Blacks have learned from generations of white southerners to yell “race” whenever things get tough. I don’t blame McKinney, it was George Wallace who after an electoral defeat said he would not be “outni…ered” again.

No. Race had nothing to do with this incident. Cynthia McKinney is, and always has been, crazy…as are the people who votes her into office. This was just another incident of an African American playing the “race card” becuase he/she does not want to take responsibility for their ignorant actions.

Just wondering if she is going to be charged or not? I live in her district of Stone Mountain and i can tell you that not only is the crime high but trash is on the side of every street. Where are my tax dollars going? Also my taxes keep going up but no one can sell because people are scared to move here. I blame all of this on Ms. McKinney because she has not kept any promises. Memorial Drive is turning into a ghetto. Crime abounds. Cynthia please go away. Thanks Richard. PS Just last week a stabbing took place in a Kroger parking lot on Hairston in broad daylight.

Rep. McKinney is back in office because she told the truth about George Bush. Period. Isn’t it interesting how Americans continue to stick their collective heads in the sand when it comes to an honest discussion about race and gender politics in America? Voters in Dekalb county continue to send Rep. McKinney to Congress because she is a warrior for the little guy, and she’s not bought off by the corporate machine which is why she continues to get trashed in the AJC.

Richard, I live in DeKalb county and perhaps you need to start a block club and get active in your community instead of blaming ONE elected official for your community woes. What have you done to help heal the problem? I would venture to guess, “Nothing!” Politicians can only do so much to heal a community - they need you to become involved!

The only racial issue in the McKinney incident was McKinney herself. She wasn’t getting any press of late, so she decided to stir up a confrontation. A confrontation of her own making. She’s been working on a “documentary” she claims shows how racism is at work in Washington D.C. This incident was something she wanted to add.

As the daughter of Bill “the J-E-W-S are responsible” McKinney, Cynthia can’t claim racism if she, herself, and her family are also guilty of it. When was the last time she assisted one of her caucasion constituents? For that matter, just please tell me one thing that McKinney has done for ANY of her constituents!

I live in the 4th District and I am part of the district that does not identify with nor do I support this woman. She ONLY represents the ghetto mentality of the 4th District, no me and not my neighborhood. Someone asked what Ms. McKinney has done for the 4th District. I can tell you that the only bill she has sponsored is a bill to open up the investigation into the death of Tupac Shakur. Saturday Night Live did a great skit on her this past week-end, showing her as the crazy out of touch madwoman she is. Here is what we must do to remove her from office and remove her we shall. Georgia has open primamry elections, all Republicans in the 4th District need to vote Democrat on primamry day, vote for her opponent, then on election day switch back and vote Republican. This is pefectly legal in Georgia and its how we got rid of her the first time. She is arrogant and viollent much like her supporters. This is the 5th altercation she has been invloved in, she is a thug, plain and simple. The racist are the ones that support her. She can be removed and she can go away with all the other has been out of touch relics that hang on to her like a fungus.

Let me get this straight.

The Vice President hunting without a proper license shoots a guy in the face during a canned hunt and nothing. You don’t hear a peep out of the necons.

Cynthia McKinney Walks through a security check point that she has been through countless times before, isn’t recognized and slugs the guy who grabs her from behind. There’s already a grand jury hearing the “merits of the case” and the necons are calling for her head on a platter or at the very least for an arrest warrant to be issued and are referring to her as a ghetto slut? A ghetto slut mind you, not crazy or feeling too self important, but a ghetto slut.

What race in the ghetto do you think is being referred to?

I was way down Columbia not too long ago and saw the lines of people wating to vote. A quick look at these folk would go a long way to explain why she was in office. Not one male had pants that fit. I have never seen so much underwear in my life.

This is an extreme example of “playing the race card” . I think not only she should be punished, she should punished with the maximum punishment. People voted her to make laws, not break laws. No matter what color you are, ther NO EXCUSE to hit a police officer. She always had this ego problem. Some black leaders really played a good part here by not backing her up. We all know there is race problem in the country in general, at the same time, we should reject all kinds of “race card playing” thugs

My understanding of the incident: McKinney, changed her hair may or may not have gained weight and failed to wear her ID badge. Security either touched or grabbed her arm, unaware of who she was, she either slapped or punched the security officer, who happened to be white.

Now what is wrong with this picture? Why are these people issued “ID Badges”? McKinney claims that she has “never” worn her ID badge.

