Any thoughts about this?
All I know is what I read on Wikipedia. Some black kids beat up a white kid in a segregated town. Black kids either did or didn't get a fair trial, depending on whether you ask white people or the NAACP. Now black people are protesting en masse, and due to the protest two schools are gonna be shut down because they expect a riot. I generally hate the NAACP and Jesse Jackson. I hate mass protests by groups of dipshits who blindly protest (not calling black people dipshits, but every black person I've talked to is protesting due to the mere fact that the "victims" are black). But I also hate racist rednecks and unfair trials. --------------------   |

Considering Jena is a hell-hole stuck in the 1960's, I feel sympathy for these kids.
Segregation is still rampant in Jena and just recently they removed the "white tree" from the local high school. It was a place where the white kids would sit on hot days. These kids are being charged with attempted murder and trumped up charges. It's stupid. The kid was out of the hospital on the same day and was fine. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

That's kinda idiotic, what did the tree ever do... -------------------- I go to the maize and blue

When the black kids tried to sit at the white tree, the white kids responded by hanging nooses from the tree like the next day or something.... The way I see it, everyone was in the wrong... And from listening to the interviews of the townspeople, they have taken a blind-eye to the racism...they see their town as a perfect little community. QUOTE (Dogmeat @ Sep 21 2007, 07:31 AM) I'm so sick of race being an issue it's just maddening. Any fucking time a god damned black person does something fucked up and it's all over the news, no matter what the cause, effect, whatever, it gets totally blown out of proportion. Then you get an assfuck like Jesse Jackson making it even worse. Fucking seriously, just stop making race an issue. Period. And thats what Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and all of those guys do best....make race an issue. |
