these six negroe boys were trying to get into their schools advanced placement biology class, right?
this is what this deal is all about, the schools ap courses are for white students only; and it is not about sitting under a whites only tree?
dey got the same last names as their fathers?
i saw a picture of a mother of one of the boys at the bbc link, but no daddy.
where dey daddies at?
did these boys have cell phones, did they take still or video pictures of the nooses hanging from the tree? via the internet, the pictures and or videos of the nooses hanging in the tree could have been sent around the world and posted around the world.
where dey daddies at?
daily, the black community could have walked their dogs to the tree and let the animals relieve themselves there. that would have taken care of anyone regularly sitting under that tree.
where dey daddies at?
the tree could have been ringed, that is, removing the bark from around the trunk of the tree. that would have killed the tree, which is unfair to the tree.
where dey daddies at?
the boys should have reported the white boy with the rifle to the police, it was not their place to disarm him; too much like robbery.
where dey daddies at?
bump that negroes, get your educations and get out of there.
where dey daddies at?
was the chemistry class whites only?
where dey daddies at?
are the ap math classes whites only?
where dey daddies at?
are the physics classes whites only?
where dey daddies at?
are the ap english classes whites only?
where dey daddies at?
surely, there is more adult negroe male representation in jena than a minister.
where dey daddies at?
again, where dey daddies at?
and finally, where dey daddies at?

Should the kid have said "some nooses were on a tree a few months ago, some black guys were charged with robbing some white kid across town a few months ago, some black guy was beaten by white guys when he crashed a party a few months ago. I guess that's the connection. My skin was white and they wanted to get some white guy."
Surely you are leaving something out. With your tale of misdeeds and racial animosity, surely there is omething between the kid and the six, isn't there?
You did call him a liar when he said he didn't know why they beat him.
Or are we supposed to approve his beating because some other white folks and some other black folks weren't getting along?
If you have any facts that relate the beaten kid to anything that happened, or if you have any facts that show the Jena 6 suffered ANY of the other abuse you described in great detail, please share it.
Otherwise your story is just a tale of six gangstas who no one had done anything to who beat the shit out of some white kid -- six-on-one -- just because of the color of his skin.
By the way, where I come from a "school fight" (as you called it) is where a black man and a white man go up against each other, may the best man win. Six on one, black OR white, is called a "brutal beating", not a "school fight".
Is that what you teach your children?
All I can say is thank God for Jack and Jill, which keeps my sweet black daughter a safe distance from six-on-one gangsta black trash and gang-banging Genarlows.
Was this fight on school grounds? If not school rules of discipline don't apply.
Was the beaten boy involved in the ractist?
The black boy beaten at the party, was he asked to leave?
Was the DA trying to scare these kids into dropping the beef? (sounds that way to me) and did he also talk to any white kids?
I also think the prospective sentences are too harsh, but I don't necessarily, without more proof, feel that it is intentional racism to bring down the black boy population of Jena. Can we leave our victim mentality behind and admit that these boys were wrong but fight for them reasonable charges and sentencing (no jail time, no felonies).
Bloody eejit. That goes for the rest of you ass-kissing, foot-shuffling J&Jers; talking about gang bangers and questioning if this punishment is anything BUT 100% wrong.
Free the Jena 6. Their crime is that they are Black.
Jan
The slogan is appropriate. If whites that commit the same acts can walk free then blacks students should too!! THAT IS CALLED EQUALITY.
If the community is upset about other crimes, loosely related or not, then charges need to be filed against the suspects in those other crimes, not dropped in this one.
These are young men who are children just like your children. They are BLACK. Do not forget; your children are BLACK. Yes! BLACK! No different than any other. Whether you consider them thugs or gangstas does not make them any less different in the eyes of racism than your well breed, well-read, well-financed child.
This is a case of justice. Martin Luther King like many of our other leaders came from what were prominent African American families of the time and they faced racism head on. Not choosing to take the side against what is just under the law of an American citizen. Justice, in this case, was swift but certainly not equal. If one should pay the price for fighting, a fight does not happen among one, but both should pay the equal price.
It saddens me to think that a group of mothers who are instrumental in leading our children into the next generation of African American intellectuals could look at black children and disregard them so quickly.
Some of those who have blogs here need a reality check. You are BLACK because you have one drop and that makes you whole.
In this case, the justice system is indeed exacting revenge, but far from an eye for an eye. it's more like "a face for an eye," trying to destroy the identity of the jena six so that this issue never comes up again; sweep it under the carpet, if you will, and maintain tradition.
