Young Black MI Voters on Race
Race
has
been
a
big
topic
in
the
election
this
year,
and
the
racial
divisions
in
the
US
are
center
stage.
But
are
we
really
having
an
honest
discussion?
Nadir
spoke
with
several
young
African
American
voters
in
Michigan
and
with
Green
Party
presidential
nominee
Cynthia
McKinney
about
how
race
is
affecting
the
election
debate.

Prtty
good
video
but
Cynthia
McKinney
is
a
rabid
anti-semite
who
blamed
her
defeat
in
Congress
on
Jews
having
too
much
power.
What
a
nut
job!
Why
not
talk
to
David
Duke?
(Please
don't!)
Re:
Nadir
426 days ago
You're
tripping.
Cynthia
McKinney
isn't
anti-semitic.
Arabs
are
Semites
too,
and
she
is
definitely
pro-Palestinian.
Someone
in
her
campaign
blamed
the
Jews
for
her
defeat,
but
the
truth
is
more
complicated.
Crossover
voting
by
Republicans
and
poor
turnout
among
some
of
Ms.
McKinney's
constituents
who
were
tired
of
the
controversy
caused
her
defeat.
Ask
Ms.
McKinney
about
it.
She'll
tell
you.
Or
watch
American
Blackout.
From
my
understanding,
McKinney's
criticism
of
Israel
caused
her
much
trouble
which
is
an
indication
that
Israel
DOES
wield
a
lot
of
power
in
US
politics.
Criticism
of
Israel
is
NOT
anti-semitism.
Colin
Powell
told
you
that.
And,
by
the
way,
I
WOULD
interview
David
Duke.
I'm
thinking
about
interviewing
the
American
Nazi
Party
which
is
headquartered
in
my
state
to
ask
them
about
their
reaction
to
Obama's
campaign.
Don't
you
believe
in
free
speech?
And
you
should
NEVER
compare
a
patriot
like
Cynthia
McKinney
to
David
Duke.
McKinney
causes
controversy
because
she
asks
the
hard
questions
and
makes
tough
statements
based
on
her
understanding
of
the
facts.
The
only
"nut
jobs"
that
irritate
me
are
the
ones
who
call
people
"nut
jobs"
because
they
hold
a
differing
opinion,
express
dissent
or
question
the
status
quo.
Please
be
more
respectful
when
commenting
here
in
the
future,
and
please
refrain
from
name
calling.
Come
correct.
Bring
some
facts
and
substance
to
the
debate.
Don't
bring
hatred,
bigotry
and
ignorance.
It's
counter-productive.
