| Cynthia McKinney to arm our youth at Hip Hop Power Shop |
| 2006-05-25 |
| Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Hosts Hip Hop Power Shop Saturday June 10th, 2006 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The theme of this historic gathering is: "ARMING OUR YOUTH WITH WEAPONS OF MASS INSTRUCTION." Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and the Hip Hop community are coming together to promote the awareness and education of young people. The socio-political impact of our government on the youth can't be ignored, even though their inherent power often is. By "ARMING OUT YOUTH WITH WEAPONS OF MASS INSTRUCTION," teaching the young how to engage in the system, Congresswoman McKinney believes that young people will be able to take their destiny into their own hands, and soar to heretofore unseen levels of achievement. Various legislative initiatives which affect the youth will be discussed with some of the areas leading Hip Hop and Rap artists and community leaders. Enlightenment and empowerment will highlight this year's Fourth Congressional District Hop Hop Power Shop. |

| #11 So should Cynthia be addressed as "bitch" or "ho"? Clearly "ho" as we are pretty clear just how she got voted into office, tu3031. "Bitch" is just after all about being a female with attitude issues. yours truly, Rantburg's unofficial obscure etiquette maven |

| #8 So should Cynthia be addressed as "bitch" or "ho"? I think it's important to get these etiquette items all squared away before the event. Is Letitia Baldrige still alive? |

| #2 Neat Link, thanks! Below are some other useful bit of data found there concerning tatoos. Enjoy! Tupac's Chest Top Left: 2pac Top Right: Queen Neferetete (Egyptian Queen) with "2.DIE.4" below it. Middle: A machine gun and tha words "50 Niggaz". Stomach: The words "Thug Life", with a bullet as the "i". Tupac's Arms Left Shoulder: Panther head Left Upperarm: Jesus' head on a burning cross. Off to the left of the Cross it says "Only God can judge me". On his left inner arm is written "Trust Nobody". Left Forearm: The word "Outlaw", underneath which is another "Crown" that you can see in the movie "Gang Related". Right Shoulder: The word "westside". Right Upperarm: Skull and crossbones. Under the word "heartless". Under the skull and crossbones written in small print it says "My only fear of death is coming back reincarnated". Right Forearm: Written in old english lettering, the word "Notorious". Back Arm: On the back of the arm it says "MOB". Tupac's Neck Right Side: In the movie "Gang Related" and "Gridlocked" you will see the name "Makaveli". Back Side: There is a Crown and then under that is the word "Playaz". Under "Playaz" are the words "Fuck the World". Tupac's Back A BIG cross is on his back with the word "Exodus 18:11, meaning, "Now i know that the lord is greater than all gods: for in the things wherein they dealt proudly he was above them" in the middle of the cross. On each side of the cross is a clown mask. The mask on his right is crying and under it, it says "cry later". The other mask on his left side is smiling and it says "Smile Now". Under the cross is a big word saying "Ballin". |

| #1 The general principle is great but she won't be trying to arm the youth with the 'right' weapons of mass instruction. Most likely she'll be teaching them how to get more stuff from the government and to push the button with the donkey by it early and often. |
