This file contains source text for The Jena Project, more than 3,000 comments from whileseated.org and youtube in response to photographs and write-ups I posted about Jena, Louisiana, during the summer of 2007.MDM - The Jena Project - 07.20.2008

Jena Person,Real Fred and the other IDIOTS. I'm sure you know who you are. All, of you are prime examples of why we are outraged at the Jena 6. It is rediculous that people like you still exist in this day in time. You need to be extinct. You're unbelievable. Your problem is that you are living in those backwoods and can't survive in the real world. I understand your pain that you want to hold onto your ancesters white superior attidude. But, this is no longer the 40s,50,60s we are in.2007. Get over It and get a eduacation so you can compete with all the competition that is now comprised of a multi cultures. You, will no longer be able to survive as you have even in the backwoods down in Jena cause we are coming down their to straighten out that backwoods thinking too. It is sad that out of a town of less then 4000 people that your black residence are still on welfare. But, I'm not even surprised because they have not been given equal opportunity. That is evident by your comments which displays your mentality level.You can sit on your front porches and chew your tobacco all you want and try to justify that these kids lives need to be ruined over a school fight. Please. If they really wanted to beat that boy he would have been hospitalized. Do you really think that was a beating and he is attending a ring ceremony that same evening. Get over It. It was a school yard fight. No guns and knives or any weapons at that matter. This is the exact reason the majority of your black Jena residence are still on welfare because of unfair an unjust treatment. Is that your town model let's keep um down. So, we don't have to compete with them and we will be able to preserve our false sence of superiority. Get a Life.nameLive - 09.06.2007

You know what i am speechless..... WE AS A PEOPLE should really wake up... i am a strong black women i am only 23 years i have a daughter..... and I think this is sad... Black, white, spanish all people need to wake up.... I read alot of the comments that were made... But people are so blind... You have to understand what you see here in the flesh now is a test.... People of all colors need to wake....... WAKE UP...... WAKE UP.... stop all of this craziness we are leaving ourself open to other threats.. For anna that made that comment before me that you should just leave your town.. why should we run???? Are you tired of running... for shar i agree that your family from your knowledge was a slave owner... but if you only knew what growing up and worrying if you didnt do what a white person (back then) said you would be lynch felt.... then i wouldnt respond to that.... not to say what you went through if you have troubles arent the same..... butThurraya A - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

to kevin, big picture here kevin....lol everthing is relative. wow! asanine to incorporate all of our social issues into this! your not from chicago your from marsmark - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

To Marc, umm..What's with the "ashamed of being white" comment?? Where's the relevence? Also I live in Chicago not Shangri-la. Here we go again with the stand up comedy bit. It still has nothing to do with this thread. Again your going off on tangents and it seems as though whenever people defend something they believe in, gangsta music,comedy,welfare, black on black crime is somehow is incorporated into this thread. It's asinine to do soKevin J - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

I am not from the South .. I also am not black or white.. I have a question, and I dont mean this in any form of disrespect.. I am hispanic.. .. If you live in a town of 3000 and only 12% of the population is black.. and your in the south..Even though we shouldn't be forced to move.. but as a mother,.. I would never live and relocate.. because no matter how much you fight it.. things will never change.. especially the south.. if I was afriacanm american.. I would move the hell out of that town into the city.,Its not worth itAnna - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

Now I feel like I have to defend myselve for having the post show up several times. I see that gets PEOPLE very angry...so sorry I clicked on submit once But as u can see it went thru several times! One more thing .....When OJ got clear that son of a bitch looser..you didnt see white people go crazy, throw protests... beat up any black people. Still wonder why people think they way they do? Well all know oj is guilty and clearly got away with murder. But there was justice Johhny Coklin died....thank u good lord! Next will be oj... god knows. Why do I mention OJ...LET ME EXPLAIN BEFORE "NIKKI" SAYS IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS BLOG.....AS SHE SAID ABOUT MY OTHER ONE! LOL...I WILL BREAK IT DOWN TO THOSE WHOM ARE NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO PUT IT TOGETHER....OJ (BLACK MALE) KILLED HIS WHITE WIFE AND HER FRIEND..WHITE FRIEND...HE GOT AWAY WITH IT. BUT U DIDNT SEE ALL THIS CRYING AND FIGHTING AND SCREAMING racial SHIT FROM WHITE PEOPLE. We didnt agree but we didnt TRY TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT. GOT IT? WE DONT CARRY ON THE WAY AL SHARPTON DOES...WHO IS HE ANYWAY..WHAT IS HE? TROUBLE MAKER, HE ENCOURAGES HATE...HE IS BLACK PEOPLES MINDS! How does it feel to know there is someone that has that power over you. He gets everyone started , he basically make ya all act a fool! lol... Now his book that black mutha fffff is basically admitting to killing nicole... thats what ur race should be proud of peole like him!? lol..now thats funny. Karma.what goes around comes around right johhny? oj.... ha! you and your kind should be ashamed of what u got away.. wheres the white people crying ..i cant hear their voices!... think about that one.shar - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

History is just that history! So lets focus on today..and not decades ago. I hate...HATE IT when people blame white people for slavery! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT, NOR DID MY EXSITING FAMILY. All black people even a very close friend of mine...feels that white people owe something to them for the past. I cant even get started with her cuz she ends up crying and I end up laughing and mad. You mean to tell me the black people have such a heart that they cant get over what happened to there family members that were slaves? Yes slavery hurt... its not a nice thing, it's not right. We cant dwell on it, we need to move. It doesnt make sence to me why black people get mad at whites but yet there killing there own kind.... talking about each other in songs, selling drugs to there own race ( killing them!)Having gangs where they have to brake the law in order to be excepted...this is what black people promote , this is what all of you are proud of? I see how all of us are talking the black ,white thing well you know what...maybe we should be working together it's us the comments that are said here on this post..that causes hate and tenison!! THINK ABOUT THAT ONE! WE ARE THE HATERS...WHY CANT WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THE BOYS DID SOMETHING IM SURE THEY REGRET NOW AND HOPEFULLY ALL INVOLVED BOTH SIDES WILL THINK TWICE THE NEXT TIME THEY WANT T ODO A PRANK...OR PHYSICALLY HARM SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!shar - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

You "Jena 6" supporters make me sick. You might as well support the non-human son of a bitches that killed Christopher Newsome and Channon Christian. The fact that you support any part of this, either side, shows, with volumes, what is wrong with the "Black Community" You want equality and you are the first to cry about some bull shit that is wrong regardless of color. I support these individuals because a fist figh shouldn't lead to live in prison as a teenagers. Not saying the individuals shouldn't be punished but look at the extent of the charges? Attempted murder by way of a gym shoe? and maybe Chicago is a little different but when does hanging nooses on trees considered pranks? So if I painted Swastikas all over a jewish synagogue would that be a "silly prank"? Probably not. It's a hate crime..Or wait a minute, what's considered a hate crime.. Let's face it there has always be different rules for blacks than whites. History have told us this many times so let's not play stupid. Obviously if you can't see the difference than you are not trying to see it. Lastly what does gangsta rap, welfare, and all these other tangents have anything to do with this case? It is no way relevant to this thread..Kevin Johnson - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

while "gangsta" rap, welfare and "other"tangents are not "directly" related to this "thread", they are HOWEVER related to the whole spindle....come on, you know as well as i that everything we as humans snowballs in some direction.Hello, i live in the real world and in my world blacks can make derogatory reamarks in stand up comedy and in their music, against whites without inciting riots..I work with so many who think they can say what they want against whites without repercussions. do you live in shangrala sir? their is nationalism and pride in ones race celebrated all over the world, are you ashamed of being white? I for one cannot let what a minority of whites did to the indians, and the enslavement of blacks, make me ashamed. no wonder so so many of white young people act "getto", they have been drilled over and over about what their ancestors did. they are embarassed to be white. damn, lets stop the white shame and black overusage of our samemarc - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

Before anyone makes a comment I only clicked POST ONCE but two came thru maybe thats what happened to the ones who have the same post many times, if so I apologize. I'm out of this forum anyway Have a great dayThe Real Fred - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

Ref what PERSON WITH A MESSAGE said ,whos comment came thru 5 I repeat 5 times. Atl is a toilet, waiting to be flushed, I know I lived in Acworth until the crime started spreading from ATL to the small towns. And we know who commits 75% of all crime. check out newnation.org and click on black on white crime.Your bogus comment: (I live in an all black community where your average 16 year old drives a mercedes) occurs only when DRUG sales are up. Assuming you do live near ATL, bet you don't walk any street downtown especially Auburn St.after dark. (The area, Stone Mountain right where the KKK used to have there good ol' meetings).I'm sure with your background that you meant THEIR instead of there meetings, life was good in the 40s & 50s then the KKK faded away and now the SOUTH is a cesspool because of integration. enough saidThe Real Fred - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

Nikki, hey i started the post with the welfare thing due to "people" saying blacks are minority. I am not here to post an angry post I stated a fact! I actually live in a small town..village to be specific, I KNOW ABOUT GIRLS on welfare due to the over growth of getto families moving into my area. I did not say they were all black there's many races...but just so u know I finished school... even put my selve thru collage...I am sure those girls milking the system know how to write becuz they are buzy writting to their baby daddies in JAIL! LOL.... I am not jealous....my parents worked their whole life to "support these families on welfare that sit around and do nothing!" So I when I WAS A TEENAGER YEARS AGAO..SAID THE STATE OWES IT TO ME. MY PARENTS AND FAMILY PAID INTO THIS SO LET ME TRY AS I FINISH SCHOOL AND WORK. Not as i sit home getting pregant over and over again with all different guys. Jealous..of those girls? Are u kidding me? Never that...Jealous is ugly and that I'm not! I dont live where they live..they migrate to a better safer place just so they can ruin it! Thank You. Now back to everything eles I said, funny how u only mentioned the welfare...what about 6 on 1? What about these parents raising their children to be strong and name calling should be brushed aside..Thats what j-z dose right brush ur shoulder? lol I am around and friends with other races...but it doesnt mean I need to act getto...the talk, the no respect, the mouth on these people.. I am raising my son to be a gentleman to all man kind...never call a female a bitch...like most rappers do. Or never call someone a racest name! All of this comes from the parents like I said. I think the white kids should have gotten kicked out of school! I also feel justice will be served to all the kids..what goes around comes around..sad to say. Nikki, sorry u thought I SOUNDED LIKE A 14 YR OLD. Hate to say ur wrong. UR not hurting my feelings..see I was raised sticks and stones may brake my bone but NAMES...ACTIONS PRANK WILL AND CAN NEVER HURT ME! TOO STRONG FOR THAT BABY GIRL. NIKKI IS A GIRLS NAME RIGHT? CRIME IS CRIME BLACK OR WHITE...GET OVER IT OK! Take the damm tree down! The principal needs to get kicked out of that school, 6 on 1...is that how we react to something we dont agree with? Nikki tell what do u think?shar - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

60% of Jena voted for David Duke to become Senator of LA... Just in case you don't know who David Duke is, here's his resum'. David Ernest Duke is a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, a candidate in presidential primaries for both the Democratic and Republican parties, and former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.[2][3][4][5][6] Duke is a self-styled "white nationalist", but his critics commonly refer to him as a white supremacist. He says he does not think of himself as a racist, however, stating that he is a "racial realist" and that he believes that "all people have a basic human right to preserve their own heritage".[7] He speaks in favor of racial segregation and white separatism.[8][9][10] Duke has had one successful run for public office as a member of the Louisiana House. He has also made several unsuccessful bids for political office, including runs for the Louisiana Senate, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor of Louisiana and twice for President of the United States.Kevin J - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

I am a wht father of two bi-racial boys and yes the world is messed up. i will pray for those who have been wronged in this country and the world for that matter, but not for these boys! They should pray to god they didnt kill that boy, because instead of off to college and sports, this particular young man would be off to prison for a long timemark - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

lol...wow defending themselves huh? beating a person not one one one. or two or three or four or five but six on one, is defending themselves! You are hilarious. Guess what, segregation exist now and forever. in the blk as well as wht communities and other communities still yet. oh and by the way, why is the blk race the only group of people in this country who can start a riot at the drop of a hat? Of course what those wht boys did was wrong. And the principle should have done more to discipline them. You can't tell me that blks dont bring things on themselves too. blk on blk murder is a blk epidemic. glorifying having to kill someone in gangsta rap is a blk epidemic. stop blaming whts for all your problems. whts have been resposible for alot of blk suffrage in this country, but only a small percentage of whts were responsible. Lets all try to look at both sides level headedly. the blame game has surpassed so many overtimes its not funnymarc - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

I think the 3 white guys who hung the nooses in the tree should be prosecuted for starting a riot. The school administration for failing to act on what they considered a harmless prank but then to arrest those who are only defendong themselves is Ludicrious! I was under the impression that with the passge of the civil rights act in 1965 that Jim Crow laws were abolished? The school system for having the whites only tree should lose federal money for the illegal act of segregation made illegal in Brown Vs Board of Education. I would like to urge President Obama to review this in Jan of 2009.Slevin Kelevra - 09.06.2007 - on whileseated.org

First off please stop this BS that all black people live in the hood and are fatherless. Come to the ATL where you see black people doing it big as CEOs, Lawyers, Doctors, and etc. I live in an all black community where your average 16 year old drives a Mercedes. The area, Stone Mountain right where the KKK used to have there good ol' meetings. Trust we don't need any government hand outs over here or white people for that matter. That situation would have never occurred over here, and if it did it would be the opposite six white boys tried by an all black jury!Person With a Message - 09.05.2007 - on whileseated.org

Shar I think I spelled wellfare wrong - sorry not familiar with the spelling. Is it one L welfare? I'll just say government aid or handout. I guess it is all the same. A handout from the government.Nikki - 09.05.2007 - on whileseated.org

Shar You sound like a 14 year old kid. You don't know what groups are considered a minority. Sounds like you need to get your GED. You sound very jealous of people who are on wellfare. The Jena6 story is not about someone applying for wellfare and not receiving it. You stated that you applied and did not receive it. Maybe you were not able to read whatever forms they gave you which prevented you from receiving the aid. I have never been on this program nor have I ever known anyone on this program. I thought this program had been elimiated several years ago. Maybe this is a small southern town thing. Shar it is obivious from your post that you are very jealous of those girls that are receiving the aid. It's obvious that you live in the same ghetto area in which they live. How else would you know they are receiving government assistance and yet they purchase expensive things. Shar why don't you ask those girls you are jealous of where did they get their aid from. Maybe this will help you. Have those girls read the form for you. If they are receiving aid it's obvious they were able to complete the required forms. Maybe this time you will get the aid in which you desire. It's not good to be jealous of people who are receiving government aid. What has the world come to? LOL Shar I am sure once those girls give you the information about where they received their aid, you will be a happier person. It sounds like from your post that you should be entitled to some sort of government aid in a retro active amount.Nikki - 09.05.2007 - on whileseated.org

Im a white man with kids by a blk woman. I love my children. But the fact that so many blacks try to intimidate whites in general is so obvious. This is another example. If your white and say something to a blk person that he or she doesnt like, whatch out its on. ranting and raving and making a mole hill into a mountain. Again, my sons and i have been subjected to racism by whites all of of my parental life. But whats so passe is the facts blks do the same things and get away with it. Its a two way street. My sons have had just as many problems if not more, with blacks. My sons inherited predominate white features:however the do appear biracial. They get ridiculed for that. Blacks taunt them for the music they listen to: They prefer rock. We all fall short of whats right. I have had to basically fight my own race for the respect of my sons from their outward appearance. But what hurts is that blacks dont show as much apathy towards them until they reveal who they are inside and what they like and prefer. Im tired of blks who think racism is a one way street. if this society was dominated by blks as it is with whites, we would have the same scenario heremarc - 09.05.2007 - on whileseated.org

Enough... I am white born here in America, I am a single mother of a 14 yr old son whom by the way is half hispanic. I say that to let everyone know I am not racist, I cant beleive all this black and white talk! Blacks, and every other race are minorities.... ARE U KIDDING? I WORKED ALL MY LIFE TO PROVIDE FOR MY CHILD,I HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND WAS DENIED ANY HELP. SO PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHO IS MINORITY? I SEE SO MANY GIRLS WALKING AROUND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SYSTEM...3 KIDS BY SO MANY DIFFERENT DADS..SITTING at home wearing name brand stuff, driving nice cars and getting help from the gov! Where's my help? Anyway back to this jena6 thing.....SOMEONE SAID 6 YOUNG MEN WERE JUST TRYING TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS? How by kicking the living crap out of a WHITE PERSON? It is what it is, 6 orange , pink, black ,white ..against 1. If these so called men were really men they would have exspressed there hate toward the action of the objects hanging differently! Grow up...yes it suck to hear or see racist things but if you were raised and brought up to be head strong you would know "stick and stones my brake my bone" BUT NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME! VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER THESE BOY'S KNOW BETTER, THEY WERE ANGEY , HURT FELT DISRESPECTED WELL THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE DELT WITH THE AWEFUL SITUATION DIFFERENTLY. COME ON WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT RACE...WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A GANG OF BOYS BEATING UP ANOTHER BOY.!! END THE VIOLENCE! WHITE , BLACK...WE ARE ALL JUST TRYING TO LIVE.... GOD THIS IS SO STUPID. WHY NOT A RALLY AFTER THE OBJECTS WERE HUNG ON THE TREE...WHY WAIT TILL IT GOT BAD? CRIME IS CRIME...PARENTS TEACH OR KIDS...THEIR IS GOOD AND BAD IN EVERY RACE..BUT IF WE DONT LIKE SOMETHING VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER. NOW WITH THE WHITE CHILDREN DOING THE SO CALLED PRANK...IT'S WRONG...GROW UP ...UR JUST ASKING FOR TROUBLE AND WELL TROUBLE FOUND YOU! DID THE WHITE BOY DESERVE TO GET HIS AZZ KICKED...DEFINE WHO DESERVES A BEATING? LOOK AT THE ACTIONS OF THESE WHITE CHILDREN CAUSED.... I HOPE THEY GET DISAPLINED BY THEIR PARENTS..AND MOM AND DAD IS THIS WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING OUR FUTURE TO BE SO RACIST TOWARD BLACK PEOPLE? WHITE PEOPLE GET OVER IT BLACK PEOPLE GET OVER IT! SAD TO SAY I LIVE IN NJ AND THEIR ARE SOME PLACE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WALKING ALONE DUE TO WHITE, SPANISH, BLACK , ECT...THERE'S BAD IN EVERYONE...BUT THIS IS ABOUT A CHILD GETTING BEAT UP BY A GROUP OF CHILDREN....UNFAIRLY FOUGHT! THOSE BOYS DESERVE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THEM. Tell our rappers white and black and spanish to start becomming a positive influence on our youth. Stop wearing ur jeans so low where we can see your underwear, stop calling ur own kind nigg#5 if the word is not right NO ONE SHOULD BE USING IT, NO BLACK PERSON , NO RAPPER...NO ONE. WHO SAID OUR PRESIDENT DOESNT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE.KYANE WEST RIGHT? WELL FUNNY HOW GEORGE BUSH HAD A FEMALE BLACK ASSISTANT...OPPS WAIT SHE TALKS AND DRESSES WHITE..SO THAT MEANS SHE MUST BE WHITE RIGHT? THAT IS SO STUPID TO HEAR OR SAY.PROPER ENGLISH DOESNT MEAN ONE IS TRYING TO BE WHITE! HE WHO SAY ANOTHER RACE SHOULD NOT USE CERTAIN WORDS...SHOULDNT USE THEM THEMSELVES! GOT MY POINT? ALL U BLACK PEOPLE GET SO OFFENDED WHEN THE WORD IS USED...DONT USE IT YOURSELVES ! WHATS NOT RIGHT FOR ONE IS NOT RIGHT FOR ANOTHER! STOP THIS WHOLE THING! THE BOYS INVOLVED WITH THE ANTI BLACK THING ARE WRONG ...BUT THEY PHYSICALLY DIDNT HURT ANYONE...MENTALLY YES BUT ONCE U PUT UR HANDS ON ANOTHER HUMAN IT BECOMES THE STATES PROBLEM!

This is a prime example of small town southern living. I appreciate this being brought to the forefront for the whole world to see. I also agree that now that it is being placed in the mass media light, they need to cover it from both sides and not just one.

This morning my best friend mentioned this case over the phone and advised me to to stay tuned to CNN for more coverage of the Jena Six case. After watching the CNN news piece I researched more information using google and found this site. Thank you so much for keeping the web community posted on new developments to the Jena Six case. As a UT-Austin college student I maintained the eye-for-an-eye mentality on the death penalty issue until Governor Death (G.W . BUSH) was elected in 1995 and permitted the execution of 150+ while in office. As governor of Texas he claimed that each individual was given a fair trial and was guilty of their conviction. It was then that I learned of the disproportionate number of minorities serving time on death row and how the justice system failed them. Many were (and are) either poor or minority and sometimes both. It's cases like the Jena Six that remind me of the whack Texas legal system even though I consider Texas home.Jbaires 2007.09.04 - on whileseated.org

Hanging nooses and name calling does not justify the beating of another person, especially a 6v1. That's basically what this story comes down to. The DA kept his word, and the black students should have known better. Regardless of the apparent racism, BEATING SOMEONE IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOUR CASE. If you want change, go about it in the right way.Steve - 2007.09.04 - on whileseated.org

u dont want "us" here...take it up with your ancestors. dont put all black people into the negative category you have created in your head. im probably more intelligent than some of you...especially the ones who have made ignorant statements about the black race. grow up, stop sounding unintelligent and disrespectful. oh yea, u make yourself sound so correct and educated when you talk about how we need to go back to where we came from. get a life, get a hobby, go to school, or as a matter of fact go watch "Lonesome Dove"... and stop justifying the nooses!!!! damn!!!! my family is not "african american" so dont think i'm just speaking for "my people", why is it so hard to just have an educated blog without some of you being nasty to others. grow up! omg! its.2007, get over it, whites are not the supreme race, no one is the supreme race. stop reading your great great grandfather's slavery handbook.chanelle - 2007.09.04 - on whileseated.org

Wow, after reading that chrages had been reduced, i felt disgusted! I know good damn and well if it had been 6 caucasian males beating up 1 african, Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, NAACP, would be all over it and the Caucasian males would be sentenced to max that the offenses carry! Of course this was racially motivated and they should be punished and sentenced to the max that these offenses carry!

The problem with the "activist" community is that they see only in strident black and white. The "Jena Six" are not innocents. If they faced racism, they are not permitted to beat the crap out of someone as a response. It doesn't matter what hung from that tree, nooses or otherwise. Do you think Dr. King would approve?!? Hardly. If you folks could ever get some balance to your positions, the rest of us might actually listen to you. And FYI, to the muslim community, same thing.

Mr Simmons I dont know this Jena person personally but I am from Jena and I havent saw anything they said that was untrue. I see why you are so upset ,because you have been fed a bunch of lies by others not from Jena. You should take a good look in the mirror after those comments.

90% fatherless rate in the inner city black community, look at the way people conducted themselves during Katrina, showing up at the SuperDome empty handed with it sticking out only to rape and pillage your own people. You are the pillars and salt of your own culture. Keeping this kind of support instead of using your time to change the image and fatherless rate of black america is why you find yourself in this situation today. You just don't get it. Hell, keep it up and you will be like the Indians, gone as the Hispanics move in.color not required - 2007.09.04 - on whileseated.org

If it is not about color why not let them face the charges and their accuser and have their day in court without all of the rhetoric. It is not about color it is about right and wrong. This is not Rodney King, this kid, was probably not the one responsible, but the black teens could not see that, it is all hatred and you offended me and so on. I am white, and I get offended, big deal get over it and move on, the only people keeping this community down and under the thumb of "whitey" is them, with this kind of ignorance. You want to support something, where is your support for the Duke Rape "NOT" victim. That is right, just like Jesse and Al, we cannot talk against her she is one of ours and it is that mentality that keeps blacks right where they will stay. In the ghetto bitching instead of doing something to positively change, like say, be DADS too your children, you would rather sit around and bitch about how you are discriminated against.

colornotrequired: I've read about the Christopher Newsome & Channon Christian case. I actually went to the site I'm sure you subscribe to, and sure you are a member of. Was there any overwhelming evidence to press charges against the black males who did this? Atrocities are committed by all races. To try and point all of only one race's flaws and rubbing it in their faces does nothing to help our country out. So until you can see the whole picture, keep your comments to yourself. We don't want white power activists in our town. We don't want angry racial activists. We just want our judicial system to do what it's supposed to do. We just want our town to grow from these experiences, not be caught in a raging battle between two radical ideologies.

this is no worse or better a crime than the one that involves Christopher Newsome & Channon Christian. Where is the "Black" outcry for these fools. Shouldn't they be freed also, or is it just when you are offended it is okay to kill or attempt to kill others.

Hey Mr. Simmons: You claim Robert Bailey got hit repeatedly with beer bottles. Very odd, but I have his statement he made to the police in my hand. He mentions nothing about a beer bottle. He mentions being punched by two white guys and said later he and two of his friends fought 2 or 3 white guys. It's a little strange how he failed to put anything about a beer bottle in his statement. Looks like he did a little sugar coating of his own, BITCH.Jena Person - Sep 3.2007 - on whileseated.org

You know I just got all of this information today. I was appalled by what I read. How could these boys be charged for something they were so instigated to do. Well then I started thinking with the brain that god gave me and decided to look up the facts on this actual incident. I am not from Jena, and from a totally different state up the east coast. I did my homework. And found the same things that the "Jena Person" did. This story is very one sided and makes the whole town of Jena out to be this horrible racist place. Yes all places have there issues and yes, whites, blacks, yellows and purples need to keep their eyes open for all racism. We all were not slaves or have know any just like the one comment, but that doesn't mean racism doesn't exist. It also goes both ways, blacks can be just as racist as whites. Get all of your facts straight then make an educated decision. Don't be one of the sheep following the heard. Think for yourself!!!!Conserned and Caring - Sep 3.2007 - on whileseated.org

I first posted this on 8/6/07 am posting it again because some of you may have not read it. The truth does hurt sometime.About the Jena Six: Where are the TWO Poverty Pimps (Rev Al Sharpton & Rev Jesse Jackson), guess they didn't think its worth the time running down to Jena for oops I forgot it was 6 BLACK kids beating 1 WHITE kid, had it been the other way around, their phony asses would have come a running.Three things ruined Jena La & AMERICA #(1) FDR creating WELFARE in the 40s,most of Jenas black residents and their descendants are still on it. #(2) Brown vs Board of Education 1954, without it Jena High would have been all white and none of this would have taken place,and #(3) the biggest blunder of all time was LBJ signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These three despicable acts ruined all of America not just Jena. All major cities and small ones too are now CESSPOOLS and our schools have been turned into toilets just waiting to be flushed.Wanna know whats wrong with America, just watch MAURY,any JUDGE show, COPS, AMW,and my favorite-THE FIRST 48, or go to the site newnation.org and you will be enlightend with the truth.So get your signs out, parade around town, call for justice, but I guarantee you that America is FED up with your stupid RIOTING everytime something doesn't go your way and will take no more of the burn baby burn crap that your race has been dishing out for 100 yrs or so.So I say to (James Chionsini, M.S.W.) who wants the locals in Jena to rise up, bring it on. Hitler had the right idea-he just had the wrong color.

For Mr.Sarcastic (8/25/07) who had said in his post(actually he had to post in twice ) (let me see: you enslaved and discriminated against us for over 400 years.) I've heard that expression for many years now about how the whiteman has held you coloreds back for 400 yrs, lets see, that would be in the year 1607, ain't too many whites or coloreds living today that knows about how you were held back. And remember 90% of the slave traders that brought your people to the USA were black, we didn't bring you. We don't want you even today.Gov George Wallace of Sweet home Alabama in the early 50s had FREEDOM BUSSES & SHIPS ready to take you and your people home . The busses where one way to the North and many black women took them to have the maid jobs available up north and the ships where anchored in Charleston SC to haul your despicable race back to AFRICA one way of course, but he got no takers on the ships, why you ask???

YEAH! Cut the tree down! Cause it's all that mean ole tree's fault! Right? Your stupid. This story is being told in lop sided fashion. As though ALL the white folks are out to get the poor victimized black people..... PLEASE! So far it looks like you're ignoring the fact that 6 kids jumped on 1 kid. Was the white kid like 20 feet tall or something? Was he a professional Cage Fighter? Why did it take SIX kids to whip his ass? Sounds more like a kid got ambushed. That's the kind of behavior most white people would expect to hear. Black people are discriminated against and judged because of the bad apples out there setting the standard. A bad standard. Not how they look but how they behave. Being black just visually associates you with another problem. Just go hang out at the intersection of Jackson St. and Bolton Ave. in Alexandria on any random evening. It's not a dangerous part of town because of all the WHITE people selling crack and begging for money. Black peoples biggest enemy lies within it's own communities. Drive around the neighborhoods and look for yourself. Many Black kids think its wrong to speak proper English because that's selling out and being white. I have a girlfriend who gets hassled all the time for "sounding white". Sounding WHITE!? Can you believe that? How about sounding like someone who grew up and learned to speak English. Black people ARE just as capable of anything as anyone else can do. But just listen to our young black athletes stumble thru plain conversations on after-game TV interviews. It's not because they're stupid. It's because they were raised in a house where people tossed grammar and fundamental education to the wind. Do you REALLY expect that job interview to go your way when you "sound black"? It DOES affect the way black people are received in society. Want equality? Teach you children to conform to the standard we ALL are held to. Black culture is difficult for white americans to understand because "ebonics" isn't seen as something to be proud of. Mostly it jut sounds like people intentionally destroying the language,not preserving a dialect left over from Africa which not only annoys everyone but also further alienates people from the mainstream. Political correctness saves the day though because everyone is scared to death of these issues. Just up the road from Jena in Deville La. is an ALL white school. Buckeye Elementary an BHS K-12. And guess what! its a great school system. NO gangs. No tension. No kids running wild all over the neighborhoods raising themselves with no dads. No groups of young punks roaming the streets on bicycles at 3 in the morning. Its really nice. Head on into Alexandria to Peabody or Bolton high school in Alexandria La. hmmm. Much more Chaos. Totally different environment. Why? Hmm. I'm sure there's more to the story at Jena than the noose thing. The tasteless joke of one or two little idiots! Nobody had to ASK permission to sit under that tree. Sure all the white kids gather up together. SO WHAT?And what about that comment made by the attorney about ending lives with the stroke of a pen? Did anyone REALLY hear it that way? Sounds exaggerated and taken out of context. I'd also bet that the only people that called it the "white tree" were black students. Don't judge this situation from one biased, embellished account. No doubt the punishment may be excessive. But you really DON'T know what went down at that school or who started the fight. The black people in MY neighborhood get along great and the kids play well together with the white people. Gated community. People with CAREERS and means. Children that are taught to speak like educated people and not SNOOP DOG. Ignore it if you want. Most prejudice can be avoided by starting from the beginning with the little ones. No NIGGER. No WHITE DEVIL. No talk like that in the house. Ever. If you don't catch it there....it's to late..........................................................!

