BAR: Cynthia McKinney Deserves Your Support, Obama Does Not

Each time I see Barack Obama, I'm proud - proud for him and proud for this country.  We have had such racism, poverty and neglect under this country under Bush.  Look what a horrible example he set with Hurricane Katrina, didn't help, just because they were the wrong color.

Look at our history - slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow laws, thousands of black men were sent to prison in  the south and killed who had nothing to do with the crimes, just because they were black.  During World War II, in  Tuskegee, the government infected black people with syphlis and just watched them die.

All the great Civil Rights leaders of the 1960s were shot down - Medger Evans, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, and even people who advocated for Civil Rights, like the Kennedys. 

The Democratic Party passed Civil Rights legislation in 1964m and they have voted Republican ever since. 

So much bad history, so much blood, what better way to show that we have evolved into better country than to elect Barack Obama president?  Think of the message it would send to the rest of the world - about us, and about them.  It would be the start of atonement, for all the evil that has been done in our name.
