Anyone seen the story on her? It\'s no surprise shes a representitive for Georgia. :rolleyes:

What happened? Link?

Why isn\'t it a surprise?
-
She had a scuffle with a security guard and she ignored his request. He reached out to grab her by the arm and when he did she struck him. They want to file a law suit stating that it was crime because she hit an officer.
And I think the whole *I knew she would say that* is that she is claiming it was because of her race...
Seriously, get over it. She should have not struck an officer regardless of how high she feels about herself.
-
But why is Bozco not surprised she\'s from Georgia?
-
Why are you all antsy waiting for an answer? Looking for another argument>?
But yea, lotsa ghetto people in the durty souf. Just ask Clips :)
-
Was there ever a link? I\'m confused. If it was edited out (without an \'edit\' left behind), then could you put it back or lock? I could find out the story, but post a damn link when you talk about a current event.
-
I just was sitting at my computer and saw it on the daily show so I slapped the post together. I had hoped most of you would have seen it on the news or would figure it out. Obviously some of you weren\'t able so here ya go
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/03/mckinney.scuffle.ap/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/03/mckinney.scuffle.ap/index.html)
That link doesn\'t explain it completely, cnn has posted a couple articles. She was asked to stop at a security checkpoint but refused and just kept going. When the officer tried to grab her she turned around and struck him. After the fact shes plays the race card. *gasp* surprise surprise Jon Stewart summed it up quite well but I don\'t have a link to it.
Also, I think THX pieced it together.

Thanks. It\'s just that asking every reader of a thread to spend even the 30-60 seconds it takes to find a specific story with a few hints is a lot of total time wasted when a poster can just post a link from where they are or find it ONCE in the same time.
As for what she did, if the story is accurate (and neither side seems to dispute the actual account much), then she should be charged. Simply put, high-profile public figures entering such a secure location have no excuse for not understanding and tolerating security measures. Even if she thought they were wrong to stop her to see her face, the correct route would have been to make a complaint or bring it up later, not turn around and hit a uniformed officer.
-
Yea, is it that hard to wear a pin stating who you are when you\'re supposed to? I probably wouldn\'t have even cared but seeing her getting in front of the press to say it\'s because she\'s a "black, female congresswoman" aggrivated me. I see the race card pulled every day, didn\'t expect it from someone that\'s supposed to be "educated". Don\'t know why I\'m surprised.
-
i heard about this story...when she played that race card..i was like oboy here we go...she was wrong from the jump...talkin bout those officers are supposed to recognize her :rolleyes:..BIATCH put on your pin! they gave it to you for reason....i didn\'t even know who she was until this incident happened...
-
We all know black people look the same, so of course she should wear a pin! ;)

That we all knew was coming.
-
Yea, from whats been said so far members of the black caucus pressured her to do this. I don\'t buy into it at all. You don\'t claim racism then sincerely say sorry a couple days later.
-
Im so sick of this shit...
I swear there are more racist blacks than there are racist whites. Before you try to tell me Im wrong know this, there is a difference between being prejudice and being racist. Relating everything to race, is being racist. If you can\'t have someone single you out ever, thinking everytime its because youre black, youre racist.

