"the so-called, "Jena Six," a-half dozen black high schoolers regarded as unfairly prosecuted in the beating of a white student."

------------------------

I fully realize nooses hanging from a pickup truck is the point of this article but.........if you want to discuss "hate crimes"....6 blacks jumping on 1 white, to me, is a hate crime. Just keeping it REAL!!!

Dover Dover Dover,

You are confusing the issue and the intent of this story. It is designed to show just how the evil white man are still trying to hold down the poor blacks........


Shame on us for every passing the civil rights bill, which though introduced by a Democrat, would not have passed without the overwhelming support of the republican party.

Blacks should remember that the south was dominated by the Democrats during the years of racial intolerance.  Can we say Strom Thurmond?

@ Bartlettman - lol  I just couldn't help myself..as I explained, I just want to keep things REAL.  A lot of people are confused on this issue but, it's not me, you, nor many more. ;-)

Personally, I believe that the white students were wrong in not letting the black students sit under the stupid f*cking tree. It’s a tree! Come on...  BUT, for 6 people to single out one person and gang up on them is wrong. That boy was one more kick to the head away from being dead. I agree with them being changed with attempted murder. Do you actually believe that the way they handled not being allowed to sit under a tree was fair? 6 on one? 6 ON ONE!? That, in my opinion, is VERY cowardly. Every time I see this on the news, and how people act like they should be able to behave anyway they want without any form of punishment or repercussions for their actions when the race card is played is just ridiculous. You can't do whatever the f*ck you want, just because race is involved. You can't gang up on someone, 6 on 1, nearly kill him, and act like you shouldn't be prosecuted. And act like its such a travesty. Lock em all up! You know d*mn well if the race was flipped around and 6 white boys nearly beat 1 black boy to death, they would ALL still be in jail. Look at the Farrow case...   (In the sense that it was all blown out of proportion.)

I absolutely hate this story, btw.

I’m done.  : )

Thanks.

You are right Amanda, let them sit under the tree.  

I suspect that there is more to this story's origin than,  "Hey can I sit here?" " No'you are black!"  "Ok, sometime next year I will beat you up"

This is about bad kids, doing bad things.

Hang them all

Exactly.

I literally cring and want to pull my hair out when i see this story on the news.

All crimes committed by the white race crime is not a one sided coin you moronic idiots.

consider this

blacks commit more crimes than whites,,,,fact, can not be disputed.

One of the Jena 6 was a violent multiple offender.

you are as big a racist as anyone on this blog

Are you sure, or is ignorance calling your name?

Go pull someone else third leg.  Rational  dialog is not within you to be with out racist and stupid idealism.

Completely Childish.

@AmandaMommyof1 ... "You know d*mn well if the race was flipped around and 6 white boys nearly beat 1 black boy to death, they would ALL still be in jail. Look at the Farrow case..."

And, their parents would have beat their a@@es before they went to jail and wouldn't be on the television crying about injustice and suing everyone! THERE is the biggest difference between blacks and whites.    

Static

You strike me as an angry black man/woman. no one once in the blog said black are the only ones committing crime. In my post i said that the white kids were wrong in the whole tree part of it. Its a f*ucking tree! who said that only a certain group could sit under this coveted tree?? (i remember that from highschool. certain groups hang in certain areas. always puzzled me though.)  but, that is NOT worthy of nearly beating someone to death. they were cowardly in ganging up on ONE person.

CLM

If my child was involved in ANYTHING from this case, I would beat her a*s before sending thier happy little a*ses to jail to stand for the punishment they deserved. But, I raise my child (and future children) to not behave like wild animals.

Yep I am sure. My facts are correct, as are yours, whites do commit heinous crimes, but black commit many more that whites

 I have never said I am not proud of my race, I am, and I know that offends you. I don't care.

Do I care about blacks feelings, their plight their history, all the bad things that they have endured....nope.

I love and care about ANYONE that cares about themselves and gets up off their *** and makes something of themselves. Two of the people I admire most, Bill Cosby and Clarence Thomas.

Learn form them, they are truly great people.

Way the comment about a 3rd leg?  Is that on your mind often?

Mommy'manda,

you are a young lady with wisdom, I salute you!

