Tweedledee and Tweedledum
I'm confused. How do these two "reverends" manage to keep "congregations"?
The Jena situation is a disgrace. Sharpton claims he doesn't want a "negro fit", Jackson has called Obama out for acting "white" by not showing enough support of the Jena 6.
Maybe attempted murder is too harsh a sentence for a six on one beating resulting in unconsciousness, I don't know, but there certainly needs to be some severe accountability, regardless of skin color. Yet these kids are quickly becoming heroes, and supporters are rallying by the thousands to protect their "civil rights". Rights?...six of them just ganged up on one to beat the crap out him...and the six are the victims?
"Well, if the situation was reversed...." Bull crap, there'd be so much media attention over a case like that it would make this one look like one of Ned Reynold's Springfield highschool football reports.
Will white Amercans ever be able to repay their debt to black Americans? Or is the media attention and spotlight just too bright for these characters to walk away from?
Yes, let's just free these six young men. Blacks were discriminated against at one point, so let's allow them to commit group acts of violence against whites at their leisure. This plan makes perfect sense.

Lets tell the whole story. If you are gonna ccnvict these 6 lets get the man that pull the gun on the young man convict him with attempted murder. And what about the young man that was attacked at the party with a bottle. Since they were some good ole boys they were let go. That was attempted murder with a BOTTLE. The good ole boys that hung the noose, expell them from school which is what should have happen. Then and then only can you talk. Until this happens, you can['t tell us that this wasn't racism.
Thanks for your insight Jean.
I agree that there may have been racism, including reverse racism, involved, which is sad.
You're also correct that I left out some of the other recent happenings in this harmonious little town. And I did so on purpose...so what. What does the rest of the "story" have anything to do with the fact that six kids attacked, knocked unconscious, and repeatedly beat and kicked another human while already down. White or black, this is uncalled for, and the attackers should be punished rather than glorified.
The kids who put the nooses in the tree probably should have recieved a more severe punishment, however I'm not sure that expulsion and more lack of education would have been the correct measure. The "good ole boy" weilding the bottle was let go, but only after being charged with simple battery.
Regardless of these other items and the so-called "whole story", I was taught that two wrongs don't make a right.
Maybe that's not so in Jena, Louisiana.
I don't know Sarge, I thought Rev. Sharpton was the only intelligent Presidential candidate last election.
He certainly had the "best hair" category wrapped up.
Lotsa "quotes" floating around these parts these days...