I\'m going to have to agree with you. Alot of blacks, surprisingly educated ones, use the race card all the time.
My letter was posted on my school newspaper and the Dallas Morning News and this is a response from a black supposedly, college graduate. The letter was obviously about immigration reform.
My Response:
"
I did not know the University of Michigan had lowered its standards and accepted the illerarate. Why does it not matter if I\'m in school or not? Just because I have not graduated does not mean I\'m not doing anything for my people. I\'m a Mechanical Engineer/Math major with a minor in Spanish. That is more classes than you could ever handle I\'m sure.
As for the whole rant about my service to this country, I do NOT have to. I\'m doing enough for my country if I become an Engineer (this country is desperately seeking new engineers, did you know that Japan has as many engineers as America? For such a small country??) I have not served in the military and I do not plan to. But, I have 3 cousins an an uncle, two that ARE ILLEGAL, stationed in Iraq and in Europe. I suppose legality is not an issue when it comes to putting your life on the line for ignorant people such as yourself.
I suppose I should congratulate you for making money here in your country and not having to go to another one...? That has no correlation whatsoever to your overall "argument"
You keep bringing up the African-Americans fighting...what are you talking about? If you are talking about the Civil Rights movement, Hispanics WERE part of that. Learn your history. If by a random chance you are refering to the civil war...all I have to say is, WOW. Something is terribly wrong with your analytical skills. So, I suppose you do not have a problem with children that were born here and have never been to Mexico, but are the children of illegal aliens? Are you denouncing your African roots? Seems to me like you are, and correct me if I\'m wrong, the only reason you are here is because you ancestors were ENSLAVED and SOLD BY THEIR OWN people to the Europeans. So, technically, you shouldn\'t even be here! I do not argue when blacks cannot get a job you are right, why? If your whole point is to claim that illegal aliens take your jobs, fine, prove it. I have yet to see a black, white, asian or even a legal hispanic take a job that illegal aliens have. So do not cry over "not getting a job" and if race was an issue, you can be assured that I will have something to say about it. But "not getting a job" is not the issue here.
Actually, I\'m a citizen. Born in Dallas. So, I\'m as American as they come. Hmm, so its OK for you to say "fuck Africa they do not do anything for me" but it is NOT ok to say "fuck Mexico, they do not do anything for me." ??? Lacks logic.
They leave their family...yeah...then they send money and when they do leave they do it in order to FEED THEIR FAMILIES. My dad did the same and now I\'m here. I would show you statistics but I\'m not sure if you can understand numbers. Most immigrants bring their families to the US and most that are young and come to the US are single.
Mexicans where...in Mexico...ruled by the Spanish...being mistreated and abused...by the Spanish. Hmm, yeah, that is why they were not "working for free" like the blacks. They were too busy being abused themselves.
You work at Cingular Headquarters...Yeah, and I drive a brand new Ferrari and live in an estate...
Six figures a year huh? Wow, maybe I should type and have the logic of a 3rd grader if I want to make that kind of money too. What am I doing? Studying, learning, partying and hopefully I\'ll be the one paying you those "six figures" in the future.
BTW, I really do not believe anything you said about yourself. Even a mentally challenged adult can come up with a more logical way of approaching an argument and know a bit of grammar and readibility.

"Ok my dude first i graduated from the university of Michigan. So i do have an american edu. Now how can u say that, it dont matter if ur fucking in school or not, but have u served in the millitary no i bet, have u served ur country no i bet. Well the only reason that those people provide anything thats worth wild here is they r the next slaves big dummies.. I make money here in my country i dont have to go to another country to make any money.. They only provide cheap labor so these fucking crackers can get out of paying people money take that back american people. If these people wanted this country then they should have fought, like blacks did but they didnt they ran like the weaklings they r. Now they want whats theres they have there country to work cheap for. Ok on the african thing Africa isnt my country i never been there but those eidots was in there country 5 yrs ago some sooner than that. I wish i could meet u u sound racist to me, where were u when blacks cant get a job here do u argue about that hell no. Dude if u were fortunate to be an american, cuz i see ur an immigrant and Americans believe u should have atleast 5 generation of family here and not be given to u cuz u starve, fuck that, let u starve its gud then maybe ur country will do something about being poor . Fuck africa they havnt done anything for me. But i have to stay here in this racist country and try to stop myself from killing these crackers.. Cuz we cant go to other countries cuz there not keeping up i wonder why it seems to me they r worried about getting here, stay home and take care of ur mom u fool. These people leave there own family so u know they dont care about America... Trade spaces with a black then tell me if wetbacks or any other ailen should get anything... Ok on immigration where were they when blacks were inslaved why didnt mexicans or whoever do the work then for free.. But now they want to do it for nothing let them starve they only want a free ride... And by the way i work for Cingular here in the atlanta headquarters and make 6 figures what r u doing and if u want to meet lets talk about that I will meet u at southern Methodist University let me know .. I hate immigrants i would love to come see u ok... "
"
Whatever u say u can come to atlanta anytime u want to see but when u do come here be a man and let me see u meet u and ill show u what blacks do to a bitch ass mexican... Put one in ur head ... If ur uncle and cousins r in the millitary that shows how dumb they r fighting for a country that shows them hatred fuck wetbacks hope u rape ur mothers and starve to death.... I was never sold maybe my ancestors but not me, hell yes they get jobs that we dont want but when will we get the jobs they dont want in mexico, lol ... I belong here cuz i wasnt a bitch like u wetbacks and i fought in the army, and still got my degree and fucked cracker women.. Thats something america should think about like ahhhh raping wetback women then u all will go back.. YOU people need to go and blow up Mexico and stop looking for an free ride... If ur uncle or what ever wetback is in the millitary thats a descrace to our country letting 3rd world people in our millitary ... If u dont believe that i work for cingular its probably cuz ur racist and dont believe blacks should have a job.. But plz think about this, anytime u want to come here to see where i work ill invite u and let my boys rape ur gay looking ass take that faggot shit back to mexico.. Now i will beat ur ass smart guy. I bet ur smart enough to keep on sending me email but u wont say anything in my face ... Trust me i will send u a ticket to come here if u need but plz dont be gay and talk shit and cant back it up... Ill show u how us blacks do it here and if ur in texas u should know that we dont get shit here in the us and thats y its so easy to put a bullet in ur head... Come get some hombre like the Mexican i just walked up to yesturday and rubbed his bitches ass and when he said something i bet that was the last thing he says for a long long time get me.............. Faggot.......... I dont care if u were born here u dont have what it take to be american we rnt homo punks......... Now send me more email im comming looking for u... Daniel at Southern Methodist University and yes Michigan wants great football players so I took my crack selling ass there and gave it to crackers and raped there bitches ......... And now I have a gud job.. hahahaha ............ But gud luck to u hombre just be cool and dont talk shit unless u can take care of urself and not end up in a ditch........."

