The Reverends Al and Jesse….are where they should be…
They have found a cause with genuine substance.
The Jena Six..from what I gather…are [6] black teen from Louisiana…who dared to sit under a [tree] ostensibly put there by God for whites only.
The day after thier ’sit under’ .. they came back to find three hangmens’ nooses..dangling from the tree.
This was a vile message dating back to the lynching of blacks in the South.
The white kids responsible…got a slap on the wrist [a few days suspenision].
The black teens assaulted one of the white kids…and he was hospitalized.and released the same day…..suffice to say…all of the black teens were arrested and one is still in jail…I do not condone violence…on either end.
Rightfully so…10,000 demonstrators converged on Jena protesting the racial impartiality of the judicial system in Jena…
This is sad…we thought we had seen the end of racial violence..and double standards..back in Selma, Ala. ….when the hell are the red necks going to stop with racial discrimination..
I applaud both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for their vigilance in this case…kate
