic or terribly informed

Poor choice by Obama’s third term team

Will these racists also stop the disrespect towards whites? NO? Didn’t think so.

I agree 100% that we shouldn't say bad things about them because they are black and female. After all, there are plenty of black females who can command respect for their accomplishments. So, let me reframe the critisms, because this isn't about the race and sex.

Lori Lightfoot isn't an ugly, incompetent, petty, statist, racist douchebag because she is black and female. She is ugly, incompetent, petty, statist, and a racist douchebag because she is a Leftist Marxist Mayor in charge of a city that is violently out of control due to her policies and those like her who came before her.

Kamala Harris isn't an inarticulate, ugly, incompetent, petty, statist, racist, unlikeable Affirmative action prostitute who slept her way to the top because she is black and female. She is inarticulate, ugly, incompetent, petty, statist, racist, and an unlikeable Affirmative Action prostitute who slept her way to the top because she is a Leftist, Marxist Vice President who has shown she is incapable of any job more challenging than laying on her back while the clock is running.

Maxine Waters isn't a hideously corrupt, ignorant, stupid, racist, partisan, statist piece of anti-American ugly dog-crap grifter because she is black and female. She is hideously corrupt, ignorant, stupid, racist, partisan, statist, and an piece of ugly dog-crap grifter because she is a Leftist, Marxist Vice President.

I am all for insulting, denigrating, and criticizing them for the things they can control but but choose not to, rather than insulting, denigrating, and criticizing them for the things they cannot control such as their sex and skin pigmentation, which only matter to Leftists anyway.

Well, Maxine Waters isn’t VP yet, but give her time. Typo on my part.

Are they really black women “leaders” or are they black women politicians that ended up where they are by not by leadership, but by which of the PC boxes they fill?

True equality means that being a member of a “protected class” doesn’t protect you from warranted criticism.

Sorry, but respect is earned, not demanded.

Same goes for disrespect.

How many times did they call for an end to disrespect of Trump or any of their political enemies? 🤪

Never

Criticizing a black woman’s performance is not racism or sexism. And Lightfoot and Harris have done much that deserves criticism.

I wonder how many black women in the Chicago ‘hood see her as one of their own.

They’re WRONG as usual. It’s time to INCREASE disrespect for Marxist, anti-freedom, anti-American leaders, whether they are black women or not.

Bingo.

Unless you are a child of the participation trophy era, you’d know this.

Roll a turd in all the sprinkles you have, it is still just a turd. And, that is the case of all tokens, regardless of their starting point.

Reminds me of an old Affirmative Action joke:

"You're only firing me because I'm Black!"

"No, I only hired you because you're Black. I firing you because you're worthless."

Criticism of female black politicians will be censored by social media. They are getting ready to elevate Kamala Harris to the Presidency.

Harris has been in charge of the southern border for one year. It is worse now than before she started. Harris is absolutely tone deaf. She talked about how things are moving again during the middle of a massive traffic jam on a major freeway.. Harris’s office is in shambles, people heading out the door quicker than if a skunk sprayed. Willie Brown used her as eye candy and a mistress and helped push her to her position as DA in LA. Harris repeated the BS story about “freedom”. What is there to respect?

So you won’t call Candice Owens, Diamond & Silk, and other black Conservative women names?

Right. Apologize to Candace Owens and Condelezza Rice first!
