Question

In an interview, Blalock says, "You're either going to give me my respect, or I'm going to get my respect." Blalock describes her expectations for respect in her community. What does she mean by respect?

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

She meant to say that, she is worthy and felt that she earned respect in her immediate community rather than the insult and disrespect she was getting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her statement shows that, either the people in her community accord her the respect she deserved or she would act in such a way to show that she would not tolerate disrespect from anyone. And her action would show and force the people that they have no other option than to respect her as a person.
