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.

What do you mean "removed", they uprooted a tree for this? That's kinda idiotic, what did the tree ever do...


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.

exactly, and both were punished as such. the white kid was given their district's in house suspension for a month or something, which supposedly is the worst thing they can do to him other than complete expulsion.

the black kids were wrong for beating the hell out of the white kid, and are also being punished.

I think no one really refutes the point that every is in the wrong, I think people are just angry at the way it's handled and the charges being given.

Two teenagers in a town an hour away from Jena were arrested for having a noose hanging from their pickup truck.
They told the police that their family is in the KKK

but they already handled that through the justice system properly the trial as adults was dropped as unconstitutional and they're being re-tried as juveniles. the system worked properly in this case. i don't see what the rally is about other than to give jesse jackson & al sharpton somethin to do.

The National Bar Association (Black Lawyers association, really) is moving to get every charge removed from the boys so they can go on with their life.

Way to go black lawyers. Let people go for doing wrongs.