Guys, the media has messed this story up really bad...
No one said they couldn't sit under the tree.
Please read:
"At Jena High School, about 10% of students are black and more than 80% are white. Early reporting asserted that students of different races seldom sat together, although this has been disputed.[9] According to early reports, black students typically sat on bleachers near the auditorium, while white students sat under a large tree, referred to as the "white tree" or "prep tree," in the center of the school courtyard.[10] According to some teachers and administrators at the school, the tree in question wasn’t a "white tree," and students of all races had sat under it at one time or another.[9]

A school assembly was held on August 31, 2006. According to media reports, a black male freshman asked the principal whether he could sit under the tree.[11] According to Donald Washington—U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana[12]—the principal stated that the question was posed in a "jocular fashion."[13] The principal told the students they could "sit wherever they wanted."[11]

The following morning, nooses were discovered hanging from the tree. Reports differ as to whether there were three[10] or two.[9] According to Craig Franklin, assistant editor of The Jena Times, it was revealed that the nooses were actually a prank by three students aimed at white members of the school rodeo team in school proceedings.[1] As of December 5, 2007, those who hung the nooses have never publicly stated the reasons behind their actions. A black teacher described seeing both white and black students "playing with [the nooses], pulling on them, jump-swinging from them, and putting their heads through them" that same day.[9] The Jena Times reported that the nooses were removed by 7:55 a.m. after school officials were informed.[14]"

This is from Wikipedia. I understand this isn't always a credible site, but most of the article is cited. People, read up on things before you just take it a face value.

I like the line about "inept white beings," myself.

Sums it all up quite nicely, doesn't it?

Seems cedible to me....I love it

Remember the fight was several months after the nooses...WTF

This has gotten to the point of insane.I guess westerns on tv will become a thing of the past also because of potential "liability or offensive" intentions.I'm offended by that idiot Judge Hill in that case across the river but you dont see him getting prosecuted for his blatant racism and stupidity.Soon some lawyer like Bailey may sue the rope company for manufacture of "hate crime" material...cant stop the music ringing in my ears from all this noise in the background clouding the skys from AMERICA the beautiful/Love it or Leave It and live for today!

amanda, what happened to your myspace page?

britney0487

And who ever put the nooses there are wrong. BUT that does NOT validate nearly beating a boy to death. Single one out from the pack and attack. Like something I see one those National Geographic shows where animals stalk their prey. (Hence my reference of not raising my child/children to behave like a wild animal.)

what about my myspace page?

Amanda -
I agree. Not to mention, he's not even involved with the nooses. He wasn't even one who hung them.. Supposedly, they jumped him because he used a racial slur.. But the eye-witness accounts differ... Here's a link to some handwritten and typed eyewitness accounts..
http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/archives/003979.html

I just wish the media wouldn't screw everything up all the time.

Amanda-

I agree. The nooses were wrong, BUT so was 6:1. Seems kind of cowardly to me. No, let me change that. It WAS cowardly.

Personally I would have six nooses on a truck and do away with the entire jena 6 and also deauntae farrowa mother on one also

it says it is not active...could I be confused?

britney0487

That’s the funny thing about the media. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It’s all sensationalism. They tell you bits and pieces. It’s downright insane. I watch the news ALOT. To the point where its probably unhealthy, but I take it with a grain of salt. Like hear-say. I only believe so much of it all.

bartlettman

its active. i don't know why its telling you that. i just updated some things on there about 30 minutes ago. Its might just be a server error...   Has it worked for you before?  btw, is that a fake you in the above post?

of course it is...I don't play those games

well ***. i don't know why its acting like that. you can just search Amanda Haney.

I don't understand Static's obsessive need to post information about white people who commit crimes.  Crime is crime...color is irrelevant.  However, if it makes him feel better to remind us bloggers that white people also commit crimes, then so be it.  However, Bartlettman is correct in that statistics (numbers for Static) do not lie.  The majority of violent crime committed in the Unites States is committed by black men.  Black on Black crime is especially prevalent.  

mnshadow53

thats right. there are other posts on this blog that are about whites, but, i guess he over looks those.

@ Amanda....Static is an angry, and quite obviously bitter, person.  The only person who can help him is him....and maybe a good psychiatrist!  I will just drive off into the sunset in my powder blue Prius!  LOL  

Towards Starbucks, right?

powder blue prius??? your kidding right?

"Welcome to Walamrt! Get your sh*t and get out!!"

I love walter...

LOL Amanda!  I really don't have a Prius!  I love Walter and Peanut too!  

on a stick!~

I found this on cnn....I made me laugh:

Bikinis, butt glue, tiaras rule at pageants

Butt glue?

