Jena 6

Jena 6

I was suprise to find out that Jena 6 was not the name of a space shuttle. because there was no media out there explaining what it was. After I did find out what it was, I was suprise again to find out that my three network News Channel still refuse to give any coverage on it. Even my favorite News channel who name I will not mention is mostly black. I mean the news crew are mostly black.

So what is Jena 6? Six black boys that went to a school name Jena in Louisiana are on Trail for attempt murder. One is being sentence for life.

This is how it all started.

1. White students sit under tree.

2. White students say this tree is for white only.

3. One black student get permission to sit under tree.

4. Black student sat under tree.

5. Next day there are three noose's hanging from tree.

6. Black students cut nooses down.

7. White students who hung nooses get suspended for three days.

8. Black students decide to all stand under the tree.

9. School offical call police because the blacks are under the White tree.

10. The DA Tell the Blacks students he can end their lives with just a stroke of his pen.

Now the whole school is on racial mode, a fight breaks out . One of the six black students kicks a white student in the head, which was said to have given him a concussion. But he was able to attend a school funtion (party) that night?

At the trail one of the white students who help hung the nooses from the tree, testified that he saw the black student kick the white student in the head.

The deadly weapon was the tennis shoe.

As was said by King, I mean Rodney King " Can we all just get along"

This is so friggin' absurd. In this day and time, the only reason for kids to hate other kids of a different race is because they were TAUGHT to. Next they'll be blaming it on Katrina. When are people going to wake up and stop being such stupid, racist asses?

Anyone who discriminate against anyone because they dont like the color of the other person, should not be allowed to be living amongst the rest of the Human race, and should be executed on the spot, without the formality of a Human initiated trial. There is two kinds of law in this world, God's law, and Human law. God's law does not allow for any form of discrimination against his created creatures, because of the color, size, shape, gender, knowledge, or language He has given to His individual creations, be it human beings, or animals.

I wouldn't go that far to say that... but sometime when we are mad with racial tension anything might pop out our month.  We must remember we are all Human Being... that what set us apart from the animals.

I can not believe that there are cities like Jena, that are still operating like Mississippi in 1945 in the year 2007. Evil just like wisdom grows in the minds of men. It time for Jena and all other cities of sort to come up, don't be left behind. It sickens me to see grow folk take the law and bend it out of shape because of the own "I ain't never gonna change attitudes". Somebody better tell Billy Fowler that we are not going to stay out! The Federal Judges should put that DA on trial.

The comment that I didn't show because of the language, seem to be saying they should all get the same treatment or verdict . Where talking about the three students that hung the nooses and all the students that were in the fight. They all had access to a deadly weapon......Their own tennis shoes.

    I have so many thoughts on this subject, i've been following it for months. Some of the most upsetting things are the fact that kids are still being taught to segregate in some parts of our country, to the point of nooses being hung on a tree being considered a prank? more like a threat of a hate crime. Adults should have stepped in much sooner and taken this behavior much more seriously. Before the nooses i'm sure there were words. It's sad that children today are still learning things we have been trying to do away with for over 40 years. The adults in their lives need examining.