First of all, what you see in the media is a one sided story. The facts are not there. The nooses hung in the tree was definetly a mistake! but no bodily harm was caused to another human black or white. The incident at the Gotta Go store, according to your website is completely false. This white man was mearly pumping gas when these boys jumped on him, he grabbed for a gun and they beat him. Two nights later these SAME black boys came into a party and started yet another fight. They left the party and went down the road where they surrounded a truck with white kids and opened the door and proceeding hitting a white girl. (This girl has a crushed bone in her eye.) The next week the school burnt! A few days after 6 black boys jumped on 1 white boy and savagely beat him!! What part of that. do you not understand. If CNN could look at Mychal Bell's criminal history maybe the story would not be one-sided. You should also, talk with some of the black community about what terrozing means when it comes to this group of boys. Oh, by the way the black jurors summoned for court did not show up.lovinjena - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

this is to jena person: one of the jena 6, bobby purvis is my first cousin, i am from columbia and have been to jena 1,000 times. i just want to say what you are saying about this case is only pure 100% sugar coating. yes 6 black kids beat up one white kid(that also is one of the noose hangers buddies) "AFTER" this white kid racially taunted the black kid that got beaten up at the party at the barn by a grown ass white man, then he was beaten with beer bottles "and" kicked while he was down. you claim not charges where pressed, then can you tell me why the white man was charged with simple battery. with "no" charges being pressed...also i would like you to tell me in your sugar coating way why the beer bottle beaters and kickers where not charged with anything???? in my opinion and any sain person's opinion the D.A. is full of shit. and the public defender is a jackass. in a small town like jena, just like columbia the D.A., the public defender and the sheriff department are all on the same team,...you know this , i know this , anybody from any of the similar small towns know this. jena, columbia, winnfield, winnsboro, jonesville, jonesboro..you can go to any one of them and it's the same set up, the same sad story and it's time to stop sugar coating this shit and time to for it to stop. at the very least the trial should have been moved out of LaSalle parish. also you say you don't think barker said "nigger" to the black kids, that the media is just making that up...i say to you in your face if i could..BULLSHIT!!!...so what if you go around to different blogs stating your version of "facts", i know my 1st cousin and my sister and my father and all the other people from jena are not lying to me. so go on with your politicing and damage control for the image of the white people in jena, but i know the truth and i don't need you or anybody else like you to tell me "wuts goin on n jeanna" because i already know for myself and now everybody on this blog knows too.Mr. Simmons Jr. - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

PLEASE READ UP EVERYONE: Do you want to know the truth, or do you want to just get pissed off and mad at an entire town because the media is misinforming you? What I am putting below is some clarifications about information included in this article. "beneath a "whites only" shade tree. There was an unwritten rule that blacks couldn't sit beneath the tree" This was NEVER a "whites only" tree. This is completely false. Just because white students TYPICALLY hung out there didn't mean it was implied that black students were not welcome. In fact when I was in school, this is where many black & white students met to hang out. These 3 boys who hung the noose made a stupid, racially insensitive mistake and they should have been expelled. Most of the white people in Jena feel this way. The nooses don't make this the "white tree", though. "The school administration chalked it up as a harmless prank, but Jena's black population didn't take it so lightly." The school administration INCLUDES the principal. The principal recommended expulsion but it was overturned by the superintendent. "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." Another statement that is COMPLETELY false. The District Attorney was at an assembly and warned THE ENTIRE SCHOOL this. Not just the black students. He even put a posting in the local newspaper warning them. "Black students were assaulted at white parties." ONE black student was assaulted by ONE white guy. Then several jumped in on both sides later. The white guy was charged with misdemeanor assault and pled guilty. "This is the "Gotta Go" in Jena, Louisiana. On December 2nd, 2006, one of the fights that followed the noose incident (and the burning of Jena High School) was here. Three black teens were in the store, including two of the Jena Six, and when they left, they were confronted by a white man with a loaded shotgun. The teens wrestled the gun from him and fled. The gun was later found in a car in the backyard of one of the Jena Six. " Statements are conflicting on this issue, but the TWO eye witnesses who made statements said that the white guy walked out of the truck and was walking towards the store entrance and three black guys said "We got action". So the white guy ran to his truck to get his gun (it wasn't loaded) and they wrestled it from him, punched him, and took off running with the gun. Sounds very different now doesn't it? This story only tells the the black students' account of the incident, while I am speaking of eye witness accounts. "After today, we'll know whether or not the case will be tried in front of an all-white jury" SEVERAL members of the black community were assigned to jury duty FOR THIS CASE, but none showed up. This is factually documented. And yes, this is totally legal according to a lawyer that was at the civil rights meeting held last week with Al Sharpton. What would have happened if JUST ONE was selected for jury duty? "Keep in mind that when one of Mychal Bell's friends (one of the Jena Six still facing trial) had his head cracked open with a beer bottle at an all-white party a few nights before the school fight on Dec. 4th, his assailant received a "simple battery" charge. " At the Fair Barn incident (in question here), NO hospital visit was made and no black student pressed charges. The one who claims to have been hit with a beer bottle only reported this after the media frenzy several months AFTER it happened. No word was spoken about a beer bottle until then, including in his statement he made (I've seen it). How can the DA prosecute someone without a medical report or anyone on the other side pressing charges? "Theodore Shaw's son has been in prison for the last six months awaiting trial " He has since been released. Another up - Mychal Bell's plead for bail was denied by the judge. He cited four violent criminal acts as the reason, and felt he was a threat to the community. So all of you who care about the truth, here it is. For all of you who want to remain angry and pissed off, you are allowed to feel that way. You're in a free country. But using your emotions instead of your intelligence doesn't make you look very good. Most of the information I have given you is backed up by FBI investigators and documents that can be retrieved from the Lasalle Parish courthouse. I'm not just trying to protect my town. If I were an outsider looking into this situation, I would be horrified and angry like you. It's sad how horrible the facts were twisted in this story. For all of you who angrily bark out at all white people in Jena. Get ready, because I am here to call you on everything you say from hear on out. Get your facts straight and speak with intelligence, not emotions.Jena Person - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

s said what are you talking about there are far more blacks in prison than whites. I guess they are all innocent though. Josiah Nobody called anybody teh N**** word where did you get that from. Also the one attacked wasnt even the one of the ones who put the nooses up. By the way have you ever heard of self segregation. I suspect most of your friends are black and that most of the places you hang out are probably mostly black. Your neighborhood maybe be mostly black. Nobody make you go there and no onechoses who you hang with except you. If you go to any school anywhere you will see diferent groups of kids they hang where they are comfortable. Typically you have jocks you hang together, so called geeks, thugs, snobs and in most places races stay somewhat together. Nobody says that you have to do this. Tell me this isnt true. I went to highschool there and I can remember at least 7 distinct groups, whith smaller indivudual groups in the 7. When you started high school and you developed friends you tended to stay in that group. Most of the blacks stayed in one area but that is where they wanted to be.James - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

Who ever is I love my hate yo are very ignorant first of all we did not want to come here you white people forced us to come. Do you remember slavery? Also yo are a piece of white trash for saying all of that garbage segregation is over so black people should be able to sit where ever they want.

Jena is just one town out of thousands who are experiencing racism. The case of the Jena six when its all said and done will help to positively change the course of the town and help to expose other towns for injustices among people especially blacks. Now that people outside of that town are aware of the injustices on those boys, this will help to rally people of all colors to come together for other injustices across our nation and world! Beware and watch out. God's people are on the rise!!!!!!!!!!!shayy murphy - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

What are you trying to say Mr. Fred?? He should be put in jail for others folks racist behavior and belief's? You can't honestly believe he used his tennis shoe as a murder weapon.....so if I punched you, I could get the death sentence if I didn't fight you naked. Come on man be reasonable. For a school yard fight? These are kids we are talking about. Look at the total picture of what happened, from the noose, the party beating, and the shotgun incident. How would you feel as a young youth when you were constantly terrorized by the DA and certain parts of the white population? How would you feel as a parent if you kid's got absolutely NO recourse. How do you charge black kids with assualt and theft when some white racist points a sawed off shotgun on them? If your kid was beaten bloodly at a party, how can the police tell him to say in his place & the attackers walk free? As a parent would you be enraged?? I guess because the KID has a prior run-in with the law, it makes it easier to neglect the truth & aviod the whole problem all together doesn't it????? I don't agree with Al Sharpton much, but he's dead on. If you don't have true justice, things will spirl out of control and someone will hurt or killed. If some racist kid called me the N-word, at 17 years old, I would be upset too. Where are the teachers & supervisors being these verbal exchanges? How does a government threaten a certain segment of the school for a PEACEFUL protest and keep his job? The town authorities let this get out of control. Now 6 young men must pay the price for thier neglect.Josiah - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

from what i know mychal bell was convicted of violent crimes on numerous occasions before this incident (he's a repeat offender) and also something that is never mentioned is that the "jena six" beat the kid unconsious and continued to beat him and kick him while unconsious so lets not be one sided.fred - Sep 2.2007 - on whileseated.org

Blame zionists, jews, and their shabbos goyim for this mess before the people of jena. Some forms of racism are perfectly Kosher, jew approved, legit, such as this war against the Arab race. The jews want to see that everything is Kosher. That with them in charge, lion lies down with lamb. Jews think they are above the rest of mankind. The jew is the root cause of racial conflict in the United States of America. The jew has placed himself as the mediator between races. Raising angers for their own capitalist gains. Begin by attacking the zionist state, not the folk of jena. Attack from the top down. Attack the foul usurist jews on top as our elect, our "Chosen" people. We must renationalize on a town setting. Race must be recognized and reassesed seperate from jewish meddling, and only then can we ourselves truely decide to settle our differences.ZioAmerica is to Blame - Sep 1.2007 - on whileseated.org

Wow!!! So many comments...where to start? It's amazing to see how everyone has strayed away from the story at hand. Everyone is so angry, and it's easy to see why. Is this case based on racism or facts? What are the facts? There are quite a few links regarding this case and it sounds like something is missing. Once a person is rendered unconscious, the fight is over...anything beyond that is beyond a misdemeanor assault. However, I do find it odd that the boy who was beaten so badly went to a party later that evening. The punishment should fit the crime. Now, I wonder y the black jurors didn't show up at the courthouse. That seems a little off to me as well. No one has talked about this in great detail. This is the question I would like answered because this would definitely make it look as if something is not quit right in Jena. Raising Criminals...some comments left here are so hilarious. Ebonics...it hasn't kept me from getting my dream job. It's a fun way of speaking, to me at least. Then again, I do speak 2 foreign languages..ebonics not included..lol. I don't know ABSOLUTELY if you can raise a criminal or not, but I will say this; I am from the ghetto and my family lived in poverty my entire childhood. I was surrounded by gangs, drugs, prostitution, shot outs, police brutality, and etc. I've had to fight for all sort of reasons...racism being one. Needless to say, I wanted out. It's called HOPE. So please quit associating ALL BLACK PEOPLE to a collected few and damnation because some of US are doing well. No matter where you are from: North, South, East, or West...RACISM and PREJUDICES are there either behind your back or in your face. I travel for a living and I can say this for a FACT, in SOME cases, the further south you go the worse it is...blatant in your face...RACISM. So, please stop pretending your neighborhood, city, or town is off limits. It's a shame after all these years we're still at square one. I pray for all the individuals involved.southern girl - Sep 1.2007 - on whileseated.org

Alright, here we go again: "He's been charged with attempted murder for his role in a schoolyard fight" A student walks out of a school building and passes up a guy. The guy sneaks up from behind him and punches him in the back of the head. The student falls towards the ground and hits CONCRETE. He is immediately knocked unconscious. Meanwhile the ATTACKER and 5 of his friends jump in and start beating the guy while he is completely unconscious and unable to defend himself. His hands were shaking, his ears were bleeding. If you call this a schoolyard fight, you have some serious issues to deal with. Oh yeah, and this is what was described in MULTIPLE eye witness statements. "Theo Shaw, was unable to post bail and has been in jail awaiting trial since December" He made bond.Jena Person - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

Listen: Some of you come in here and talk about "how can someone judge someone by the color of their skin" and "this is horrible, this stuff shouldn't be happening today". READ THE POST ABOVE MINE right here. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN JENA!! The media has twisted facts and left things out to make this sound like pure racism. It's NOT!! The truth's gonna come out about this whole thing. And when it does, you're gonna realize that all of these incidents weren't about race, but about a handful of bad seeds (black and white) who decided to make an entire town look stupid. Read this article below, and see for yourself... ...and he just points out a FEW of the major discrepancies in the stories. All of you who planning on coming to protest on September 20th, why don't you walk into the courthouse and take a peak at the eye witness statements made about every event. It'll cool your anger off very quickly, I assure you.Jena Person - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

I live about 10 miles from Jena and I know most of the people involved on both sides of this deal. The press on this has left out a lot of details and slanted a lot of the facts. The prosecution is probably excessive in going for attempted murder, but the fact is a kid was beaten into unconsciousness and then some as a reaction to his verbal insults. I don't care what he said, he didn't deserve to be kicked in the head after being beaten senseless by six guys.

it sickens me that this sort of hate and ignorance is still prevalent in the world. It is these ignorant bible thumpers who hide behind the book elect people like george w bush, and humiliate our entire country. What does it mean to be an American: Racist,? hateful.? ignorant,? greedy,? uninformed,? What are these people from the 50's. Correct me if I'm wrong but are we not a country made up entirely of immigrants? are we not the melting pot? For the love of God read the book don't just thumo it! Reading a few other books would be helpful too!jean - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

I am sick and tired of racial injustices. The only time that people of different colors come together is in the face of adversity or tragedy. When hurricane Katrina nearly wiped out the gulf coast, there were white and black faces alike that cried out for help from whomever would help them. The more that we refuse to accept one another for our similarities and/or differences, the more tragedies that we will suffer, for God said to love one another as I have loved you! Don't lose sight of that. I am pulling for the Jena 6 and I pray your strength!Kimberlee - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

I'm really sad for this country. How brainwashed are you people to still believe that you are some how superior to other humans, based solely on your body's inability to produce pigment? What's with this hate toward other people?! You're not better than anyone else. Human is a human, physical differences are adaptations during evolution to survive in specific climates. But you don't want to hear that, the truth. You want to believe in the hatred created by the media to keep the racial divide in this country. The Jena 6 were wrong for jumping that white kid, but the white kids were just as wrong for attacking the black kid at a party, hanging nooses from school yard trees and the verbal poison they use to taunt another student. Everyone involved should be on trail, the white kids and the black kids, but none of them deserve attempted murder charges. Let me not forget the incident at the gas station, I believe a white person was pointing a gun at black students and when they wrestled the gun away (you know, so they wouldn't get shot) they are charged with a crime? Are you serious, c'mon people, white and black. Let's be serious there is blatant racism at every level of this situation. www.mydimesworth.blogspot.comSad for America - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

Jena Person...some people will never understand. A Southern way of life is just what it is. I have friends from New York and California that have come down here and complain about everything...it's too hot...it rains too much..people move too slow...they talk funny and talk too slow. I just tell them to go back to their crowded, fast way of life and enjoy the traffic and the smog. This is the way we were raised. White and black. I have folks that I work with, white and black, and we've known eachother our whole lives. We recall the days back at the roller rink or summers on the islands. But we all understand that there are definitive cultural differences among us. Growing up, it was not common to have birthday parties together (black and white), bar-b-q's, or other social events. Why? Because that's the way it was and still is. As we have gotten older, my friends and I (black and white) we enjoy things together as families...fishing..watching the Bulldogs on Saturdays, and of course, a good Southern Low Country Boil! But you folks have to remember that any segregation is SELF-SEGRAGATION. It is not overt, nor is there any malice intended. We attend different churches. Therefore, after services on Sunday, we go out together with other church goers to eat. One church may normally go to a particular restaurant while another may eat somewhere else. So you folks that want to poke your noses into other people's business need to remember that we may talk slow and with an accent (so you say) but the Southerners are the most friendly, polite, and hospitable people around. Our children don't refer to their teachers and elders as Yo or dude..it's yes sir, yes ma'm. And we, as adults, maintain that same respect for others, old or young. Black or white.Georgia Boy - 08.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

Californian: You don't understand, the MEDIA has labeled this tree the "white tree". No one in Jena (to my knowledge) has EVER called this the white tree. In fact, when I went to Jena High School, blacks and whites hung out with each other near this tree. Read my post above, where I've brought to light several key points (backed by documentation) that prove this article is unfactual and biased.Jena Person - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

Racism is everywhere. California is dealing with racism in schools everyday, but it a territorial thing. We did not know that it was still going on in the good ole USA. White tree??? How about God's tree since your pictures show many, many churches there. What GOD is just for whites or just for blacks. When did GOD create something just for a particular race. Its so hard to hold back the anger whne there is so much out right racism. Take your Black children and leave that HELL.Californian - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

to namemark: I very much respect your point of view. I completely agree with everything you said. Georgia Boy: FUCKIN A! People in larger cities get on here and try to break down our Southern way of life like it's tragic and a step back in time. They don't realize that they are attacking the Southern way of life, which the BLACK community down here is a part of. They can keep their $800 a month parking permits and gay cops on horseback writing people tickets for parking an inch past the yellow line. I'll stick to my Southern way of life.Jena Person - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

wow..this is alot to take in. i would love to really express myself but most people, black and white still wouldnt understand or care. i am a white man. proud of my heritage. i married and had two children with a blk woman. News flash. Whites are racist. Blacks are racists. The only differnce is we are living in a society today where its overtly not "cool" to be white, unless your a wannabe. Blacks want to imtimidate and push their will on whites as well as the other way around. I wanted to teach my children to treat all people with respect regardless of color. Yet, they have seen racism on both sides. A nigger to whites and "your being too white" to blacks, even though pretale they are mixed. This story of rascism will never end. It will only be contained. As far as this JENA 6 issue. if this is a blk teen being beatin by whites, they would be buried under they jail. kids of all races say and write things daily that would and could incite anger. That will never justify this type of behavior. Lets all take reponsibilty for our actions. evil prevails in our world. it is sadnamemark - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

Some of this stuff is hilarious. Do you know that Microsoft offers a FREE spell check? This is just me but let me give you some advice...mind your own business. You folks that aren't from the South always want to chime in and tell everyone how wonderful it is in New York and Seattle. Good. Stay there. Growing up in South East Georgia, it was not uncommon to hear people from both sides (it's basically 50% white and 50% black here) use derogatory names about one another. Still happens. Always will. We have a 57% graduation rate at our local high schools. Why? Always been that way. Always will. A lot of the black kids are high school drop outs. A lot of white kids too. Why? Teen pregnancy, drugs, prison. Trash is trash. I say to everyone out there to mind your own business. Take positive actions in YOUR community and leave the other folks alone.Georgia Boy - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

Mimi: Just exactly what is my kind. Just because I disagree with you I have to be that kind. Like I said before if you had made it past 6th grade you might know a little more. I am sure the short bus stopped at your house. On a serious note I have to reply to you ond others you dont realize how racist their comments are.I appreciate the intertainment. Everything I have said about this case is the truth they can hook me up to any polygraph machine they would like. Oh by the way thats a lie detector test. I is good that you fight so hard for a cause and if the parts you think are true were. ell I wouldnt have anything to say. Oh and by the way I can build a computer from the motherboard up. It happens to be what I do for a living. I aksi have 3 nieces who are half black and I treat them or their father no differently than my other nieces and nephews. I invite you to visit Jena. you wont see any racism you wont see a divided community, you wont see any off the things the media led you to believe. I truly belive the media should be held responsible for this whole mess. If it wrent for them we wouldnt be wasting our time in this post.James - 08.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

Chanelle: We are in agreement about several things, but let me comment on parts of your argument. "nobody is saying that the boys shouldnt be punished at all" The slogan that is widely used in this case is "Free the Jena 6". So that makes me FEEL that the vast majority of people supporting them think they should be freed, not punished. I personally think the slogan should be more along the lines of "Equal Justice for the Jena 6". I would have a pretty good argument against this slogan, too, but the other side has a much more valid argument for equal justice than setting them free. "the charges dont fit the crime" I think 22 years is way too much for this crime. I hope his sentence is a fraction of that, but I still think there should be a sentence with jail time. He's a repeat offender and a danger to his community. "if that kid was almost "killed" then he wouldnt have been out socializing later that evening" I agree. He was not beat to the point of death or anything close, but he was beaten. I've never felt he was seriously injured (based on what I know). My argument is that the sentencing should be a little more harsh because the attackers kicked him while he was unconscious without regard to whether or not he was dead or alive. "i just want the caucasions to understand how african americans are taking this in. we are looking at this like "well the white kids arent on thier way to prison, so why is the black kid" I understand your concern and I realize that in the past there has been so much injustice in our court system towards the black community. I hate this. I realize even today it still exists, though much less prominent. My whole point in this entire case is that the DA hasn't automatically proven he is a racist simply based on his harsh charges he brought against them. He told the entire school (even put an article in the paper) that he would prosecute anyone to the fullest extent of the law if they caused violence in the school system. These guys didn't stop to think about that. The DA is understandably angry that these 6 guys completely went against his warnings to the high school. They should have known what was coming. So my point is, was it racism that made the DA charge these guys so aggressively, or was it his anger over his clear warning to the entire school being ignored? If it was racism, YES, I think his license to be lawyer should be taken away. That IS a travesty. The sad thing is, racism in someone's heart is difficult to prove. I know the DA (somewhat) and he doesn't STRIKE me as a racist. So I feel that his aggressive prosecution of these 6 guys was because of their blatant disregard for his warnings. Again, we are mostly in agreement.Jena Person - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

ud be surprised with our justice system. he just might get the max. and if he does then he'll be in jail until he's fourty for a high school fight. usually the process for juveniles that are in a fight is that they get tried like juveniles, serve their time in juvy, get counseling, community service, etc. but prison?! thats crazy!!! i just want the caucasions to understand how african americans are taking this in. we are looking at this like "well the white kids arent on thier way to prison, so why is the black kid"? another thing: maybe the black student that got beat up at that party didnt go to the hospital/doctor because of $$. from what i understand, most of the blacks in jena dont live in the "nice part". was Justin Barker whisked away by school administrators to the emergency room?? it would make sense. for all we know, the black kid couldve been limping home with a black eye but just couldnt afford the medical help. i dunno, just putting that out there.Chanelle - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

ur right, the media does play into a lot of this. but nobody is saying that the boys shouldnt be punished at all. we're simply saying that its ironic that the black kids who fought someone are getting charged as adults, with felonies, with miniumum sentences of 22 years...while the white kids that were in fights got charged with simple battery. i dont care if it was six on one, or one on one, the charges dont fit the crime. if that kid was almost "killed" then he wouldnt have been out socializing later that evening. he would have been in the hospital, with an IV in his arm. but ur right, the media does add fuel to the fire. but regardless, its hard not to say that race isnt a part of this situation.chanelle - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

Chanelle: You seem like an understanding person. I agree with alot of what you're saying. ...and about Justin Barker calling one of the black guys the "n" word. No statements that were reported to the police support that claim. That was only thrown out to the media. It's very easy to throw that word in the whole equation and convince some to sympathize with them. I agree that the POTENTIAL punishment does not fit the crime, but how often is a criminal sentenced to the max? I think Mychal Bell should spend some more time in prison. The others, I'm not sure. If they're juvenile records are as bad, I think they should. My point is, 6 people kicked on someone who was unconscious. No question was raised to whether the guy was dead or anything. They just kept kicking. And this did this in our SCHOOL system. Someone needs to clearly let them and anyone else know "We won't accept this kind of violent behavior in our school system". I don't care what race the person is.Jena Person - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

Yea any time a black person gets caught doing something it is racist. Did you know a white man killed tupac and biggy. Well guess what they didnt.

This is very racist,and as a young adult I should do something about it.Darnesha - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

the problem is that the charges/sentences dont fit the crime!!!! ok, so it was six on one. fine, that was wrong. so give them a misdemeanor. doesnt anybody understand that 22-100 years in prison for a high school fight (which was aggravated on both sides of the color line) is a little absurd?! this was a ticking time bomb, and i'm sorry but if someone is in my face callin me a nigger and laughin at me because i got MY ass whooped, i would beat the shit out of them!!! but again, thats just me. we're not saying that they shouldnt be punished, the black community is saying that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. if that boy was so badly injured then he wouldn't have been living it up a social event later on that night. to try SIX KIDS as adults is ridiculous, try them as juveniles that got carried away. remember it was said that the nooses "were a harmless prank", well the fight was a "high school fight", so lets stop trying to "ruin lives with the stroke of a pen". and to all of the ignorant people leaving racist comments on this blog: get a life. nobody is disrespecting caucasions so dont disrespect the black race. stop trying to say that we are not articulate, stop saying that we all need to go back to africa, stop saying that when we move into a city the quality of life goes down. STOP!!! you're being ignorant and rude. you saying those hurtful things just reaffirms the fact that racism exists, so you're really not proving any type of point except that you're disrespectful. so if you have a problem with "us" being in the USA take that up with your ancestors.chanelle - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

All white kids in the halls of Buckeye Senior High school in Deville La. just down the road from Jena. It's a thriving peacefull school to be in. It's no imaginary thing that white people are moving in flooding the area to get away from the infested streets of Alexandria. Towns like Eudora Arkansas were beautiful little "Mayberry like" towns until the racial intergration in 1972. Since that time the School was burned to the ground and unfortunately the town has all but been abandonded by the families that founded it. Colfax louisiana is a beautiful little out of the way town but it's also unfortunately a waste. When a community is infiltrated by the poverty stricken black community. It is doomed to perish. You can ignore it all you want to but the system aint gonna change for you. Change yourselves. I was at the Zoo in Memphis. I heard little black children saying "les go ova dayuh!" and "wut dis is main?" It's fundamental. These kids are at grade scchool level. 7 and 8 years old.They should know better. Is that acceptable language practice in black homes? "let's go over there!? "What is this?" How hard is that? These kids are gonna grow up to face everything their parents hate. Largly because of this. What is this? I'm certainly no english major but when I speak to others I can be taken seriously. those little kids were with there parents. I heard them speak to each other. Its NOT the system oppressing these little families. They do it to themselves. They are actively participating in their own downfall.And don't realize it! Why are decent black people descriminated against? keep teaching your children to sound like they learned to speak english from a video on BET. Yeah thats all the governments fault right? Bull. Start educating the kids so they can become productive members of the working world. The speach thing is a huge part of the problem. We're not talkin about suppressing an accent left over from a lost language.We're talking about ignorance fueling more ignorance. Black equalls stupid to racially swayed whites largely because of the "say main!" attitude. You wanna take action? Revolution? Do it in your homes. So 6 on 1 huh? Yeah.

'The black is the better athlete, and he practices to be the better athlete, and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes way back to the slave period.

Go to the main page and read my comments. I point you to an article showing that Mychal Bell had 4 violent criminal acts in his past before this one. He has broke parole 3 times. "these are not problem kids" Put up your argument, please. I'd like to hear it. You are not from Jena and can say very little about their character. These kids weren't railroaded. They were warned by an angry DA who was sick and tired of the entire school causing racial strife. The six on one BEATING followed days after his angry warning. He said he would prosecute to the fullest extent of the law the next time a violent incident occurred in the school. What did he do? Exactly what he said. The DA didn't "go after them white kids" because the ONE white kid that threw the first punch pled guilty to misdemeanor assault. It started out as ONE white guy punching ONE black guy with his 2-4 black friends around. THEN the fight turned into black on white, with several jumping in. The Jena 6 BEATING and the fight at the Fair Barn are TOTALLY different in just about every sense of the word. Go back and do your research on the issue dumbass. Don't get pissed off and make assumptions that this story on this site is completely accurate, because IT ISN'T!! Read my posting on the main page of this site. I clearly point out at least TWO points that are completely inaccurate. They are factually proven WRONG. The article said it, but factual documents say otherwise. Do your damn research.Jena Person - 08.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

To Chanelle: I don't plan on writing my own article, but I do plan on obtaining all information related to these cases that is public knowledge. I will put it on pursuingholiness.com. The owner of this blog is looking for the truth, not media bias or a reason to racially lash out at people. This is an outdated article you are reading here. That site gives you up-to-the-minute updates on the entire situation. Though me and the blog owner disagree on some things, she is willing to give both sides an opportunity.

There used to be a sign @ the big creek bridge in Deville Louisiana coming from Marksville that said : NO NIGGERS! and another one that said : Don't let the sun set on your NIGGER ass in Deville!

