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

\u201cI\u2019m tired of this. You keep interrupting our meetings,\u201d Wielinski shouted after Levy-Pounds began to speak. \u201cYou\u2019re a crude, interrupting adult.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any bets on how Levy-Pounds responded?<\/p>\n

No bets?<\/p>\n

I never get any bets on the response.<\/p>\n

With good reason (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Levy-Pounds, who has been involved in multiple protests over racial disparities in recent months, accused Wielinski of exercising white supremacy<\/strong> and speaking to her as a slave. The exchange was recorded on video and later posted on Facebook.
\n\u201cI\u2019m not your child. Don\u2019t ever talk to me like that again,\u201d Levy-Pounds, a law professor, told Wielinski.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Levy-Pounds\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was berated and yelled at like a child,\u201d Levy-Pounds said Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If only.<\/p>\n

As for Wielinski? \u00a0She’s go the right perspective:<\/p>\n

Wielinski said Thursday that she has apologized to the board for an exchange she compared to \u201cThe Jerry Springer Show,\u201d but said she has no apology to make to Levy-Pounds. She said Levy-Pounds and others could avail themselves of the board\u2019s regularly scheduled public comment period at other meetings.
\n\u201cI think I shouldn\u2019t have lost my temper, but we were within our rights to ask people to respect the process,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One wonders how Ms. Levy-Pounds would react if someone interrupted an NAACP meeting.<\/p>\n
