Like you said in another post, Jacuma, the congressional black cankersore. This part really got me hot, though, i wonder if anybody on Assata Speaks wants to do an Open Letter to Kenan the buffoon (or any better ideas someone may have)? He shouldn't skate scott free for this one:
"Around midnight on April 8, Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson
performed a grotesque, bewigged skit in which he conjured up a fat,
sloppy, dull-witted, belligerent, loud-talking, no-listening,
from-deep-in-the-ghetto character who was supposed to be – Cynthia
McKinney. Of course, this TV minstrel’s interpretation bore no
resemblance to the congressperson – daughter of one of Atlanta’s first
Black policemen, a former faculty member at Clark Atlanta University,
world traveler and sought-after speaker, six-term legislator. But that
did not matter. Although SNL does superb work caricaturing public
personalities, its usual standards did not apply in McKinney’s case. The
skit was a dehumanizing assault on Black women as a group, with
“Cynthia” standing in for the female gender of her race."