YEAH! Cut the tree down! Cause it's all that mean ole tree's fault! Right? Your stupid. This story is being told in lop sided fashion. As though ALL the white folks are out to get the poor victimized black people..... PLEASE! So far it looks like you're ignoring the fact that 6 kids jumped on 1 kid. Was the white kid like 20 feet tall or something? Was he a professional Cage Fighter? Why did it take SIX kids to whip his ass? Sounds more like a kid got ambushed. That's the kind of behavior most white people would expect to hear. Black people are discriminated against and judged because of the bad apples out there setting the standard. A bad standard. Not how they look but how they behave.{Content of charachter not color of skin) Being black just visually associates you with another problem. Just go hang out at the intersection of Jackson St. and Bolton Ave. in Alexandria on any random evening. It's not a dangerous part of town because of all the WHITE people selling crack and begging for money. Black peoples biggest enemy lies within it's own communities. Drive around the neighborhoods and look for yourself. Many Black kids think its wrong to speak proper English because that's selling out and being white. I have a girlfriend who gets hassled all the time for "sounding white". Sounding WHITE!? Can you believe that? How about sounding like someone who grew up and learned to speak English. Black people ARE just as capable of anything as anyone else can do. But just listen to our young black athletes stumble thru plain conversations on after-game TV interviews. It's not because they're stupid. It's because they were raised in a house where people tossed grammar and fundamental education to the wind. Do you REALLY expect that job interview to go your way when you "sound black"? It DOES affect the way black people are received in society. Want equality? Teach you children to conform to the standard we ALL are held to. Black culture is difficult for white americans to understand because "ebonics" isn't seen as something to be proud of. Mostly it jut sounds like people intentionally destroying the language, which not only annoys everyone but also further alienates people from the mainstream. Political correctness saves the day though because everyone is scared to death of these issues. Just up the road from Jena in Deville La. is an ALL white school. Buckeye Elementary an BHS K-12. And guess what! its a great school system. NO gangs. No tension. No kids running wild all over the neighborhoods raising themselves with no dads. No groups of young punks roaming the streets on bicycles at 3 in the morning. Its really nice. Head on into Alexandria to Peabody or Bolton high school in Alexandria La. hmmm. Much more Chaos. Totally different environment. Why? Hmm. I'm sure there's more to the story at Jena than the noose thing. The tasteless joke of one or two little idiots! Nobody had to ASK permission to sit under that tree. Sure all the white kids gather up together. SO WHAT?And what about that comment made by the attorney about ending lives with the stroke of a pen? Did anyone REALLY hear it that way? Sounds exaggerated and taken out of context. I'd also bet that the only people that called it the "white tree" were black students. Don't judge this situation from one biased, embellished account. No doubt the punishment may be excessive. But you really DON'T know what went down at that school or who started the fight. The black people in MY neighborhood get along great and the kids play well together with the white people. Gated community. People with CAREERS and means. Children that are taught to speak like educated people and not SNOOP DOG. Ignore it if you want. Most prejudice can be avoided by starting from the beginning with the little ones. No NIGGER. No WHITE DEVIL. No talk like that in the house. Ever.

To Chanelle: I admit when I'm wrong. I also am not here to defend every person in my town. Some of the white people involved in this incident I don't really care for. If I thought they were being fairly criticized I wouldn't say anything. Every white person I have talked to in town think the noose hangings were wrong and the students should have been expelled. Most people in Jena understand that justice is being served, including most black people in the community (it's true whether that makes sense to you or not). ...and not all white people make assumptions about you being on welfare. You don't strike me as a dumb person, just misinformed.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

To Mimi: I think it's totally pointless to try and get something through to you, but I'll try anyway.... JUSTIN BARKER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NOOSE HANGINGS!! Other than that, all I see in your article is "EVIL". It's a tragedy what happened to Emmitt Till. God will judge his attackers for their crimes. I'm extremely confident that wouldn't happen in today's age. Justice was not fair back then. ..and PLEASE click the "Post" button once. No one wants to read your article 3 times. To Chanelle: "So what if it was ONE white guy that punched ONE black guy, he STARTED a fight but he didnt get punished to the same extent that the Jena6 are being punished.Do you honestly believe that someone that gets hit in the head with a bottle isn't in pain, or can't get a concusion of some sort??" Your ideas would have merit if the situations were similar. But the police department arrested the white guy and charged him with misdemeanor assault. None of the black students pressed charges against him, nor was anyone admitted to a hospital. In fact, there was no mentioning AT ALL of a beer bottle (including in Robert Bailey's statement he made that night) UNTIL this case evolved into the monstrosity it is. No medical report, no mentioning of it in Robert Bailey's original statement. No proof that it happened. What does the DA have to act on? When the white student was beat, around 40 people made statements. Though accounts differed in some respects, most are very similar. There is a medical record to back it up. There is a witness (female black student) who puts in her statement that these black guys were planning on beating some white guy's ass that day. VERY different. I believe in equal justice, but these are far from equal crimes. "If six lives are gonna be ruined..." Six lives are VERY VERY likely not gonna be ruined. Mychal Bell is the worst out of all of them, and I strongly suspect he won't get more than 5 years. He should have thought about his life and God-given football abilities before he committed this crime and the 4 other violent acts before it. "Lets not be naive here. This is about the color of their skin, and not the severity of their crime. " Haha. Come to Jena, knock on doors in the black and white community. Ask them what they think. I live here and you don't. Your argument has little merit. You are clearly one of the people who, instead of accepting information that contradicts original claims that angered you so much, you choose to ignore them and remain angry out of sheer convenience. To accept the truth would mean to give up fighting racism, which has much less to do with this case than the media (and propagandists) has made it out to be.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

ok heres the fact: white people are never wrong....ha ha ha ha!!! that's basically what all caucasions on this blog are trying to say. you guys are always right, black people are always complaining about injustice, but you all NEVER do anything wrong. stop being naive...nooses being hung from a tree is NOT A PRANK, its BLATANT DISRESPECT. and by the way, not all of us "colored folk" that are responding to this blog are on welfare, some of us ARE educated and have jobs....chanelle - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

Jena Person- Answer this: would you be defending this case this hard if it was SIX WHITE BOYS awaiting a trial/sentence that could potentially ruin their lives for beating up a BLACK KID???? I think that you are trying to justify the actions of the white students. You said: "The white boys didn't start it by attacking and beating a white child. FIVE BLACK guys showed up to an INVITATION ONLY party and refused to leave because the girl wouldn't let them in. This party had people they had already fought with some weekends ago. They were there to start trouble. ONE white guy punched ONE black guy. Then a bunch of people from both sides jumped in. A BLACK FBI AGENT reported the situation at the Fair Barn this way. What do you have to say about THAT, huh?" So what if it was ONE white guy that punched ONE black guy, he STARTED a fight but he didnt get punished to the same extent that the Jena6 are being punished.Do you honestly believe that someone that gets hit in the head with a bottle isn't in pain, or can't get a concusion of some sort?? The problem with this situation is that the punishments were not fair across the board. Point blank. If six lives are gonna be ruined, then all participators in the events leading up to this should have the same punishment. Oh wait, I remember, all of WHITE KIDS' actions are justifiable as you have tried to claim. Lets not be naive here. This is about the color of their skin, and not the severity of their crime.chanelle - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

mimi, If you had made it past 6th grade maybe you wouldnt be so ignorannt as to believe what you have been told by the media. I promise you whatever paridise you live in, the racism there is worse than in Jena. The only thing wrong here is blacks piss and moan any time something goes wrong. if you would quit pulling that race card you would get a whole lot more respect.After reading all these post on this and other sites all I see is racism and it is black hate towards whites. Get over it, no one in living in this country bought ant slaves nor owned any slaves and none of there grandparents didnt either. So the way i see it and the way you should see it as we owe you nothing absolutely nothing. You have the chance at just as good of life as the rest of us. How would you have felt if it was your black child Mycal Bell ran over with the car he had stolen from his mother. I bet you would sing a different toon then. What if these 6 thugs were running rampant and assaulting people in your black neighborhood like they were here. i bet you would want them off your street. Think about your own neighborhood and make some changes. Quit bitchin about something you apparently know nothing about. And another thing get off your welfare ass and get a job I am tired of supporting you. You wouldnt know evil if it bit you in the ass. Take responsibility for your actions. Oh and I know I am one of them evil ones as you call them. Just consider that maaybee just maybe they are getting what they deserved.James - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

In reponse to Jena Person...can you say Emmett Till...Emmett Till died at the age of 14 years old...by the hands of EVIL people similar to the ones I talked about earlier...Jena you know the type. Emmet Till...was beaten...after his beating....he did not go to a party to celebrate...he did not hang out with his friends...he did not get up and hug his mother...why? because he was beaten to death by the hands of the EVIL type people I referred to earlier... The white person in this case was not beaten to death...he did not lose an arm...or an eye... or any other limb...he went to a party afterwards...which is a clear indication that he was doing just fine. If he was such a saint...why was he part of the noose hanging so called pranksters? This is the year.2007...and a lot of people are surprised to know that what is happening to the Jena 6 is still happening today. People are aware that Emmett Till died in 1955 at the hands of the EVIL type I referred to earlier...but what they fail to understand is...the descendents of Emmett's killers and the killers of other black people during this time are still living and still garner much hate....these people hate so much that I am sure they are not even aware that a war is going on in Iraq. Most American's including myself... are upset about the war...and yet these backwards hicks...are still living in the past. Can someone please...bring them to present day...This is the year.2007...God...please...please take the EVIL hate out of their hearts once and for all. Please helped them to have love in their hearts...and to let go of the hate that has been in their blood for centuries. The killers in the Emmet Till story were acquitted by guess who?...an all white jury...they lived several years latter...and finally died due to cancer a few years ago. Emmett Till's body was so badly mutlated by the hands of those EVIL type people I refered to earlier...that his mother wanted to have an open casket...so the entire world could see the EVIL...that took her son. These killers should have served 3000 years in jail...but as we all know... they did not serve one day. That story has always hunted me...because I saw the pictures in the magazines... of his mutalated body and this happened in a small town...silimilar to a Jena type. In which the EVIL people I referred to reside. I am sure that Emmett Till's killers had some off spring...who are alive and well and of course living in a Jena type town. I have never figured out why these people are so EVIL...they have hated for soooooo long. What makes them hate so much...for years...all they have done is hated...they preach hate...and they talk hate...Why?...Why?....what is wrong with them??? It is so much better to try to love your neighbor and not hate so much. If these EVIL type people...had an ounce of love in them for their fellow man...perhaps Emmett Till's killers would have been brought to justice for that horrendous murder. The body of Emmett Till was so badly mutlated...that his death is a part of America's history. Just put his name into google...and you will be informed about America's ugly history. America tries to hide this...but when you have a situation like the Jena 6...you can't help but to think how much of the ugliness of America's past...still exist in small towns such as Jena. If there are any people in the town of Jena...who have love in their hearts and want to do the right thing...now is the time...if you are tired of hating your neighbor..now is the time to stand up and speak out against this injustice. There has been so many injustices done to black people at the hands of the EVIL type white people I referred to earlier. Please let go of the hate...no one is saying that if a crime was committed then no one should serve time...all we are saying is the punishment should fit the crime. A horrendous crime was done to Emmett Till...and yet you would think his killers would have been sentenced to hundreds of years...they did not spend one day in jail...not one day. In the Jena 6 case...they claim this so called law was on the books several years ago...where in the Hell was the law in the Emmett Till case? The Jena 6 case is based on the EVIL people's law... I will be praying for the town of Jena 6...to let go of the hate that consumes them. It is so much better to have love in your heart...not only for yourself...but for your fellow neighbor. When you handle problems and disputes with love at the heart of the issue as oppose to hate...you not only feel better...but you actually look better. I have seen people of the EVIL type....and they always seem to have many wrinkles...crows feet...age spots and just really look horrific...because they are infested with so much hate. People who believe in helping other people and loving other people...seem to have a glow about them. It takes a lot less effort to smile than to frown. To the people of the town of Jena...now is your time to release the hate...let it go....just let it go. Haven't we learned enough from Emmett Till...and the thousands of black men who were lynched in small towns such as Jena? The lynching of black men years ago...is a part of America's ugly history...and apparently the white boy...who was beat up in this case was very familiar with the history of the lynching...if not.... he would not and the others would not have hung noose's on that tree. Let the hate go...people of Jena...please let the hate go...you will live a lot longer and look a lot better if you fill your hearts with love as oppposed to hate. And final message to Jena Person... I know the truth hurts...your response proves that.Mimi - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

To Samantha: They are not getting 100 years are anything remotely close. The first attacker, who was convicted (Mychal Bell), was the ringleader and had the worst criminal record in his past. He is looking at a MAX of 22 years. He'll almost certainly get a fraction of this.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

i have to admit this is the first time I am hearing about this story. I have been concentrating so hard on my family in Louisiana (I will not relieve their town due to fear of retailation - note I did not say city, because it's not - it's just as rural as Jena - if not more). My grandmother is 83 years old and is a survivor of Katrina. She has seen many plights and shocking incidents in her time. As I was growing up and visiting many times over the year's, her little town has changed, but not much, I know someone mentioned in an earlier comment about separate proms for blacks and whites - well I am here to tell you this is TRUE - among other unbelievable stories. Yes, this is still going on. Some children have broken the infamous code of conduct mixing and mingling with other races - blacks, Hispanics, etc. and they are dealt with in whatever accord at the time. It's scary and alarming. My male cousins do not travel alone. When I say travel - I mean go anywhere without each other - more than two always - the more the safer and better. My female cousins are the same way. Both live in fear of retaliation, rape and chastising from whites. just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. When I visit I have been coached and told not to say much and that they will get whatever I need because they never want any trouble (my family members). Comments are normally fueled with racism and sarcasm, i.e., you must not be from around these here parts. And you sound funny - where are you from. Oh you're a yankee, huh?! Stay down here enough we'll teach you how to walk and talk. I have been called girl and lil n* as well. Nothing was more alarming or demoralizing than being in a store and a young white cashier talking very derogatory and demeaning to my grandmother - my grandmother was probably in her 60's then. And I was appalled and shocked! I wanted to come across the counter at the girl and retaliate, but my cousin kept telling me to be quiet. So what I really want to say is I am fully aware of the good ole south and the system. racism is alive and well and breeds in the south. The old blood is still there making sure that it does. Black voters being afraid to vote and given the incorrect information dates, locations or being chastised on their jobs if they attempt to do so. Black senior citizen/home bound are not being given the opportunity to cast absentee ballots. How else can a klux klan member become an elected official? The state of Louisiana is still has not received the assistance or funding that it deserves to rebuild and this week is the 2nd anniversary of Katrina. Segregated schools and school functions? Teachers of jena telling the out on bond students, that if they come back to school they will not teach them or anyone - is this a staged protest or walk out? Personally, I have two cousins that were murdered and to this day nothing has been done to solve or reopen the cases. One case was reopened about 20 years ago and was shown on the nightly news and it caused such an uproar in that little town - people were all talking amongst themselves but no still would come forward and tell the truth. They would rather go to their graves with blood on their hands. In closing, I am praying for all of us in overcoming this horrible injustice and acts. There is no place for it. The town of jena needs prayer and miracle of peace to come over this troubled State and state of mind. lifting up the name of jesus!

Can somebody please explain to me for one why they are facin 100 yrs in prison for a fist fight and two why is they labeling stuff "whites only"?????? What year are we in again??? It was a dame tree!

I send many many prayers out.Samantha - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

We breath the same air,walk up and down the same roads. Why can't we live as one. When you die where are you going different than me? Back in the day it was alright for people of different color to service you come in your home where you had to breath in the air they breath out, cook your food,wash your clothes and take care of your children. It was not a problem and you did suffer any lost.When men go to war your color die just like mine.How do you dare to be so different except when it come skin color.Rena Riggins - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

PLEASE READ UP EVERYONE: Do you want to know the truth, or do you want to just get pissed off and mad at an entire town because the media is misinforming you? What I am putting below is some clarifications about information included in this article. "beneath a "whites only" shade tree. There was an unwritten rule that blacks couldn't sit beneath the tree" This was NEVER a "whites only" tree. This is completely false. Just because white students TYPICALLY hung out there didn't meant it was implied that black students were not welcome. In fact when I was in school, this is where many black & white students met to hang out. These 3 boys who hung the noose made a stupid, racially insensitive mistake and they should have been expelled. Most of the white people in Jena feel this way. The nooses don't make this the "white tree", though. "The school administration chalked it up as a harmless prank, but Jena's black population didn't take it so lightly." The school administration INCLUDES the principal. The principal recommended expulsion but it was overturned by the superintendent. "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." Another statement that is COMPLETELY false. The District Attorney was at an assembly and warned THE ENTIRE SCHOOL this. Not just the black students. He even put a posting in the local newspaper warning them. "Black students were assaulted at white parties." ONE black student was assaulted by ONE white guy. Then several jumped in on both sides later. The white guy was charged with misdemeanor assault and pled guilty. "This is the "Gotta Go" in Jena, Louisiana. On December 2nd, 2006, one of the fights that followed the noose incident (and the burning of Jena High School) was here. Three black teens were in the store, including two of the Jena Six, and when they left, they were confronted by a white man with a loaded shotgun. The teens wrestled the gun from him and fled. The gun was later found in a car in the backyard of one of the Jena Six. " Statements are conflicting on this issue, but the TWO eye witnesses who made statements said that the white guy walked out of the truck and was walking towards the store entrance and three black guys said "We got action". So the white guy ran to his truck to get his gun (it wasn't loaded) and they wrestled it from him, punched him, and took off running with the gun. Sounds very different now doesn't it? This story only tells the the black students' account of the incident, while I am speaking of eye witness accounts. "After today, we'll know whether or not the case will be tried in front of an all-white jury" SEVERAL members of the black community were assigned to jury duty FOR THIS CASE, but none showed up. This is factually documented. And yes, this is totally legal according to a lawyer that was at the civil rights meeting held last week with Al Sharpton. What would have happened if JUST ONE was selected for jury duty? "Keep in mind that when one of Mychal Bell's friends (one of the Jena Six still facing trial) had his head cracked open with a beer bottle at an all-white party a few nights before the school fight on Dec. 4th, his assailant received a "simple battery" charge. " At the Fair Barn incident (in question here), NO hospital visit was made and no black student pressed charges. The one who claims to have been hit with a beer bottle only reported this after the media frenzy several months AFTER it happened. No word was spoken about a beer bottle until then. How can the DA prosecute someone without a medical report or anyone on the other side pressing charges? "Theodore Shaw's son has been in prison for the last six months awaiting trial " He has since been released. Another up - Mychal Bell's plead for bail was denied by the judge. He cited four violent criminal acts as the reason, and felt he was a threat to the community. So all of you who care about the truth, here it is. For all of you who want to remain angry and pissed off, you are allowed to feel that way. You're in a free country. But using your emotions instead of your intelligence doesn't make you look very good. Most of the information I have given you is backed up by FBI investigators and factual documents that can be retrieved from the Lasalle Parish courthouse. I'm not just trying to protect my town. If I were an outsider looking into this situation, I would be horrified and angry like you. It's sad how horrible the facts were twisted in this story. For all of you who angrily bark out all white people in Jena. Get ready, because I am here to call you on everything you say from hear on out. Get your facts straight and speak with intelligence, not emotions.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

This is in response to Larry D. Jones. #1, we can read your posting once. There is no need to post it twice. "this is worst case of Injustice I have ever seen just because a white boy got his ass kicked now these Crackers want to throw 6 Black Children in Prison over a school fight when the white boys started it by attacking and beating a Black Child and when they retaliated by kicking the Cracker boys ass they get charged with attempted murder" First of all, I'm very sure that isn't just once sentence. Second of all, GOT HIS ASS KICKED? What if you walked past a bunch of people and one PUNCHED you in the BACK of the HEAD and knocked you unconscious, then you were beating by 6 of them? You call this getting your ass beat? You call this a school "fight"? No, this is a PUSSYFIED way of fighting, and I call it a school BEATING. What if they would have fought one on one? OH yeah, I forgot, that would have been an even match. THAT can't happen. The white boys didn't start it by attacking and beating a white child. FIVE BLACK guys showed up to an INVITATION ONLY party and refused to leave because the girl wouldn't let them in. This party had people they had already fought with some weekends ago. They were there to start trouble. ONE white guy punched ONE black guy. Then a bunch of people from both sides jumped in. A BLACK FBI AGENT reported the situation at the Fair Barn this way. What do you have to say about THAT, huh? "what do expect from Criminals " I expect them to sucker punch someone, and gang up on them while they lay unconscious and proceed to beat them. You keep saying the word cracker. What's funny is, you hear no one in hear say the "n" word, including me. Sounds like we all know who the racist is. "Jesus himself to come back and reclaim his kingdom and pass judgement on these crackers for all the Evil and Injustice heaped out on the world and the crimes they committed" HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH Bring Jesus into it. Funny. "free the Jena 6" The Jena 6 are all freed on bail, with the exception of Mychal Bell, who was denied parole last week. The judge cited four violent criminal acts in his past as the reason (speaking of evil). So the statement "Free the Jena 6" is inaccurate. They'll have their day in court. I hope and pray justice is served and the judge shows them you can't BEAT someone in our Louisiana school system.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

In response to Mimi's post: Why are we so evil? Because the media has twisted facts beyond all recognition. The DA told the ENTIRE SCHOOL at a SCHOOL ASSEMBLY that he wouldn't take any racially charged violence in the school system. This is when he said he could take their lives away at the stroke of a pen, and it was told to the ENTIRE SCHOOL, not just the black students. This report is COMPLETELY erroneous, as are others. "...such a disgrace to the entire human race..." Yeah, one guy sucker punches a guy after he walks past him. The boy hits concrete and is rendered unconscious. Five other boys (along with the one who sucker punched) step and and start beating this man while he is unconscious. Meanwhile several of his friends are holding DOORS to prevent teachers from breaking up the fight. If you think this is not a disgrace to the human race, AND the black community, you have some serious issues to work through....RACE issues. "Lord deliver us from these EVIL people!!..." Would the Lord want 6 guys to beat one guy while he's unconscious just because some of his buddies made a stupid mistake that should have been punished more? Don't bring God into this, because I am very sure I know which side he is on. "What I don't understand...if they think they are so much better than the black people there...why don't they just leave them the hell alone" The black community here is NOT left alone. MOST people in the white and black community here have friendships that cross the race boundary. No one thinks ANYONE is better than anybody. It's about justice, not race. Do you have the intelligence to see this? "And just think...there are a lot of people who are uneducated, illiterate and brain washable who actually think that the reason so many black men are in jail or prison is because they actually commited a crime!..." Six people BEATING one in a high school is not a crime? "...and only an uneducated, illiterate, brain washed racist individual would not know otherwise" Oh, so if anyone is on the other side of the argument they are uneducated and illiterate. That sounds very logical. "Of couse you people in Jena wouldn't dream of putting one of your fine devil in the making white boys in jail..." It's strange how, in the Fair Barn incident, a WHITE BOY was arrested and he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault. That theory is out the window. "... what is it about the black man...that the white man fears so much" What YOU are doing RIGHT NOW is what the white man fears. As much as I feel for minorities in this country, YOU are the reason white man fears you. Because YOU do not want justice to prevail. You want to let these kids go DESPITE their crimes JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. You don't think that angers other races when you do that? You do the crime, you do the time. "Are you trying to tell me that the white men in Jena who are behind this are decent law abiding people..and when they see a black man...they just change into an EVIL DEVIL so quickly.." Despite what YOU have heard about the biased media, it's not ABOUT turning into someone else and treating the black community unfairly. It's about even justice! I know many highly intelligent black individuals, but you are certainly at the bottom rung. You say things over and over and have a very poor argument, just complaing twenty or 30 times about "Why does the white man hate the black man?" HATE? SIX BLACK GUYS GANGED UP ON ONE AND BEAT HIM UNTIL HIS EARS BLEEDED!!! YOU DON'T CALL THAT HATE? If I were black, I'd be embarassed that you were part of my race. You shouldn't say anymore, as you are a poor representative to the black community. Please try showing up to Jena on September 20th. I'm sure you'll get lost and end up in Guatemala or something. Then you'll be somewhere that you can't shame your own race.Jena Person - 08.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

Why are those white people in Jena so EVIL?...My God!!!...the white DA said he could take away their lives with the stroke of a pen over a fight!...O my God!!!...they are so E V I L...I know there is a reason I hated going pass those small southern towns...they are filled with those EVIL people...Such cowardly hateful people...I have heard stories about how EVIL those kind of white people are...such a disgrace to the entire human race...just a real disgrace to mankind...Lord deliver us from these EVIL people!!...I can just picture their eyes glowing in red under their white sheeted hoods...they are truly the EVIL walking amongst us. What I don't understand...if they think they are so much better than the black people there...why don't they just leave them the hell alone...I think and know I am better than they will ever be...that's why I would never want to have anything to do with them...the site of their kind makes me want to puke. They are trying to hold on to their positions in that small EVIL town. They are only proving to the world that they are EVIL people...they are not GOD like...those people are straight DEVILS in the flesh...very EVIL people. There are going to be a number of protests in Jena for those fine black young men...and I would like to attend...but the pure site of those kind of EVIL people is just too much...I don't want to look at them...just too much EVIL...toooo much EVIL. And just think...there are a lot of people who are uneducated, illiterate and brain washable who actually think that the reason so many black men are in jail or prison is because they actually commited a crime!...Well thanks to the town of Jena...you people...are only proving what the majority of us already knew...that the majority of the black men in prison or jail...are in there because of a stroke of a pen...Now that's what I called EVIL at it's best. Thanks Jena...for showing the world that my black sisters and brothers are in jail only from the sroke of a pen...I knew it all along...and only an uneducated, illiterate, brain washed racist individual would not know otherwise. Of couse you people in Jena wouldn't dream of putting one of your fine devil in the making white boys in jail...you can't do that...if there is a crime...I guess your motto is "It was the black guy? There is no real crime commited here...sure there was a fight...people fight all of the time...the so called white villian went to a party that same night...which is a clear indication that he was not seriously injured. What I would really like to know is... what is it about the black man...that the white man fears so much?....Why has the white man dedicated his entire life and I do mean his entire life... to trying to find ways to bring down the black man...We all know that the black man is physically stronger than the white man...and there are a number of other differences that we all know about...but what is it really... about the black man...that makes the white man...turn to such EVIL ways?...Are you trying to tell me that the white men in Jena who are behind this are decent law abiding people..and when they see a black man...they just change into an EVIL DEVIL so quickly...Is that the power that black men have over white men?...they can just walk right by them and change a good law abiding decent white man into an EVIL man? I don't get it!...For years...the white man has had a jealousy and a genuine fear of the black man. But why? The white man has always been in the position of power... and has always made the decision with the stroke of a pen...to take away the life of the black man...WHY? What is it about the black man that has the white man so fearful...that he would continue to do the things to black men such as the Jena 6? Why has the white man for hundreds of years continued to dedicate his entire life to bringing down the black man...by any means necessary?...WHY? If you are better than someone else...truly better than someone else...why would you have to resort to such EVIL tactics to bring another person down? Wouldn't that person fall on his own...without your help?...Why has the white man spent his entire life trying to bring the black man down?...If the black man is going to fall...he is man enough to do it own his own!...why do you Jena type white men have to pull him down...with the stroke of your pen?...Oh...I know!!...I just figured it out...you want the world to know...just how incredibly EVIL you really are. Well I guess if you want us all to know just how EVIL you can be...I say you are doing one HELL of a good job!Mimi - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

This tells me that in.2007 racism is Alive and well this is worst case of Injustice I have ever seen just because a white boy got his ass kicked now these Crackers want to throw 6 Black Children in Prison over a school fight when the white boys started it by attacking and beating a Black Child and when they retaliated by kicking the Cracker boys ass they get charged with attempted murder! what kind of Backward ass justice is that? no Justice at all ! except just us! and as long as a white man is breathing any where in AmeriKKKa you will never see any justice not for us [Black men] anyway and what do expect from Criminals anyway because this country was founded by Criminals and the Descendents of these Criminals are still running this so called home of the brave land of the free! with for Us [Black people] is the land of Death and Destruction look at Katrina! these people mean you no justice at all as long as RACISM exists and that will be as long as a white man is breathing anywhere on this Planet! we as Black people need to stop being afraid of these Crackers and make our own civilization because the 1 we are living in now is filled with nothing but filth,immorality,heathenism,Racism and Death and we need to seperate ourselves from this madness* but fear not for it will take Jesus himself to come back and reclaim his kingdom and pass judgement on these crackers for all the Evil and Injustice heaped out on the world and the crimes they committed and will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire! and Hell want be big enough for them! and then the world would be a better place and peaceful too so we need to free our selves from the children of Satan* and free the Jena 6! and seek justice for ourselves because the whiteman is not Invincible and he can be overthrown!Larry D.Jones Sr - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

This is for you nameThe More I Think About Jena: YOU my friend, are a freakin idiot. Jason Hatcher, a black man born and raised in Jena, plays for the Dallas Cowboys as we speak. The town is proud of him, not just the black community. He probably has more WHITE friends in town than he does BLACK. James will you bitch slap this guy for me?Jena Person - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

This is in response to "Good Stuff". I am from Jena and I have posted alot of information about these events on Pursuing Holiness. Just go to Google and type in Jena 6 and read the article titled "Jena 6 Update", then read all of the postings (it's long). There are also other postings by a man named "James Black" in some of the other Jena 6 articles on that site. He's from Jena. This site should be the 2nd or 3rd link every time in Google. I look to pull up alot of other information (eye witness accounts and such) and post on this site. I'm way too overwhelmed in this room to respond to all of the sorry people in here who react with their emotions and not their intelligence. James is right, the media has twisted facts and ignored several key points to all of these stories and it stirs up anger. I've always heard about how the media bias is, but until you actually experience first hand it's very hard. Free the Jena 6? They are already freed on bail. JUSTICE FOR JENA 1!!!!!! JUSTICE FOR JENA 1!!!!! ANYONE who is mercilessly BEATEN by 6 others deserves justice. That's just me, though.Jena Person - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

Wow, this story is a puzzle to me. Information must be missing. Are we truly hearing the whole truth about both sides? I just can not believe that so many people are involved in this and yet, there appears to be so much inconsistancy. I really hope that when the truth is revealed about what happened, it will be ---------------. It's just awful when a story like this breaks and outrages so many. What's worse is when it is drawn out and fades away without resolution. I hope that everyone involved receives the justice that they deserve.the good stuff - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

having read the story and watched the video,,there are always 2 sides to the story. There should be some kind of punishment to the black boys who jumped the white boy,,I dont know if attempted murder is the charge that should be brought forth althought that seems kind of tough in my eyes. It sounds like the whole town needs a culture checknoname - 08.27.2007 - on whileseated.org

