[Vision2020] Black priveledge

[keely emerinemix]

Wow, J.  Thanks for pointing this out!  I revere Cynthia McKinney and have 
tried, in both my public and private life, to model myself after her.  And I 
think all of us needed your tutorial, McKinney's presence in Washington, 
D.C., continuing as it does to exert such influence here in Moscow, Idaho.  
I shall immediately take her guilt-framed portrait down from my 
conservatory.  Have you a nice 16 X 20 head shot of yourself?

I know I'm privileged as a white woman for nothing more than the opportunity 
to sit at your feet and learn.

Oh, it must be grand to be black; better yet, a black woman politician--or, 
a proud black woman. This double minority/other status evidently entitles 
her to the right to punch Capitol security guards and sling about racial 
slurs as sailors do four letter explicatives with no repercussions 
whatsoever. This repulsive behavior wouldn’t fly for the “good old boys,” or 
anyone else for that matter; quite the opposite. However, the 
go-ahead-and-trample-me, I’m-sorry-for-being-white mentality overrides any 
sanity that might otherwise prevail. Adding insult to injury, this 
characteristic is present in even the most conservative party members. 
What’s next for this black woman politician, now that she can successfully 
evade prosecution by playing the race-gender cards? Perhaps O.J., Rodney 
King, or race hustling reverends like Sharpton, Jackson, or Farrakhan could 
proffer up some advice—as if she’s doing bad on her own.

   McKinney Campaign Website Uses Racial Slurs, Critic Says

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), who charged last March that 
the Capitol Police harassed her because she is "a female black 
Congresswoman," allows posters on her re-election website to use racial 
slurs, a conservative black leader says.

Prominently featured on McKinney's campaign site are messages from people 
supporting the Georgia Democrat who refer to Republicans as "good ol' boy 
cracker-crats" and call a former Democratic opponent "an Oreo black 
candidate."

On the front page of the site, Greg Palast, an investigative reporter with 
the BBC, says: "The good ol' boy cracker-crats of the Republican Party are 
having themselves a regular hootenanny over allegations that Congresswoman 
Cynthia McKinney landed a punch on a security guard at the Capitol."

She later apologized for hitting the officer with her cell phone, saying: "I 
know that the Capitol Hill Police are securing our safety, that of thousands 
of others, and I appreciate the work that they do. I deeply regret that the 
incident occurred."

McKinney, who represented the mostly African-American Fourth District of 
Georgia from 1992 to 2002 and regained her seat in 2004, also links to an 
article entitled "The Beloved Cynthia McKinney" from Michael Ruppert, a 
former police detective from Los Angeles who says he is a friend of 
McKinney's.

In the article, Ruppert attacks former Rep. Denise Majette (D-Ga.) with a 
racial epithet. Majette defeated McKinney in the Democratic primary in 2002 
after the district had been redrawn. She served one term in the House before 
running for a seat in the U.S. Senate.

"An Oreo black candidate named Denise Majette emerged as lots of money 
poured from the coffers of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee 
(AIPAC) funded not only a hate campaign against McKinney, but in support of 
her opponent as well," Ruppert wrote.

"Illegally, thousands of Republican voters crossed over to vote for the Oreo 
in the primary while the seat stayed safely Democratic, and all were quietly 
relieved when Cynthia didn't even make it to the general election," he 
continued.

Mychal Massie, chairman of the conservative group Project 21, said McKinney 
is responsible for the comments made by her "loyal fledglings."

"This is on her website; she is responsible for what is on her website," he 
said.

Massie told Cybercast News Service the comments are "morally opprobrious. 
They are disgusting, they are not worthy of any person, much less persons 
who occupy public office, and are sworn to act in the best interests of all 
people regardless of color, race or ethnicity."

"They are just wrong, but they are obviously not out of character for 
Cynthia McKinney or her fledglings," he said.

"Cynthia McKinney has time and time again risen to the lowest common 
denominator to show forth her lack of character, her lack of 
professionalism, her lack of decorum and her lack of respect for rule of law 
or for the provisions that govern others," Massie stated.

"She is not worthy, she is not fit to grace the halls of Congress," he 
added. "She brings with her a hatred, an animus and a racism that should 
have left America at the end of Jim Crow."

Calls made to Cynthia McKinney's campaign office seeking comment for this 
article were not returned by press time.
