Grand Jury Declines to Indict Rep. McKinney

The encounter began when McKinney tried to enter a House office building without walking through a metal detector or wearing the lapel pin that identifies members of Congress.

McKenna did not recognize her as a member of Congress and asked her three times to stop. When she ignored him, he tried to stop her. McKinney then hit him.

McKinney described the encounter as "racial profiling," insisting she had been assaulted and had done nothing wrong.

McKinney is black. McKenna is white.

So, let's recap:

1. She enters a House office without the proper identification.

2. She is asked to stop -three- times.

3. When the officer attempted to stop her, -she- hit him.

4. She then basically calls him a racist publically.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus privately urged McKinney to put the matter behind her. The next morning, she appeared on the House floor to apologize.

So, she did eventually appologize. Still, the race card is pulled out way too often. Would a slap on the wrist been so bad?

This kinda shit pisses me off.

She didn't want to go through a metal detector. (Umm, little strange)

She didn't have ID (Kinda dumb)

She hit an officer (If just anyone did this, they'd be arrested on the spot)

Then she claims it's a race thing? Come the fuck on. Next thing you know everytime anyone even LOOKS at a black person its a race thing, and shits going to hit the fan.


Come on people, grow the fuck up.

That's already the case. Anytime anything unfortunate happens to a black person it is always some form of racism. Everyone knows there's a racial divide in America, but a lot of this shit is just unproductive bitching and whining with no end. It's easy to complain about something, but something different to try and create a solution.

Look at the congressman with 90,000$ in his freezer. He's been ousted and the black caucus cries foul. Technically he is not charged and only being investigated. But give me a fuckin' break, how shady is having 90,000$ (in cash) stashed in your freezer? The democrats wanted him out because it weakens their case against the republicans as crooks (for the coming elections). The black caucus knows this and shame on them for concluding otherwise.

Many might say what happened to Cynthia McKinney was because of racism. The fact is had she NOT been black she would be up for assault on an officer. These people are actually making racial tensions worse.

It's actually the problem the "left" faces, not the right. On the left or liberal side of America people have to be, and are expected to be, so politically correct that any time something involving race/sexuality/gender/age comes up.

Truly our country, at one point, was pretty disgusting in its treatment of minorities. But we've come full circle now and wince every time a minority, woman, homosexual, or other minority is in trouble to the point where we are willing to look the other way at the expense of "looking racist".
