[JennB]

I do not agree with you nor am I going to sit here and argue about it.


Oh... and it wasn't a comparison, it was just a silly example to make a point.

In September 2006, a group of African American high school students in Jena, Louisiana, asked the school for permission to sit beneath a "whites only" shade tree. There was an unwritten rule that blacks couldn't sit beneath the tree. The school said they didn't care where students sat. the school CANNOT say that the black kids couldnt sit under the. tree they just saved their own ass. The next day, students arrived at school to see three nooses (in school colors) hanging from the tree. (Please note, the tree above is not the tree, but a tree at Jena High School.)

The boys who hung the nooses were suspended from school for a few days.sounds like a suitable punishment to me. after all hanging ropes from trees isnt illegal and im sure that theres no school rule relating to it..... 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."he probably should have addressed everyone.... but i guarantee you that it wasnt the white kids that kept this argument going...

Black students were assaulted at white parties.i dont know about yall but ive never seen a "whites Only" sign hanging from the door at a party.... 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 schooland this someone is? i can take a guess..... , 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.

Yesterday, I was in Jena for the first day of the trial for Mychal Bell, one of the Jena 6. The D.A., perhaps in response to public pressure, tried to get Bell to cop a plea. Bell refused, and today, jury selection began. After today, we'll know whether or not the case will be tried in front of an all-white jury. Jena's 85-percent white, and it remains to be seen whether or not the six can get a fair trial.



yeah it was racially motivated, but it should not have been taken this far.
