The final part of our 6 part interview with Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney. We get a chance to talk about voter fraud, those electronic voting machines, being called a "spoiler" and equal access to the media.Mention to someone that you're thinking about voting for former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader and they'll respond, "So, you're voting for McCain!" Or they'll say, "You're wasting your vote." And if you're black and not planning on voting for Obama, you may be labeled a "hater" or an "Uncle Tom." I know. I've been called those names. Poet Amiri Baraka, never one to be shy, has labeled all those not supporting Obama as "rascals."It doesn't matter that McKinney is herself African American or that Rosa Clemente, her running mate on the Green Party ticket, is a hip-hop activist and an Afro-Puerto Rican. What matters, for most, is that Obama represents the first realistic chance for a black American to win the White House, and that he is better than McCain.But should those be the overriding considerations?While Obama is cosmetically attractive, he is still a status quo politician. What's more, he has gone out of his way to disparage members of the African American community as a way to ingratiate himself with white voters. And he sometimes defends the same rightwing positions as his Republican counterpart, as when Obama supported Bush on the FISA bill and agreed with Scalia on the D.C. gun ban.Aside from Obama's limitations, there's the question of movement politics. If we believe that the two party system rigs the electoral game, if we believe that corporate money contaminates both parties, and if we believe change comes from below, then why must we get in line behind Obama?With these thoughts in mind, I went out to explore the McKinney candidacy. McKinney, who served as a Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives for twelve years, left the Democratic Party last year to join the Greens. In Congress, she had one of the most progressive records. And as a Presidential candidate, she offers up a coherent agenda.. |

Omar Benson Miller Interview - The Express He was an outstanding young man of great character who served—and my hope is, will continue to serve—as an inspiration to the young people of this country.—John F. Kennedy on Ernie DavisIn America in the late 1950s and early 60s, one young man became a symbol for a country grappling to move past its long-held views of people of color. His unprecedented journey unfolded as he shattered not only sports records, but also perceptions of what was possible for an African-American at the time. His name was Ernie Davis, but fans knew him better as The Elmira Express. This film is a tribute to his courage.Based on a true story, The Express follows the extraordinary life of college football hero Ernie Davis (ROB BROWN of Finding Forrester, Coach Carter). His quiet fight for equality and respect forever changed the face of the game, and his civil rights story continues to inspire new generations. Born in 1939 and raised in poverty in Pennsylvania coal-mining country by his grandmother and grandfather (CHARLES S. DUTTON of Secret Window, Gothika), before moving to Elmira, New York, Davis hurdled social and economic obstacles to become one of the greatest running backs in college football history. Under the guidance of legendary Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder (DENNIS QUAID of The Rookie, Any Given Sunday), he became a hero who surpassed Jim Browns achievements and became the first African-American player to be awarded the Heisman Trophy, college footballs highest individual honor.OMAR BENSON MILLER (Jack Buckley) recently appeared in Things We Lost in the Fire, co-starring Halle Berry. He was also in Curtis Hansons Lucky You, with Drew Barrymore and Eric Bana, and had the lead in the independent feature Man of God.Miller started his Hollywood acting career in Disneys cross-dressing comedy, Sorority Boys. The film was shot while he was still enrolled in film school at San Jose State University, where he was subsequently named best male actor of his graduating class. Immediately following graduation, Miller landed a highly coveted lead role opposite Eminem in Hansons hit feature 8 Mile. The ensemble cast also featured Mekhi Phifer, Kim Basinger and Brittany Murphy.Miller next appeared in HBOs Undefeated, directed by and starring John Leguizamo. He then showed a lighter side of his talent in the romantic comedy-drama Shall We Dance, starring Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. He also appeared in Jim Sheridans film Get Rich or Die Tryin, alongside Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and Terrence Howard. Miller recently worked with director Spike Lee on Miracle at St. Anna.He makes his directorial debut with Gordon Glass, an independent feature in which he co-stars with Evan Jones.Footage Courtesy of Universal PicturesA BlackTree Media ProductionHosted by Ms. Ameerah BanksProduced by Jamaal FinkleyEdited at BlackTree TV Studios Culver City CAhttp://www.blacktree.tvjoin us on our social network at http://my.blacktree.tv |