By all means force the press to cover this story as unbiased as you can get american journalists to write, but don't let it go too far (ie televising the trial), otherwise the balance is shifted to some other place and equilibrium is lost once again, but this time in an entirely different place.
This is disgusting. IF I committed aggravated battery, here's how I would have done it. I don't think the dude deserves 15 years in prison but he does deserve some time behind bars for his crime--juvenile or not.
Disgusting. Racism is racism is racism.
the crimes here are making a big deal out of little things (hanging nooses/beating someone up for it). or making a little deal out of big things (in the case of the white people (judge/jury) ruling everything off as practically nothing)
DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY OF OUR KIDS (WHITE, BLACK OR ANY OTHER RACE) WOULD END UP BEHIND BARS.
There are very few adults that NEVER had a school fight.
I bet that DA and/or Judge had at least one fight in school.
I signed this petition, if you really want to help your country, and saves its lost souls than you will do the same http://www.petitiononline.com/aZ51CqmR/petition...
I am not saying that the Jena Six were right in their actions. I am not condoning any kind of violence on any human being but may I remind you of our constitution?
Amendment 6 - Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses. Ratified 12/15/1791.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial (Impartial adj. Not partial or biased; unprejudiced) jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed….
Comment: 85% of this town is of white population, clearly not impartial, who their attornies and why wasn't this case taken out of this court for the mere fact of obvious racial tension and indifference?
Amendment 8 - Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Comment: 22 years in prison is a bit excessive for ANY school fight where no SERIOUS injuries where incurred. The young, white student whom was "brutely attacked" attended a party the very same day he was released from the hospital.
Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. Note History
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Comment: "Black students were assaulted at white parties. A white man drew a loaded rifle on three black teens at a local convenience store. (They wrestled it from him and ran away.) Someone tried to burn down the school, and on December 4th, a fight broke out that led to six black students being charged with attempted murder. To his word, the D.A. pushed for maximum charges, which carry sentences of eighty years. Four of the six are being tried as adults (ages 17 & 18) and two are juveniles." (http://www.whileseated.org/photo/003244.shtml)
There were no charges against the white students who assaulted black students. After the 3 black teens wrestled the rifle from a white man they RAN AWAY AND CALLED THE POLICE – instead of arresting the white man with the RIFLE the 3 black teens were charged with assault and robbery!
"The boys who hung the nooses were suspended from school for a few days. The school administration chalked it up as a harmless prank, but Jena's black population didn't take it so lightly. Fights and unrest started breaking out at school. The District Attorney, Reed Walters, was called in to directly address black students at the school and told them all he could "end their life with a stroke of the pen." http://www.whileseated.org/photo/003244.shtml</... The District Attorney addressed and threatened only black students for fights and unrest that broke out at school. What?
What should happen now: I don't have anything against trees but this one should be torn down – simply for the hatred it represents and the people who follow it. The school should be put I under the microscope by our supreme court and fined for robbing American students of their civil rights. The District Attorney should be relieved of his duties for the same reason. All blacks need to come together and find other ways to beat injustices (in other words violence should never be an answer especially when our government fails us). The Jena Six should have their sentences reduced to a punishment that fits their crime, and charges should be filed against the white man with the rifle, and the white boys who assaulted blacks during this time period. And finally, we should all remember what our country stands for and never let anyone take those basic, civil rights away no matter where your from, your color of skin, your religion, and or sexual orientation:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
You "people" have sucked the USA's tit dry enough. Every one of you foul beasts need to go back to the shit hole you came from. Bad thing is Africa doesn't even want you. So shut the hell up and let's have us a good old fashioned whip party for these nignogs in Jena.
Blacks are quick to jump on any cause as a racial issue. Why don't they try working hard and being responsible instead?
How about addressing the fact that 7 out of every 10 black babies born in the U.S. is to a single mother? Are all black women whores? Are all black men deadbeats? I don't think so, but it's hard to argue with such harsh statistics.
Blacks shouted with joy when the murderer, OJ Simpson was acquitted. Even though many admitted they thought he was guilty. You didn't seem to care so much about justice then did you? You only care about justice when it fits into your racism excuse for everything that you don't like.
I honestly hope that things get better between the races. I don't use the "N" word like many blacks do themselves, but I'm going to reserve the right to use it for those whom it fits. And I think many of them are in Louisiana right about now.
The constant whining and complaining of misjustice and lack of equality is sickening. Black Americans get everything for nothing. I have to work hard for what I have.
Get the chips off of your shoulders and take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your family & neighborhood members.