Like everybody on earth knows who she is? Or, is security supposed to be made aware that she will not be wearing her badge?

To assume that you are so important that security will automatically know who you are, when many people are passing through security checks is ludicrous.

Having “never worn” her ID shows that either she wants something to happen or she is ignorant and refuses to obey rules.

Only when talk of prosecution comes about, does she then holler race. Like hollering race is going to take away what she has done. Whenhen hollering “race” didn’t work, she apologized.

Security officers are in place for a reason. ID badges are made to be worn to keep these “incidents” from happening. For every action we perform, there is a reaction.

Maybe it is good that our children see that for everything we do, good or bad, there are consequences. Think before you act.

I live in her district in Dekalb and would like nothing better than to see her replaced with an effective leader. She had the perfect opportunity to react differently but instead opted to take the low road. After the 4th time the officer asked her for her ID she could have replied ” I’m so sorry officer, you must not have recongnized me, I am a Congresswoman.” She is a law maker, she very well knows there are no acceptable legal reasons to strike a police offcer. You can file charges against them if you have been violated, you cannot strike back. She knows this and in her position she should be setting examples, and not the kind she set. She shot herself in the foot with this incdent, now she is being investigated for illegal spending of funds and being spoofed on SNL as a crazy woman.

I sincerely do no believe race played a part in this post 911 world. What if she were a terrorist or someone with nefarious motives and the officer had allowed her to continue on after her refusal to stop as asked and something horrific had happened? Who do you think would be the first one berating the officer for not doing his job and demanding he be fired? I believe it would be Cynthia McKinney - based on past performances.

Racism happens to people in many situations (whether your black, white, hispanic, etc.) , but not in this one. I think that if anyone is racist in this situation, it is Cynthia. The man was just doing his job. By the way Cynthia, there were two other people stopped by this individual on that day…. guess what, they were white.

McKinney is undeniably a racist, a bigot and is now also seen as a petulant thug who assaults ordinary police officers just quietly doing their job.

She has no part in GA public life, nor does her racist father who clearly despises Jews. She absolutely has no place in Congress which is meant for mature intelligent folks who dont have petty unsavoury racist worldviews. Why Majette stupidly gave up her congressional seat for a pointless run for the senate is something all clear thinking Georgians regret.

While its pretty funny laughing at someone as innately bigoted as McKinney its also very sad that the folks in her district have to endure her aggressive racism and haughty indifferent arrogance time and again. Her corrupt political machine is ghetto politics at its very worse and you’d think black politicians above all others would seek to transcend that.

The Capitol cops stop everyone they HAVE TO, of all races. She is the only black bigot in congress who has literally made ‘a federal issue’ out of it. It would have taken 10 - 20 seconds to have resolved the matter politely. Instead McKinney has deliberately stirred up the usual black bigots who screech racism for no reason other than they hate whites.

Imagine McKinney’s endless screeching if someone race baited her the way in the same way she tried to racially oppress this innocent officer.

She should be charged with a felony assault and when legitimately convicted jailed for the maximum sentence.

Mckinney is actually guilty of being an arrogant black bigot whilst in Congress!!

Being from her district she has sparked a lot of debate in regards to her ablity to be an effective leader for the 4th District. My neighbors, both black and white, are upset with her now and how she reacted to the situation. It is good to see both sides agree that this incident was not race based. What concerns me is that I am only hearing this from the private sector and not those that could voice a strong opinion here. When the bodies of US soldiers were mutilated and displayed, where were the leaders of the Muslim world when we needed them to speak out against that. The same here, where are the black leaders who know what she did was wrong and why aren’t they at the podium calling foul? Where is the Black Political Causus, John Lewis? I know they may disagree in private but this is a time for public condemnation, not private.

She is an absolute disgrace. She claims racism when she’s getting preferential treatment. She slugs a cop and it’s been almost 2 weeks and nothing has happened. If the average Joe (white,black,green,yellow, or purple) gets pulled over for a speeding ticket, gets outs, and slugs the police officer, they butt would be hauled off to jail immediately. No questions asked. McKinney gets to go on through to her day at work and hasn’t been prosecuted yet.

McKinney also claimed the officer was racial profiling. She also said that it is his responsibility to recognize her. That being said, she is only 1 of 4 black congresswomen. If she expects him to recognize her, isn’t that racial profiling as well?

