One of nation’s former six-term Congresswomen and Green Party presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney and 20 others, has been abducted, by the Israeli government, from their Spirit of Humanity vessel in international waters. McKinney was on a humanitarian trip to Gaza when taken prisoner. Ironically, no mainstream media has reported this terrorist act nor has the Obama Administration made any statements.
This is a reflection of the transparent nature of institutional racism, often hidden but never unnoticed. Why? Here’s an African-American woman who has served her country and the people of this nation, even run for president, but has received no governmental assistance or media outrage after being detained unlawfully by the Israel government.
Reports say this is the second time McKinney has been detained and that there are “plans” for her release or deportation. My big question is, has Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, the staunch feminist who chipped away at the glass ceiling, spoken out or made inroads for her release?
The detainment of U.S. citizens, let alone a former lawmaker, is unacceptable! Do something President Obama!
