playing the race card

i think atlanta congresswoman cynthia mckinney might be related to naomi campbell. this chick allegedly struck a capitol police officer in the chest after he would not let her thru a checkpoint on her way into a meeting at the capitol. she didn't have on her security pin and the officer said he didn't recognize her and i guess she was offended so she did what any rational black person would do. she went ghetto on his ass.

i believe that there is a warrant out for her arrest despite the fact that she is claiming to be an innocent, female, black congresswoman. yeah, she was quick to pull the race card on their asses. i know, i know, anytime you're dealing with a white cop/black person you have to throw the possiblity of racism into the equation, but DAMN.

am i the only black person who thinks she should just apologize and let that shit go? she was wrong. point blank. if you didn't have your security pin on, yo ass is gonna get checked at the door. she said he should have recognized her, but she knows damn well that we all look the same to white folks. there was also something said that since she changed her hairstyle she looked a lot different so that's why the officer may not have recognized her.

wow, she's just a regular ol' chameleon isn't she? but on the real, she does look hella different now than she did with those sealy from the color purple braids.

i want to take her side, but the way she just threw race in there so quickly just made me sick to my stomach. where's jesse & al? they ain't on their jobs on this one. maybe they feel the same way i do.
