The Jena 6 story is a joke. It was no big deal until the race pimps decided they didn't have enough news time and needed to ***** about something.

If it was 6 white guys beating the hell out of a black guy for raising a "Black Power" symbol then they'd be in more trouble than the Jena 6 because they'd get an additional "Hate Crime".

Now I love to shoot pool and I feel safe if I walk into a black, white, asian, mexican, etc pool hall. Other than people looking at me and thinking "Damn there is a white person here". I don't think any race pays more attention to the fact I'm a white guy in a black pool hall.

I'm not saying that all racial tension is gone. Nor do I think we'll ever get to the day that we sit together and hold our interacial hands and sing kumbaya with a bunch of dirty smelly hippies. But I think we tolerate each other well or better than what the south is believed to be.

Personally I think every yankee reads "To Kill a Mockingbird" and thinks the south is still like that.
