Sometimes, Cynthia Tucker hits the nail on the head!

[topher]

Anything about both Cynthia Tucker and Cynthia McKinney should have BARF ALERT prominent in the headlines.

This is like having Hillary talk about Diane Feinstein talking about that whale of a senator Ted Kennedy talking about John Kerry who in turn is talking about Al Gore talking about Barf Bill Clinton! (End of BARF PARAGRAPH EXAMPLE)

As I said yesterday, there are only so many Race Cards in the deck. If the racial hustlers want to waste one of them defending Cynthia McKinney, this is a good thing.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

If you're going to call a press conference and muster such prominent supporters as Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, you ought to be sure the issue is important enough to command national attention.

Wrong...this is exactly the type of press conference that these buffoons belong at.

[CheyennePress]

Well, except for the part about the poor, defenseless black men who are being shoved under the deep, dark waters of society.

This world is sink or swim, and when you drive by the basketball courts in the middle of the day in the middle of the week, they're filled with 20-something black men who aren't doing anything to help themselves.

The high school where I grew up was 40% black and one of the better funded schools in the state. There hasn't been a black male in the top 10% of our class in over 30 years. A few black girls defintely made it. Why the discrepancy? You can't really blame it on socioeconomics. A large factory employed a broad spectrum at our school, and socioeconomic status wasn't that disparate.

(Now, I can understand McKinney's frustration over the fact that she is often unrecognized. I share that frustration. More times than I can count, I've been mistaken for McKinney, criticized for things she said or given advice about my braids. In fact, while McKinney wore braids until recently, I haven't worn them since sixth grade. Still, I've never slapped or slugged anyone who confused me with her. But if this keeps up, that could change.)

If a lot of folks really are confusing Cynthia Tucker and Cynthia McKinney, I could understand Ms. Tucker getting a little slappy! I know it is difficult for people to differentiate people not of their own race, but these two women look nothing alike.

I waited for Jesse and Al to take to the streets demanding public policies that would bring black men into the mainstream.

Sure, Cynthia, that will do it, some more "policies."

You can see the legacy of racism in the enduring rates of poverty and poor health among black citizens.

No, that would be the unintended consequences of LBJ's "Great Society" socialist idiocy.

[moneyrunner]

“the legacy of racism is alive and well.” You have to forgive Cynthia Tucker. She is a young, not very bright, product of MSM indoctrination. She spouts conventional wisdom without realizing how foolish she is. Before the federal government, under the Johnson Administration, adopted the destructive social policies that have literally decimated the black population, our black brothers and sisters were integrating into American society. Family formation among blacks in the 1950s was comparable to whites. Anti-social behavior was not tolerated – by black families or society. It is the Cynthia Tuckers that have led to the self immolation of the black people in this country.

[FreedomPoster]

She does, about 1 time out of 10. The rest of the time she's a shill for the Dems and state socialism.

[armydawg1]

stunning......the AJC got it right for once.

[proud American in Canada]

This is a refreshing article by Cynthia Tucker. Perhaps some Democrats are realizing that after Katrina, people are fed up with being called racist for everything that goes wrong. Sometimes people just make mistakes.

[DejaJude]

But a misunderstanding between a second-rate member of Congress

I'll bet McKinney will just love that. *snicker*

"I waited for somebody to call a press conference. I waited for Jesse and Al to take to the streets demanding public policies that would bring black men into the mainstream."

Hey Cynthia, you pinhead. This is America, each of us is responsible for themselves and their children.

That's all.

[bwteim]

It is a refreshing sight to read that Tucker is distancing herself from McKinney and other racists.

Tucker: "No, indeed. The biggest problem facing black America involves a white cop who wouldn't give a black woman her props."

This is essence of the article and *you* hit the nail on the head, beaureguard.

[SuziQ]

It's intersting that the majority of problems that Ms. Tucker attributes to racism are problems WITHIN the black community and should be addressed there, first. White leaders and white people in general have not caused 70% of black children to be born out of wedlock, have not brought about the 'thug' culture, nor the high dropout rates among black high schoolers. All that is going to have to be solved within the black community for those folks to ever have a real chance at success in life.

[demkicker]

Cynthia is right about McKinney and that's it....

I almost hurled when I read this quote:

If you're going to call a press conference and muster such prominent supporters as Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, you ought to be sure the issue is important enough to command national attention.

[SoFloFreeper]

WHAT IF
Tom DeLay had punched a cop in the chest? Just imagine....

CAAAT FIIIIGHT!!!!!

[P-40]

harsh discipline meted out to black boys in public schools

Discipline? In a Public School? Is that legal?
