Reply #18: I live in Dekalb County,

and I'm forced to largely ditto the comments made here by BooScout. McKinny's behavior and style are very much a matter of embarrassment for many liberals here, certainly more white than black. It is also true that there is a racial devide here. Attend any meeting of the Dekalb Democrats and count the white faces. You won't run out of fingers. McKinney was defeated in a re-election bid by another black female, a judge, who after one seriously milk-toast term thought she could get elected to the Senate. That is why McKinney was re-turned to congress. As to her remarks about Bush, they were pre-mature. Michael Moore said just about the same thing in his film 9/11 and won awards for it. McKinney is still excoriated for it.