FOr all of you on here who believe this bulshit. You know none of the facts. I dont care if you are black ,white , green or purple. I have never seen such racism and hate as I see on here. Very few of the comments on here are from people from Jena. All this racism is form people all over the country. This is the way it is in Jena all the hype is from the media everyone gets along here. Why do you thiknk out of 300 protesters only six were from Jena. You think most of the black community may be glad these thugs are off the streets. You wouldnt know from all the other hate mongers stirring up shit. All of you bitch about what you think is going on in Jena but really you are crying about what you think is going on where you live. Most whites dont teach their children to hate, but blacks teach their children to believe they are going to be hated and mistreated. You all know this is true. One black person can walk through a crowd of hundreds of whites and nothing would be said and he wouldnt be bothered. Turn that around I would bet good money if 1 white walked through and bunch of blacks that he would be assaulted in one way or another.Like it or not justice will prvail here every thing will be by the book. No matter how many people come and piss and moan it will change nothing. All I can see is this making it worse for those six. Maybe you should think about that. On the other hand how about this solution. Why dont we bring all six of the out one at a time. We will let one person hit them in the back of the head and knock them unconscious, next five of his buddys will stomp and kick them for a couple of minutes. If he dies oh well, if he is permanently injured thats ok to. If he walks away good for them. Then we can forget it all.James - 08.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

All the support of our people is great yet, it is important to think & attack the many public defenders/commissioners/attorney etc., all things in the purse strings(example: Mexicans marched and did not go to the owners job). We must research the statistics of the teens school and surrounding schools of the many reports of assualts and how they were handled to represent our case. We must speak with authority/intelligence/facts/stats. We the NAACP( 2B effective) must sue the proper authority and have lobbist for black rights & representation in all things within the white house.Shandra Ball - 08.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

This is very sad. The justice system say fair trail but it was no black people on the jury to see how being this race made you feel in that case.If all this happen because some black people wanted to sit under a tree that shows the world haven't changed at all.I'm a student in high school and i know if a hate crime like hanging a noose on a tree was commited the school would expel these people and they would probaby get charges pressed against them for doing this hate crime.Also if the school would have settle this thing the right way no one would probaby be on trail and getsentenced 20 yrs. for someting that was a fight because the school didn't take the proper actions.shlylay - 08.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

This saddens me and I'm pretty sure that this saddens many Americans of all race, not just the African American community. For something like this to get out of hand, this embarrasses America. America can't even deal with racial injustice and goes around telling other nations how to conduct their behavior. Tell me, what is the real reason for infiltrating Iraq. Is it fear? If it is, then our behavior as a country is despicable and speaks well about what our nation is truly about. I do not believe that the incidents should have gone this far and if the school administration was incompetent then this would have never happened. It should have ended in the school. Treat others as you would want to be treated. For those who criticize the African American community, it needs to stop. You allow the media to educate you on the African American culture. The media tells lies and emphasis on the negative aspect only. The media does not go into details. It is up to all Americans to read between the lines. America is being robbed right now by the scummy, greedy and selfish behaviors of their own kind (caucasians). When Caucasians complain about the behaviors of African Americans, shouldn't the caucasians take a step back and realize that the behaviors your complaining about was taught to African American by caucasians. The Africans that were bought here by slave trade, were stripped of their culture, native tongue and traditions (family unit). So to go around and say that its typical for African Americans to be homosexual, rapist, oversexed females is overrated. The media allows you to generalize the behavior of the few and identify that behavior against the entire cultural group. I hope and pray that important leaders in America are intervening in such childish behavior in Jena, USA.Hotn - 08.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

This truly is travesty to think this kind of racism still happens at this day and age. But honestly we black people know whats going on. If those guys were white they would have been suspended for a week. To all you white supremist and self- hating black folk. Thank you for taking the time to post all your racist hate speech, it really just solidifies what we have been saying all along. I really enjoy how you all end your post with some kind of witty line "Hitler got the color wrong" "We brought you over here in boats you should be grateful". We all know you cowards wouldn't dare say such things openly for fear of an ass kicking. I especially like your usage of black stereotypes lets see "black people are uneducated" "Black people are all criminals" "Rap music is ruining the world". And of course " black people are always complaining". That last one is a real doozy, I mean why can't we just be complacent and let the white people bully us around like they use too. After all they are the superior ones. I mean the country would be a much better place if they were in charge right, oh wait they are and its an racist hypocritical montrosity. What exactly do white people have against black people again, let me see you enslaved and discriminated against use for over 400 years. And then you have the nerve to get mad at us because you think were trying to make you feel guilty. Bad black people, how dare we make white people feel guilty. And just what the hell is wrong with speaking ebonics, I mean its not like you don't get the gist of it. I mean speaking a certain way automatially makes you inferior, what happened to being judged by the content of your character. Anyway great article. My prayers go out to those kids.Mr. Sarcastic - 08.25.2007 - on whileseated.org

Alright alright, 6 on 1, sure, that is a travesty. It's definitely a crime, what these six kids did. But let me tell you something more. I'm white, and I live in New York City... In my town, if you hang a fucking noose on a 'whites only' tree... Hell, even the white kids here will want to kick your ass. If somebody treated a friend of mine like that, yeah, I'd want to jump the kid too. We've got fights on our streets all the time. In clubs, in bars, on the street, in schools, you name it. Kids get jumped. Shit happens. Nobody gets 100 years in prison for it here in the city, though. Of course the six should be tried and found guilty. Guilty of attempted murder, though? Get your head out of your asshole. They are guilty of being rightfully pissed off at what was an APPALLING act, and they are guilty of going way too far with their revenge. I don't give a damn where you're from, that kind of 'justice' shouldn't be toleratedGabriel 'Kung Fu' - 08.25.2007 - on whileseated.org

This comment is directed to truth said. You need to check yourself seriously. Why in the hell would anyone hang nooses from a tree to pump up anyone. That is still a racist gesture whether it's directed toward blacks or whites. You would not be making those comments if a feww black students had came to school and wrote white trash all over the lockers. your comments is nothing but bullshit. When kids get into a fight at school or anywhere else you send them home on suspension and move on from there. You want everything being said to be considered a lie because in reality it makes the people in your town look like shit. and that's the REAL TRUTH SAID. GET AT ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Davina Kirkman - 08.25.2007 - on whileseated.org

This page is nothing but lies. The only people who believe this are from outside of Jena. Whoever created this page has twisted the truth and based everything around a fictional story of racism. Those of us from Jena know the truth. I only hope that eventually everyone will get their facts straight and drop this matter. Yes I admit they may be over-punishing these 6 youths but here is a fact no one is publishing. Michael Bell was offered a plea bargain that would have allowed him to be back in school and playing the sport he loves by September. However his parents told him to turn it down and now he is facing 20 plus years in prison. Try typing that in your papers. Also, to address the matter of the nooses. Every year before certain football games we hang nooses in the tree to pump up the school to defeat the other team. This was not directed at any racial differences. Consequently, the school was burned down due to arsen, well what makes anyone believe that we would burn down our only high school due to racism. Now if anyone can disprove these facts, I welcome them to try.The Truth - 08.25.2007 - on whileseated.org

As much as we as people want to believe that racism is a thing of the past it isnt. Everyday our black people are faced with the same hurt and disrespect from the whites.. And no matter how much we want to believe that one day it will all come to an end; it won't because racist white parents are teaching their children to hate us all because we are black. I will continue to keep the Jena six in my prayers.peace.MsRho - 08.25.2007 - on whileseated.org

What I don't understand is how it is the year.2007 and not the 40's any more but yet there is still such hatred between our races (black & white) times have changed so much but yet we still manage to hate each other thats why I have moved away from the south but if we as a people continue to educate ourselves that is the key to imppowerment luv to all even those who don't luv meJB - 08.24.2007 - on whileseated.org

I do feel this charge/conviction was racially motivated, but at the end of the day the major issue is the seriousness of the punishment. True enough any attacker needs to be punished to some extent, but how can you hold a a harsher punishment for a yard fight than for a school massacre? (I mean seriously think about it) I'm not speaking on race, I'm speaking on equality of justice and Jena obviously has no idea what that really is.

I Think I'm beginning to understand the white leaders of jena motives. These kids were football player, just the thought of one of them going pro was intimidating. Think about how much they get paid.With a town of about 1000 blacks that would create wealth among them. The blacks are probably low income now and that would destroy the white folks control.

That, District Attorney J.Walter Reed needs to be ousted. He is living in the past. Jena needs to wake up. And, get this racsist out of his office. These are children facing 22 years for a school yard fight. I cannot believe the federal government or at the very least the Gov. of LA is allowing this foolishness to continue. A three day suspension should have been these kids punishment. This is an outrage. And, those BOYS who hung those nooses need to be given 22 years. And, felons put on on their records because they could never be productive citizens outside of Jena with that kinda thinking. These are some back woods folks down there.

If these six would learn to fight their own battles, they wouldn't be in trouble. When a gang of thugs attack an individual, they should receive the maximum sentence. There is no excuse for 6 people to attack ONE! Also, if the trouble maker wouldn't have been at a white party, he wouldn't have got accidently hit with a beer bottle.

I can almost appreciate the comment made by Bob.Understand this the problem with racism is those like your self who refuse to think outside of your box. Those boys were sent home with suspensions and no true knowledge of what they did.Take a hard core look at history and know that putting a nuse on a tree is equivalent to saying I am going to kill you. In essence charges should be brought up on charges of ingnorance and stupidity. As for we as black people thinking someone owes us something, you do, RESPECT. The knowledge of you knowing whats right and wrong. Maybe a punishment is in order but should it be this harsh and if you believe so, then maybe you should check you racism status. Any true unbiased american black, white,etc.would see the true severity of what's happening and be sick to your stomache.Ponder this how is this tree known as the white's tree although not written and these children had to ask to sit there. Go Figure. And racism isn't alive.Racism has been alive in soft undertones for years. Hear this people the racism overtones are loud it's up to us to make them clear. In closing no all blacks do not think all whites are racist. we just need you to understand that being naive is worse.tamara - 08.20.2007 - on whileseated.org

Although, I am a animal lover I think these boys life should be more important than worrying about Mike Vick fighting dogs.

I can apprecite the comment and racial bridging of many white Americans but the fact remains that racism still exists in this country and it is a shame that many non-minorities do not recognize the atrocities dealt to African Americans in the 1800's , 1900's and even in this century. Sure our society may not be segregated bluntly but in the anals of human minds lies an inherited hatred toward particular groups of people and from those minds arise decisions, decisions that affect the lives, status, and freedoms of minority groups, particularly African Americans. African Americans were the only group that were most recently deprived of these preceding issues and the after effects are still felt. We were dealt an unfair hand and for the most part we are forced to rely on civil rights laws (many of which are ineffective) to try to secure a fair hand. The fact of this entire matter is that many people view color as a tool to use against an individual. An evil eye as our LORD would call it!Wil II - 08.20.2007 - on whileseated.org

Its amazing how this type of situation is still going on in the south. I can not believe in.2007 we still have things labeled as white only and what further upsets me is that permission had to asked to sit under the tree. First of all if that tree was considered white only in a place where things are supposed to be equal then the tree should have been taken down a long long time ago. Its a shame that these young men who do not have a criminal back ground are being treated like animals. These are high schoolers!!. These men and women at Jena better wake up cause this right here is just the begining, if ya'll (us) let this slide then its only gonna get worse. I just wanna know is the DA trying to make an example out these young kids? And how and why on earth will they let these kids faith be held in the hands of an all white jury. Its obvious what the outcome was going to be. This is crazy, I thought we left all this craziness behind us and moved on apparenly not. What happened to you get in trouble in school u get suspended now there offering life for fights. I just hope that the next time a white student gets in to a fight the same actions will be taken. It seems that the people of jena (whites) are trying to keep this under wraps, i'm saying it right now this needs to be addressed. To take away the freedom of young black men in such a stupid crime is horrible. But in the end everyone will get what they deserve i keep the 6 thats on trial and there families in my prayers. And to the ignorant people who feel that this justice just think what if it was one of ur family memebers. Its messed up cause if this would have been 6 whites there wouldn't have even been no trial.dymond - 08.14.2007 - on whileseated.org

Oops! Sorry about the typos and bad grammar above. Typed in a hurry!Corrected version: Stupidity is when you decide someone is good or bad depending on their race. As far as I am concerned, there are good people and bad people. Black people commit atrocities, white people commit atrocities, asian people commit atrociteis. It's not about being black or white ... evil people are evil people. If you beat someone up, it's wrong whether you are black or white. This debate should really be about how you view people who commit crimes. America seems to have two classes of criminal. The white murderer, the black murderer, the white thief, the black thief, the white rapist, the black rapist etc. 'ergo' (and that's Latin for all you under-educated American's white and black - especially the person who dared to criticise the speech of poor black children when poor white children have equally bad speech) whoever engages in a "white is better than black" and vice versa debate is STUPID. Fundamentally, we're all part of a continuous spectrum. You'll find a black person who has a very high IQ and level of education and you'll find a white person who doesn't. THE REAL DEBATE IS THAT FOR A VICTIM, IS IT BETTER TO BE RAPED, KILLED, ASSAULTED BY A WHITE PERSON OR A BLACK PERSON? AND IS THE CRIMINAL ANY LESS OF A **** IF HE IS WHITE OR IF HE COMMITS A CRIME AGAINST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING BECAUSE OF A FEW EXTRA MELANOCYTES ? (darker skin!) How dark does the skin have to be.? If the person has a very dark tan but is racially white, does that mean the white criminal can hit him a little harder? What about mixed races? If a white person kills someone of mixed race do they get half a sentence? You guys shouldn't be debating the black/white issue. You should be debating the STUPIDITY issue.

The white murderer, the black murderer, the white thief, the black thief, the white rapist, the black rapist etc. 'ergo' (and that's Latin for all you under-educated American's white and black American's especially the person who dared to criticise the speech of poor black children when poor white children have equally bad speech) whoever engages is a white is better than black and vice versa debate is STUPID. Fundamentally, we're all part of a continuous spectrum. You'll find a black person who has a very high IQ and level of education and you'll find a white person who doesn't. THE REAL DEBATE IS THAT FOR A VICTIM, IS IT BETTER TO BE RAPED, KILLED, ASSAULTED BY A WHITE PERSON OR A BLACK PERSON? AND IS THE CRIMINAL ANY LESS OF A **** IF HE IS WHITE OR IF HE COMMITS A CRIME AGAINST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING BECAUSE OF A FEW EXTRA MELANOCYTES ? (darker skin!) How dark does the skin have to be.? If the person has a very dark tan but is racially white, doesn that mean the white criminal can hit him a little harder? What about mixed races? If a white person kills someone of mixed race do they get half a sentence? You guys shouldn't be debating the black/white issue. You should be debating the STUPIDITY issue.

Thank you for your very informative information on the Jena 6. After learning of the Jena 6 through an editorial in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Amy Goodman, my husband and I e-mailed both Governor Blanco and Governor Gregoire (Washington). It boggles the mind that this could happen in the 21st Century. I look forward to updates on your site. Thank you. Marilyn MearsnameMarilyn - 08.12.2007 - on whileseated.org

An Open Letter To The Jena Six By Joseph Young I keep thinking about you. I also think about the other young men who have fallen prey to racial hatred. Its existence, more than a century after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, makes me fearful for your life, your safety. The freedom that it promised was tenuous. It was not entirely without strength. In the proclamation, issued three years into the Civil War, Lincoln declared, at the urging of Frederick Douglass, that the former slaves would be accepted into the Union Army and navy, making the liberated the liberator. By the war's end, almost 200,000 black servicemen had fought for freedom and saved the Union. Your generation, like mine, is being denied this freedom our ancestors risked life and limb, so that we may live as free men and women. You can call them heroes, but they were not thinking of themselves when they displayed courage and self-sacrifice on the battlefields of America. Today, then, to guard against the impending doom of American civilization, is not only opposition to racism, but also the determination to secure the civil rights for which many Americans have paid a heavy toll. Of all the civil rights, the right to learn is the surest prevention from ignorance. If at any time, children are instructed with anti-black bias; and they are made to learn what is not true and what the dominate forces in their lives want them to think is true; there're guilty of impeding the march toward American civilization. Astonishing as it is that those students would hang three nooses from the tree at Jena High School as a racial taunt, including calling the black students 'niggers'; you would think that America would never again want to see a black person hang from a tree, or behind bars. The nooses show that we, Americans, have not come that far from the cruelties and barbarity of slavery as we think. (Between 1882 and 1968, an estimated 5,000 people, mostly blacks, met their deaths at the hands of lynch mobs.) And this also is an unfortunate comment upon the belief that our schools are the great path to progress, the great equalizer. If our schools are the great path to progress, they must be the freest of our institutions, opposed bitterly to the attempt to indoctrinate our children with racial hatred. Well, Mychal, as you and the others wait behind bars because of a racially biased and an over zealous prosecutor, it is for us on the outside to continue the unfinished work of our fathers, to set you free. All of you were willing to fight racial hatred, and you know people of goodwill are beside you. If the Confederacy couldn't stop us, the opposition we now face will fail. When history is written your detractors will get little note, but you will be remembered for standing up for what's best of the American creed. You are part of a legacy in which our slave forebears fought to birth a new nation. You, Mychal, are a child of America's destiny. It was Martin Luther King who said if a man doesn't have something worth dying for he is not fit to live. Freedom is worth dying for. Justice is worth dying for. Equality is worth dying for. A child is worth dying for, because our job as parents is to protect children. Mychal, when you feel complete frustration and your narrow jail cell is closing in on your spirit and mind; remember the message of the old slave preacher to his flock whose resistance to oppression might have been completely in vain: 'You are created in God's image. You are not slaves, you are not 'niggers'; you are God's children.' Godspeed Mychal, Your brother in the struggle, Josephjoseph young - 08.10.2007 - on whileseated.org

Gene: You have just demonstrated just how ignorant you are, embarrassing yourself, your family and the community you call yourself representing. You are on a roll, keeping on proving to the world that Bigotry, racial Hatred, and Injustice does exit in Jena. Keep on demonstrating to the World just how backwards and deranged you and people who think like you really are. Name unnamed: If people lives were not being destroyed then it would be a joke. You feel those 6 kids were wrong? I agree, however the need for that child to have to ask if he could sit under a damn tree tells me that something is seriously wrong. Not to mention the events that led up to these boys being in this situation in the first place. A good effective reprimand was required when they first found out who hung those nooses in that tree, instead the school, and the authorities reduced a powerful racist message to a prank, and at the same time sent a message of a job well done, keep up the good work, and that is sickening! Alan: Gee Alan, I wonder why Martin, Malcolm and the many other Scholars from all over the world did not think of that? Let me ask you something Genius. Is that why a certain people are not to expect justice and equal rights in the eyes of the Law? Isa100: And a grown man pulls a loaded shotgun on some boys for no reason other than racial Hatred, the boys run in the directon of the attacker, take the loaded weapon from the attacker and run and the children are charged with theft? That was an act of unbelievable Bravery on the part of these boys. The kind the of Bravery that make up some of America 's Bravest Soldiers and they can't even expect equal rights under the law. That man should have been charged with something. I wonder what many grown men would have done under this kind or threat? Black? More than likely he would have gotten shot in the back running for his life, only to what Jena Justice System "KKKover" it up. A child was attacked at a party and the attacker was not charged at all. No one will complain about justice involving black or white. It is this 'monstrous miscarriage of justice" that the WORLD is talking about! Normalblackman: I agree with Mark, what you are saying has been done and is continuing. Do you have any children? How would you feel if one of these kids were your child? Obviously you are educated, so that is supposed to protect you or me from this kind of injustice? It's easy for you or me to talk down on these people since we are not going through what these people are going through. At least I have lived in the Deep South (Georgia) and I know what it is like. Now, Caseptla Bailey, the mother of one of the children being charged is 56 and a former Air Force officer, has a degree in business management, but she cannot get a job as a bank teller, now explain that one Normalblackman? Rest assured this woman can speak English. Are you saying that she and her son should be denied equal rights under the law? Even if her son was what we call a in the South a 'Mannish Ass Bo-', which is not the case because he is a good kid, that does not give that Racist DA the right to violate his civil rights! It's appalling to see these people form what looks like a 'good ole boy club' and utilize the Law to further their hateful agenda, by organizing from top to bottom:The Police, Judge, Jury, Prosecutor, and City Managers are either family members or 'KKKlub" members. I do believe that secret criminal organization function in the same manner. Look, it is not my intentions to insult you, or your intelligence but it sound like you are doing well, however it seems that you have forgotten what our ancestors fought for and what some of us are still fighting for, and where you came from. It is obvious that people who feel that they are allow to oppressed a people at random simply because of their skin color are not to bright. When you right such post you are encouraging these brainless people to continue oppressing our people. They get enough encouraging from other haters without us giving their sick minds the chance think that our message is a signal of support for their cause. I feel that these charges should be drop and the Justice Department should investigate from the Police to the DA's Office. In this area I would welcome true Justice to the fullest extent of the Law.Reiht - 08.9.2007 - on whileseated.org

I enjoy photos from Africa (the happier times, not the shooting and eating eachother times). Land full of ONE race, with customs it can claim all it's own, that no other race practices. A race that owns countries without a jewish overseer, regardless if they run them poorly, the race is in charge, not so for jew-led white nations. There must be places for white people to be able to live in an environment all their own, no blacks, no mexicans, and especially no duplicitous jews demanding they own the place or else it's "anti-semitism". Whites immersed in their folkways with no capitalism. A place they can congregate and propagate without the SPLC or Zio-shill George Bush calling it "hate" and "terrerist". Venezuela is one such nation for mestizos, Iran for Persians, North Korea for asians, these nations are PARADISES for their respective Razas, but there is not one nation for whites even though they make up the majority and or historical population of a vast amount of land. Hail NK. Hail Iran. Hail Venezuela. Hail Vinland?Ecoracist - 08.8.2007 - on whileseated.org

The charge "racism" is the most effective tool of degenerate capitalism; when someone calls you a "racist" they are knocking you for honoring your mother and father and your heroes and your God. We need to foreignize ourselves from these peice of shit blacks amongst us along with the jews and mexicans, agents of capitalism. We need indiginous culture. Look inside to our God given instincts to inspire us. Look inward to the being that gave us the automobile, the airplane, electricity, philosophy. We need to establish art. Community as ART. Life as ART. Even if that means we suffer for our art. Each white man and white woman working for the societal whole, all in sync to praise the one true God. We can't go on much longer with this anti-racism-capitalism. We are killing the planet. Either we are racists, or planet earth and the human species perishes.Ecoracist - 08.8.2007 - on whileseated.org

Hatred Exposed: So they are effluent as leaders in protecting their communities.

Just found this article, it seems ole liverlips was there yesterday.JENA, La.'The Rev. Al Sharpton criticized officials in this racially tense Louisiana town on Sunday, saying the attempted murder charges leveled against six black teens show "one rule for white kids and one for black kids." "I did not come to Jena to start trouble," Sharpton said while preaching at a local church service after the meeting. "I came to Jena to stop trouble." Jena, a town of 3,000, is mostly white with about 350 black residents and I bet only 10% of the black population are married, can't be getting married, mess up that welfare check, just keep breding like bitch dogs, dropping kids like litters of pups and keep that check coming in the mail.And always remember what that phony ass MLK (who loved white trash women) had two in the motel with him the night before he was blown away by James Earl Ray, said in a spech HE DIDN'T WRITE- I HAVE A DREAM, well we whites have a dream to, one day we won't have to look at any of you.Fred - 08.6.2007 - on whileseated.org

Where are the TWO Poverty Pimps (Rev Al Sharpton & Rev Jesse Jackson), guess they didn't think its worth the time running down to Jena for oops I forgot it was 6 BLACK kids beating 1 WHITE kid, had it been the other way around, their phony asses would have come a running.Three things ruined Jena La & AMERICA #(1) FDR creating WELFARE in the 40s,most of Jenas black residents and their descendants are still on it. #(2) Brown vs Board of Education 1954, without it Jena High would have been all white and none of this would have taken place,and #(3) the biggest blunder of all time was LBJ signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These three despicable acts ruined all of America not just Jena.

What if this was the other way around and 6 white boys had attacked and severely injured a black boy? Then the African Americans would cry racism and want the white boys punished to the fullest extent of the law. White people are discriminated against all the time, that is all affirmative action is. African American people need to understand that just because they are black, it does not entitle then to special treatment. Get over it and start taking responsibity for your actions. I have found that the racism problem stems more from blacks claiming they are being treated racist than it is white people actually being racist.

I'm tired of these "sistas" such as hotfire telling me that "they be down" were whitey is on some kind of unreachable plateau. White people do not own the elite people of this country. White people are having it pretty bad. Meanwhile we have MC Rove and a president that 50 cent calls a certified "gangsta". We have Rap(e) music blasting from our support-a-morons who took the flag waiving trend to the extreme, fighting in a war for our "freedom" (and oil and Israel). George Bush works for the corporate jew, not whitey. The US is experiencing major corporation funded demographic change. The major corporations are laying off American workers by the hundreds of thousands to rehire foreigners and their old loyal workers at a lower wage. Pure jewish profit. The economy "has never been stronger". But who cares Sistuh, the majority of these workers are "wite racists" who benefited from "privelege" and the main beneficiary is the "minority" "persecuted" jewish CEO. The jew has never had it as bad as the pesantry in any Western nation in the the entire Anno Domini, even during the so called holocaust. The "Whitey" canard is an excuse. Blaming Whitey is politically correct. Blaming Whitey keeps the zionist status quo undercover. The price for living in a completely safe segregated, town with a lot of community spirit, what every non-jewish white goyim desires, is ridiculous. I already have to work with blacks, and I don't want to witness their scams and ape mannerisms in the community where I reside, negroes are depressing. Every single poor white should still be able to afford God's gift of segregation, but instead jews on top are kicking goyim down, raising interest rates, making everyday life more expensive, and of poorer quality. Our wages go down and the liar TV anchor can go on about our "strong economy". THE BOTTOM-LINER JEW is the reason why we import poisoned wheat-gulteen from China into this doomed nation.

honestly. i'm tired of this horsecrap. i'm by far not racist. however,i'm completely sick and tired of african americans screaming for equality and complaining that the whites have wronged them. african american actions against whites have been just as offensive but no one ever hears about that. don't get me wrong, none of the actions taken by anyone this case were exactly satisfactory. if african americans want equality, they should try achieving and answering to the same academic standards that whites have to. i know for a fact, that in the state of Louisiana, the standard acceptance score and required scores for scholarships and other financial assistance is significantly lower for african americans. now, that is not equality and you don't hear whites complaining about that all the time. these things rarely get pointed out.J - 08.3.2007 - on whileseated.org

Before this started I tended to believe most news stories I have seen. But after knowing the truth in this case I have never saw a more one sided accout of anything. You know what hurts race relations more than anything is people making up all of this nonsense. I could tell you the actual story on all these instances but it would do no good and after all I am a racist just like all white people.Wake it it is time to be treated equal not giving sympaty and throwing the race card everytime something happens you daont like. You do the crime you do the time. None of you were slaves and you dont even know anybody who was. Blacks were not the only oppressed people. As you may not know most americans decendants came here for some reason they didnt like else where. Maybe it was religious or maybe it was personal heck some were just criminals. No one owes you anything in this country nor do they owe me anything. You have the right to the pursuit of happiness, that doesnt mean you will get it. Teach your kids to be proud of who they are and where they came from. Please dont continue to teach them white people are out to get them it simple isnt true. Sure there are ignorant people who do stupid things all over but you still cant take the law into your own hands. After all without obeying the law we are no better than a 3rd world country.

Indifference is also a big problem that perpetuates rascism. If you live in Louisiana (or anywhere in the world for that matter)and you are aware of rascists acts yet do nothing? What would you call yourself? We must move beyond the selfishness of thinkng only about ourselves. It's time for the upright, godfearing citizens to take back our communities from these rascist cowards who are fueled by ignorance.I know My Place! - 07.31.2007 - on whileseated.org

All white kids in the halls of Buckeye Senior High school in Deville La. just down the road from Jena. It's a thriving peacefull school to be in. It's no imaginary thing that white people are moving in flooding the area to get away from the infested streets of Alexandria. Towns like Eudora Arkansas were beautiful little "Mayberry like" towns until the racial intergration in 1972. Since that time the School was burned to the ground and unfortunately the town has all but been abandonded by the families that founded it. Colfax louisiana is a beautiful little out of the way town but it's also unfortunately a waste. When a community is infiltrated by the poverty stricken black community. It is doomed to perish. You can ignore it all you want to but the system aint gonna change for you. Change yourselves. I was at the Zoo in Memphis. I heard little black children saying "les go ova dayuh!" and "wut dis is main?" It's fundamental. These kids are at grade scchool level. 7 and 8 years old.They should know better. Is that acceptable language practice in black homes? "let's go over there!? "What is this?" How hard is that? These kids are gonna grow up to face everything their parents hate. Largly because of this. What is this? I'm certainly no english major but when I speak to others I can be taken seriously. those little kids were with there parents. I heard them speak to each other. Its NOT the system oppressing these little families. They do it to themselves. They are actively participating in their own downfall.And don't realize it! Why are decent black people descriminated against? keep teaching your children to sound like they learned to speak english from a video on BET. Yeah thats all the governments fault right? Bull. Start educating the kids so they can become productive members of the working world. The speach thing is a huge part of the problem. We're not talkin about suppressing an accent left over from a lost language.We're talking about ignorance fueling more ignorance.

