The black, female, big-spending Illinois mayor claiming racism and misogyny has a point

“…Last week, Mayor Tiffany Henyard of Dolton, Illinois, went viral for her defense against the town’s trustees who accused her of overspending. According to Henyard, the people attacking her (all of whom are black) were guilty of “beating and attacking a black woman that’s in power.” Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis made the same defense, as did New Orleans’ big-spending mayor LaToya Cantrell. All have said that black women are special. And honestly, all of them are right to say that because that’s what they’ve been told for decades. Given that culturally pervasive message, why shouldn’t they believe they get a pass?…”

Seems to be a very common defense these days. pic.twitter.com/pb8RkRo2WM
