I'd say the nooses are a death threat, wouldn't you?
maybe, but the student had the choice to not fight whoever put them there.

I haven't heard that anywhere. Maybe it was somewhere in the KKK Gazette?

I don't think Cynic is really racist, he just feels a need to stand up for freedom of speech and comes off that way.
Did you not know that one of these kids were attacked by whites at a party?
I laugh at those who claim I am racist. Hell, let them think what they want.
What it comes down to is not sugarcoating the truth.
Alright, so let's get the truth out of you.
What do you think about blacks?
What do you think about latinos, specifically MEXICANS?
What do you think about asians?
What do you think about WHITES?
What do you think about NATIVE AMERICANS?
yeh, because he went there and started talking trash about one of the kids' gf.
He also called them "crackers".
I love everyone ,now gimme a hug.
No, what do you REALLY think about these racial/ethnic groups? I want to know just so we can establish your true feelings on racial matters.
I realize that everyone has flaws. Some work hard, some dont. Some struggle for respect, others want the easy way and sell drugs to make money.
I have met hardworking blacks and lazy as hell whites.
if there is a death threat, yes.
This story infuriates me to no limits. This six black teens are made out to be heros, yet the kick the living shit out of 1 person. From what I understand they didn't stop even when he was knocked out. They kept beating him. It would be an insult to the victim if they didn't push for attempted murder charges.
Now the Blacks want to even try to make a connection between a noose hung from a tree and horrendous assault. AMAZING.
Here is a fact. Reverse racism is becoming much more of a problem than the good old fashion racism.
Note: It is also an insult to have Mos Def at anything promoting intellect. Any American that is as ignorant as he is and hates his country as much as he does, does not deserve to remain here and make a fortune off of it. Hey Mos Def, true Islam is not going to let you sing.
I'm with you "G", a whole bunch of BS about a group of blacks getting their panties in a wad.
Those directly involved should be charge, tried, and after being CONVICTED, sentenced.
Politically correct has gone ballistic.........
COMMENTARY
Lessons from Jena, La.
By JASON WHITLOCK
Now we love Mychal Bell, the star of the 2006 Jena (La.) High School football team, the teenage boy who has sat in jail since December for his role in a six-on-one beatdown of a fellow student.
Thursday, thousands of us, proud African-Americans, expressed our devotion to and desire to see justice for the Jena Six, the half-dozen black students who knocked unconscious, kicked and stomped a white classmate.
...Al Sharpton claimed Thursdays peaceful demonstrations were to highlight racial inequities in the criminal justice system.
Jesse and Al, as theyre prone to do, served a kernel of truth stacked on a mountain of lies.
There are undeniable racial and economic inequities in our criminal justice system, and from afar the Jena Six rallies certainly looked and felt like the righteous protests of the 1960s.
But the reality is Thursdays protests are just another sign that we remain deeply locked in denial about the path we need to travel today for true American liberation, equality and power in the new millennium.
The fact that we waited to love Mychal Bell until after hed thrown away a Division I football scholarship and nine months of his life is just as heinous as the grossly excessive attempted-murder charges that originally landed him in jail.
Reed Walters, the Jena district attorney, is being accused of racism because he didnt show Bell compassion when the teenager was brought before the court for the third time on assault charges in a two-year span.
Where was our compassion long before Bell got into this kind of trouble?
Thats the question that needed to be asked in Jena and across the country on Thursday. But it wasnt asked because everyone has been lied to about what really transpired in the small southern town.
There was no schoolyard fight as a result of nooses being hung on a whites-only tree.
Justin Barker, the white victim, was cold-cocked from behind, knocked unconscious and stomped by six black athletes. Barker, luckily, sustained no life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital three hours after the attack.
A black U.S. attorney, Don Washington, investigated the Jena Six case and concluded that the attack on Barker had absolutely nothing to do with the noose-hanging incident three months before. The nooses and two off-campus incidents were tied to Barkers assault by people wanting to gain sympathy for the Jena Six in reaction to Walters extreme charges of attempted murder.
Much has been written about Bells trial, the six-person all-white jury that convicted him of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery and the clueless public defender who called no witnesses and offered no defense. It is rarely mentioned that no black people responded to the jury summonses and that Bells public defender was black.
Its almost never mentioned that Bells absentee father returned from Dallas and re-entered his sons life only after Bell faced attempted-murder charges. At a bond hearing in August, Bells father and a parade of local ministers promised a judge that they would supervise Bell if he was released from prison.
Where were the promises and supervision before any of this?
Its rarely mentioned that Bell was already on probation for assault when he was accused of participating in Barkers attack. And its never mentioned that white people in the racist town of Jena provided Bell support and protected his football career long before Jesse, Al, Bells father and all the others took a sincere interest in Mychal Bell.
You wont hear about any of that because it doesnt fit the picture we want to paint of Jena, this case, America and ourselves.
...Mychal Bell needed us long before he was cuffed and jailed. Here is another undeniable, statistical fact: The best way for a black (or white) father to ensure that his son doesnt fall victim to a racist prosecutor is by participating in his sons life on a daily basis.
That fact needed to be shared Thursday in Jena. The constant preaching of that message would short-circuit more potential Jena Six cases than attributing random acts of six-on-one violence to three-month-old nooses.
And I am in no way excusing the nooses. The responsible kids shouldve been expelled...
The Jena school board foolishly overruled its principal and suspended the kids for three days.
But the kids responsible for Barkers beating deserve to be punished. The prosecutor needed to be challenged on his excessive charges. And we as black folks need to question ourselves about why too many of us can only get energized to help our young people once theyre in harms way.
Ive been the spokesman for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City for six years. Getting black men to volunteer to mentor for just two hours a week to the more than 100 black boys on a waiting list is a yearly crisis. Its a nationwide crisis for the organization. In Kansas City, were lucky if we get 20 black Big Brothers a year.
You dont want to see any more Jena Six cases? Love Mychal Bell before he violently breaks the law.
complete commentary...
As I have stated previously, it is within the power of the US military to reduce all structures to rubble and human life to oozing blobs. I have been witness to some of that. It ain't pretty and if you grow to become to fond of it, it will destroy you.
An idea just occurred to me. I believe that before any President takes office or any senator or congressman takes his seat, he or she needs to view a human cadaver that has suffered mass trauma.
Perhaps that is just another of my nutty liberal schooling ideas.
I Am
Emotional nonsense. Not liberal nuttiness.
What did you witness and when did you witness it?
most people who attack others intend to damage the person they targeted.
(ie. kill)
Either way, I hope they keep the turds in jail.
I'd have taken it as such. And I would've whooped their white asses for it as well if they came taunting me.
I take it you feel the same way about the white guy who pulled a gun on some black kids?
Or does your brand of justice only apply to black perps?