Black society does not believe child rape is a crime. Black society does not believe fucking another bent over man is homosexual. Black society actively includes the above in sadomasicistic sexual slavery and finds nothing wrong with it. Blacks love slavery, just as they do in Africa. White society should not cuddle or progress black society in any way. We should divest from it. White man, throw out your kids 50 cent CDs, pull them out of public school, and slap or her him for good measure. 50 cent blares from the barraks each night. Coding our Armed forces to commit atrocities on completely innocent Iraqis. Blacks refer to it as "a g thing". Blacks are right. Being a white cop in the black inner city is the dumbest, most thankless and pointless job one could ever have. Black people have different laws, different rules, that differ substantially from white law. Any attempt to impose white law on blacks is completely pointless. It is "racist" and "white supremacist". Child rape is a non-crime in the inner city. This year "stop snitchin" is the norm. Black racial conciousness is at an all time high. Any white who ventures into the black city is taking an extreme risk the capitalist jew media likes to play down.Amalek Abu-Wazir Sadad - 07.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

Capitalist-Imperialism serves the jews, not White Christian supremacy. A White Christian america is one that praises hamas for attacking the usurist, pornographic, homosexual drug dealer state of Israel, not condemns their "terrorism". Instead, we war for Israel, and pollute our environment for the jewish military-industrial-complex. Palbo, whites have been forced into the same wall, niggers like Michael Vick and 50 cent are approved as our national heroes, their music blasts from the barracks of our murderous armed forces tents each night, even our older "wite rasis craka" folk know who "Snoop dawg" is. That doesn't ring "racism" to me. That's capitalism. racism is not compatible with capitalism. Bush hates racists and fights wars for the sake of the integrationist babelist agenda. racism would take away the generous hand to Israel. Bush has ruined America, ruined our economy, ruined the welfare of all peoples within it's land for the sake of the largely jewish military-industrial complex. Americans are only left with their tribal alliances. I hail the kids of Jena fighting for homeland, for tradition, for the future generation, against a bunch of 50 cent wannabes, it is an act against capitalism.Amalek Arise Crusheth Zio... - 07.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

Huh? Prayer changes things? If I may say, many black folk have been Christian in this country ever since the slavemasters forced the Bible onto them to make the accept their lot. Can anyone seriously argue that all this praying has made Uncle Sam one iota less of a racist? I understand why so many people find comfort in religion, but come on, "where is your faith", you're asking the wrong question. Where are the leaders, you ask? They are the ones who staged a sit-in in protest of this despicable racist incident, in my mind. They are the residents who have fought for the Jena 6. THOSE are the leaders. Pastors can help by joining the struggle for justice right here in THIS hellhole of a racist nation, not by telling people that "God is in control." Really? So how did this incident slip by God's all-knowing eyes? If God is in control, that could only mean that he approved of slavery, the genocide of the native peoples', and the present-day manifestations of America's ugly social history (i.e. Jena, New Orleans, the incarceration rate of black people in the US being higher than that of black South Africans UNDER APARTHED, etc.) What is responsible is for this situation is a system of capitalism-imperialism, which in the US has always had white supremacy at its core. this system is no good and urgently needs to be swept away by the masses, of all nationalities, with a revolution aimed at making a far better world. check out coverage and analysis of this ongoing event at www.revcom.us, the online newspaper of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (that's right! yikes!) I just read Alice Woodward's most recent article on this at revcom.us. Anyone with a desire to see change for the better and with an open mind should download and listen to the many talks by Bob Avakian, Chairman of the RCP, that deal with this reality and with how socialism and communism are in the interest of the majority of people, and how he's taking these concepts to a new level for the 21st century. They are at www.bobavakian.net. People on this list should especially dig into the one called 'Conservatism, Christian Fundamentalism, Liberalism and Paternalism - Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton- Not All-Right-but All Wrong!' The talk refutes Bill Cosby's moralistic ranting and points out that while much of the behavior that "normal black man" writes about is troubling and harms black folks themselves, the SOURCE of this is not that certain black people have "bad moral character." Instead it's the SYSTEM that has forced blacks into a situation of oppression and degradation. The talk goes into this in some depth. While a few "make it" and brag about living in gated communities, who really wants to go on living a normal life in a society like THIS, which has carried out some of the worst crimes in history and continues to this day to wreak terrbile suffering throughout the world so a handful of people can stay on top? Isn't it much better to join in the fight for justice against the oppressor than to be snooty and blame his victims for their conditions? FREE THE JENA 6!!!Pablo - 07.26.2007 - on whileseated.org

YEAH! Cut the tree down! Cause it's all that mean ole tree's fault! Right? Your stupid. This story is being told in lop sided fashion. As though ALL the white folks are out to get the poor victimized black people..... PLEASE! So far it looks like you're ignoring the fact that 6 kids jumped on 1 kid. Was the white kid like 20 feet tall or something? Was he a professional Cage Fighter? Why did it take SIX kids to whip his ass? Sounds more like a kid got ambushed. That's the kind of behavior most white people would expect to hear. Black people are discriminated against and judged because of the bad apples out there setting the standard. A bad standard. Not how they look but how they behave. Being black just visually associates you with another problem. Just go hang out at the intersection of Jackson St. and Bolton Ave. in Alexandria on any random evening. It's not a dangerous part of town because of all the WHITE people selling crack and begging for money. Black peoples biggest enemy lies within it's own communities. Drive around the neighborhoods and look for yourself. Many Black kids think its wrong to speak proper English because that's selling out and being white. I have a girlfriend who gets hassled all the time for "sounding white". Sounding WHITE!? Can you believe that? How about sounding like someone who grew up and learned to speak English. Black people ARE just as capable of anything as anyone else can do. But just listen to our young black athletes stumble thru plain conversations on after-game TV interviews. It's not because they're stupid. It's because they were raised in a house where people tossed grammar and fundamental education to the wind. Do you REALLY expect that job interview to go your way when you "sound black"? It DOES affect the way black people are received in society. Want equality? Teach you children to conform to the standard we ALL are held to. Black culture is difficult for white americans to understand because "ebonics" isn't seen as something to be proud of. Mostly it jut sounds like people intentionally destroying the language, which not only annoys everyone but also further alienates people from the mainstream. Political correctness saves the day though because everyone is scared to death of these issues. Just up the road from Jena in Deville La. is an ALL white school. Buckeye Elementary an BHS K-12. And guess what! its a great school system. NO gangs. No tension. No kids running wild all over the neighborhoods raising themselves with no dads. No groups of young punks roaming the streets on bicycles at 3 in the morning. Its really nice. Head on into Alexandria to Peabody or Bolton high school in Alexandria La. hmmm. Much more Chaos. Totally different environment. Why? Hmm. I'm sure there's more to the story at Jena than the noose thing. The tasteless joke of one or two little idiots! Nobody had to ASK permission to sit under that tree. Sure all the white kids gather up together. SO WHAT?And what about that comment made by the attorney about ending lives with the stroke of a pen? Did anyone REALLY hear it that way? Sounds exaggerated and taken out of context. I'd also bet that the only people that called it the "white tree" were black students. Don't judge this situation from one biased, embellished account. No doubt the punishment may be excessive. But you really DON'T know what went down at that school or who started the fight. The black people in MY neighborhood get along great and the kids play well together with the white people. Gated community. People with CAREERS and means. Children that are taught to speak like educated people and not SNOOP DOG. Ignore it if you want. Most prejudice can be avoided by starting from the beginning with the little ones. No NIGGER. No WHITE DEVIL. No talk like that in the house. Ever.

Alan: You're a very ignorant fellow if you think there are only racial problems between blacks and "everyone else". Open a newspaper and you'll see whites ranting about "Latinos" the same way they rant about "Blacks". Even the Asians have been stereotyped by whites--the whole "model minority" myth that leaves poor, uneducated Asian Americans left to deteriorate and suffer because they don't fit into what white people think Asians should be. It really irks me that everyone has their little opinion about racial politics or race relations, but they can't even take the time to do a quick Google search to figure out if their opinions are based on fact or not...It's not "blacks" who need to check themselves, it's you.You're Wrong - 07.22.2007 - on whileseated.org

This is indeed appalling that our youth continue to be subjected to the same racism that our forefathers and parents struggled so hard to eradicate. I pray that complete facts are being introduced on websites such as these. As an African-American, I will do all that I can to help fight injustice for any race. It just makes you a little hesitant to get involved when you have cases such as the Duke LaCross team rape case in which the young men were unjustly accused of raping an African-American woman and it turns out that they were innocent...or at least the charges were dropped. Whether or not we received all the facts through the media, is unclear. A lot of people were hurt by this case and I continue to pray that even though the charges were dropped, that the truth will be revealed some day. I just pray that we are receiving the facts of this case and not just limited information which will make us feel compelled to rise up to support this case only to be disappointed to find out that the young men were indeed guilty of the battery charges. It really does not matter about the race of the young men, right is right and wrong is wrong. Justice needs to be served regardless of race and the people of Jena, both black and white, need to rise up and stop accepting the racism and injustices that appear to run rampant in this town. May God grant knowledge, justice and peace to the people of Jena.Gwen - 07.21.2007 - on whileseated.org

Integration is the law of American TV society populated by the likes of both 50 cent and Jerry Falwell. It's foolhardy capitalist imperialism that we impose the standards of New York, Hollywood or Tel Aviv on other peoples, whether it's Iraq or Jena or Palestine. Segregation is natural and God ordained, integration at gunpoint is tyranny and is of the folly of a man who thinks God is outdated. We are in Iraq because Americans are led to hate natural societies. We are in Iraq because of capitalism. You "anti-racists" / progressives are responsible for the retoric for this war against "Islamic bigots". As for the Neocons, any self-proclaimed "moralist" supporter of war, should know that 50 cent and other gangster music is blarred from the barracks each night/ our soliders idolize gang-rape. It is no wonder that soldiers are being charged with raping innocent Iraqi girls, and our own female soldiers fear for their saftey. But that is multiracialism. That is Babelism. This is the better society we are creating for Jena and Iraq. This is the better society Israel is bringing to Palestine.

We sure need a major uprising, but it has to be a socialist uprising! That is the ideology that exists for the furthering of the quality of life of the poorer majority. Without an ideology no political movement can achieve anything at all. And capitalism only serves the rich minority. Dr. M.L. King just as Malcolm X moved to the left politically in the brief period before they were assasinated. This is no coincidence. Both became socialist revolutionaries which was the only reason why the american ruling class found it necessary to eliminate them. The Black Panther Party also took up socialism which was the reason why they were fought so hard by the ruling class. All these people came to the just conclusion that socialism is the answer to the problems flowing from the american ruling class. People who come to this conclusion are faced with major opposition, but in the end it is the only road to real change.

This is obsurd!!! and aggravating that 6 young men who are defending their rights as supposedly EQUAL persons in America, as well as self-defending their lives have been relinquished of their freedoms because of the ignorance of the people of this small town!!! and the judicial system always irritates me because in this case they are not giving these boys a fair trial! how can you try a person with an all white jury, and vice versa. I myself have been on jury duty, and the attorneys asked specific questions and did background checks to make sure that none of us would have and bias in the outcome of the case!!! and from the looks of this case, the Attorneys, on both sides, did not do a great job of chosing and eliminating the possibility of having an unbiased jury. Where is the due process of law in here!?! no where...the jury is supposed to determine guilt beyond UNREASONABLE doubt that he (they the 6) are NOT guilty based upon ONLY the evidence presented by the state and not based upon emotion!!! was that done...I believe not, because looking at the picture of the gas station it doesnt look very high tech thus indicating there is not a camera to prove either side of the story...so that portion of the evidence...if not presented correctly should have been thrown out because it poses doubt...this whole case seems skewed and needs to be pursued further...the parents need to fight harder and research historical laws related to incidents of this matter that go against the unlawfulness of this case and put in an appeal for these boys lives...the Civil Rights era could be a great start. ...Im praying for you all...and God is the only one who can rightfully judge...He wont put more on us then we can bare...Be BlessedAlwaysPraying - 07.16.2007 - on whileseated.org

I think the nooses in the tree were bad taste and hurtful. When I first read the story, I was appalled. Then I noticed the video. The key turning point for my opinion on this subject was the witness letter shown in the video. If you pause the video you can read it. I realize there are always school fights and that they should be treated as such but in this situation the assailants took things too far. After Justin Barker was knocked unconscious, two other boys came over to kick him in the head. A fight with a conscious person is one thing, that's a fight... but when two people kick an unconscious person in the head, that's attempted murder. Once someone is "out" the fight is over unless your goal isn't to just "end" the fight and subdue the other person. People reading this story are turning the whole situation around. If the boys really did what was described in the witness testimony, then they deserve the battery charges... because that's exactly what they did.iso100 - 07.16.2007 - on whileseated.org

I think the whole story is a joke. i feel the 6 kids were wrong and should be punish for what they done. but i think the D.A is wrong for turning his back on the other things that's going on in his town. this will only get worse in jena after this,i feel the whole need to be tore down. the school has a problem the same as the law enforcement. they are really showing there true color they will not get a fair shake in Jena atall. it must be moved to another city.name unnamed - 07.16.2007 - on whileseated.org

Mr. Steve the racist has just the kind of mentality that I was talking about. He is an anti-black racist because the capitalist media continuously attack black americans and for instance talk about there crimes. Negative things about black people are overreported. At the same time stuff like this Jena incident gets underreported. It will not get on Oprah's talkshow. The white corporate media moguls don't do this primarily because they are full of hate, but simply because it's usefull for them to divide the people. That way Steve the racist doesn't blame rich people for being poor ,because he most probably is poor, he starts to blame black people for his problems. The gap between rich and poor in the USA is rising since the Reagan years, and only rich people are to blame for that. The more poverty levels rise, the more people like Steve the racist begin to seek an enemy. The right enemy would be rich people because they are responsible for the rising poverty levels. But through attacking black people in the corporate media, the elite can divert the attention of poor white [and black] people away from the elite. The whites will begin to see the blacks as their 'enemy', and non-whites have to deal with this racial hatred. It's all plain divide and rule.Daniel - 07.14.2007 - on whileseated.org

Hey Gene! It's cowards like you that kill little girls and boys instead of coming at a real man...one on one. Never are racists like you capable of backing up those ignorant words. I bet you pass a 6'1 230lb black man from the Bronx and you wont do sh%%t but keep your head down. If you see an ape...then you should do something about it. But you and the rest of your ignorant kind wont. You'll sit on your azz complain how you can't get a job because you want things to be handed to you due to "entitlement" by race. Crazy. Only in pick-ups and when facing women, children and outnumbered men can you commit your acts of hatred. Never in the open, never man to man. Not that I'm condoning violence but either get along or get it on. It's that simple. Too many different races exist, and too many people built this country and defend it with their lives. We're not going anywhere. Africans by the way are from Africa. I'm not from Africa. I'm an American...born and raised. I love this country but hate it's leaders and ignorant people of all colors. Blacks may be loud, obnoxious and violent but so are whites,(Watch Animal House if you've never been to college). And how many are serial killers and pedophiles? The numbers for both sides kinda even out . As for blacks wanting white girls, there are a few out there who like women outside of their race. But love is love and nothing in the universe can stop that. Deal with it. Just like our women have dealt with untold rapes for hundreds of years by whites. You get the fair skin blacks from what...? Think about it. Ahh..no sorry for saying that last part. Thinking, for anyone who says the things you do, is not a high priority. The DA in this case needs his A** kicked up and down the street but I have to say that the blacks there honestly piss me off too. Stand up...FIGHT! I don't mean just with violence but don't stand for this crap in this day and age either. This should've made national news! Stop crying and do something. When is enough enough for you? It may be stealth racism up north but I'll tell you what you wont see a pick-up full of men chasing down and killing a little girl in Brooklyn so why let it happen down there.

I am proud to be a blogger right now- it seems much of the media hits for Jena 6 are from people taking this into their own hands and spreading the word.

I have family ties in Jena, LA. I moved there once, and enrolled my son into Goodpine Elem. My son was in fifth grade and he would come home each day with stories how the childern were different. He did not understand why the whites picked on him and why the blacks were afraid to be his friend. I thought about how I was raised (in Louisiana) and that is when I decided my son would not be subjected to this type of lifestyle. I made a call to the school and withdrew my son. I explained to the lady on the phone the problems my son was having with the childern and did not want him to be subjected to the racisim. I explained to her how I thought she could help in changing the childern and possibly give them a different outlook on life. I explained my concerns hoping she would help. But instead the lady on the other end of the phone said to me "I hope you get your life in order because things will never change". That was all I needed to hear to make up mind to leave Jena. My son is now a Freshman in college, unlike those young men, he has a future. His future started when I withdrew him from school in the small town of Jena, Louisiana.Everyone knows - 07.8.2007 - on whileseated.org

Here in the Netherlands the corporate media attack only the islamic community and not the black community, so we have racial hate against muslims and social seggregation between islamic and non-islamic people. To people in the Netherlands it is bizarre and strange indeed that black and white can't seem to live together smoothly in the USA. Don't let the corporate elite manipulate or brainwash you into 'hating your neighbour'!Daniel - 07.7.2007 - on whileseated.org

It appears the facts of this case are appalling. The good people of Jenna need to stand up & stop this nonsense. It sounds as if their Prosecutor needs to be replaced. If he flaunts the fact he can change a life with the stroke of a pen, he's misusing the power of his office. There is a petition on the web that one can sign. It asks the Federal courts to become involved & review these cases.

i just have to say that i am from jena and to those who condemn the entire town and think the entire town is racist, i feel sorry for you. because that is the same type of ignorance that fuels racism.james - 07.6.2007 - on whileseated.org

Hello Great book. I just want to say what a fantastic thing you are doing! Good luck! Byetovorinok - 07.4.2007 - on whileseated.org

'Ashamed of home' got it partly right. I'm ashamed too. As a boy, I lived in Jena for six years. I'm white. My father had an excellent, leadership job with the hospital. I attended church. I sang in choirs. I played in the band. I was a boy scout, but I broke rules too. I was also an outcast among my peers'even though my family had blood and marriage roots in the community dating back 150 years. Still, as a man now in his forties, I had thoughts of one day returning. I had thoughts of going back to Jena's tall pine trees and easy pace, its rolling hills and the architectural history of a small town, a Mayberry. I dreamed of wandering the woods and streams with my children, as I had done. I remembered there had been some racism. But it was honest. It wasn't backstabbing racism, strouded in normalcy, as is often found in the North. It wasn't, as the BBC called it, 'stealth racism.' It was inappropriate jokes and ethnic stupidity, which anyone with a brain quickly saw for ignorance and disregarded. It was limited to the mouths of red necks, goat ropers, oil field workers and the elderly. The town leaders saw passed color. In high school, I had friends who were white and friends who were black, although admittedly I was closer with my white friends. Still, we all chatted at lunch and recess. We worked on projects together in classes. We played in the band. Black atheletes, heroes, led our football team to divisional championship'. That's how I remember it anyway. Now that community's gone. As an adult whose three closest friends are black and native american/hispanic, I know I can be racist. But I have learned we all can be racist (or sexist). It isn't simply whether or not we "are racist" that should concern us, but how aware we are of ourselves and how we act on our racism. It is our heart AND our actions that count. It is our ability to grow and live beyond "racist thoughts." Clearly Jena's district attorney and all-white jurors have forgotten themselves, and in so doing have become the worst kind of racists, the kind that foster hatred and destoy lives. I too feel sick, and sad. I pray that justice is found.Ashamed of home, too - 07.4.2007 - on whileseated.org

Bravo to "Not in America" and Joseph Conrad's comment; I fully agree with your statements. I too feel as you do and I fought for my country as well; serving it for over 21 years and I feel disgusted and outraged that racism will not go away; and it's not only white people that are racist. God only gave us "Ten Commandments" and one of them was to "Love thy Neighbor", it didn't specify anywhere in the bible as far as I know what color, race, sex, or religion the neighbor had to be!

In some ways it is as much about children as race. These are all just kids. Why are they being treated as adults? It is the adults who are responsible for them, especially at the school, who truly should be on trial.tsl4 - 07.1.2007 - on whileseated.org

Jena. Bush country, indeed.Vic Anderson - 07.1.2007 - on whileseated.org

I was in LA when Bull Conner was sheriff. Twice I nearly lost my life to the Klan. Then, I fought in Viet Nam at Da Nang and Ple Ku for 4yrs. for the 'Red, White & Blue'. I hated protestors when I came home on leave because they'd spit on my uniform. However, this situation in Jena makes me enraged because I suddenly realized that when I was fighting in Nam, I was fighting for the right of Jena citizens to be Racist! No wonder so many Black soldiers (and so many white ones suprisingly) hated fighting for a Racist Nation! Jena?! Clean up your act! It's.2007 NOT 1937! This nation is having enough trouble on the World Stage. It just can't afford to keep fighting the same old tired fight. Lee Surrendered...Joseph Conrad - 06.30.2007 - on whileseated.org

Jena is sick. It's in La Salle Parish in Northern LA, closer to Mississippi and Arkansas and generally outside of the more liberal (IMHO) Acadiana area. Such opinions would not be uncommon amongst other communities in those parishes. (Not to say that we in Southern Louisiana are any different, but we Cajuns are generally known for being accepting and have long been comfortable with everyone else thinking that we are little better than trash. So long as they enjoy good food and can tell a good story, we generally don't care whose family they're from or what they look like [because we're generally a pretty ugly bunch]. Sadly many of Louisiana do not share the swamp rat sentimentality.)Therese - 06.29.2007 - on whileseated.org

America is built on racism - this is one of the ugly truths that so many people wish to avoid recognizing. In a certain sense, some ethnic groups may be wrong-headed as well - by focusing so much on racism's "prime time" - the days of slavery, segregation - and demanding everyone put that at the forefront of their attention, they create the illusion that it's all in the past. That it's something America has washed its hands of and merely should feel a little guilty about. Nothing of the sort. Regressive, in-bred attitudes are rampant everywhere in the US right now - look at a couple of the racism-laced comments on this very blog entry /about/ Jena. Americans have a particular set of blinders, and a unified chant: "Not in America." Bad things, truly bad things that indicate a core disease at the heart of a society, only happen /over there/... in those savage foreign nations full of strange people and strange religions and strange ideas that aren't /American/ ideas. America is a country that believes its own propaganda, and believes its own Walt Disney image. Ironically because of this, it doesn't think it has to /work/ at upholding the ideals on which it was founded. It believes it has them by right of birth. America is not a bad country. It has many admirable and noble things to its credit. But it's a deluded country - deeply, fundamentally deluded about quite a lot. It's an ignorant country - ignorant of why many things happen and just how the world works. And unfortunately, "Not in America" will only work for so long. Social revolutions happen most quickly when people are desperate, angry, and backed into a corner. America is trying its best to set the stage for new waves of such revolutions by treating its own citizens the way it does. What happens on the day that Old White Paunchy American Good Old Boys wake up and find themselves a true minority? What happens when the piper comes to collect his gold? I'm not sure what, but I do think it'll be a bad day to be a bad American.Not in America - 06.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

Cade, the levee comment was a metaphor. Thanks for your comment, 'ashamed of home'"mdm - 06.28.2007 - on whileseated.org

I grew up less than an hour from Jena, Louisiana. And as a "hometown girl" I can assure you it's not only Jena that functions at a racism level that's appaling, but most of North and Central Louisiana. South Louisiana as well, but perhaps with a different "type" of racism. The school I grew up in had 0 black students and 2 black teachers--this was the only exposure I had to anyone not my race my entire childhood. I'm not saying that justifies anything, but....the school board and the teachers allow this to happen--they allow "white proms" and "black proms"...they allow schools to aviod teaching racial acceptance and non-judgemental attitudes. While a large part of the blame is of course laid upon the young people themselves, most of what they learn is something their parents stand solidly behind, which only makes the future of Louisiana youth that much bleaker.

Something should be done at the government level to recify this. This is an atrocity on society.

Racism is alive and well in the world, not just Louisiana. All racism is unacceptable; It's admirable to travel to some rural backwater to stamp out racism, but pretending everyone doesn't have this kind of crap in their own backyard is lying to yourself.

If you would have told half the story you would know that 150 jurors where called on...25 witch were black..No blacks showed...zenovia via youtube

25 "witch" were black? Do you mean 25 which were black, and you mean to tell me that they did show up for jury duty, which pays (not much, but still) but they are willing to protest for free. GTHOOH. Thats total BS.allison3261 via youtube

NO it's not!! I was selected for jury duty on this!

I refused because I know both families....even his daddy was outraged about it!!!! There where 15 black names called who which I know and am friends with!

NO BLACK SHOWED THAT DAY FOR JURY DUTY!!!! The reason

I asked why...the reply was if the guy's where found

guilty the black jurors said they didn't want anyone

mad at them!! Don't pass the racist card on me!! I'm not racist....hmmm sounds like you are!!luvurbrother via youtube

I know for a fact that this is a lie. No black person would of not show up for a trail like this. Knowing that this black kids hands would be in the hands of the white people from Jena. Knowing they would not get a fair trail with all white. that is BSallison3261 via youtube

He's got juvenile court to worry about now.

It sounds like a hate crime. All the other stuff has nothing to do with six black young men almost killing a defenseless white young man just because he was white.Hate doesn't end hate. Everybody can be prejudice. Including whoever made this video.gracebelieverz via youtube

YES THIS IS A HATE CRIME- The hatred was the whites who were so mad some Black boys sat in their lily white spot under the tree before they could get it first, then subsequently

hung THREE NOOSES on the very same tree. That's what I call HATE! One of the bunch that did it got less than what he deserved, seeing that Blacks have been

LYNCHED, AND BURNED ALIVE BY RACISTS for no reason.

White folks know a noose means to Blacks , what a Swaztikka means to a JEWJTokko via youtube

You cant respond to hate with hate. period.

What your saying is next time a black says CRACKER I should hang his ass from a tree. Maybe had these boys been smart they would have joined a group to fight Hatred, it would have been six more for the cause. Instead they succumbed to it and now its six more blacks in prison. It wasn't the whites who made these young men do what they did. If you keep up like that you will leave the power in white hands.gracebelieverz via youtube

Hate is wrong, but involuntary reflex of beating a man who calls your wife a dishonoring name is normal, just as a race which has been set back by racist "crackers" who called us nigger so much that we call ourselves nigga, and yall have the nerve to tell us what to not refer to yall as?JTokko via youtube

First off, If I beat a man who calls someone I love a dishonoring name it is most definitely not involuntary.

Second, We set you back but don't use that as your excuse not to move forward.(I do have the nerve)

Third, What is Power? You easily label things in black n white. What does that mean? Are you jealous of power? Do you want blacks to have The Power?gracebelieverz via youtube

The power has ALWAYS been in white racist hands!

Ever hear of the "PRISON LEASING SYSTEM"? This and lynchings were done AFTER slavery, so don't u tell my race how to suffer or how to respond to the brutal rapes of our women and children,

The war is ongoing if u didn't know between GOOD and EVIL!!!! NAT TURNER WAS FIGHTING AGAINST AN AXIS OF EVIL- that continues to this very day. Black folks fought against u when they didn't have assault weapons and a large number of white sympathizers, we don't seek war but won't hesitate to show why we are known worldwide for being CHAMPIONS! Yall just need to chill with the hate from generation to generation,OK?gracebelieverz via youtube

Black didnt show up 4 jury duty cuz they know how racist white men sneak around in the night burning crosses while hiding faces with pillow cases!!!!!!! In Texas the white boys who beat a 44 year old retarded man only got 2 months in jail! END TERRORISM OF BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY AMERICA and then maybe the muslims will end terrorism against us. Maybe yall think the global community doesnt consider us human, eh?gracebelieverz via youtube

Be it known that after all the burning of Black folks alive for the entertainment of white racists, we have yet to war against the AXIS OF EVIL which America has become. This new generation of Blacks aren't going to take your public display of nooses hanging from trees! I personally have witnessed two Black men beaten while handcuffed by police. Isn't America paying enough for racism against Blacks and others? Why is America STILL known for being a place of HATE by even Europeans? NJNP!XpeciallyAdrienne via youtube

All I have to say is Im from Louisiana...and Am Still here.....It's still ALIVE people....Perhaps no blacks showed up because there is barely any in Jena...I live not even a hour away...the media is only telling you what sounds good....its a simple fight that has got out of hand..the only thing they need to be sentenced to is...to pay his hospital bills....apollodionysus7 via youtube

thanks so much for this story... not only is it horrible that such a thing can happen, that people can rightfully presume they can get away with such a corruption of justice, but it is also a real shame that this story hasn't been taken up by the media as a really important story. I want to add that I am embarrassed to see some of the hateful comments - you have to reconnect with your HUMANITY, people!rocketprime via youtube

It's clear to me who's to blame. The people of Jena, both black and white, need to gether up their bibles, torches, and lighter fluid. They need to go to that high school. And they need to send that devil tree what makes their kids attack each other back to the flaming abyss from whence it came!tommytommy2020 via youtube

Did 6 black males assault the white male ?

if yes then why are the charges bogus and why should they be set free? please ?

