Failed Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) was denied reelection opportunity via the recent Democratic runoff election. She immediately blamed it on being a "black woman in America." I'm sure that I missed a comment somewhere about being gay also.
Let me get this straight: She is a far-left Democrat that was defeated by other Democrats in an election in which only Democrats can vote, but blames her loss on being a black woman?
How about this...She was originally elected ONLY because she is a black woman? Oh, don't forget about being gay.
I have absolutely nothing against any minority, gender, or sexual preference. Do as you please, just don't think that I am required to support whatever that is. However, I am few up with the above situations being used as excuses every time something doesn't go their particular way.

I too am tired of the blame being placed on everyone else instead taking a long hard lok at what they are.
When raising our kids I seldom mentioned race, religion, sex, or sexual preference of a person. I always wanted them to make their own decisions based on actions or achievements not what they are by birth or preference. To define someone implies that their what they are or are not is the reason for their success or failures. Really it defines a person to some extent by implying a prejudice for or against someone.
In my mind when Mayor Lightfoot said she may have done what she blames on those that voted against her to many black girls in America.
Now to think that prejudice does not exist or can be wiped out entirely I do not believe that. I do think that putting labels on someone can have an effect on your kids and perpetuate prejudice.
I have a hard putting my feelings down in writing sometimes. This may be one of them.

She lost because she cannot govern. Chicago residents figured out her liberal policies caused Crime to soar making the city a dangerous place. I have no doubt a liberal replacement will be elected and the trend will continue downward.
