All the efforts of Jena 6

[BB6dohcvtec]

Actually, that was an excellently worded and elegant post. It makes alot of sense. I will counter as such.

If the powers that be (Jesse and Al, the media and any other person with influence) didn't immediately hop on the Race Train, this wouldn't have blown up into the fiasco that it did. When it was found out that 6 black kids beat up a white kid for hanging a noose in a tree, the whole world stopped to watch. When they did, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stood front and center and used their charisma and influence to organize a protest, a march and a fund to help those poor unfortunate black youths in their time of crisis.

You may not say that they represent the concerns and are not the face of the Black population but when the entire world is watching (like it was during this whole thing) Yes, they are the face of your race. Because nobody else stood up. Everyone else was content to let them run their mouthes and organize what ever they wanted too without a free slate. So of course, in true Jackson/Sharpton style, they made it as big as they could to bring as much attention as they could to the problem. I think we all can agree on that.

Now after the truth has come out and the hoopla has died down, one of the defendants decides to takes pictures of his lifestyle. Because that what those photos are for. They are to show other kids (myspace) that he is living it up, living the high life, he got his. And to make it even worse, he's doing it with the "Free the Jena 6" shirts on.

You are correct about the Larger house, better car and who is in the elite country club. The difference in this situation is that he did it with other peoples money. Not only other peoples money but money that was sent to him because he was black and in trouble. People didn't send that money to help him out for any other reason than that. He was black and he was in trouble so the powers that be spun a tale about how he was poor and black, was persecuted in a racist small town in the deep south and the supporters, tv crews and money starts pouring in. Then he spits in everyones face that helped him and throws his "Lifestyle" up for all to see.

As for a couple old men from a time when these things did happen, you are absolutely right. They are from a time when these things did happen. They don't happen near as much anymore. They are like old soldiers fighting the war they never won. They just keep trying to fight, over and over. They won't let it go and in the end they do more damage than good because the majority of people are trying to let racism go. But these 2 won't let it die. Thats the problem with them.

Only question i have is how do ya'll know that its the same money he got from supporters?? is it illegal for him to actually have a job and save his money?

so....given the bodaciousness of the photo, how much of that money do you think he actually saved? if you've been to clubs in atlanta, it's common knowledge that the folks that normally flash like he was, have misty drink glasses(i.e. filmy glass with a drop of alky in it.). most folks with money dont flash, they just have.

Good question and good point. But at this time, it doesn't matter if it was the same money or not. See, the media crucifies without regard to race, religion, sex or national origin. What worked in their favor before, worked against them now.

Think of it like this. You have a hot wife, she's a smoking hot piece of women stuffs. You and her are having a bad time and thinking of splitting up. You friend is right there for you, helping you out, squashing your fears and just being that cool guy in your corner. Soon as you split up, he's magically helping and consoling her, telling you that he's still trying to help you....then they are screwing and dating. That guy is the media. They'll rub your fanny one minute and stab it with a 12 inch pink jelly the next.

So in the end, it doesn't matter whoese money it was. He is guilty because of who he is and what he represents.