Sorry that is not justice.

and the kid who gets beat wasn't even involved in the noose hanging (which isn't illegal)syaira1 via youtube

If it were you ,would you think this was justice? People commit murder and don't get 22 years. Why hasn't anyone else been charged with anything? Were the black teens the only one in the wrong? What about the black student beaten at the all white party? What about the man that pulled a gun on the children at the store?tallimae1 via youtube

First, they are being charged with attempted murder, which is not the same as assault. Second, hanging a noose is a hate crime.TheWhiteWolf14 via youtube

if some white kids beat up a black kid before this incident then they should be charged with whatever crime they committed (obviously)

putting a noose on a tree is a hate crime ?!? (we sure did turn into a girly society ill tell you that) and if it is a hate crime then the punishment is getting beaten by 6 other peers ? (that might work) is this vigilante justice ?tallimae1 via youtube

The white kid that got jumped was not a response to the nooses on the tree. Second, the white kid was released from the hospital after a few hours and was not even close to dying. Therefore, assault.jayisajus via youtube

Of course you can easily speak about something you do not understand. If someone had hung your (family members) ancestors from a tree, would you find it cute to find nooses hanging from a tree to taunt you?, I doubt that seriously. I bet you are from Jena, thank God I do not live in such a hate filled community.TheWhiteWolf14 via youtube

and about the assault i guess it depends how bad SIX people had beat that ONE person. you can murder someone with your bare hands. (even more with Six pair of hands)seanromano via youtube

to tallimae1, some of your information is old if not wrong. please do a little more homework and update your data before you even think to give an augument.seanromano via youtube

tallimae1, if i were to beat you so that you had to spend "a few hours " in the hospital, would you want to put me in jail? its just a bunch of bruses and split lipp and a swollen shut black eye-- nothing life threatening!!!!! would you want me to pay for my crime. be realistic!seanromano via youtube

"what does al sharpton have to do with anything?" just what does that crook have in this matter that does not concern him? , another jassie jackson,GREAT! spiritual and communty" leaders have been sticking there noses where they dont belong FOR TOO LONG.must we remind them of our governmentle stance on seperation of relion and state? period.seanromano via youtube

kicking an unconscience person in the head and face is attempted murder! what? they were just having a lil fun, releasing some frustrations. if it were an unconscince girl at a party that someone just wanted to "feel" on a bit, isnt that sexual assault? bottom line is DO THE CRIME/ DO THE TIME!!seanromano via youtube

the noose in the tree... hate crime? please! find this offensive? grow up and get a tougher skin!!! whos been hurt by putting a noose in a tree? no victm, no crime! kicking a person ,who has already been beaten to the point of unconsciencenes, in the face and head by a couple black kids that just happened apone the original beating, IS INDEED A CRIME--VIOLENT CRIME!seanromano via youtube

unprevoked! does the sight of someone who is bleeding from the mouth,nose ,ears and head- helpless on the ground, anger so that your first reaction is to kick him some more?! what is wrong with that pic? not a hate crime?!, then what is?!jayisajus via youtube

You are obviously a racist, so of course in your eyes it was okay for the white kids to jump on the black kid and not face attempted murder charge, but when it is the other way around suddenly it is wrong. This kid went to a party the same day, he sure recovered from attempted murder real quick. Please your racisim is showing.seanromano via youtube

firstly- i'm of mixed heritage from (st bernard parish)southeast louisiana,i know racisim.i'm not! im not for any one particular color, i'm for justice! their is no doubt that the 6 boys committed a violent crime,they should be held accountablevjust as anyone else involved(white boys)! just because they are young, black, and under 21, doesnt make them above the law!!!!!!!!!!!ITS THAT SIMPLE!jayisajus via youtube

No one should be above the law and unless the whites that jumped the black boys are going to be charged with the same crime and go before an all white jury, then I will protest against the unfairness.jayisajus via youtube

Being of mixed heritage does not give your statements anymore validity. If you are going to speak for justice then it needs to stop being handed out differently in the town of Jena. It is amazing how many think that what the white kids did was fine but the black kids a thugs.DevilDog3550 via youtube

I'm not saying what the white kids did was fine. I would just like to know if they stomped on and kicked the black kids head while he was knocked out. If not then the crimes arent the same. If so, then they are. Oh and I guess I'm "racist" now because I dont fully agree with you "jayisajus". I've seen you throwing that word around alot.jayisajus via youtube

This kid went to school function hours later, yet he was beaten near death. If bailey had not had his friends there to help him get away no one knows what would have happened at that party. So if the had hit him in the head with a beer bottle then it would deserve a slap on the wrist right?. Always looking for an excuse to justify what the white kids did.seanromano via youtube

so what excuse does the 6 boys have for what they did?jlingo2008 via youtube

this is the excuse.i know bryant purvis.. that white boy was making racial remarks towards the boys..nooses were hung in a tree in the school yard...the boy was asking for it if you ask me...he deserved it and i have no remorse for his racist a**...all of the boys weren't even involved in the fight, they were wrongly convicted for being black..midnightriderbw via youtube

Sticks and stones. Blacks call whites "crackers" and "whiteys" all the time around here. It is not the same as a brutal assault.jayisajus via youtube

Of course in your eyes it is not the same because the kid was white. You can try to justify the white kids behavior all you want, but wrong is wrong and now the whole US knows it and come sept there is going to be a movement like nothing you have ever seenBoogieKnight75 via youtube

White kids get beat up by black kids all the time around here. You need to realize that. And they generally DON'T get tried like that. This is totally different. And I'm not trying to justify any behavior. YOU are trying to justify the 6 who beat a kid in public view and had to be pulled off of him. You need to know what is going on here. There were many fights. Caused by blacks and whites. NONE were tried. Only the brutal beat down, which wasn't a fight, but an attack.midnightriderbw via youtube

That is exactly right BoogieKnight. He is the one who is looking at color and not facts. People all over the country are jumping on this without knowing what is going on. Here comes the Duke incident again. I am for racial equality, but this case is not about that. And it is a shame.jayisajus via youtube

So brutal that the kid went to a social event the same day. You all need to stop trying to act like this was a situation where this kid was beat near death. The six that did deserve punishment but so do the whites and I will not agree that is ok to punish on more harshly than the other.midnightriderbw via youtube

Yes, wrong is wrong. 6 cowards beating an unconcious kid, and never letting up (this was no fight as many are claiming) and expecting to get off because they are black kids in a redneck town is a tragedy.jayisajus via youtube

Thank you for calling it what it is( a redneck town.) A bunch of white kids punching and hitting a black kid with glass beer bottles is to be commended. The fact that in this country people think if you black and show up at a white party you should get your(ass kicked) goes even more to prove the point that in Jena it is all about Race.midnightriderbw via youtube

Noone said that. Why are you hurting your argument like that? It IS a redneck town. And noone "commended" them for beating him. And LOTS of black kids beat up white kids around this time. they weren't prosecuted, because they were fights. School fights and party fights happen all the time. The Jena 6 incident was different. It was a premeditated attack.jayisajus via youtube

If that is the case then all are wrong but if one is going to be punished then all should be. Were you there? did you personally ask these blacks if they set down and planned to murder this guy? Or is this just a matter of your opinion? Which of course just so happens to let the whites off and send the blacks to prison.midnightriderbw via youtube

I don't think they planned to murder him. That'snot what the charge was. It was aggravated battery. And yes, that is what happened. I don't care what color they are. The murder charge was wrong, but it was also dropped before the trial.jayisajus via youtube

Yeah because of all the exposure and media attention. They should have never been charged with it in the first place. Premeditated attempted murder was the original and this kid faces up to 22yrs in jail. While the whit kids get a slap on the wrist. If the races were reversed I would feel the same way. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.midnightriderbw via youtube

Sorry, but injustice is letting them fly.seanromano via youtube

sure, but would you still march on jena if the roles were reversed- probably not! so dont say you would feel the same way. infact, if the roles were reverved- the white kids(being the jena 6) would have been charged w/ hate crime and attempted murder and you would never think of setting foot in jena to march against injustice!jayisajus via youtube

You do not know me, if you did you would eat that comment. There a white people who have been in my life and personally touched my life in ways you could never understand, I would not have one of my children today if It were not for the sacrafice and love of a wonderful young lady who was there for mejayisajus via youtube

So for your information, I would march, because thank God not all white people are not like you. I am blessed to not have to deal with people like you on a daily. The white people I have come to know and love, knows I would and thats all that mattersseanromano via youtube

no, thats where you are wrong. i know you and your type all too well. and bye you having a white woman sacrafice for you means absolutly nothing to this or how you think i may feel. bye the way-- you still have not said if you would still march for justice if the jena 6 were white!!! youre grabbing at straws and chainging the subject with erelivant statements.jayisajus via youtube

I do not get any hand outs neither do, I believe anything is owed to me, except equality. I am not on welfare, I go to work and work my ass off, just like my white counter parts. And I never said blacks were the only people done wrong, I am black therefore I speak about the wrong done to my ancestors, but wrong against any race based on color is wrongseanromano via youtube

i agree 1000%. thank you.queenb10195 via youtube

seanromano u stated to some1 on here i know u and ur type all too well exactly wot type is it ur refering too?seanromano via youtube

since you feel it neccesary to bud in... i was referring to people who have the mob mentality,which is to rally the crowd without farsight to their action or insight to the cause. which is in no means a racist comment, if thats what youre getting at.seanromano via youtube

the black community as a whole still is the only ones that have a problem with name calling. what, are we so infantile that mear words hurt our feelings soo much to the point wear everyboby must kiss our ass and watch what you say cause it may just offend someone, toughen up. get over it. its just words! blacks wont be seen as equals until we start acting like it!!!jayisajus via youtube

As far as slavery go , slavery of any human is wrong. For your information my grandmother grandmother lived to be 108 and was a former slave, she lived long enough to tell the stories to my grandmother and have come down through our familyjayisajus via youtube

Unless you have had the experiences we have I do not expect you to understand or to even try to. You wonder why we are so angry it is because people like you like to down play slavery why because you can never admit that a great wrong took place in this nation and expect us to just say oh well to bad so sad. It is my history and no one can tell me how to feel about it.seanromano via youtube

i have no problem admitting "great wrong..in this nation". it was a wrong thing to do. but PEOPLE LIKE YOU... cant seem to understand that blacks were not the last race of peolpe to be opressed in this nation- and those of holm were, got over it and made something of them selves, so that noone could ever do that to them again. what is the black race waiting for?seanromano via youtube

with every oppertunity in the world given for the past 50yrs from this "white nation",just what has "black society" accomplished? have they made use of what is there for only there taking ? yet still its all about the nation owing something to blacks. im sick and tired of the hand outs, give youreself a hand up.jayisajus via youtube

As far as if I would march reread my post and you will see that I answered that question. I would never not stand up for my white friends or any other person that I could help. Unlike you who can only see the color of skin, as is evident by the fact that you keep grouping us all into one category.jayisajus via youtube

As long as you continue to have the just get over the fact that slavery happened mentality, I will always have an issue. Again you group all black people into one category. You do not know me and quite frankly my friends both black and white would laugh at how little you do know about me.seanromano via youtube

name calling is an excuse!? then im sorry. there i said it. the 6 boys should not goto jail, but instead goto pre school again. only freakin' babies get their feelings hurt when theyre called names!!!!queenb10195 via youtube

depends on wot names they being calledseanromano via youtube

you have to be kidding me!!!!! do you need your 'lil hinny changed? doya? huh? doya?jlingo2008 via youtube

the previous week one of the boys, mychal, was beaten up by a "gang" of white men at a local party, that was never brought into the light, he was even threatened with a gun, so what was their excuse??? White people are so iggnorant sometimes its not even funny. fights like this happen everyday! i have their back...no white person could ever feel the pain blacks feel everyday in this society operated by whites..its sickseanromano via youtube

".no white person could ever feel the pain blacks feel.."are you out of you mind? and how is this so? please not tell me its about slavery. were you or any of your family a slave? if you say yes, that would be a hard one to prove. beside, ever heard of indentured servants or the chineese railroad or how about the plight of the irsh immigrants? look that up in a history book. get educated about such things before you poor mouth about slavery.jayisajus via youtube

How can you feel what it is like to be black, have you ever been so do not presume to tell me how to feel about my ancestors or my history. I have a right to talk about slavery it is my family's history.invadertronx via youtube

You would never feel the way blacks do because you will never be black. Blacks are treated different in society but your to blind to see that. Not only Blacks but every other minority so maybe you should do alittle research before you post something like that again.midnightriderbw via youtube

Yeah, but I bet if they laid off of the vioelnt crimes a bit, and stressed eduaction a lot stronger, things would change. I guarantee it. Most whites look down on the ignorant KKK types too. It is just sad to see blacks focus on that when they are killing each other at such staggering rates.jayisajus via youtube

Only you know the answer to that question. I am just tired of people acting like what these white kids did was soo minor and the black kids were so horrible. It just bugs me, so the group of blacks got the better of this kid in their fight now it is attempted murder. I guess they should have use a glass beer bottle instead then it would have made it alright cause apparently that made it alright when the white kids did.seanromano via youtube

when a group of people commence to beating on one person, it's not called a fight- it's called a gang attack. yes! gang! look up your state statues on it if you dont believe me. this is apples and oranges here people! not the same at all! and i agree w/ the other comment, you are too quick to call someone a racist. maybe you should check yourself before slandering others!which happens to be a civil offence, so chose your words wisely!jayisajus via youtube

Yet it was not a gang when the white kids did it. Typical, how funny the rules change when it is white kids. There was no excuse for anyones behavior yet the blacks get severe punishment and the whites a slap on the wrist, sounds like fair and equal justice? Yeah rightmidnightriderbw via youtube

When the white kids did what. Why do you think he was at an all white party? He was starting crap. That was trespassing on private property. What happened at the school was a sneak attack. They jarred the doors shut so noone could help him. It was a premeditated, vicious assault.jayisajus via youtube

The parents should not have given him permission to come in and the fact that there was an all white party just goes to show the racial divide in this community, but every one now wants to cry Jena is not racist.BoogieKnight75 via youtube

WHAT!?! How many "all-black" and "all-white" parties do you think there are!? I think I got an idea of what I am dealing with now. I PROMISE I couldn't just crash a black party without expecting trouble. Especially if I was already having trouble with the people at school. That is crazy talk.midnightriderbw via youtube

There are all-white" and all-black" parties all over all of the time. Who are you? Are you serious? The town is 85% white. It's not that strange that the party was all white. and the guy went knowing he had trouble with the people there. He went to cause trouble.jayisajus via youtube

Even if there were only white people at the party, why would you beat up someone because they are of a black. See you feel this is perfectly ok you are sticking up for the white kids because you are white but when I stick up for the black kids I am wrong. Double standardmidnightriderbw via youtube

You don't get it. First, you don't know he was beaten "because he was balck". He was beaten because he had been fighting these guys at school and then showed up at a party to start shit. I don't think they were right to beat him up because he was black. The white kid HAD to be at school. This guy didn't have to go to a private party where he knew the peiople there didn't like him. That is the same regardless of color. Open your eyes.midnightriderbw via youtube

No one said he should have been beaten because he is black. I hope you can see that, but it looks like you can't. This guy thought he could start trouble because he is black and a football star, and if people like you have their way, he will be right.jayisajus via youtube

These boys were not right to jump on anyone anymore so than the white kids to jump on the blacks. All deserved to be punished equally but only the blacks got punished that is why I have a problem. And yes someone did say that.midnightriderbw via youtube

Yes. You are right, many are saying stupid things like it is right to beat them because they were black. But I didn't. But I do think he was wrong to crash a private party and start mess with people he already had trouble with. It is asking for trouble. And I do see a difference in a fight at a party and what happened at that school. Again, it wans't even close to the only incident. Just the only one worth prosecuting.jayisajus via youtube

He was given permission by the parents to enter the party. Regardless of where a fight takes place wrong is wrong. So would it have been different if this fight had taken place some where else?. Probably not. I guess we just have to agree to disagree.liab via youtube

wow...it's amazing to see the hate in this world toward jews,blacks, and anyone non white, when are the racist going to realize this world was never theres and never will be...and kkk aren't christians, hahah it's funny they think they are...Thow shall not kill..TheWhiteWolf14 via youtube

i would like to see more death sentences and less crowded jails.liab via youtube

kkk are up against the whole world nobody is pure white hahah funny half the kkk has ethnic ancestors and don't even know it...they will never amount to anything..picture a small kkk group and the whole ethnic world (or in their terms non-white)...they are helpless.jayisajus via youtube

color of change . org / jena / go to this website if you are in support of the Jena 6 and sign the petition to the La Governor and district attorney as well as sign up to go to Jena in Sept for a rally and protest. I am lining up a good group to go if you can do the same.jayisajus via youtube

If you live in atlanta or surrounding areas and would like to go to protest along with others from various states please leave a message in my box. I am attempting to get together groups to rent buses as well as car pool to Jena on the sentencing day for the first young man.seanromano via youtube

If you thought that the racial atmosphere in jena is already strained, bringing a couple a buses full of angry outsiders into town will just make things worst. what is wrong with you. have you nothing better to do than to prolong rasical tension with a so called cusade of justice. louisiana doesnt need you, louisiana doenst want you! stay where you are!!!jayisajus via youtube

No what you would like is for the black community to do is sit down, shut up, and be quiet. Guess what this is not the 1960's and we are not going to just sit quietly and allow people to use the justice system to hand out unfair punishment. This is all the more reason why we need to stage a peaceful protest.seanromano via youtube

jayisajus, i dont want to augue with you just for augument sake, but tell me this-- do you think that the 6 do not deserve any punishment?jayisajus via youtube

I think they deserve to be treated the same way the white group that jumped on the black kid did. If the white kids are punished and the life of the black kid is given the same weight I would not be on here arguing. It is the unequal justice and the fact that the schools swept it under the rug and the DA went too far.seanromano via youtube

"school swept it under the rug" whats it? the first fight at the party?-- its not the schools place to get involved in that. that fight at the party was between two kids (w/b)having a tiff, just like kids always do and have done for ever. but to tell me that 6 kids,(no matter what race)beating and stomping on another kids head and a juvenile squabble at a party deserve the same action, then you must truely be out of touch with reality!jayisajus via youtube

Out of touch, you just want to justify your racism, if the school had properly address the hanging of the nooses and had never allowed a so called white tree none of this would have happened. Wow when a group of white kids jump on the black one it is a tiff when blacks jump on a white kid it is attempted murder. Keep trying to justify the racism, it is all the more reason I fight so my young sons will not have to face this kind of justice.jayisajus via youtube

You just keep proving the point that people see things different when a black attacks a white. A district attorney threatening black students, people pulling shot guns on people all justifiable when it is white people doing it. Give me a breakcolvinleeann via youtube

You need to sit down, be quiet and get educate.BaeBoyBent via youtube

Your an ignorant coward. I bet you wouldn't come to NY with that ignorance. No one wants to come down there to that country ass, racists, hicklebee of a town. Gena? Who are you. The only reason ya'll have publicity now is because of this horrendous incident. OnlY God can judge you, me, and those 6 kids fairly. Racist pigs. Hopefully you racist can see passed all those horrible and ignorant idealogies that white people are superior in this country.seanromano via youtube

"ignoant coward",for christ sake pick up a dictionary or a thesaurus(no, not a big scaly reptile monster)! the town is spelled Jena-with a "J". what is hicklebee? "horrendous incident...", get a clue! "idealogies" thats not even a word!! you mean "ideologies".you talk of god's judgment and you "rap"about shooting people. a lil' touched are we? besides, i know i got parts of NY covered. you bring that shoot'em up crap down here and BAEBOY will get BENT over a barrel!!!!Pnobronx via youtube

To many Blacks in NY so you don't really have anything covered there.jayisajus via youtube

Is it true that the first march consisted of approximately 300 people and only 8 were locals residents? Is it also true that the black community of Jena attributes the decline in the crime rate to these six boys being in jail?jayisajus via youtube

I honestly do not know, but I promise you this, in sept the numbers are gonna be shocking. That 1st march was small due to the fact that not many knew about it, but the news is spreading fast. I have sent out countless emails and letters to friends an famuily, who are in turn doing the same. I have also contacted my local media so the word is getting out and the numbers are going to blow your mind.ncmoonshine via youtube

they didnt even hire attorneys , how can they expect to get justice without even trying.outthetube via youtube

They got great super attorneys working on their case and will be freed like their suppose to you idiot.ncmoonshine via youtube

i hope they do when they finish being punished for what they DID do, of course unless they should be cleared of that just for being victims.mshook12 via youtube

Wow, you can't possibly think clearly and write this poorly. I don't know the context of your post, and don't care, but I had to point out what a dingleberry you are - you can't write on a 3rd grade level and call someone else an idiot at the same time. Thanks for bringing down the status quo though! You make the rest of us look smart by default.outthetube via youtube

mshook12, grammatical or spelling errors are normal daily occurrence so to judge me by because of a line or two of errors is telling of how much of an immature moron you are. If you would've click on my name and visited my channel page, then clicked my video I think you'd be forced to swallow your words. Grow the fuck up and say something more intelligible next time. Fucking racist!!!jayjay913 via youtube

They didn't have great attorneys...friendsofjustice.wordpress. com/2007/07/02/ineffective-assistance-of-counsel-w hat-blane-williams-should-have-known/biglavelle75 via youtube

Three black teens waited outside the store hiding and waiting for the white teen to leave then they proceeded to beat him and he made it to his truck fearing for his life trying to leave The jury was all white but several black members of the community were summoned for jury duty but none came forth.The white party supervisor as well as other mature adults were there and there were several blacks there. Even the blacks that were there told the cops who really started the problem.jayjay913 via youtube

Umm....the person in the truck was not a student...Pnobronx via youtube

To much racist bullshit for me, Jena is always going to be the same.If them black people over there don't come as one the rest of us aren't going to help.Only 300 people wow thats a shame,that is the reason why Jena is the way it is.If the blacks would man up more and come as one Jena would change real fast. kkk LOL they don't want it really we out number them with just the Bloods and the crips so if jena wants help they have to step up first and then the rest of us will come running...luvedna via youtube

There are those who commited murder who don't face as much time. This prejudice ass backwards justice system is trying to take us back and make an example of these kids please people let's step up and not let it happen.midnightriderbw via youtube

Bullshit. Murder has much stiffer penalties in Louisiana. They can be put to death or face life in prison here. The 22 yrs everyone is harping on is the MAX penalty, not the minimum, or what he will get.eugene1999 via youtube

midnightrider......... how do you claim t have so many facts about this story are you some kind of way involved?(just asking) and how do you know they won't try to give this young man the whole 22 years? most people think that there should be no jail time served or should i say NO MORE ,but what do you feel is an sufficiant sentence i'm sure some of us would like to know.midnightriderbw via youtube

I don't know all the facts.point is that most of what is being presented as fact is just hearsay, much of it ONLY from the defendents and their family. Exactly what happened in these cases is disputed, but witness reports and official reports contradict what is being spread nationally. And the national reports don't even acknowledge the other sides, or a few things that aren't disputed. You could say one side is lying, but same for the other. And they are the ones facing the charges.midnightriderbw via youtube

I don't know they won't get 22 yrs, but why should they? The only reason people are so convinced they are doomed and it's so unfair is because that is what is being spread. No one knows what they'll get and 22 years is highly unlikely. They chose a judge with a rep for fairness and leniency on 1st offenders. Bell with Juvie offenses and probation would get locked up till 21 in Juvie. I don't know. Maybe suspend the sentence with service/ probation. thats the judges job, he hasn't done it yet.kellydude via youtube

I am black man and this is horrible. We as a country tried to be perfect and we try to make the whole world democarcy and everyone is created E Q U A L crap. But we have this same bullshit in our on back yard. We are no better than the terrorist assholes. As Americans we need to wake-up and look at ourself in the mirrors before we play world cop. Let fix our shit first!!!!coachbagqueen via youtube

We can no longer allow this to happen. Church leaders and politicians have sat back and allowed these unjustices far too long. this 2007 and this has set us back so many years. Wealthy rich celebs and rappers and music artist step in and get help get the kids out.colvinleeann via youtube

I agree so much with you.We need to do what ever it takes to get the Jena6 free.midnightriderbw via youtube

Amen. The church leaders and politicians need to understand that it is time for violent criminals of all races to shape up or face the concequences. They have harped about bullshit in people's hearts and minds too long, and ignored what is actually happening.RexMaximus via youtube

Except in Jena, a white kid can break a bottle on the head of a black kid and not even be threaten by serving time in jail.midnightriderbw via youtube

The "victim" of that alledged crime needed to report it to the authorities sooner than a few months later if he wanted something done about it.colvinleeann via youtube

How do you sound.Who gives a danm about the truck we are talking about 6 young lives here,that's going to be destroy,if we don't do something.midnightriderbw via youtube

Free them? Why? I understand if you want the minimum sentence, but they are guilty of the crime. if you want whites prosecuted too, start that petition. I hope you know only one has been convicted and NONE have been sentenced yet.coachbagqueen via youtube

they r in jail. this is wrong and yes the white should be brought on charges as well. Need a petition on that as well.onefam via youtube

midnightriderbw u n denial. ur guilt bothered u so much that u trying to poke holes while acting like ur not racist ur self. justice is not blind. stop using ur time to throw salt at people standing up against oppression. we all pay the price for racism. use ur time to educate white people about their cruel history. maybe some will repent and start to help the world heal. no more excuses, white wash, or cover ups.midnightriderbw via youtube

Wrong. I am not racist. And I am not "feeling guilty" about anything. Are you? I'm just telling you, this is a classic case of a distorted story. Focus your energies somewhere it is warranted. Most white people knnow their cruel history, no one lets it go away, and that is fine. But don't use it as an excuse.onefam via youtube

to test ur guilt or racism and be honest with ur self would u be having the same views and spending time posting if this was white people. u probably would post but it would be the other way around.midnightriderbw via youtube

I post because of my anger at the media, actually. Not black people. And because this bull shit is affecting where I live. It is causing racial strife, not doing anything to remedy it.hurricainesly via youtube

He's right onefam. We all need to band together against those who exploit conflict, both black and white. Don't assume all who disagree with this are racist, because locally, we know there is much more to it, on all sides.RexMaximus via youtube

But why does media coverage of this anger you? Is it not true? Basically, most people have yet to see a WEAPON-LESS high school fight where they believe one of the participants should be jailed. Suspended or expelled, yes. But sent to prison for possibly two decades is absurd. Furthermore, the fact that the DA even attempted to have an "attempted murder" charge shows that this town is out to make an example of kids, so waiting until they are sentenced would be waiting too long.hurricainesly via youtube

"But why does media coverage of this anger you? Is it not true?"

No, Rex. Most of it is NOT. ANd please don't call this a "school fight". That is not the case. Barker was knocked out with a blow to the BACK of the head and then stomped bloody while some of the 6 held doors shut to prevent witnesses from helping him. That is NOT a fight. That is assault. And being that they kicked an unconscious guy in the head repeatedly, it was aggravated.RexMaximus via youtube

Exactly what parts aren't true? Earlier you misquoted me about the sentencing, so perhaps you are simply misreading the print and calling it wrong. Furthermore, a FIGHT that happened at SCHOOL is a SCHOOL FIGHT! That shouldn't even be an arguement! Finally, if this is "aggrevated assault", why wasn't the kid who used a bottle in the fight at the party charged with "assualt with a deadly weapon"?hurricainesly via youtube

A fight takes two. Sorry, but if one guy never even takes a swing how can it be a fight? I don't get that.RexMaximus via youtube

Nice, hurricain. If I didn't have much of an argument, I guess I'd argue semantics as well. So let me ask you a simple question, which is the heart of the issue. Do you think the DA's treatment of the Jena Six is unfair?hurricainesly via youtube

You don't have an argument. Semantics? You are trying to paint a FIGHT out of somehting that simply is not. And read my posts YES I think it's fair to prosecute criminals. If you think white kids got off easy, go petition that, but the Jena 6 seem guilty as charged. 6 on 1 when 1 never takes a swing is not a "fight" no matter if the 6 assailants are black and no matter if there are racially biased people in the town or not.RexMaximus via youtube

Yes it's semantics, because in both cases it's clear an assault happened. Whether you want to label it as an attack, a fight, battery, etc... is irrelevent. However, if you want to see my argument, scroll up and read my post on the legal difference between simple and aggravated assaults. Then come up with something better than arguing whether a "fight" did or did not occur.dkno77 via youtube

midnight, u had me up until the point that whites' cruel history should not be an excuse for the bad behavior of the 6, as well as the horribly bigoted post of most of the bloggers. Structural violence is real, systematic, and a successful end game. Everyone is not capable of rising above an oppressing regime, but those who do succeed at this sometimes insurmountable task, sadly recognize that many will fall prey to the trappings of poverty and marginalization. Ever..Nelly3188XGNaruto200 via youtube

Do something you can't do anything THEY HAVE POWER!!!!!!!! They don't care that you are doing petition they're not wacthing or anything racism is just going to continue and there's nothing us black folk can do about it if only one of us have the power!Nelly3188XGNaruto200 via youtube

I wonder we should put a test or something let's get some white people make them look black and put something races at a school for some white kids and see what they will do to the hidden black kids who are really white? I'm serious we should really do this and show white people for a fact that some whites are cruel and races to blacks only!jayisajus via youtube

For those who have not heard Micheal Baison will be doing a live broadcast from Jena on Sept 20 at 8:00. There will be a protest at the court house and many celebrities as well as people from all over the country will be there, if you check out the forum on his website there is more information on how to get to Jenashakeim via youtube

You Tube, Lets down something! Lets organize, write letters to the US Justice Department demanding federal investigation. I'm going down to protest on Sept. 20th. YouTube, Lets go in full force. Get at me....jayisajus via youtube

I think Seanromano are just upset that this time you can not make us sit down and shut up. I think you are upset because you see people uniting together to try to correct a great wrong. I am sure you would just love for us to do nothing, but throw all the stones you want, it still is not going to change the fact that we are going to March in great numbers in Sept.seanromano via youtube

well jayisajus, you are intitled to youre opinion even if it does suck!!!!jayisajus via youtube

And Me and my opinion will suck all the way to Jena in Sept.UrGurlCommin2YaLive via youtube

I don't wanna hear that shit your talking about we're not the only race opressed! This has nothing to do with any other race, but the African American race. This shit is wrong. It goes against everything America stands for. It's ridiculous that peope actually think that this should be allowed It's a very rascist thing and no matter from what point of view you look at this situation from; clear glass or fogged glass it's always going to be viewed as rascist.hurricainesly via youtube

What's wrong? That a guy got convicted of a crime many saw him commit? He hasn't been sentenced yet, so don't say that was too harsh.

The DA was wrong to go for Attempted murder, which he apparently did on behest of teachers who said these particular kids (not the 80 or so other black kids at school) were menaces and many witnessed this particular event. But that charge was lessened to a more appropriate one before the big hoopla.nizocapri via youtube

My question to you is why didn't they charge the white kids when they did the same thing to a black kid the day prior???????midnightriderbw via youtube

Because that didn't happen.KelsABeast via youtube

Okay i hear the point of the african american

boys committing the crime...

But if the judges and white biggot basterds

werent such ignorant pricks they would be able to

understand the limits of human emtion..

