a hate crime is a hate crime

Give me the names of the "white boys" who beat up the Black boy. And when did this all happen? I must have missed some news flashes on this.

And I think I have more of a handle on "equal justice" than you do.

Read the article...

Commentary: 'Jena 6' rally was about equal justice, not race - CNN.com

Want more details? Read the date on the article, it's not September. Yeah, there's a problem in Jena, more than the media is feeding folks now...

Injustice in Jena, Black Nooses Hanging from the “White” Tree « SF Gray Panthers

Quote:

On Friday night, December 1, a black student who showed up at a white party was beaten by whites. On Saturday, December 2, a young white man pulled out a shotgun in a confrontation with young black men at the Gotta Go convenience store outside Jena before the men wrestled it away from him. The black men who took the shotgun away were later arrested, no charges were filed against the white man.

On Monday, December 4, at Jena High, a white student–who allegedly had been making racial taunts, including calling African American students “niggers” while supporting the students who hung the nooses and who beat up the black student at the off-campus party–was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. The white victim was taken to the hospital treated and released. He attended a social function that evening.

So bad, the Feds even got involved with another incident...

Quote:

Jena is the site of the infamous Juvenile Correctional Center for Youth that was forced to close its doors in 2000, only two years after opening, due to widespread brutality and racism including the choking of juveniles by guards after the youth met with a lawyer. The U.S. Department of Justice sued the private prison amid complaints that guards paid inmates to fight each other and laughed when teens tried to commit suicide.

So, no folks, this isn't your flash in the pan race issue. This is about justice in a small town that isn't there.

How about more? You guys aren't even reporting the truth, they didn't "steal" any tree, they organized a silent protest AFTER the noose incident...

NPR : Beating Charges Split La. Town Along Racial Lines

Quote:

A few of the black athletes, the stars of the football team, took the lead in resisting. The day after the nooses were hung, they reportedly organized a silent protest under the tree.

The school called an assembly and summoned the police and the district attorney. Black students sat on one side, whites on the other. District Attorney Reed Walters warned the students he could be their friend or their worst enemy. He lifted his fountain pen and said, "With one stroke of my pen, I can make your life disappear."

Quote:

The next night, 16-year-old Robert Bailey and a few black friends tried to enter a party attended mostly by whites. When Bailey got inside, he was attacked and beaten. The next day, tensions escalated at a local convenience store. Bailey exchanged words with a white student who had been at the party. The white boy ran back to his truck and pulled out a pistol grip shotgun. Bailey ran after him and wrestled him for the gun.

After some scuffling, Bailey and his friends took the gun away and brought it home. Bailey was eventually charged with theft of a firearm, second-degree robbery and disturbing the peace. The white student who pulled the weapon was not charged at all.

No wonder you're confused, your sources are mostly crap. Why don't we go all the way back to kindergarten and see how many "incidents of a racial nature" we can dream up? You're a flaming racist, plain and simple, and wouldn't know the truth if it hit you in the face. The only truth you want to hear is what fits your agenda and you keep trying to spin your stories the way you want them to be not like they actually are.

No, sweetheart, your ignorance of the subject is what's lacking. You didn't even know when all of this occurred; nor the parties involved.

Don't get your news only from Fox News and KKK sites dear, or you'll be short of more than a few bricks!

Just like you would excuse the Israelis of killing anyone even their own.

It's about equal justice. Something you seem to not understand in your finger pointing.

Chris you are 100% right because Lady is justifying the noose,
and like you said the shit was pre-planned when the idea was
presented about the noose. The noose was the last straw
after them white boys double teamed the Brother that just to
show you how whites starts shit, and cry like little bitchs when
the odds turn against them.

I am pleased with the many Whites and Blacks who marched
together today, and there's no way the racist whites can
say whites wasn't involved in the protest. From the interviews
that I seen on Fox,CNN,Abc, there was whites who was against
the noose, and they felt like the noose was the last straw.

Chris, You are true when speaking about equal justice,
but its people like LadyM,OceanBreeze, and the forum's asshole
who believe in a onesided Justice system that's in favor for
whites. In closing, I am not saying that Blacks should jump on
or shoot all whites, but we do have the rights to defend ourselves,
and remember all down through history Blacks and Native Americans
was mistreated by whites. I do not see any of you talking about
how whites mistreated Blacks.

Nice post Chris " Right On "

I think it happened around the last of the year (2006) and I can actually tell you the names of the offenders. What I'm reading about the convenience store incident was that a "man" had an altercation with those boys---not another school boy. And you are telling me about an incident in a private home? People have the right to say who comes into their own homes, they don't have to let in a bunch of high schoolers just because they are black....get a life why doncha? I'm a minority and I have NEVER tried to push my way into anybody's house or into their life without an invitation. These black boys sound like a bunch of pushy little thugs to me and people like you want to reward their bad behavior because they are black. At least one of them already has a record but of course that will be played down by you, Al and Jesse.

Jena is one messed up town. How can a school board vote to even keep the town's OWN mayor out of a school board meeting????

Ghostdog, you pathetic fool, did you not read where I said I was not black or white? Get a clue. Where did I justify the noose? Quit spinning your stories, you keep spinning it to make those black kids seem like a bunch of little angels (and they damn sure are not) and you are trying to demonize the whites. You and Crispy call "equal justice" when the blacks commit a crime and get away with it because they are black. Nobody should get away with a crime because of their color, period. Whites marching in the parade, were those whites from Jena? Those people marching don't live in Jena, they come in; march, get on tv and tomorrow they are gone and the people in Jena (blacks and whites) are left to pick up the pieces.

And it sounds to me like the blacks are the ones "crying like little bitches" when they get their dicks caught in a wringer and begin crying for relief. The whites didn't bring this up, the blacks did. Just stick to the facts and quit making shit up.