She is an embarassment to our country and our state. She has given a very solid reason for other states to laugh at us. But hey, look at the gang that voted her in and that pretty much explains it.

Whether race played a part in this incident is in my opinion not the issue. We will never know whether the policeman recognized Cynthia or not, but Cynthia being an elected official had a responsibility to respond in a way that represents the people of the fourth district well.

All law enforcement who work on the Hill have duties that you and I would not take and be happy about. To do their jobs…you have be alert, smart, and at the same time try and remember people names and faces. Most of those officers don’t and so much come before them until its impossible for them to change shifts and be ready to know everyone who comes and goes…including Congressmen/women. Ms. McKinney perhaps was hurt beccuse the officer did not know who she was! To carry on as she did was not at all professional as a Congresswomen and regardless if the officer touched her. If he put his hands on her to stop her; that was part of his job. Touching her in other place(s) other than her arms…I don’t think the officer did it on purpose. When he attempted to stop her as she was going through; her movement and her attempts to ward off his hands cause him to touch her improperly. As an officer, he has that right to prevent anyone from coming through the security if they have no ID or could not be identified. Making something simple and turning it into something big cause a lot of stuff that never should surface. Don’t blame the police officer for doing his job. Ms. McKinney could have been more professional by saying…I am Congresswoman McKinney, I left by badge, but here is by picture I.D. That’s all was necessary and the officer might not have tryed to stop her from entering the security gate to past. On the Hill in Washington, everyone and everybody remain on alert and the color of a person skin, or who they has no weight. It’s merely following guidelines and rules as those who live, work and play there come and go!

There’s a difference between assaulting a police officer and reacting to someone grabbing your arm from behind. One is deliberate and the other is reactive, not right, just reactive.

The question posted here isn’t whether or not the security/police officer was a racist, it was did race play a part in the incident. In this case, perhaps so. I can’t say for sure because I wasn’t there. Since there were two sides to this story, I will to listen to both.

Actually McKinney hadn’t walked through that checkpoint countless times. She was on her way to a meeting in a building she rarely goes to. I am sure the guard in the building where her office is would have recognized her.
McKinney and many politicians, crave the spotlight and part of me wouldn’t be surprised if she had predetermined that she was in need of some sort of controversey to get back in the papers. As for race, racial tension is how she earns her money, if there were racial harmony she would never be elected and she knows it here is a qoute almost 100 years old In 1911, Booker T. Washington seemed to address some of those who spoke at the funeral when he said, “There is [a] class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy, and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs… . There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.” McKinney and her ilk (jackson sharpton etc.)are exactly who Booker T was talking about

Listen, the comments reflect the whole problem. Blacks and whites know racsim is out there but we also know the West Nile Virus is out there and it dosen’t mean everyone is infected with it. The real problem is African Americans do not always know what they are dealing with, a racist or a jerk. The guest column by Ruth Marcus ignored this, as most media outlets do. For every “they disrespected me story” related by an African American a European American has one too. I once attempted to buy my mother a very expensive watch. When I paid cash the white clerk stood in front of me and held the money up to the light. She then called the manager over and asked him if he thought it was real. African Americans would say that was race based, I say it was just simply rude and unprofessional. Based on the fact that I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. The real problem we face is based in class discrimination. All rich folks look down at poorer folks or at the best simply just assume we can’t possibly have their abilities. African Americans have to get it right BEFORE yelling race.

Take a look everyone, this is prime example of why this race issue continues to be major hurdle in American society today. It is so easy for some white people to tell African Americans to get over it, stop whining, or any of the other stupid comments that come out of their mouths. Amazingly, whenever someone mentions the injustice and flat out MURDER that went on this country for years, all of a sudden we are whining! Look, understand something: As African Americans we don’t have to drag around the past, it is going to be there whether we want it to be or not. And BY NO MEANS should we get over it or forget it (as some of you like to say), because you have to know the past so you can be vigilant for the future. So stop telling us to get over it, it is a really IGNORANT comment! sarcastically We will get over it when you get over and admit all the crap that was dished out. Some people…..

I don’t remember his name—but he was on the county commission for years and was talking about the need to have a credible voice working for us BEFORE THE INCIDENT. PLEASE LET’s get rid of her.

p.s. I saw and talked to her at one of her town hall meetings trying to get her attention on something specific. Sat for 4 hours waiting for my 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe she looked so different in person than in the Photo’s.
