Cynthia McKinney's Home Vandalized

Tuesday, January 31, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Cynthia McKinneyCynthia McKinney (D-GA) found her front yard "toilet papered" with VCR tape Sunday when she returned from promoting her new documentary 'American Blackout' at the Sundance Film Festival. "Obviously, someone wants to send a message that they know where I live and can have access to my front yard to do unkind things," she said. The crime was reported to local police.

Her film 'American Blackout' chronicles voting irregularities and supposed disenfranchisement of some African Americans from 2000-2004. McKinney hopes "everyone who cares about our country" will see it. The Congresswoman has been a heavy critic of the Bush Administration and lead a national investigation into the 2000 presidential election irregularities.

Cynthia McKinney also initiated a bill in the House of Representatives last November that calls for the creation of a records collection at the National Archives pertaining to the unsolved killing of emcee Tupac Shakur. HR 4210 calls for "a second repository at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain, Georgia" as well. The center opened Jun. 11, 2005.

I wont be surprise if it was some ignorant n*gga. We're so lost these days that we do some terrible thangs to one another. Quicker to each other than to a "you know who" whose had his foot on our necks for about 400 yrs. The man done made it where we go at each other like two pit bulls in a ring. But "if it was an you kno who" then i aint suprise this is just another example of them being nice! lol

This is unfortunately a bad thing that happened to this woman. However whats more so unfortunate is this statement... Cense251 says: i wont be surprise if it was some ignorant n*gga. We're so lost these days that we do some terrible thangs to one another. Look we don't know who did this to cynthia mckinney's home. And to just bash our people the african americans who you called ignorant n*gga's is horrible.you wont be surprised; wow its sad that you think so low of your folks. That incident could have clearly been an act by the government to send a message to cynthia. But any way support yours before you abort yours. P.e.a.c.e...

First off maybe you should take the time to re-examine my statement. Noticed i said n*ggaz... Theres a difference between n*ggaz and good black folk. Its n*ggaz thats shiesty, killin one another, filled with hate & jealousy, quick to ride wit the man than his own brotha. These people are dumb, deaf, and blind; quick to believe lies than the truth. I never said i dont support my own, but how many of our own support each other? i dont put nuttin past the govt/ but i cant 100 percent put my trust in all of my people cuz theres times they have let me down/ and there are going to be times in the future where some of them will let us down. So plz dont twist my werds!

It's good to see that she is taking a stand because too many black people are just going to accept america for what it is. She is the last of a dying breed! we just recently honored dr. King, and rosa parks along with lorretta king just past away. Fighitng "the man" had always been a rough road to travel. It was very ignorant for someone to vandalize her home when she is trying to do good and continue to fight for the good of all people. But i guess it come along with the territory! she knows that! and i thank god for those who stand up and put their lives on the line to better this world! we all need to take some risks because dr. King id dead- what are we going to do black people? if we are not getting locked up we are getting pregnant or contracting std's- let's start taking care of our communities and live life not destroy one another in an effort to gain prosperity and material things. I thank anyone who has taken the time out to read my long @$$ comment-god bless!

Do you know how sick i am of being labeled like that, makes me F*ck*n' sick....how did i know right away when i read this sh*t the first thing was gonna be a race comment.........who knows who she owes, F*cked over, didn't credit or pissed off to have that done.....i don't know about y'all, but when i was a kid and some lady pissed us off, she'd be lucky it was vcr tape...feel me.....maybe she's not such a nice person to the kids in that neighbourhood, or it could be some raciest redneck cracka that did it because, well he's a F*ck*n raciest redneck bastard, that's why...but holy F*ck, me being white, i felt like i couldn't even comment on this sh*t for fear of being a hypocrit, and yes "i know who" but it ain't fair for any of us, unless your up there.........and i ain't up there, so F*ck dem cracka's.....lol....strong black woman like that, not even gonna slightly phase her.......sorry i take offense, but i've had too defend my love of hip-hop all my life, and known and grown with all types of black people, from everywhere, and white and asian....and you know what i realize, this is from the heart here......that an A**hole is an A**hole, regardless of their colour, some are ignorant and some just fear being themselves, we "all" look to the black community for alot of the culture and lifestyle that we enjoy and i believe the black community has alot to contribute to society as a whole, but there's alot of F*ck*n ignorance man, "we" as in all of "we", need too do better........"cense" respect in

Ya'll gotta know more about mckinney and some of her background. Alot of folks around here don't like her...black, white, dem, 'pub...whatever. She was handed a political silver spoon by her racist father. She don't know $hit bout politics and both her an her father talk before they think, doing stupid $hit all the time. Folks that actually are out to do stuff the right way resent her. She's out for the spotlight and don't belong at the capitol. I ain't saying that she don't do good thangs, she just don't do much of it. Plus, she's uglier than a box of @$$holez. Folk could be getting alot more done with somebody else in there whose goal aint pi$$ing the system off...

Jazzbassmasta is an ignorant fool! why does the system deserve not to be pissed off? trust me the usa is a prosperous society that values freedom and capitialism two elements that help certain people, usually only people that take advantage of it. However this place is still capricious in regard to it's foreign and domestic policies that are ultimately going to seal it's fate. I'm a 24 year old pre-law major whose trying to make it far in life, but people need to realize this country ain't gonna be good for nobody, white,black,yellow, red or brown! the criminal elements of this rampantly corrupt government will help seal the inevitable fate at hand!

This great lady is a real american hero, it's no wonder this and more happens she needs our support. To at least try when the odds are bad only serves to set a positive example for us to witness, hopefully inspire others to do something, anything. This white boy literally blew chunks when hearing this news (very sad). The evil neocon nazi coup needs to get the f--k out of our country. The beautiful men and women of our military i pray will soon return our democracy by first beheading the evil tyrants and giving us our first african american president to prove to the world "we the people" will not stand idle when our liberty is at stake. Be kind to your neighbor for he may be standing alongside you when we all fight to restore our liberty.

A cop stops her because she did not have id to get in then she punches the cop and said he was racist. Shes an idiot. Jazzbass is right.

I'd bet my life someone in cahoots with government did it. I'm sick and tired of people saying it's a racial thing, judging whole groups of people. Two wrongs don't make a right. In fact, anyone who labels anyone with crap like "cracker", "n.....", "fag", "dyke" or any other derogatory term is equally bigotted. Of course, the name-callers could also be government cronies, to incite people, like what happened every time dr. Martin luther king jr. Held a peace march. "outside agitators" would incite people to riot, but once it got going, the agitators couldn't be found. This is a case of censorship, not race bs. It's the type of thing that governments do when they feel threatened by people who are able to get to the truth. Unfortunately, it's not th worst thing that governments can do, as evidenced by the assassinations of jfk, mlk, and rfk, when faced with people who are in positions to influence people to stand together for the betterment of people.

I wish to apologize for not caitalizing all of dr. Martin luther king jr.'s name and title. I was in a hurry and wasn't paying much attention, because the computer i used is on a time limit.

I noticed when my comments were posted, all the proper names and abbreviations were lower-cased, even after i made sure i typed them correctly. Yet it doesn't seem to be consistent, as evidenced by some "commentators"....interesting