One can only take so much...Jealousmango via youtube

If you live in Jena or attended the school and believe that the Jena 6 should be freed, thats one thing. But for those of you that are basing your opinion on this matter based on only this and other clips shown by the media, then you need to be educated on the matter before you make a decision. The fact-of-the-matter is that most of the statements I have heard, are ridiculous.RexMaximus via youtube

Well, mango, what are the "facts" and what statements do you consider to be "ridiculous"? Do you attend Jena high school, or should your opinion also be voided? While I know the media can be biased, the fact of the matter is there is no way a high school student should be put in jail for two decades for a fight in which only minor injuries were suffered. And I don't think the media is making THAT up.Jealousmango via youtube

Yes, I attend Jena High and I saw Justin Barker laying on the concrete bleeding and unconscious. The tree now commonly being referred to as the "white tree" was never that. If you wanted to sit there, sit. I promise you that white people were not the only ones under this tree. This is just one of the many lies I hear about the Jena 6 that makes me furious.RexMaximus via youtube

I never said that tree was the white tree. Nor did the website that brought me here mention that. But that's pretty much irrelevent. Maybe I should ask what IMPORTANT facts are "ridiculous." In particular, how can the actions of the "Jena Six" result in felonious charges when an earilier attack in which a beer bottle was used as a weapon resulted in the assailent on being charged with a misdemeanor crime?RexMaximus via youtube

Bottom line, what these kids did was wrong and they should be punished. However, one of them has already been in jail for six months, and the possibility of that jail sentence being 20+ years is very real. The punishment simply doesn't fit the crime. Especially when contrasted against a similar situation in which the attecker only recieved a "slap on the wrist".RexMaximus via youtube

Here another, less relevent question but still a question. If there was absolutely no stigma attached to the tree, then why hang nooses from it hung there afterwards?sexygyalflex via youtube

So did you happen to see the black boy who was beaten up by the white boys prior to this lying on the floor unconscious? You don't seem very furious about the fact that his attackers weren't punished at all.mmmhmidnightriderbw via youtube

No,and I haven't read or heard a single report of anyone else seeing him either. are you talking about the Fair Barn incident? None of the reports have anyone lying unconscious on the floor. Bailey and at least 4 friends refused to leave a private party and gotinto it with a group of white guys.white guy who through the first punch was charged with assault. He nor his friends were charged, even though they were told to leave.midnightriderbw via youtube

I'm curious why no one making this dubious claim cares to explain it or say where they got it from? mmmmhhurricainesly via youtube

Noone has been put in jail for two decades! That is one of the biggest lies right there. The sentence hasn't even been passed down for the ONE kid who was convicted of aggravated battery.RexMaximus via youtube

Are you reading what's written?! No one says he HAS been put in jail for 20 years, only that it's a possibility. And it's not an unfounded fear because the DA is obviously trying to unjustly persecute these kids.hurricainesly via youtube

"the fact of the matter is there is no way a high school student should be put in jail for two decades"

Yes, you did imply that. Just because 22 yrs is the max, doesn't mean anyone wants to give him that.RexMaximus via youtube

The DA originally charged him with attempted murder, so it's clear HE wants to give him that.midnightriderbw via youtube

But he didn't. The DA doesn't make the sentence, the judge does. And the fact that Bell is now an adult with four prior violent crimes doesn't bode well for him. Maybe the furor his family has kicked up will allow him to recieve MORE leniency.RexMaximus via youtube

Well, midnight, when a white student who attacked one of the Jena Six with a bottle, why did the DA choose to charge the attacker with simple battery, a misdemeanor, instead of assault with a deadly weapon?midnightriderbw via youtube

The bottle allegation didn't come up until months later when Bailey, a prime intigator in all of this, made that claim. Even if it did happen, he didn't rport it then, he didn't go to the hospital, and he certainly wasn't beaten by a group of people while he was unconscious.midnightriderbw via youtube

Furthemore, he wasn't "attacked" like the school incident. He and 4 others showed up at a party they weren't invited to. They were told they weren't welcome at the PRIVATE party and they refused to leave. That is when a fight broke out. They and the one white kid who got charged were told to leave and another fight broke out outside the home. The only person charged with anything was a white kid. How does this compare to the attack at the school?RexMaximus via youtube

Ok, Midnight, let's compare the incidents and look at the LEGAL differentiation between "simple battery" and "aggravated battery". An attack is "aggravated" under 4 conditions.

1) "The attack was against an officer." That's irrelevant here.RexMaximus via youtube

2)"The assailant has the intent of doing more harm, such as rape or murder." The DA dropped the original charge of "attempted murder", so even he must agree death wasn't their goal. I'll assume the white kid wasn't trying to kill Bailey when he assaulted him with a bottle.

3)"The attack result in grievous injuries." Neither victim was even hospitalized overnight, so the injuries sustained could not be considered grievous in either case.RexMaximus via youtube

4) "A weapon is used." Hey, we have a winner! If a weapon is used, battery can be considered aggravated, instead of simple.

And that is the only legal difference we have between the two incidents. So I'll ask again, and maybe this time you'll answer it. Why did the DA try to pin a first-degree felony on six kids whose crime BY LEGAL DEFINITION, is less grievous than a crime that previously warranted a mere slap on the wrist?midnightriderbw via youtube

Sorry, in Louisiana, assault with the intent to cause serious harm is included. 6 on 1. Uncounscious from first blow. Repeated kicks to the head while potential aid was held off by accomplices. Aggravated assault works here.

And what crime warranted a slap on the wrist. What assault that is anywhere comparable to this. You are still ignoring what happened in this case and you act like something similar happened to a black kid. Where are these things?midnightriderbw via youtube

And how do you keep ignoring the fact that Bailey never went to a hospital nor even claimed that he was hit with a bottle until months after he was charged in the "Jena 6" incident?RexMaximus via youtube

Even though you still haven't answered my question, I'll still answer yours.

"assault with the intent to cause serious harm is included."

Yes, that's included in #1, but I didn't think I needed to spell it out as You-Tube has a character limit. However, if the white kid was as defenseless as you portray him to be, I'm sure that six people, some of whom were grown men, could have caused much more damage than a few cuts if "serious harm" was truly their intent.midnightriderbw via youtube

He has a concussion. He was held in the hospital for 3 hours and was released to go to a graduation ring presentation. He was severely beaten and the many witnesses and doctors confirm it.RexMaximus via youtube

I like how you are throwing around adjectives and adverbs in an effort to skew the facts. How can a person who was "severly" beaten and faced "serious" harm attend a social function 3 hours later? No matter how much spin you put on it, a simple concussion is not a grievous injury.midnightriderbw via youtube

It doesn't have to be a grevous injury, genius. Just the intent to cause such. If you wouldn't have conveniently edited that (the ONE part of the four or five posts explaining "aggravated assault" which was relevant to the charge) you might relize that.

No matter how you want to spin it, people saw what happened. They thought he was dead. That he was not is good for him and the Jena 6. It allows them to get the lesser charge even though many witnesses wanted the attempted murder.RexMaximus via youtube

I AM a genius, thanks for noticing. However, I'm not sure what "edit" you're talking about, so please explain it in full. Regardless, by you staements, it's clear the Jena 6 had the opportunity to cause serious harm. If they also had the intent to cause serious harm, then how is it possible for the victim only suffer minor injuries?RexMaximus via youtube

"What assault that is anywhere comparable to this."

The assault with a bottle is within the realm of aggravated battery, as shown in #4 above.

"how do you keep ignoring the fact that Bailey never...claimed that he was hit with a bottle until months after"

Because you're the only person that asserts this is a "fact". I've read from many sources that confirm Bailey was assaulted with the bottle, which I believe more than some anonymous You-Tube poster.midnightriderbw via youtube

Sorry then. You just won't get it then. He did not claim to be hit with a bottle till later. He and 4 friends were at a party where they were asked to leave by the host and refused. A guy got in a fight with them and was arrested. Months later he claims he was beat with a bottle.RexMaximus via youtube

Why was the white guy the only one arrested?RexMaximus via youtube

Furthermore, if the legal system in Jena is as racially biased as it has proven itself to be, what good would making the charge do? Earlier, a man already pulled a gun on a group of teenagers for no reason, and it was the victims that were arrested.midnightriderbw via youtube

It hasn't proven itself to be that. I and many others completely disagree with the elements you are using to paint that picture. It simply isn't rue and no amount of biased news coverage will chhange it.queenb10195 via youtube

(jealousmango) if ppl want to believe the jena 6 should be freed then thats they right it don't matter if they live there or not at the end of the day the boy had minor injuries so that alone tells me that max of 22 years in jail is stupid and all these witnesses that were present how come none of them tried to help???hurricainesly via youtube

Queen, they DID try to help. That is why the Jena 6 also face "conspiracy" charges. They barred doors shut so people couldn't get to him. It was a set up on their part.JenaIsMyHome2 via youtube

Hey we love you!! from JenaIsMyHome & JenaIsMyHome2 (p.s. tell you know who we're still mad about her not coming to sonic ;])Jealousmango via youtube

I understand that based solely on the FALSE facts from the media, people believe Jena is nothing but un-just racist pigs, but I assure you it is not. please understand that the media makes money off of things like this and they try to blow things way out of proportion.queenb10195 via youtube

how come other ppl from jena not just the blacks have stated that there is alot of racial tension then?????hurricainesly via youtube

Because, queen, you can say that about any town in the US. There are also a number of black people saying that Jena isn't nearly as bad as people say. If you merely want to point at racism, you don't have to go to Jena to find it. You can also find people, white and black, who will bitch and overstate things no matter where you look. And the "media" has gotten out of hand with its irresponsible sensationalism.RexMaximus via youtube

I can't say that DA's in any town have threatened to end the lives of blacks youths with one stroke of a pen.somaliopian via youtube

to say that these boys DESERVE the sentences they are facing is just BULL. I went to a MIDDLE SCHOOL where we had a FULL ON race riot between whites, blacks, mexicans and cambodians.YES the police were called,people were injured,broken jaws, broken ribs,FEW went to jail and it was only Juvi time.A Grown MAN HIT my 13 yr old niece IN FRONT OF HER MIDDLE SCHOOL, my 12 yr old niece jumped up and clocked HIM,midnightriderbw via youtube

6 on 1 from behind. Not a fight, a riot, or anyone "being hit". Convicted juvenile offenders and accomplices knocking someone out, holding doors shut, and kicking him bloody. The reports of how "light" his injuries were are exaggerated and he was very lucky for that. You compare to riots, but that is more like other incidents where nothing happened, not this brutal assault. Apples and oranges.sexygyalflex via youtube

Since you seem to have a great deal of opinions on this topic, I'm interested to know what you think should've been done to the whites who beat up the black boy.YOU'RE also downplaying the fact that a group of white boys beat up ONE black boy.Why is it acceptable for them to get away with it?midnightriderbw via youtube

I'm not downplaying it. I'm doubting that it happened. witness reports and official reports don't tell it like that (if you are talking about Fair Barn. If it is something else, I have never even heard of it).somaliopian via youtube

, now the police harrass my nieces on their way to school because THEY are considered delinquents, the man was NEVER arrested, you know why? BECAUSE EVERYONE INVOLVED WAS BLACK.lets face it,if they had gotten into a fight with a mexican or another black kid,they probably would not even be in jail. Since when does jumping someone at school result in basically life in prison?the only people who think this is ok ARE extremely ignorant people, or RACISTS. I'm sorry BUT THAT IS FACT!midnightriderbw via youtube

No one is getting anything close to life. He might get 5 years or so. Maybe more based on his record, but his record has to be taken into account, as do the eyewitness accounts of that attack. It was more severe than you tend to think.RexMaximus via youtube

The atack caused, by medical definition, a MINOR concussion. How can it be that severe if the victim is able to attend a social function later that day?johneldleim via youtube

(Jealousmango) Your are out of your stupid ass mind. Jena is as backwoods as ever. Blacks don't have good jobs and people in Jena still live in houses with tin roofs (if you call call it a house), most streets in Jena are still unpaved. Jena is as racist and backwoods as they come. How do I know this? Because I have family born and raised in Jena. Then need to get the fu!@ outta there!FromJena via youtube

Haha. Your funny. (not funny haha, funny queer)reneekia via youtube

to midnightriderbw everything u say is bs. If this was blacks beating blacks this would not even be an issue. Eventhough Bell has not been charged even the thought of him receiving 22 years is outrageous. Anybody who hangs a noose should be hung themselves.midnightriderbw via youtube

If it was whites doing this to a black kid it would be a federal hate crime. You still seem to downplay exactly what happened. 6 on 1. Knocked out from behind. Kicked in the head while bloody and seemingly "lifeless". Do you undertand that the witnesses, and probably the "Jena 6", believed he WAS dead, until they got help for him?RexMaximus via youtube

How long was he "lifeless"?midnightriderbw via youtube

I know you don't pay attention well, but I'll explain. I said "per court documents and witnesses". They saw him as lifeless. When they stopped the crime, people thought he was dead. He was unconscious when they brought him to the hospital. I was describing what witnesses saw and why the witnesses lobbied the DA for a stiffer punishment.sexygyalflex via youtube

that school is retarded and messed up. i don't get how the whites got away with what they did with the whole tree thing. God put us on this planent to love on another... these racists are just brainswashing their children over and over again. Racists shoudl hav their own lil town in the middle of the ocean and let them live with their stupidity and ignorance.karamel1129 via youtube

midnight since you have a lot of explanations about the incidents. How do you explain the DA telling the black kids that protested under the tree that he could "take their lives with the stroke of a pen"? Why didn't the white boy who pulled a loaded gun on the 3 black boys get charged with anything. explain that. Those white boys must be friends or family of yours.midnightriderbw via youtube

1)DA told ALL the students that, not just blacks, nor peaceful protesters

2) Four FBI agents (2 black 2 white) found that no peaceful protest seems to have occurred. The police came for fights, not a protest

3)The gun was apparently not loaded, because Bailey, who took it, could produce no shells

4) witnesses claim the 1 white boy was the one assaulted. He did go to his truck and grab his gun, but they took him down and took his gun from him

5) no friends of the family at allqueenb10195 via youtube

they would claim that wouldn't they, i think it safe to say by looking at this case a lot more should have been done to the losers who hung the nooses,if it was an invite only party then bailey shouldn't have gone but he shouldn't have been attacked eitherqueenb10195 via youtube

continued= the guy who held up the black kids should have got in trouble, ok 6 on 1 is unfair but the punishment does not fit the crime, especially as he was able to go out l8r on and i do believe he said something to them even still they should not have attack him but facing prison time of a possible 22yrs is so stupidseanromano via youtube

once again. misinformation. the DA didnt say "take lives" in the literal sence, but to have control over how the da office would charge a juvenile that does crime. also, unloaded gun was brandished only after being provoked and followed to the gas station.johneldleim via youtube

seanromano - no ones going to look at how he meant it but how it was preceived.joeydg via youtube

first of all, a noose being hung on a tree is not a prank, this was the worst act of all and no one is talking about it, the d.a. is a racist.....22 years?! kiss my ass....dude was chillin out the same day.....i refuse to live on my knees, that is what u white folks want with your fake religions....c u soon!joeydg via youtube

hanging a noose is a Hate Crime, an all white jury is a Crime, didn't a black dude get assaulted that's a Crime,pulling out a shotgun is a crime, white dude gettin his ass whipped is a crime, but 22 years is an injustice.............seanromano via youtube

22yrs is a possable but not probable because this is the 5th violet crime this boy is being charged with. in 1 yr. nobody want to take time to find out why the boy maybe sentenced to 22yrs, they just start crying racism.juliopurmerend via youtube

Never heard of Hitler's proud African corps. If white people stimulate black's into crime, cos they are so convinced about it to lead the black's to the wrong way. They are white and believe in a egoistic Jesus Jew! And that should be a superior white tribe..seanromano via youtube

the tean convicted of beating a student at jena high in dec 06 had been convicted as a juvenile for attacking someone a year earlier, then committed 3 more crimes while on probation.seanromano via youtube

that makes mychal bell's aggravated second degree battery conviction his fifth for a violent crime according to district judge j.p. mauffrat.chasityjeansanders via youtube

You know what i am WHITE I think the little white boy got what was coming to him ! I think the little white boys should get charged with something . Like let me see death threat . The black guys did nothing wrong they done the same as most people would do . Set then free I say .llllkaallll via youtube

The fact that there is a "white tree" sickens me. I'm a 32 yr old WHITE female, and I think no matter if you're red, white, blue, purple, yellow, pink you should be able to sit whereever you'd like. Sadly, there is alot of this still in small towns across the US. Funny thing is, the "white people" STOLE this land, the US. racism is alive and well in the US, and it makes me SICK! God Bless these six boys that were just excerizing their right to sit under a tree!mtaylor66 via youtube

Thanks for standing up for what's right, fair and equal treatment is what we need here.seanromano via youtube

woman! you have it all wrong! do a little more reading before you start making lude comments and make youre self look stupid!kennihana via youtube

Ah, racism is alive in Crackertown, USA just louder and stupider in La. where this evil plays out every day. My Mother's family are from La, dark of skin (Spaniards)and they were ill treated. She would not hear a prejudicial remark without correcting us. She made us humane. I quote F. Zappa "You know folks, I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white." The reason La. is ALWAYS 49th or 50th on the list of states best to live in. God save the persecuted.mtaylor66 via youtube

So Sad for us here in the USA when we have our soldiers fighting for democracy in Iraq and the democracy here in the USA is non-existence for these young men in LA. Let's stop talking about this and do something about it. Contact our senators and request some attention to this horrific injustice to these young Americans.shaneebug via youtube

There's so much to be said on this issue, it's hard to sum it up ain a comment but We as "Americans" must not let Jena 6 become a Precedent b/c many other teenagers may be sentenced to 22 yrs for a school fight. And where I come from a DA (Walter Reed) would never show up at a school w/ armed officers to address students via threat "I could be your best friend or your worse enemy, I can erase your life with a stroke of a pen" Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere! -MLK, Jr.midnightriderbw via youtube

No bitch you got it all wrong those boys are fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen years old and they did what the fuck they had to do the white boys jumped on him first so he did what the fuck he had to do retaliate so if they are being charged for that then those white boys need to be charged also with 22 years to life now you get your fuckin facts straight first before you try to comment.midnightriderbw via youtube

How did he jump them? With the back of his head? I think you have some things mixed up here.

Bailey and his boys got in a fight at a party they crashed and refused to leave (and got charged with nothing). How you can use that to justify their attack at school, or to condemn their prosecution is upsetting.jfizz313 via youtube

what could thy be charged with for being black goint o a white party and him and his boys got jumbed by the poeple thermidnightriderbw via youtube

No. For crashing a private party, refusing to leave, and engaging in a fight outside. No one was charged until the one white guy who thre the first puch was charged weeks later. The fight was 3 on 3, per Bailey's version of the story. And NOT an all white party, watch the video with Baliey's Mom - Bailey tried to use the fact that other blck friends were there to justify his not leaving)jfizz313 via youtube

yea my cuzin was ther at the time awser this since what i said origanly was to long why was the black kids charged with asault and staling the shot gun if it was pulled on themmidnightriderbw via youtube

If you know people there, then you probably know that even Bailey's version of the story at the store says he and his friends were going to kick the guys butt. That is why they approache dhim in the first place. As Bailey's Mom said, they saw him, and "it was on". It was ruled that he pulled the weapon in self defense and never used it, it was taken from him before he pointed it at anyone, even according to Bailey's story. Bailey admits they assaulted him. That is why he wasn't charged.DirtyDiamondclaw via youtube

fuck youjfizz313 via youtube

all that is false the guy was with his sister when he went to his truck and grabed the shot gun stop trieng to make it look like bailly did every thing rongmidnightriderbw via youtube

That was Bailey's statement. They don't deny that they saw him and went to him to whip his ass. I'm not making that up. That's Bailey's version. Watch the clip with his mom. Even she says that's what they were going to do, to get him back for the Fair Barn incident.kbrummell via youtube

Jenaismyhome, I understand that at least one of those boys was invited to that barn by a white girl. If you're embarrassed by your racist churches & town, you need to start behaving like civilized people in the 21st century! How can you call yourselves christians? We're coming by the thousands!Justusspeaks via youtube

I've got daughters 11 and 13 years old who think ghetto fabulous is the thing to do because their 22 year old sister lives that way and has nothing to show for it. We as blacks need to remind our children that if the white folk have their way racisim will be a way of life again. Educate our youth! I at 46 am amazed at how many of our children don't know what our parents and grandparents fought and died for! Let the fight not be lost or forgotten!!!Mslaydi via youtube

Justusspeaks, the reasong the young don't know is because the 46 year old etc don't teach them.FromJena via youtube

Yeah, some of his friends were invited. But Robert Bailey WASN'T and he'd teamed up with several of his buddies (like he seems to do) and beat up one guy who had alot of close friends at that party. You should start behaving civilized. You're too fuckin stupid to look at the other side of the story, the one that is actually backed by facts. And come by the thousands to Jena, just don't get out of line. There'll be a state trooper there to cuff your ass.jfizz313 via youtube

you dumb the guy that was jumped is almost 21 in high school and you know the white witneses not gone blaim the white guy for him geting a deserves ass wipinAlphamale69 via youtube

I agree Myslaydi. We must teach the children because you know they won't get it in schools. That is one thing I admire about the jewish people, they never let the world forget about the holocaust. People always tell us to "get over" slavery. I refuse to stop talking about our struggle. It's sad that BET can't/won't help in this area, but you have GOT to make them know their history or everything our ancestors fought for will be lost!Alphamale69 via youtube

It seems to me that people aren't getting it. White people created Racism, and this so called society, and they wonder why people feel mistreated!!sickofreporters via youtube

The media fails to mention that some of the young men charged have juvenile records and were on probation when they attacked a white student. The media fails to report that the FBI has investigated this case and cannot find any wrong doing on the DA's part.hmurchison via youtube

The FBI investigating this could be a potential Posse Comitatus violation. The juvenile records certainly don't help the Defendants nor absolve them from their actions but Aggravated Assault and and Conspiracy charges should be left for people actually using dangerous weapons and colluding to commit crimes. This crime of passion could have been prevented had the absurd idea of a "whites only tree" been abolished from jump and the "nooses" issue been taken seriously. Jena has problems.sickofreporters via youtube

The FBI was unable to press charges. It did not fall under a "Hate Crime" because of a "3 prong Test".sickofreporters via youtube

1.Was there a threat 2.Was it motivated by bias 3.Did it interfere with a federally protected activity?

No it did not. Therefore it is not a Hate Crimedebbiecoswas via youtube

it is hard for me to understand why people hate black americans this is our country to help me understand as a black american women why this is stil happening in 2007 why as black americans do we stil have to justify ourselves whyAlphamale69 via youtube

sickofreporters, you have only to look at the history of the FBI during the '60's to know that it is not the most honest & trustworthy organization. The FBI not finding anything wrong about hanging nooses is a good example of their lack of enforcing the law. Hanging nooses is a federal crime.sickofreporters via youtube

That was the 60's. The agent who came to Jena was Black. He could'nt find any misconduct on the DA's part.sickofreporters via youtube

Let me correct myself, the agent was white. The U. S. Attorney investigating since the incident was black. His name is Donald Washington of the western district of Louisiana.FromJena via youtube

I don't think this was a Hate Crime. A simple crime of passion that has been blown out of proportion. The DA hasn't done anything wrong because asking for outlandish charges is simply a tactic to get a higher sentence much like the seller jacks up the selling price in hopes of making the sale at a decent price after discounting.sickofreporters via youtube

I was referring to the Noose incident. The FBI could not consider it a hate crime because of the "3 prong test"wtmayberry via youtube

I cant beleive that A PAIR OF SHOES can be a deadly weapon.What is wrong with this world?????????????????Alphamale69 via youtube

Yes "that was the '60's" but still there are people hanging nooses & getting away with it. The FBI are still as crooked as they were in the '60's. How can they say it wasn't a threat?? The bias was white's "ownership of a tree" against the blacks. Federally protected activity? How vague is that?? The FBI clearly wanted to avoid further racial unrest in Jena. Like the librarian they are saying it was just a prank. Those boys who hung that noose knew EXACTLY the message they wanted to send.Alphamale69 via youtube

Bell should've never been tried as an adult. He was 16 at the time of this incident. This whole thing will ultimately be thrown out based on the incompetent and inept judicical system in Jena.Alphamale69 via youtube

Just like certain groups of people haven't changed, the FBI has not changed. They are just as racist and one sided as ever. This little town will be exposed for the cesspool of racism that it is!FromJena via youtube

Well, I'm afraid that anybody who says ANYTHING that contradicts what YOU say is wrong or corrupt. Real smart one we got here.Alphamale69 via youtube

wtmayberry, in La, the law states that for this type battery charge, there has to be a weapon, so the weapon is a tennis shoe! There are no witnesses to this assault with the shoe though. I hope you go to Jena on the 20th with thousands of others. Check Baisden's website for bus rides.FromJena via youtube

No witnesses? Carry your stupid ass to the Lasalle Parish courthouse. I did. Around 35 witnesses saw this happen and named NAMES of the Jena 6. Your argument is pathetic. You don't care if you're telling people lies, all you care about is furthering your agenda.Alphamale69 via youtube

The FBI agents' color has nothing to do with this. They are supposed to follow procedure. It seems as though since these were white teens involved in hanging nooses, they would overlook it. The FBI is still corrupt and dirty as ever. Nothing has changed. Look at the government itself.midnightriderbw via youtube

Again, how often do blacks get charged with hate crimes? You are talking about them not being charged because they are white, I still say if 6 whites attacked a black kid in a racially motivated attack the Feds would be on it.jfizz313 via youtube

the feds butwe not tALKIN ABOUT THE FEDS THE FEDS NOT CHARGIN HIM ITS THE WHITE PEOPLLE IN JENA THAT WERE RISED TO BE RACIST DOING ITSANDRA00000000 via youtube

this is a racist place wow.midnightriderbw via youtube

WRONG. The only POSSIBLE crime with the nooses is a Hate Crime, which is a federal charge and cannot be prosecuted locally. The Feds HAVE to press that charge. They investigated and chose not to. The only thing "Jena" could have done (like a whole town thinks a like any way) is the Lasalle school board and superintendent could have (and should have) upheld the principal's decision to expell them. You want a criminal charge, talk to the Feds.midnightriderbw via youtube

Aggravated Assault, or violent crimes perpetrated locally, ARE in the local jurisdiction. That is why the DA is after them, as well he should be. It is his job. Just because they committed a crime on school grounds that would be aggravated assault if it was on the street doesn't make them innocent. Nor do any bad words or bad attitudes any whites gave them.FromJena via youtube

Wow, we got a real smart one, here.anthony68drake via youtube

Why does the black community celebrate their thugs? Why do they clamor in support of racist acts? Why are they quick to condemn innocent whites like in the Duke Lacross case but blind to their own folly? Across this nation, the white, Hispanic and Asian victims of rampant black racism cry our for justice. Do you think your reign of terror will last forever oh guilty black community? Heal the violent sickness in your own hearts oh black American before Satan owns you all.sapjohns via youtube

You sir are a sick individual. I hope you get the help you need, because you're words are deplorable and have no place on this site.jfizz313 via youtube

thy did one thing rong and that was live in gina i was ther with my cuzzin and we went in a store the man in the store actid like we shouldent be ther then the police told us to go back to our side of townFromJena via youtube

Haha, that proves you're not from Jena. One, the eye witness was a cashier who was a WHITE woman. Also, that store has more black customers than white. They'd be STUPID to act like you shouldn't be there.jfizz313 via youtube

dont even know wat store im talkin aboutAlphamale69 via youtube

Good luck with the Feds. They are about a corrupt bunch as anybody. Take the FBI...PLEASE!!!Alphamale69 via youtube

anthony, you don't think hanging nooses is a racist act? Regardless of what the KKK/FBI says, you KNOW what a noose symbolizes! Get off your soapbox of how whites do no wrong. How long has whites' "reign of terror" lasted? When will it end? It's coming to an end very soon, because you my friend are about to become the new minority!FromJena via youtube

A noose is a racist act. But the FBI came in and investigated the incident a week after it happened. They said an act requires 3 elements to make it a hate crime. The noose hanging did not have one element: the use of force. So they didn't prosecute anyone. And this new minority thing...is hilarious. You sound as bad as these white power guys trying to spout all of that garbage. It's very funny.fireite605 via youtube

If it were white kids who beat up a black kid then the FEDs whould have done thing... Forget them racist mo'fos...FromJena via youtube

Quit turning this around on the white people. Six black students kicked one white student while he lay unconscious on the ground. They kicked and punched him in the HEAD while he was just laying there. If these guys are your beacon of hope for racial equality in this country, you should be very concerned.jfizz313 via youtube

no thy dint first of all baily is almost 21 in high school and his only thing rong with him was that he had a black eye and all 6 werent fighting him it was 3 i qust you just make up yo own stuff from some of what you hear thy shouldent get 22 years for that fight and he should go to jail for puling a gunmidnightriderbw via youtube

Your full of shit. Not even trying to say anything resembling what actually happened. Not even the defendants version resembles what you just said.jfizz313 via youtube

he did leav the hospital with a black eye are you studpid i know some od them and he even sais in a interview he left that night with a cuncusion and black eye so i dont know what you talkin aboutsgoveia via youtube

The point is not that these young men represent a beacon of hope; rather, if the tables were turned, i.e., if six white kids attacked a black kid, the white kids would NOT be charged with a crime, let alone a felony that could bring years of jail time.mojohnhammer via youtube

That is silly too. In this super charged racial atmosphere we live in, you think 6 white kids could really pul off this kind of obviously racially motivated attack without severe penalties. That's outlandish.wisdom1221 via youtube

the answer is YES!milkrocket via youtube

it is very very sad to see people still wasteing time on racism, rather than just get along and realise racism is actually just a color!!! and a whole bunch of stereotypes, ever thought about actually getting to know the people behind the color? you are all goin round an round in circles, but if you wana waste your life pointing fingers at each other an stiring up more hate thats your problem, im so glad i live were i do, it's a disgrace to see that this type of thing is still very alive !Binkychamb via youtube

I used to feel indifferent toward all types of racism but now I'm fed up! I'm sick of African Americans being treated like dirt because of our skin color. This nation was built by the blood and sweat of our ancestors. We have struggled and been through so much that it is a blessing that we are still alive today. We did not ask to be brought to America. We were shackled and bought here. Give us respect! How can we overcome if you won't give us a chance?!1Millionx via youtube

FromJena is going to tell you how the blacks have VIOLENT records. But stupidly also admits that the white kids weren't charged for a "VIOLENT" crime but were going to get expelled BUT it was over turned AND the white boy with the shotgun wasn't charged (damn, I can swear that a crime) PLUS wasn't punished in any form for hanging nooses! Hell, thay WON'T charge white kids with shit! Of course they have clean records!!!!midnightriderbw via youtube

The white guy wiht the gun was assaulted by three people. The assaulter's own testimony says a much. And the nooses are not a violent crime. COULD be a "hate crime", but that is federal jurisdiction. the FBI looked at it and chose not to charge them.iteapro via youtube

them boys should get a slap on the wrist, not some crazy ass shit like 25 to fuckin life, WTF? they fought in a skool, i say like a 3 weeks suspension would have been as far as it should have wentmidnightriderbw via youtube

