her and Michelle Obama could be long lost relatives.
Dignity and order.
Like the broken window theory.
My boss’s wife died recently. My boss is black. At the funeral every man and women black and white were dressed in fine but subdued apparel. There were no blue jeans on anyone. All the women wore dresses. They were shown the appropriate respect due good people.
Mrs. DeBlasio is a highly educated women that moves in the highest power circles of the liberal elite of the East Coast and Washington D.C. She is not ignorant of what is proper attire for any occassion and particularly this occasion. This leads me to believe she does not give a damn or this was a calculated insult to the New York Police.
Agree. Kind of like a public figure not saluting the flag.
Or Maxine Waters....
Did she just come in from the back yard?
The two of them look like they just came back from shopping at Walmart. Another definite diss of the police, dressing like that for the funeral of a murdered cop. The officers that turned their backs on these two losers probably did it because they didn’t have eye bleach available at the time.
I have a very good friend whose mother grew up in New York City and was a young woman there in the 1940's and early 50's. They weren't wealthy but I suppose would be considered upper middle-class. My favorite photos - she used to wear gloves out on the town. She and her friends looked so elegant!
It seems to mirror the decline of American society. The shrinking minority in NYC who have the attitudes of traditional public decency, while the majority celebrate their degraded attitudes and status.
Or Ouisey from Moving on Up.
My aunts grew up in the Bronx. Three to a bed, all manner of family coming and going. Lot’s of kids, Not a lot of money.
You know that money is necessary to dressing appropriately.
These people made successes out of their lives and their kids’ loves by acting and dressing with dignity and order.
Anyway, this is terrible.
I don't think you understand the difference between a political statement and a statement of principle.
If I didn’t see it myself, honest to goodness I wouldn’t have believed it!
Looks like she’s going to the barn to milk the cows...
Right,She doesn’t care.
They are filthy in all ways.
My family’s history is also from NY and no way would they be caught dead going out of the house/apt looking like that. They’d sooner die.
What’s really striking here, too, is how usually black women get really dressed for any church event. Even after so many whites started looking like slobs in the late 60s/early 70s, those black church-goers continued to dress to the nines. They do to this day. But Mrs. deBlasio dressed like THAT? And she was there with her husband in an official capacity. Disgraceful. Just breathtaking.
Ghetto mentality.
