I've always wondered what the folks of the 4th saw in Ms. McKinney, but that's who they thought would represent them the best and such is our political process. As a Black man, I was embarrassed by her behavior and subsequent ranting in the media. There's a reason why Representatives were give these credentials to enter the halls of Congress. For her to think she could ignore or test those reasons was childish and unprofessional for someone of her position. Yes my fellow Fayettetians(?), there are Black people here who roll our eyes at ignorance and know that while the media wishes to regard us all as following our "Black Leaders", I and many more like me can think quite nicely for ourselves, thanks!

thank goodness someone actually telling the truth. I praise each of you and your comments.

One thing is for sure, Fayette County does not lack for cowards. People in this county say anything and everything without any accountability by either blogging under a "pen name" (like yours truly) or sending something to Free Speech which better qualifies for a "signed" letter to the Editor. At least Mr. Wilkerson was brave enough to run for office and offer an opinion on the outcome of the election, to which there has been no lack of comments. ENOUGH already!

As a black woman, I totally and completely agree with you. Thank you!!!

Amen!!! Thank you for your comments. I agree with you totally. As a black woman, I'm so tired of people of color throwing out the race card every time something doesn't go their way-particularly when they are in the wrong!

Yes, racism exists (on both sides) but you shouldn't automatically assume that you are a victim of it everytime you encounter/disagree with someone of a different race. My advice...take each man/woman as he/she comes.

Mckinney is a nut (sorry I couldn't resist the name calling because I get so emotional about this issue)!!! Good Lord... she quotes Tupac on a regular basis!!! All those ignorant fools who jumped on her band wagon are an embarrasement to the race!!

Mckinney, Jesse Jackson, Lowery and all of the other black opportunist politicians are the biggest pimps in the country!!!

Just wanted to thank you for your comments.

I guess there is as much a black silent majority as there is a white silent majority. Neither one of us really gets all involved in these childish games but when we cast our vote.

I'm still convinced that the majority of Americans can see right through the charades being played in the media and politics, but sadly it is getting harder and harder to get the real facts. All sides spin everything to their advantage and sometimes you just can't tell which side is up, down, left or right....

Thanks again for your comments and I'm glad that my fellow citizens, regardless of colour, are trying their best to raise good kids and don't care much for all the bullying of these idiots and wanna-be politicians!

PS: I feel the worst this country has ever done for the african-american population is to lower their standards for them and giving them free handouts. If you think about it, that is racist at it's most evil: "Here is a handout, because we know you can't do any better!"

it is called breeding, upbringing, "raised right", and obviously Cynthia has none of the aforementioned. Rather than being glad that the police officer was doing his job, and protecting her, she chose to act a fool. After being addressed three times, could she not have simply identified herself, pulled our her drivers license, or some reasonable action. In this day of terroism, not to mention, just general everyday crime rates; if a police officer were addressing anyone in a crowd, most of us would stop and fully cooperate realizing this is the world we now live in. It does not matter, black, white, red, green, yellow, stripes or polka-dotted, rules are rules, right is right, wrong is wrong. Old Cynthia is simply projecting onto others her racist way of looking at the world; because she thinks that way, she automatically assumes everyone else does too.