The JENA Six is not the result of a one-way discrimination. The JENA Six are as innocent as OJ and Sean Bell.

STFU Black America. You have every opportunity handed to you on a silver platter. Get off the couch and take advantage of your free housing, free schooling and equal opportuninty to get the jobs you dont deserve.
stop complaining and arguing and do what you think needs to be done. If you want to see a white channel on the tv, that's great. push for it.
but did you ever think that maybe tv's not such a great idea in general...? changes start with the self, and if one were to stop watching tv, then tv would cease to exist temporarily as far as that person is concerned and he / she can focus on something bigger: art, revolution, and creation.
trinity, truth, and feeding the f***ing poor of the world. lying to create truth. curing aids.
getting us on mars before our planet is destroyed. getting us out of this solar system before our sun burns out.
consider these things as this case aint about black or white anymore... it's about black AND white

I am a white adoptive mom of a black son and it kills me to see how these young men have been unfairly treated.
My son is only three, but someday this could be him. Even though he is a sweet and wonderful, beautiful boy, it could happen to him.

Please remember, as you post your comments, that all of our children are now and will be affected by these events, including children whose mothers hold membership in Jack and Jill of America. Further divide in our communities is counter-productive.
As a member of Jack and Jill of America, and the granddaughter of one of the founders, I am saddened to read the hurtful comments here and realize that in the face of such dramatic events affecting our community, we can't help but continue to focus our energies on hating one another.
I do with this blog would change it's name. This isn't helping us, any of us.
The school should have stepped up and did something about the nooses, they are indeed weapons, they should have however done something before it got to that point.
Why does America wait for the worst thing to happen before we react?
We as Americans not separate races should work together to do preventive measures not after the math measures.
The Jena 6 are still boys and if the Courts trial them as adults then where is the justice? How can 6 black people be given a fair and just trial in a state which is unable to accept multicutralism?
If anyone is to be punished it should be Justin Barker, it was his racial slurs that provoked the attack. The words that many African American people face every day cause more hurt than any beating can ever inflict, physical wounds heal, the scars left from mental torment last forever.
The community of Jena needs to wake up and learn to accept that all people are equal, irrespective of gender, race, apperance or any other difference. We are all the children of God and as such we should all treat each other as equals.
May the Lord send all of the racisits to hell.
College tells you to be open minded & accepting of others. Just so you know, you dont have to accept drug dealers, car thiefs, murderers, terrorists or anybody else you dont want to.
Dont be forced into "white guilt" or feeling bad that you may have had opportunities that others may not have had. Even more important, dont feel bad for earning all that you may have some day.
I say this to you because I was in college and was open minded and accepting of others. Then I had my car stolen 4 times, house robbed 3 times, carjacked and my wife, father-in-law and grandmother gets mugged (seperate times).
You will graduate college and work hard for a good pay only to find that 1/3 of your pay goes to the liberaly forced government funding programs which school, house and feed everybody else but your family.
Then work your ass off to buy a house in a nice town with great schools only to find that your town is being forced to build the liberaly forced equal opportunity housing (Mount Laurel Act)which moves those criminals that you moved away from or illegal immigrants into your town.
Even better, their kids fill up the schools. Your town now needs to build larger schools and your taxes go up.
Crime goes up in your town and more police are needed. Taxes go up again.
Guess what? Taxes from your paycheck built the equal opportunity housing.
So you see, you will forever be paying for things that liberalism created.
911 attacks: Result of liberal Bill Clinton trying to reason with terrorists. By the way, I lost a close friend who worked the WTC.
College campus killings: result of liberal laws not allowing people to effectively detain dangerous people.
High Crime in inner cities: Liberal laws stripping away the rights of police officers (which also results in more and more police deaths each year). Also, lack of education.
Lack of education & single mothers: Liberal government funded and abused programs which allow the cycle to continue instead of making people responsible for their own actions. If the kids mother dropped out of school, doesnt work and still gets money then why would the child not follow the same path? Why work if you're getting free money?
I can go on forever...
Bottom line, take the best from what you learn in your books but dont allow your professors to tell you how to think. Most likely, most of your professors were drug abusing, pot-smoking wacko protesters from the 60's who now live in their academic protected bubbles and think they know everything about life.
I hope your professor sees this and reads this to your class.
PS: Your professor gets paid from my taxes. It just never ends!!!!!
Just continue spreading distortions and exaggerations.
