Two Interesting videos on Congresswoman McKinney
The trailer for American Blackout is up:

It may finally be released throughout theaters. I saw it at the Atlanta premiere festival.

And a new short film documenting capitol hill officers talking about the racism on the Hill:

Both are well-worth watching. You won't see this stuff on the media owned, very cynically, by rich white men.

1. This shows that the assault on McKinney was a planned racist act.
It is sad that some people were stupid enough or racist enough to side against McKinney without finding out the facts.

2. McKinney will lose
This use of the New Black Panthers as "candidate
security" will alienate people in a race where McKinney
already trails in the polls.  Hank Johnson will be every bit
the progessive Congressman without McKinney's embarrassing
baggage.

3. "Embarrassing"??? Apparently you didn't catch "Stammerin'" Hank's
debate performance. He's a complete dunce. :dunce:

4. And you wonder why we can't win elections...
You support McKinney and no other Democrat need apply, lest he
be called a dunce by members of his own party.

6. Dopey clown...
This comment displays only slightly more class than the McKinney supporter who called Hank, a fellow Democrat, "uncle Tom."