^Wow.... so much to say about that.
-
And you thought i would stand by and let you cats disgrace the black race?...as always ignorance abound. first off, let\'s be clear..there are are assholes in every race..and NO there isn\'t more racist blacks than there are whites...so you see one african american use the race card and now everybody uses it as a crutch?...:rolleyes:....i read some of that dribble above, but then he just started going off into another world...I can name a number of times when white people used all other kinds of excuses when a minority was seriously injured or killed but it clear that RACE was a huge factor...I\'ve already stated this chickenhead lady was wrong from the jump,...but that doesn\'t open the door for some in here to call open season and say that blacks are more racist than whites...that can statement alone is pure ignorance....

We aren\'t disgracing them, theyre doing it themselves. I know it\'s hard to swallow but its a fact.
-
We aren\'t disgracing them
THEM?
It was one woman. Singular.
You\'d be right if you said "We aren\'t disgracing her."
You\'d be part of the problem if you applied Cynthia McKinney\'s behavior to all blacks.

Read the quote please, and quit trying to turn it around on me.

y\'know usually i have the energy to engage in these racial threads, but today i\'m really not in the mood,...to make a point and to break it down to your understanding,..there was this guy who was head of the republican party...i forgot his name but some guy named frist or first took his place, for whatever reason the guy that was there before frist made some type of dissrespectful racial statement towards afri. americans,..now i can easily say that this guy is disgracing the whole white race..right?..WHOOPs! can\'t do that because there have been a number of white people who have said harmful and disgraceful things against afri. americans,..some have even disgracefully killed some afri. americans just for the color of their skin...:ohnoes:..hmmm thinkin the way you do mostly all white people are a disgrace, but i know that is most definitely not the case.. that one person(cythia mckinney) does not represent the whole african race.....do you get the point now?...
-
I get your point, and I know that she doesn\'t represent all blacks. And neither does that republican.
What Im saying is that most of the time when the race card is pulled out, its really someone being so defensive and its not about race. And what most minorities dont realize is that its a slap in the face. Its a sign of mistrust, and its keeping the past alive. What really pisses me off is that a lot of these people who constantly pull the race card are leaders of the black community which just hurts everybody not only blacks.

well i wouldn\'t say most of the time,..perhaps "sometimes" would be be more appropriate..and for the most part i agree...