Claim the white boy's parents *should* know why he was beaten, even though none of the witnesses has *ever* said that his beating had anything to do with the nooses - given that *he* did not have *anything* to do with the nooses, nor did he have any fights with Blacks prior to being beaten.
According to the federal Attorney "Washington" - not *one* of the witness reports said the incident had *anything* to do with the noose incident.
Why do you insist on exaggerating and distorting the connection in an attempt to justify the Black students' criminal behavior?
Don't provide *anything* containing any evidence whatsoever that Justin Barker deserved to be beaten and kicked into a concussion and loss of consciousness....just assume that because he is white and you just know in your heart that *all* whites are racist that he deserved to be almost killed (a concussion is an injury to the brain - a half-inch more and he could have been killed or paralyzed for life).
Continue to pretend like he deserved this somehow, and that it was a "fight" instead of a cowardly assault.
Continue to ignore Mychal Bell's *four* previous convictions for violent crimes, including two assaults on people - one of whom was a woman.
Continue to ignore that he was on probation, and should have been keeping the peace rather than assaulting even more people.
You criticize CNN, yet swallow whole the distortions by this "Jacquie Soohen" who cannot even get the dates and the facts straight.
Bailey was not beaten at an "all-white" party in October - it was at the end of November, and the shotgun incident with the white student running back to his truck to get a gun to defend himself occurred the very next day - not "later that month."
I suppose you would not run to get a shotgun if three white racists were attempting to assault you?
It is an absolute lie to state that no white person was ever charged for any incidents: an adult white male was charged and convicted for assaulting Bailey (who - by the way - never said a damn word about beer bottles in his statement to the police).
White people have *no* excuse for their racism and racist behavior, nor for the thousands of terrorist acts they have perpetrated against Blacks.
And Blacks need to stop using racism as their crutch and excuse for their own destructive and immoral behavior.
If it were six whites who beat a Black unconscious most of you who posted here would be screaming for lengthy prison terms for the whites.
Instead, you are demanding that the Jena6 all be *freed* with the charges dropped.
Your hypocrisy sickens me.
Was the beating of Justin Barker not a "hate crime"?
You do not think he was beaten because of the color of his skin?
No? then please provide some credible documentation that he did *anything* that deserved being beaten and kicked in the head.
Records show he had a concussion and had been bleeding from the ears.
How many school athletes have had a concussion in a football game and been at a dance later that night? Lots.
Stop trivializing what happened to him.
If it was a Black student beaten by whites, and he attended his Ring Ceremony that night - because he refused to be intimidated - you would be applauding him for going despite having been assaulted - you would not be trivializing his injuries just because he was not paralyzed or hospitalized further.
I guess I should stop expecting Black people to show any less prejudice and bias than whites - despite how they have suffered from it for centuries.
But you could at least make a half-hearted attempt to get the facts straight and stop presenting things from such a ridiculously one-sided perspective.
(And - uh - why are none of you mentioning the fact that Mychal Bell was offered a "Plea Bargain" where he would have gotten probation - but he refused to take it? Why are you ignoring that little fact, and trying to pretend that the DA is only interested in ruining these students' lives? He would not have offered the plea bargain if he was solely interested in putting young Blacks in prison. Wake up!)
6 guys beat up 1 guy. now in my book thats pretty low and cowardly and if your gonna beat someone up as part of a group there are consequences ie prison.
if it was lets say Mychal Bell, who was beaten by 6 people, would he's mother be calling for less of a sentence....hell no.
the only reason these parents are causing so much DRAMA is because they are stupid, ignorant, racist fools who have got a crazy notion that all black people are still persecuted regularly.....maybe...just maybe if people like that stopped acting like they're owed something and get rid of the huge racial chip on they're shoulder's then we may be able to live together properly.
i dont consider myself racist in anyway but do have to agree with previous posts that african americans are the most racist people out there and until they can stop playing the "poor me, im black and everyone hates me and wants to get me" card then the world will continue to be this way.
im neither black nor white and can 100% say that i have met way more black racists than white.
BLACK PEOPLE
get over this stupid, outdated, ridiculous notion that your hated cos your black.....if anything, some of you are disliked cos of your constant negative attitude towards things like race and oppression (which none of you alive have really seen)
so stop bitching about an open/shut case of attempted murder (1 on 1= fight, 6 on 1= attempted murder)
and do something to stop racism and stupid race crimes like this from happening.
whinging and moaning (ooohh my sons an angel and doesn't deserve this even though he was bad ass enough to take a live gun from someone and nearly murder an innocent boy) just makes you look dumb and very ignorant.
sort it out stupid fools
