Golf Clap

I finally found a “public servant” I can get behind; Minneapolis Park Board member Liz Wielinski cut Nekima Levy-Pounds off at the knees when the local NAACP leader interrrupted, out of order, at a Park Board meeting:

“I’m tired of this. You keep interrupting our meetings,” Wielinski shouted after Levy-Pounds began to speak. “You’re a crude, interrupting adult.”

Any bets on how Levy-Pounds responded?

No bets?

I never get any bets on the response.

With good reason (emphasis added):

Levy-Pounds, who has been involved in multiple protests over racial disparities in recent months, accused Wielinski of exercising white supremacy and speaking to her as a slave. The exchange was recorded on video and later posted on Facebook.
“I’m not your child. Don’t ever talk to me like that again,” Levy-Pounds, a law professor, told Wielinski.

Levy-Pounds is a child; more accurately, a spoiled, entitled teenager, used to stomping over whatever she wants and crying “racist” at anyone who raises a finger at her.

“I was berated and yelled at like a child,” Levy-Pounds said Thursday.

If only.

As for Wielinski?  She’s go the right perspective:

Wielinski said Thursday that she has apologized to the board for an exchange she compared to “The Jerry Springer Show,” but said she has no apology to make to Levy-Pounds. She said Levy-Pounds and others could avail themselves of the board’s regularly scheduled public comment period at other meetings.
“I think I shouldn’t have lost my temper, but we were within our rights to ask people to respect the process,” she said.

One wonders how Ms. Levy-Pounds would react if someone interrupted an NAACP meeting.

  1. Entitled, self-important bigot used to shooting down folks with racial supremacy cards getting called out for immature, ego centric behavior? Thanks for the link that shows there are still some adults in the room.

  2. Wait, I just checked the thing at the bottom of the article, about what racist Levy-Pounds was complaining about. She’s complaining that blacks make up “only” 25% of Park’s employees? She’s actually complaining that blacks are OVER represented in Parks employees and that if there were real racial balance the Parks department would have to CUT the number of black employees?

    How stupid do you have to be to be a BLM leader anyway?

  3. all Ms Levy-Pounds needs is a snappy brown uniform with a Sam Browne belt and her image will be complete.

  4. One wonders how Ms. Levy-Pounds would react if someone interrupted an NAACP meeting.
    She would accuse the interrupter of being a white supremacist.

  5. In a recent presentation at UMass that the SJW’s tried to crybully to a halt, one of the protestors yelled, “Quit treating us like children!” To which one of the presenters, Chrstina Hoff-Summers responded “Stop acting like children.”

    Seems to be appropriate here too.

  6. Her underlying rationale is that civilized rules of polite society do not apply to her, because centuries ago, some people treated other people badly.

    I reject the premise.

  7. Ms. Levy-Pounds is more or less arguing that she sees racism in the fact that there are not enough young black men working long hours in the burning sun for low wages. It’s sad, but hilarious, that she can’t see the obvious historical parallels here.

    (FWIW, I worked two summers in my town parks under the hot sun, did a great job persuading me to study in college)

  8. She gives slaves a bad name. As a descendent of slaves, I demand an apology from that Waste of flesh.

  9. Of course, after Mpls St. Paul magazine did a puff piece on Pounds, her head and ego are as big as her backside.

    I wonder how many people will call for her resignation from her cushy professor position for tarnishing the reputation of the university or her disbarment that she most likely got from her black privilege called affirmative action?

  11. Boss, I’m thinking that firing or disbarment actually requires a criminal conviction, usually. She’s not achieved that.