@bartlettman, i do agree with you saying democrats was actuallly more racist than the republicans was in the early 1900's in the south, you do know your history, it is coming to a point that no man should take sides,

What if we did this-

What if we all sat down and said, "okay, I admit it. I don't like you. Here's why."

Then maybe we could say, "okay, well, how can we change that? What can we each do to make it easier for us all to get along?"

Catgirl....I like your ideas.  I have found, in my long life on this old earth, that most of the time the "I don't like you" was really more because of the "I don't understand you" deal.  

Most of the time, yep. ;)

"Protest co-organizer Al Sharpton says he hopes the federal indictment means the Justice Department now takes "hangman's nooses and hate crimes more seriously."
______________________________________________________
I am sure Al boy considers this far more serious than the Channon Christian Knoxville incident.

I am seriously sick of blacks thinking they can beat, rob and burn at will if offended and whites get charged for having a rope on their truck. Well blacks are the so self centered they don't see the backlash coming. "Hate" crimes are committed far more frequently by blacks even though they are only 1/8 of the population.

Funny . . .. I haven't heard Al or any of his terroristic bunch calling for hate crime charges against the six wild apes who stomped a white kid? I wonder why? Whites who grew up being told they were evil oppressors (like I was taught) are beginning to see the blatant truth now. Blacks are pack animals who commit hate crimes at far higher rates than any other race. Most whites are too stupid to realize what the real black sentiment toward whites is, but as more are beaten, raped and killed in disproportionate numbers they will eventually see the emperor has no clothes no matter what Tom Brokaw tells them.

The major sickness in the black community is that this ROPE is a major issue to them while subhuman teens terrorize and rape and kill their old, females, and young at rates whites couldn't accept. They sit around like it is inevitable that some seventeen y/o is going to break into their grandmommy's house, rob her and rape her (I mean why not) and it is part of life. It is truly sick.

_________________________

The Jena 6 I understand and support - they will probably go on to the same successful lives the "victims" of Bernard Geotz did;_)

As far as Deantee's Mother -  I would sue to unless I could see an actual video of my child doing something idiotic.  Suing is the only way she will get to sit across from the cop and look into his eyes while he tells the story.  She deserves that.

Now you could add a seventh noose for her for her STUPID choice of a completely incompetent attorney.  It would put her out of her misery quickly instead of the prolonged pain Bailey's incompetence will cause her.  you know Bailey should have learned to properly file a lawsuit by now.  Did he ever get it properly filed?

CLM, AmandaMommyof1, and Bartlettman

There is not one blog posted on a subject here about race relations that do not drip with the poison of racist comments all of which are focused at blacks.  Yet for you to say you are not racist would be nothing short of a lie.

So instead of having a rational conversation, 99% of you resort to cat calls, child play, blind remarks that a drunkard could follow.  Then feigning ignorance when this is pointed out.


Race relations will never get better in any city when you continue these insipid acts around your prodigies because the only repeat what they see and this what you have learned.

Just like the Muslim's blame the Israels for there hardship in the Middle East.  The Whites of America blame the Blacks,

When actually both need to look within............  

Static

Quote me. What did i say that "dripped with the poison of racist comments"? Quote me where I have been racist...  Come on...

What I like is that Static immediately jumps into this article with his listing of white committed crimes, when no one to that point said anything indicating they believed whites don't committ crimes.  You see, Static, the reason that no one had been metioning any white committed violent crimes was that in this news story the only ones who had committed any violent acts were......the Jena 6 "victims."  Maybe reading the posts before jumping in and accusing everyone of being racist would prevent the interesting discussions where things get accomplished from being muddied down into senseless name-calling as I have seen so many times before.  

As far as this story goes, my thoughts are that this whole incident in Jena was blown way out of proportion.  Yes, I believe that the young man who put nooses on the back of his truck was wrong in doing so (if the intent was there and this isn't another theater noose misunderstandings gone wrong like GPAC).  I also believe that all of the Jena 6 should be in jail for attempted murder (beating someone to the brink of death definitely fits attempted murder), and that the entire student body at that school should be forced into a monthlong marathon of lectures where they listen to the most monotone person imaginable talk about the history of racism while sitting in a white next to a black next to a white pattern and see if they don't just make some friendships out of their shared misery.

BartlettMags

It is your misfortune if you read some of the things that happen in that small area prio to that incidents in Jenna they had 4 teen whites beat and stomped a black teen at a car wash impairing his vision.

