She views this as just a continuation of her on- going problems with these agencies, and, she says, it's because she is a black woman. I say, of course it is, so what else is new? Girlfriend do you think because you are a congresswoman you are immune from your Rodney King moments? I think not. You ask any black person out here if that type of treatment is unusual and they will tell you no. Ms. McKinney's problem is that she now sees herself as an all powerful congresswoman that no one should f**k with it. And when some lowly white police officer questions her authority it really sends her over the deep end. This type of mind sent might have been the genesis of many of her problems in the first place. Nobody, -black or white- likes it when someone plays the "don't you know who I am?" game, and Ms. McKinney seems to be one of those individuals who likes to remind others of just who she is.engagement ring ukhttps://www.kuchijewels.com/product-category/kuchi-tribal-jewellery/necklaces/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1146318616207122192006-04-29T09:50:00.000-04:002006-04-29T09:50:00.000-04:00Mark, my white gloves are always on with respectfu...Mark, my white gloves are always on with respectful honest dialogue-which, by the way, you always bring. So I don't think we will have that problem. Having said that, I still disagree with you about the conduct and the perceptions of the capitol police. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you also about the liberal and conservative gangs , all with an agenda and all with an acts to grind. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, if I ever fall into that category someone will call me on it. But for now, I, like you, consider myself a straight shooter with only my people's best interest at heart. <BR/><BR/>FNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1146080060418300972006-04-26T15:34:00.000-04:002006-04-26T15:34:00.000-04:00FN said:Mark, thanks for the constructive criticis...FN said:Mark, thanks for the constructive criticism, and I understand your point about submitting to authority. I, like you have a serious problem with lawlessness in our communities, and I am front and center here in Philadelphia fighting that fight every day. <BR/><BR/>God bless you on this one we all should be fighting as hard as we can against crime in our community. <BR/><BR/><BR/>FN said: Wrong again, and you have totally mistated my position. It is never right to act the fool; but it is always right to stand up if you think you are being discriminated against or wronged in some form or fashion. Cynthia McKiney might be an arrogant bore who thinks too much of herself.<BR/><BR/>FN you are right it is always right to stand up for yourself, the question is how you stand up for your self. Also think about this the officer asked her to stop 3 times and she didnt, then when he tried to stop her she hit him. You failed to mention in your rebuttal to me that none of this would have happened if she had stopped like the police officer asked her to.<BR/><BR/>FN said: It still does not excuse the capitol police for treating Ms.McKinney (A Congresswoman no less) in a disrespectful manner. Lapel pin or not, I doubt seriously if we would be having this discussion had that been a white male congressman. Again, I have not seen the video tape and I might be wrong. But my experiences tell me that as a person of color, we don't get the benefit of the doubt in situations like the one that took place here. <BR/><BR/>In which disrespectful manner did the police treat the congress woman? <BR/><BR/>Your also most likely right that we dont get the benifit of the doubt in those kind of situations. <BR/>But at the same time Cynthia McKinney has a bully pulpit to use. She had lots of tools in her arsenal ( tools that average citizens do not have) to use, If she had a greivance Im sure that the congress has procedures on how to handle greivances even against the officers charged with congress security. If the behavior of the police was racist shouldnt she have dealt with it in an official manner so as to protect the other black members of congress from that type of treatment.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that would not have happened if she was a white male, but I doubt if a white or black male would come to congress with a totally different hairstyle, so much so that a police officer would not recognize them. She played into a the sterotypical Angry Black Woman role. If they are really out to get us then the Congresswoman played her assigned role perfectly.<BR/><BR/> Cynthia McKiney might be an arrogant bore who thinks too much of herself, but if that capitol police acted inappropriately towards her he should be called on it. You seem like a smart guy and I respect your opinion. <BR/><BR/>I do think she's an arrogant bore.<BR/>If the police were acting over the top then they should be dealt with in the most effictive way possible.<BR/><BR/>FN said: You would bow to authority even if you know you are right and it is wrong. I, on the the hand, will never take such a position. <BR/><BR/>Brother FN as much good will as I have for you, you have to understand that people like me are niether left or right, liberal or so called conservative. We are mercenaries and we go were the truth leads us even if it causes us personal discomfort. My intellectual 45 is loaded and pointed at many different wig peices, some conservatives, some liberals, you get the point. All of them have a red dot on thier forheads and you know what happens then P.S as a wanna be intellectual I am not allowed to respond to cheapshots thierfore the white gloves shall remain on until further notice. Peace FN.

