Dear Editor,

Can anyone tell me at what point was Damion Crawford disrespectful?

I was at that rally in Portland with my mother, sisters, and sisters-in law, and at no time did I hear Crawford say something that was disrespectful about Ann-Marie Vaz.

Let me make this clear; I love my mother and sisters; I respect the very ground they walk on.

I am certain if Crawford had said or done something wrong my mother, who had been standing next to me, would have said something then and there. As a matter of fact, she would have walked away.

We need to stop this foolishness and listen to reality. The man was just stating the facts. Why is it that we are so afraid of the truth? Yes, it does hurt at times, but it is what is the truth.

I have seen and heard the things that they used to say about our female prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller.

So many negative things have been spewed at her. Not one time did anyone ask the Jamaica Labour Party to stop. She was the “Mama” of the nation. Why didn’t anyone at the time pen a letter to the editor of the Jamaica Observer?

only when the shoe is on the other foot does it become a problem. Open your eyes and ears, listen and be educated of the facts. That was all Crawford was doing; educating the masses.

Let us stop being hypocrites.