There punishment 2 days in jail no attempted murder charge.   Where is the justice in that.   The problem is as always  White America see only what they chose to see settling for what suits their needs.  The black teen vision unresolved.

These problems are created by whites as many play race games such as this from the blog on WREG.com  

Bartlettman   January 23, 2008 at 2:07 pm

how can I make this Racial???

So the next time a white person is attacked  for something provoked.  Just look to your fellow neighbor call out your racial slurs of ignorance and consider did your loved one deserved it or could this kinda stuff could have been clearly avoided.

Remember misery loves company.

or by the way people on this blog stared by saying blacks commit all the crimes, or they are the source of their problems.

Static

You still failed to quote the racist comments. Why haven't you quoted yet? Because no one has said anything that is "racist".

   
AmandaMommyof1

I have made it very clear to constantly play with adolescence such as yourself only make a dull knife duller and sharp spike driven to the point.

Just remember this warning of your childish games you play "throw the rock, then hide your hands.

So the next time a white person is attacked  for something provoked.  Just look to your fellow neighbor call out your racial slurs of ignorance and consider did you or your loved one deserved it or could  have been clearly avoided.

Remember misery loves company.

Static, people like you scare me....and disgust me too.  You beat your heart and decry life is unfair, point out crimes by everyone who is not just like you and then call everyone else a racist.  Me thinks thou dost protest too much.  I believe YOU are the true racist here.  Also, you yell the loudest when the facts are presented.  There are none so blind as those who will not see!  

Face facts and DEAL with them!

Dr. William Henry " Bill " Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.  I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English

except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor

with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was  2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he w as 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ? Or who is his father ?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?


What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job. Someone worki ng at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

We cannot blame the white people any longer."


"You cannot help those who refuse to help themselves".                

DOVER!

I officially loveth you! Thank you for posting that.

And mind you Static, that came from a black man. And you know what, you probably won't even read it...

Amanda -  The first sentence was mine to get Static's attention. I'm never amazed at how facts and truths are ignored over an over.  My guess is...Static will read what Bill Cosby said but,  never admit that he/she read it. (unless he/she wants to say Bill Cosby is an idiot, racist and childish also.)

@Static .... seriously, it must be exhausting being you or any other black person. No, I'm not a racist. I'm a realist.

There is a great big beautiful world out there - way beyond MEMPHIS - and so many things to enjoy. I don't understand why blacks can't just live and let live. You can't go to a restuarant without watching out for whitey who waits on you 2 seconds after the white customers. You can't go somewhere without seeing a freakin' rope and thinking that someone personally has it in for you. Get over it. The average white person is too busy workin' and livin' life to even have the time to think of the crap you all accuse us of.

The ONLY comment I have made here was to Amanda saying that if the roles were reversed the parents would have beat this kids a$$ and they wouldn't be on TV. That, my friend, is calling a spade a spade. WHEN was the last time you saw a white parent on TV bitching because they were discriminated against? And YES, whites are subject to discrimination! That's life!

CLM, AmandaMommyof1, Bartlettman, and Dover:

I agree with all of you.

. . . Though I wonder why they consider the 6 as unfairly prosecuted, after all - if it had been 6 white kids, they'd have been demanding that the kids spend years in jail - if they didn't go so far as to demand that the kids be tried as adults and go for the death sentence. The "Jena 6" got lucky that the white kid didn't file charges against them.

LauraAdama - You're right. Had it been 6 whites that jumped 1 black, it would have been a 'hate crime'...no question. Certainly they would have MARCHED for jail time if not more. That's what intelligent people call....twisted logic (or the race card).  

Static,
 As i've said on another blog you are a racist of a different type.You are a covert racist.You want to pretend you are as mainstream as anyone on here,but for some reason you just can't help yourself.You start off good then you fall off the deep end.As I've said you are a very dark and distorted individual,but clearly see right through it.So does anyone with a half lick of sense.

Static is being awfully quiet, don't you think?

Maybe someone made a point that he can't argue!

Static speaks of peace and quiet,morals and creditbility,
all of which he has none,he stays off topic for he has an agenda,an agenda that is far more dark and destructive than any civil person could ever imagine.

its sad that people of today are so racist. its disgusting. that white kid deserved to get jumped...you hang nuece whatdo yiou expect?? that offends people. people are always gonna try to push the hate crime not matter what. racists disgust me. wether you're black white orange blue fat skinny ugly pretty deformed perfect *** straight...its wrong. stay out of people's business. this world is so stupid now because people wanna be nosey and pathetic.