I, like you have a serious problem with lawlessness in our communities, and I am front and center here in Philadelphia fighting that fight every day. <BR/><BR/>But respectfully, I have to say, you missed my point. Just because it is easy for even a black person to mistake another one becuase of a new hair style etc. It still does not excuse the capitol police for treating Ms.McKinney (A Congresswoman no less) in a disrespectful manner. Lapel pin or not, I doubt seriously if we would be having this discussion had that been a white male congressman. Again, I have not seen the video tape and I might be wrong. But my experiences tell me that as a person of color, we don't get the benefit of the doubt in situations like the one that took place here. <BR/><BR/>"Becuase by default people who defend or try to justify anti social behavior.. is saying it'a alright to act the fool.." <BR/>Wrong again, and you have totally mistated my position. It is never right to act the fool; but it is always right to stand up if you think you are being discriminated against or wronged in some form or fashion. Cynthia McKiney might be an arrogant bore who thinks too much of herself, but if that capitol police acted inappropriately towards her he should be called on it. You seem like a smart guy and I respect your opinion. But this is where you and I are different. You would bow to authority even if you know you are right and it is wrong. I, on the the hand, will never take such a position. <BR/><BR/>FNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1145909584390929952006-04-24T16:13:00.000-04:002006-04-24T16:13:00.000-04:00FN I gave you credit when you put together a rebut...FN I gave you credit when you put together a rebuttal in repsonse to a comment on your tom delay post. I have a serious bone to pick with you, Im going to be honest Ive paid attention to this case and from what I understand the officer asked her to stop 3 times and I dont know what community you live in but I grew up in the black community and when a sister has an afro one week and then next week or day she has corn rolls it can be hard to recognize her and you know this. Im starting to get the impression that the post's you leave on your blog are truth according to field negro.Justifying totally inapropiate behavior is non progressive and only hurts us as a group. Especially when young black males have gigantic problems with all kinds of violent crime, most of it against black women and other black people. You are basically brushing off a problem that the black community is being affected by in a serious way. When we let clowns of the hook for totally over the top behavior, as far as I am concernced we are helping to hold down and even slow kill our entire race. Because by default people who defend or try to justify anti social behavior is saying to all other black it is alright to act a fool. No group of people are affected by violence the way black people are, all she had to do to avoid any incident is stop when the Police officer ask her to stop. And lets keep it real FN when I shave and get a hair cut thier are some people at work who might not notice me at first and I am a man. Shame on you for writting a post about that story and then conviently leaving out that they the police had asked her to stop 3 times. This is not honest dialog this is propaganda. Shame on you as one of the few educated black men around. A lawyer at that unbeleivable.

And yes, I might be wrong about the officer -although I doubt it- and I might be wrong about Ms. McKinney's sense of entitlement because she is a congresswoman-I doubt that too- <BR/><BR/>But the bottom line is I have no agenda other than to call things the way I see it. If you will notice, I am equally as hard on black people as I am on everybody else. My main goal is to promote an honest debate, and to uplift black people from within. No handouts,no lying to ourselves about the man, and certainly no compromising of our dentity. <BR/><BR/>FNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1144010964252435452006-04-02T16:49:00.000-04:002006-04-02T16:49:00.000-04:00"He still sees himself as a white man, and Ms. McK..."He still sees himself as a white man, and Ms. McKinney as a black woman [just another n*****]. Being white in his mind automatically gives him status."<BR/><BR/>Hey field negro, are you a lawyer AND a mindreader? Has that h***y policeman confided his deepest thoughts to you? <BR/><BR/>IF you want to give Cynthia McKinney the benefit of a doubt that's fine, just give the policeman a similar benefit. You've already convicted him of being part of some vast racist "get Cynthia" conspiracy.<BR/><BR/>Then there's this howler: "...and all of white America is praising that policeman...blah,blah,blah."<BR/><BR/>You're a lawyer so you know a sweeping generalization like that wouldn't stand up in any court<BR/>except the the court of your racial fever swamp. In this case I'm afraid truth is going to trail far behind the agendas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