They weren't fighting in this case. they have already gotten plrnty slaps on the wrists for ongoing fights. That's one thing that many are ignoring. The fights WERE getting much less punishments, to the point that Jena 6 defenders don't want to even acknowldge that. Htis wasn't a fight. The victim was out cold before he knew what happened and the majority of the damage was done while he was lying unconscious. that's not a fight.blahsticks via youtube

and if you had any brain you would realize that someone who is knocked unconscious would never be released from a hospital in two hours and be well enough to attend a social function.mojohnhammer via youtube

Thta's stupid, blahsticks. I've seen people kocked cold in football, get stretchered off the field, suffer the effects of a concussion for a week or two, and spend not more than an hour or so under medical supervision. To say the fact that he was released that evening shows he wasn't unconscious is very ignorant.Alphamale69 via youtube

What FromJena didn't tell us is that the "10" witnesses to the white boy's beat down were ALL WHITE! Bell's dad has been on Mike Baisden's show giving the REAL facts.midnightriderbw via youtube

Yes, he of the 5 violent crime convictions. His father is so reliable. Agian, why are Bell and Bailey always involved in the violence? I thought it was "balcks" and "whites"? Why does it seem to be certain thugs on either "side" involved in all of this?FromJena via youtube

Again, Bell's dad has lived in Texas for about 10 years until this case got media attention. Now he's suddenly a Jena scholar? Hmmm. Your information source isn't very credible. And can we just ASSUME that just because 10 witnesses were white that they were lying under oath? YOU are the racist, Al-female.Alphamale69 via youtube

Who's to say the previous charges against Bell weren't trumped up like this one? I don't trust Jena Justice. Bell's dad is more credible than You & that Fromjena. What happened to the mayor? Was he "silenced?"FromJena via youtube

Yeah, it's highly likely that Bell just committed 5 violent criminal acts in less than two years but they were ALL trumped up. The judge just pulled the charges out of his ass because he was black. Bell's dad is more credible? Hell, Mr. Jones has been in TEXAS for 10 years or so. He only popped in as this story was getting media attention. Yeah, he's a Jena SCHOLAR and knows the entire situation. No wonder your facts are so skewed.Alphamale69 via youtube

Midnight, what makes YOU so reliable? I can tell by your many comments, you aren't objective and all about the facts. It will all be sorted out though.FromJena via youtube

It WILL all be sorted out. Until then, I'll call you on every inaccurate statement you make in here.Alphamale69 via youtube

I'm just concerned about the fate of the mayor since he was excluded from the town meeting. Is he still alive? Can you answer that? Give me his name. I'll research him.Alphamale69 via youtube

Listen to that hypocrite praying in the video. Then they lynch a brother! Hypocrites!lysbaby via youtube

this is RiDiCULOUS. it makes me very upset as a human being to see something like this. a few kids were fighting in a school fight i heard of today, the most they get is SUSPENSiON. the 6 kids from jena dont deserve this. whoever is responsible for their punishment is DUMB. i dont care who they are.its stupid and some kids who were standing up for themselves are in jail. dumbest thing ive ever heard of in my life. and tha wack jena ppl should be ashamed of themselves.KakalikaG via youtube

It is not good that the six young men beat him. But, for over years racially motivitated assaults occur in Jena. Since black did not receive the justice and protection they rightfully deserve, the high schoolers to matters into their own hands. They could have made better choices but, again, since the town was racially biased against them, their options were limited.KakalikaG via youtube

Im not a lawyer, but maybe they could argue that they felt their lives were endangered by the presentation of nooses in the trees, the rifle event and the authorities refusal to execute justice in their favor. Or maybe they could plead temporary insanity because of the frustration and dejection caused by Jena's ongoing racial hostility from the towns 85%white community.poushk via youtube

katrina was premedited. period.gatorman4890 via youtube

stupid jigmojohnhammer via youtube

What if their provacateurs were provoked? Does that make it right? What if these guys had been fighting for months and months and finally got brought down? Or should we just look at this case as isolated? Either way, the defendants don't look very good here.lunky2 via youtube

Becausethey can't even see the acts of the arrest today with that Bfemale in her hospotalafter being held for a week being tortured by 6white people in West Virgina as ajim crow justice(noose) they had better get ready...!mojohnhammer via youtube

These threads have nothing to do with 6 sick and twisted Hillbillies. They will probably get hate crime charges on top of all the other crazy crap they did. How disgusting of you to compare the two things.jayisajus via youtube

I agree the two cases are different and it is sad to use this womans torture as another means of justifying a lot of the crap you have been on here spreading. This is about your own personal agenda and you will attack anyone who does not agree with you Lunky & alphamale.gatorman4890 via youtube

hang em high witchita massacrejsprev via youtube

So, you support racist attacks on Whites. Fuck you! Typical!Alphamale69 via youtube

Jay, whom have I attacked? You started with ME! Remember? You didn't like what I was saying and felt the need to admonish me. We are both entitled to our opinions. As I said before, I am NOT your enemy.jayisajus via youtube

You felt that we are both entitled to our own opinion so much so that you felt the need to send me a private email. You are angry because I said this was organized to be a peaceful protest and if all you wanted to do was be violent then you should not come. You made innuendos about rioting during the march and I said it was wrong and I will continue to say that we as a people are far to intelligent to believe that the only way to make a point is with our fist.Alphamale69 via youtube

One does not have to be a Jena "scholar" to know what's going on there. It's just a matter of filtering out the bias and hate. Then you're left with the truth.FromJena via youtube

You've filtered out only what counteracts your argument. You're not looking for truth, all you are looking for is anything that will make the situation spun into your favor. You've cited none of your sources to me. Until you do, I'll call bullshit on what you say.Alphamale69 via youtube

Craig Franklin, editor of the Jena Times wrote an article entitled, "Prepare for the worst-Pray for the best." What's he talking about? It says that 7000 people will fill a city block..10,000 & you won't be able to move inside the main area of town. We are going to shut Jena down! Thank us for giving you a day off work. Jackson estimates 22-40000 will attend. I say it will be more than that. Where will those people go???missthang111 via youtube

Stop the madness! Enough is enough! We must all take a stand because this is not a black thing, it is not a white thing, standing up for The Jena Six is the right thing!FromJena via youtube

Actually, standing up for fair rights is the right thing. Standing up for 6 kids who violently kicked and punched a kid while he was unconscious and laying on the ground is NOT the right thing.franklong24 via youtube

the thing was 6 boys jumped on 1 boy thats what the big deal is. yeah they given out time like that in Texas as well white on white and black on black. case is they had no reason for 6 men black or white should jump on to one person. It seems like we are using that to make it right that they stomped the white boy outjrrayjr via youtube

What the hell is going on here? I have fought white people as well as black people but never in a million Years or make it a couple of hundred would I ever think I could go to jail for 80 freakin years..just for fighting...this country needs to get their heads out of their asses...you can post all the words in the world but you can never justify what jena is doing to these kids..mojohnhammer via youtube

80 years? You are crazy. And why do you think it waas a fight? What part of that is a fight?jrrayjr via youtube

you cannot sit here and say well he kick the guy in the head he should go to jail....the kid survived an apparent ass whooping and to think he is still alive...no one went to jail for the ass whooping that Emmett Till received and he died from it...this whole thing is a joke except there are lives at stake and its not that funny..jrrayjr via youtube

...I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the kids probably didn't touch one hair on this guys head...MLKJR is turning in his grave, JFK is turning in his Grave, Bobby Kennedy is turning in his grave and Fredrick Douglas is looking down saying nothing has changed. racism aint it a bitchjrrayjr via youtube

Justin hit his head on the concrete when he fell! They don't tell you that though.NatTurnerJr via youtube

Tell me this, if 40 people saw these dudes kicking poor Justin, why did they not help him?? I heard there were some students blocking them. How many? This story does not make sense at all, but in the old regime you didn't have to make sense, did you? The jig is up!mojohnhammer via youtube

They did help him. Doors were being held shut, long enough for some kicking and hitting, then it was broken up. That is why they didn't hurt him worse. It's not like they just let up on him. They held off help for a bit, then high tailed it.FromJena via youtube

Yes, doors were being held closed to the gym to prevent people from helping. The ones holding the doors were never charged with anything. I think that's bull, they should be arrested as an accomplice. You can't do that.Highlen via youtube

America as not change one bit no wonder other countries don't give an rat ass about if are cities get blown up by these so called "terrorist" because we terrorize are on Americans don't matter what color we do just some get the wrong end of the stick then others. And this proves it.Highlen via youtube

Yeah, they probably do see how horrible our country is when they see 6 high school students gang up and kick another high school student while he lay unconscious on the ground. What a poor representative of the lone superpower we are.marakayah via youtube

Shalom, When are our 400 years (Gen.15:12-16)of curses(Deut.28:15-68) going to be over? Obviously they're not over yet cause we're still being treated as our ancestors that were thrown onto those ships (good ship jesus etc.)into this captivity (Deut. 28:68)Time to praise YAH! HALLELUYAH!mojohnhammer via youtube

Damn, Abram died only 400 years ago? And African-American's are tryong to get to Canaan? I thought the fact that this was supposed to happen 400 years after Abrams death, the talk of going Canaan after the 4 generations of slavery and hardship (haven't heard many "african-americans" clamoring to go over there), and the fact that those books were written by and for Jews meant they were talking about Jews.youwish6969 via youtube

Whites are going to see the "new" blacks from now on. We've been sleep, but the Jena nooses awakened the sleeping giant. If you thought you hated us before, you ain't seen nothing yet!FromJena via youtube

I don't believe the nooses were ever hung. I see no videos or nothing. VERY suspicious to me. NOOSES? WHAT NOOSES?jayisajus via youtube

The nooses these racist in training admitted to hanging, thats what nooses.FromJena via youtube

But according to this girl, there's no VIDEO showing the beating of Justin Barker, so she questions that it ever even happened, despite SCORES of people filling out eye witness statements saying it happened. Why not apply the same theory to the nooses?FromJena via youtube

ATTENTION: More evidence of how perfect these angels are called the Jena 6. Go to SmallTownPapers (dot) com and click on "The Jena Times". In the Search For box type "Carwin Jones Jail October". It'll pull up an article in the Jena Times showing that Jones was arrested for aggravated battery in ANOTHER unrelated incident on October 23rd. I think a clear propensity for violence is starting to take shape for many of the Jena 6.FromJena via youtube

Of course, all of the racists are gonna have a field day with this one. They'll say he was charged too harshly because of the horrible white justice system, or THOSE charges HAVE to be bogus. If it doesn't further their agenda, it's a lie.jayisajus via youtube

Funny, but you do have a point how were all these people locked outside the doors, that had to be on heck of a window for forty people to be able to look through it all at once, and nobody bothered to help. The Jena six must be super human 40 people could not get through the doors but 40 could watch through a window, some thing just is not starting to add up.FromJena via youtube

Actually, most of the witnesses were already outside under the breezeway. But yes, there are several huge windows right there by the door.wiljun1 via youtube

I was born in 1951 in Alexandria, Louisiana and racism is still alive and well today in Louisiana and this nation. This is not an African American issue rather and "AMERICAN ISSUE". All American should be outraged. Stop injustices ? Let's work on a "MILLION PERSON MARCH/SIGNATURES ON WASHINGTON LIKE DR. KING WOULD HAVE DONE!!! Free these 6 young African American young men and let them become successful citizens.FromJena via youtube

No, MOST of the eye witnesses were already on the breezeway outside of the gym. But yes, there are several huge windows right by the door. And the way the doors work, all you have to do is pull the long handle upwards and no one can push the button down to open on the other side. It's not about strength. Your noose story sounds made up to me. What nooses? I see no video showing nooses.FromJena via youtube

So instead of trying to help, you're saying people should have been taking pictures and videos with their camera phone instead? This most likely happened very quickly. No one probably had time to take a picture of it.Alphamale69 via youtube

wiljun, i hope you march with us on the 20th, next Thursday. It's gonna be huge! When we finish there, we're going to the next racist hot bed.Alphamale69 via youtube

The witnesses of the alleged beat down went from to 10 to 40 to SCORES! Who was minding the general store? There was never any 6 on 1. A story concocted by Justin to save face after getting his bell rung. But he's a real trooper, he went and got his ring. FromJina, you still haven't told everybody the girl's name who invited the guy to the barn that night. Why would he have gone to a private all white party in Jena? Doesn't add up.FromJena via youtube

Actually, there are almost 40 eye witness statements total. 11 pointed out Bailey as the attacker; 7 pointed out Shaw and Bell, while 6 pointed out Jones. I have no CLUE what the girl's name who "invited him over" that night. I've never heard anyone say or admit that they invited him. Did you read that off one of your sites that spreads only one side of the story? Hmmm...more unverifiable information.jayisajus via youtube

You said on the other thread you knew the girls family, now you do not even know the girls name. From Jena you are shady and no one should believe your so call facts cause they keep on changingFromJena via youtube

What? I don't know the girl's family and I NEVER said that. I don't even know who she is. You accuse me of lying then lie yourself. You carry off this innocent image but it's clear what your intentions are.jayisajus via youtube

I got two of your post mixed up and thought you were talking about the girl who gave the invite and Justin's girlfriend. But you do have a habit of selectively giving out so called witness statements.FromJena via youtube

Actually, I've mentioned eye witness statements just as they are. If you'll NOTICE I DO state when I think the other side is right. I think Bryant Purvis should be released and not charged, based on what I know. I've said that on here. I think the others are guilty as SIN, based on what I've seen.Alphamale69 via youtube

I will humor you. What made the murderers stop murdering Justin if no one could get in? Why is he still walking around? The National Black Caucus is gonna eat this court alive!FromJena via youtube

Actually, according to eye witnesses, his close friend threw Robert Bailey and Theo Shaw off of him. Then one of them hollered "teacher" when the coach started running towards the fight. So they all scattered. Hmmmm, I wonder why they scattered.jayisajus via youtube

Cause it was a fight and a teacher was coming, these are kids duhFromJena via youtube

I'm just telling you what it says, DUHAlphamale69 via youtube

Does anybody here besides Jena people know how to make a noose? And if so, why? You just happen to say one day, "Hmmmm...I need a noose!" Nooses have but one purpose. Do ALL parents teach their children this skill? My dad showed me how to make & fly a kite.bayouclay via youtube

ALPO, you know who your dad is?FromJena via youtube

Sounds like he taught you how to draw a rainbow, too.Alphamale69 via youtube

If I were Justin, I'd be mad as hell if half the town just watched while I got my ass beat. Sounds like the judge and DA should be punishing YOU witnesses! LOL! This is fun. I'll bet this is the way court proceedings go. One ridiculous statement after another.jtbikers via youtube

Jail the Jena6 and their racist ways.roohah via youtube

That was just a good old fashion ass whipping.How many white men were jailed for the hangings?FromJena via youtube

None, they were KIDS not men, and the FBI was in town to investigate a week after the noose hangings and said they would not press charges.roohah via youtube

uh newsflash the verdict for BELL WAS OVERTURNED YOU IDIOT!FromJena via youtube

Oh thanks, I'm glad I could predict that turn of events. Give me my magic ball back.gradeA1972 via youtube

I think that this case is ridiculous, it is truly a case of the way the judicial system works in the southvrede420 via youtube

AP, 9/14/07: A state appeals court threw out the only remaining conviction against one of the black teenagers accused in the beating of a white schoolmate in the racially tense Jena, LA. Mychal Bell, 17, should not have been tried as an adult, the court said in tossing his conviction on aggravated battery, for which he could have gotten 15 years in prison. His conspiracy conviction in the December beating of student Justin Barker was already thrown out.FromJena via youtube

He may have an even tougher hurdle when he reaches juvenile court, as this is his 5th violent criminal act. He's facing the possibility of going to juvenile prison until he is 21. JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN BARKER!Alphamale69 via youtube

This boy learned a valuable lesson. He should spread the word.aktluvstoshop via youtube

this is just so racist i say if the black ppl go to jail the whoite need to 2FromJena via youtube

ATTENTION: Theo Shaw and Mychal Bell implicated by seven eye witnesses. Carwin Jones implicated by six eye witnesses. Jesse Beard implicated by 3 eye witnesses. And last but CERTAINLY not least, Robert Bailey was implicated by ELEVEN witnesses. These are all individuals who saw each one of the Jena 6 kick or punch Justin Barker while he was unconscious.FromJena via youtube

Read what I put above. Robert Bailey was reported by ELEVEN eye witnesses saying he was kicking Justin Barker in the head and kneeling down punching him in the head. It's PAINFULLY obvious that he was involved and it clearly shows Bailey's propensity for violence. Since Bailey was involved with EVERY OTHER violent incident in this case, hmmmm it makes you wonder who the instigator was.bwlong via youtube

i am down for freeing jena six, but what next. where do we go from there. us as african american need to stand up and get ourselves together and stick together. the funny thing is and note this; before the jena six accident we kept our own race in bondadge. killing ourselves. where's the justice in that, but when they come along and do the same, now we wanna be one.Alphamale69 via youtube

Like I said before, the only way Bell is doing any more time, is if Justin is his cell mate and I don't see that happening. They both walk or they both do time, but Bell has already done his. We want compensation for time served.FromJena via youtube

Actually, I've heard that 5 violent criminal offenses for a juvenile means automatic juvenile detention until the age of 21. I haven't researched this myself, but you should be very worried. His judge and jury will now be Judge Mauffray, who has seen Bell in his court 5 times. Not good for Bell.jayisajus via youtube

Of trust me between his legal team and all the eyes that are going to be watching, Mauffray can misuse his power if he wants, we will be going back to the higher courts until, the punishment fits the crime. So your great white hope for legally hanging these kids is being watched.SoulFlower69 via youtube

I dont care if he has seen BELL 25 times...He better judge this ACCORDING to Law. This is a high school fight about RACE, not an act of "attempted" murder. Black people are ORGANIZED on this one!istjusme via youtube

He cares if he's seen Bell 25 times. Every judge weighs past behavior in their decision. Isn't our whole justice system partly based on past behavior? This is not a high school fight, this is a high school beating! No, this probably was NOT attempted murder, but it was clearly aggravated battery.FromJena via youtube

And I asked my lawyer friend today the other day. You can't file for a change in venue for a juvenile case.FromJena via youtube

Yes, the white guy was the instigator. He pled guilty to assault and ADMITTED he was the instigator.jayisajus via youtube

And got a slap on the wrist, funny how every white person in this case did except the black ones.FromJena via youtube

Actually, no one wrote names of people holding doors in any eye witness statements. Just a couple of them said they tried to get through and help but the doors were being held shut (to the gym). Yeah, a vid or pic would have left no room for the nooses, or Robert Bailey's "beating" at the Fair Barn, or any of the other incidents. Let's discredit EVERYTHING that happened and wipe the slate clean, since a video is the only proof that will work for you.jayisajus via youtube

None of the eyewitnesses could point out more than 3 of the 6. Only 1 person a female teacher, K. Martin and Coach Wayne Spence states that he was taking names of rowdy students in the gym during the lunch hour. "I had a list that Ms. Martin obtained from me," he wrote she asked him for a list of names. That is why only she could name all 6 later she was forced to admit that she never saw a single student touch Justin Barker. shadyFromJena via youtube

Actually, one statement says the following: "Bryant Purvis, Robert Bailey, Theo Shaw, and Jesse Beard was jumping Justin barker. They was kicking him and stomping on him but he was knocked out before they started kicking and stomping him." It is on Page 2 of a statement and it was received by the DA on December 5, 2005 (the day after the incident).bayouclay via youtube

jstark, dude, do yourself a favor and get a job b/c your musical abilities are shit.hypnofan35 via youtube

People are just like that, no matter where they are from. First day of the first grade, i had a teacher who was telling me i should be run out of the country and imprisoned. If confronted, she would have probably thought she was defending the existent social order. It has to do with "who has the right to do whatever to whom" and get away with it.river3782 via youtube

WHY CANT WHITES SAY THE N WORDhypnofan35 via youtube

Nazi or NeoCon is not a cool thing to call one another. These day they use the "R" word. It is "Republican" or "Satan in a suit". lolSoulFlower69 via youtube

Because it will get your nose broke.FromJena via youtube

Yeah, violence is the way to go. Look at the Jena 6. They used violence. Sounds like they're your kinda guys.autum1515 via youtube

i can't believe they cut down tree, it was a nice tree! oh and how many black students ended up going to the hosital that day? hanging nooses is in poor taste but it's not illegal..however kicking someone's head in is very much illegal!!tbenjamin629 via youtube

Uhhh...it is illegal. FEDERAL HATE CRIME STATUTE. And his head was hardly "kicked in"...a Black eye and facial lacerations(aka: scratches), would hardly qualify. Kids catch a worse beat-down at school every day of the week without being up for 100-years in Angola. What happened to school suspension? Only if you commit Federal Crimes, I guess.FromJena via youtube

Actually go to Google and type in "Donald Washington Town Talk" and click on the first link you see. This tells you WHY charges weren't filed. You can't blame Jena or Louisiana for the Federal government not charging the noose hangers. And actually, Barker's medical report on one paper under "Head Injuries", EVERY SINGLE symptom was checked off. I can list them for you if you want. It was hardly "cuts and bruises". It'll be online soon, not to worry. Then there will be little argument.SoulFlower69 via youtube

Black kids don't go to the hospital UNLESS they are unconcious for a length of time. Black kids use peroxide/alcohol/neosporin to heal their wounds. The white kid was WEAK from a good ass whipping that was FREE of the bottles that were used on the black kid a few days earlier. READ dumb dumb before you assume stuff.FromJena via youtube

Actually, Robert Bailey never put in his statement to the police that he got hit over the head with a beer bottle, nor did he make a hospital trip. In my humble opinion, I think the Jena 6 are WEAK because they kicked Barker in the head repeatedly yet he was out in 3 hours to attend his ring ceremony. And they play football!!!! Let's not talk about weak. It can be played both sides. You are ignoring facts.bummer57 via youtube

They cut down the tree (not the one pictured) because it stood for bigotry and absolute insanity. Violence is not the worst form of offense. Kicking someone's head in after he alone has been taunting you and your friends (one of which got beat up and got his head beat in with beer bottles by three white students who all got off with minor misdemeanors--no jail time)with racial slurs is justified.Bowwowsshorty09 via youtube

YOOO..Reading about this PISSED ME OFFAlphamale69 via youtube

There is no law against kicking someone in the head, just like there's no law against breaking a bottle over someone's head.FromJena via youtube

Well, there's a full medical report and about 35 eye witnesses proving the beating took place, yet no medical report and only Robert Bailey saying he got cracked over the head with a beer bottle, despite him conveniently leaving it out of his statement he filled out to the police. One is backed by ample evidence, one isn't. Why are you comparing the two?Alphamale69 via youtube

river, whites DO say the "N" word.Alphamale69 via youtube

PETA should be all over this for them cutting that tree down! How old was that tree? It's not right dog...it's not right.FromJena via youtube

Did you know that gay rights activists will also be here on the Thursday? Makes you wonder if one of the Jena 6 might have a bit of a sexuality conflict going on, too. Go ahead, pull up the article. Go to Google and type in "gay rights group Jena Six". Click on the second link you see. You think it's Mychal?istjusme via youtube

Why don't you people tell the complete story. Bell was already a probation violator when this incident took place. He already had a record of violent crime! Stop the racial accusations, and tell the complete story or shut up! Stop turning repeat offenders back out on the street in a state where black crime is already out of control!SoulFlower69 via youtube

Tell the COMPLETE story. istjusme you obviously did not listen to the truth. Forget about what a person did in his past...Is he GUILTY of this crime before him! That is what is wrong with the U.S. Judicial system, it has "good ol boy" mentalities behind it like yours, running the show..That stops on 9/20/07!istjusme via youtube

Look imbecile, the guy has a record of criminal violence. If something in not done, we'll be reading about him committing a murder down the line. You people need to tell all the facts, and stop making this a racial issue.jayisajus via youtube

You need to stop using Bells record to cover up this corrupt DA, and the corrupt trial. We could sit here and tell you that every juror was related to the victim and you would still call it fair. Let's just be real about it this is about completely ruining some black kids lives because they attacked a white boy. If this had been a black kid beat up by these black kids they would have never even been arrested.FromJena via youtube

Again, more assumptions that all white people are racist and want blacks to go to jail. Have you ever stopped to think "MAYBE THEY JUST WANT JUSTICE"?jayisajus via youtube

If all you want is justice then why all the corruption and bias. The DA does not want justice he wants a legal lynching and so do youFromJena via youtube

Prove that his motive was racially motivated.FromJena via youtube

Actually, 7 people wrote down on eye witness statements and reported to the police that they saw Bell either punch or kick Barker. He appears guilty to me, but I'm not a judge and jury.youngfella77 via youtube

We do not look for sympathy it comes to us by our good white folks.jayisajus via youtube

Why would you need to, you all get slaps on the wrist for the same crimes. If this had been 6 white boys that beat another white boy, they would have gotten a slap on the wrist or not arrested at all. The most would have been expulsion. This is about black and whiteFromJena via youtube

Are you serious? Six white boys would have been CRUCIFIED for that. What do you think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be saying if the reverse happened. They'd demand we locked them up and throw away the key. I'm about 99% sure of that.yanniha3 via youtube

Did you see that rendition of Dr. King's speech. Is that unreal or what. He sounds just like 'em. I uploaded it a few days ago. Click me and check it out. It'll move you! ....FromJena via youtube

Actually, ABOUT 40 people wrote out statements. Between 32 or 35 or so (DON'T QUOTE ME) actually wrote statements out saying they witnessed what happened. Actually, 11 exclusively pointed out Bailey, 7 exclusively pointed out Bell and Shaw, 6 exclusively pointed out Jones, and 1 exclusively pointed out Purvis (who I feel is innocent). Some of these people pointed out multiple.FromJena via youtube

I'm pretty sure Barker lives out in the sticks. Even if he doesn't, there is 13,000 people in this ENTIRE PARISH! Do you expect the jury to be randomly selected and NOT be kin or friends to ANYONE in this case? It's highly unlikely. This isn't New York. Our entire parish is a small fraction of a New York neighborhood.FromJena via youtube

Yes, it is true. Isn't it Bell's lawyer's job to point out that disparity? I'm not sure about the long-time friend but, again, I revert back to my last post. You can't expect people to not know anyone in this case being only 13,000 people in the entire parish.jayisajus via youtube

You are going to suggest that of 13000 people you could not find 6 that had no links to the DA or the Victim. Before my town became as populated as it is I did not know every one. That is just another excuse for not giving this oy a fair trialFromJena via youtube

You don't "find", the software program that they have RANDOMLY SELECTS a juror. It doesn't sniff out if the jurors are kin to any of the eye witnesses or people in the case. It's not an excuse, but valid logic.FromJena via youtube

Actually, a lady wrote on a piece of paper saying she graduated with Barker's father and the male juror and said she saw them one day at Airport Grocery talking like they were close friends. That was what Bell's attornies submitted to Judge Mauffray.FromJena via youtube

Actually, not at ALL!! It's amazing that, as you read the eye witness statements, a clear and concise vision of these guys instigating violence comes into the picture. It's VERY obvious they were the instigators in this particular incident.FromJena via youtube

That's horrible. They should have received a harsher sentence for that. But please don't compare that case to this one. These men were sentences, yet no one has been sentenced in the Jena 6 case, including Bell. His sentencing date was Thursday before the case was thrown out.jayisajus via youtube

Their were instances in this case where many had connections. Every person in that court room could have been related and FromJena would still say it was a fair trial. A person at the trial along with other witnesses saw Justin and his witnesses eating convivial lunch together, no doubt discussing their testimonies and if witnesses have links to Justin as well as the jurors what else did you think the verdict was going to be.FromJena via youtube

No, I've told you SEVERAL times that Mychael Bell did not receive a fair trail. It seems to go in ONE ear and out the other. I just blame the MAJORITY of the unfairness on his defense attorney. Do you expect everybody who testified to just NOT KNOW anybody related? People who know each other hang out with each other. DUH! Starting to make sense now?14Words14Words via youtube

Criminal record or not...you seem to be missing what they ar pointing out. It became a racial issue when that black kid got beat up at an all white party..or when white kids did a hanging demonstration under the tree...and others. So of course this is a racial issiemojohnhammer via youtube

But black kids committed a lot of crimes in this time too. And the fight at the party was nothing like the attack at school. That is according to Bailey. the one people are making claims abou tthat even he didn't report, like getting beat down by a group of people or being hit with bottles. There were all sorts of things going on, some got arrested , somme didn't, both black and white. This was a severe incidednt, carried out by hardore, repeat criminals.kbrummell via youtube

"HOT OFF THE PRESS" sen via youtube videosFromJena via youtube

Jesse Jackson gave a speech in Jena a week and a half ago. There are nearly 400 black members of our community here. Only 200 people showed up to hear him speak. And we can't safely assume that all were from Jena. Most of these guys are receiving very little support from ANYBODY in Jena, because everyone knows how they are, including the black community. I know this sounds farfetched, the way the media has portrayed this case, but it's true.whiteboybeat via youtube

that is ok, because jesse, mlk and al have got loads of people they have brain-washed.FromJena via youtube

Yeah, and if anybody wants me to email them EXACTLY verbatim what Robert Bailey put in his statement that night, just let me know. I have a copy of his statement he gave to the police.Smooth258 via youtube

Mojohnhammer U don't get it. The damage done to Justin barker, the white kid, according to ambulance officials was not even that severe. They're trying to give these boys up to 15 yrs in prison...yet in a very nearby town 3 white teens who beat up another white teen(suffered brain swelling and bleeding) were charged with small battery and got a slap on the wristFromJena via youtube

It became a racial issue when the media blew the story out of the water by one-sided stories and misleading comments. Yes, some things here weren't done they way they should have been. I agree. Those things should be made right. But the media has hopelessly swayed most people to think it's something that it isn't.Smooth258 via youtube

FromJena You've made some good points..I'll give you that. However what you're missing is that they even mentioned it on national television that the town is known for being racist. There are even some stores down there right now who won't allow blacks in. Isn't that against the law? And didn't an unknown arson burn down part of the school? Not sure if it was a specific section targeted. (Also read my previous comment made just a few minutes ago)kbrummell via youtube

why would you want to know the little girls name?FromJena via youtube

Because he heard a rumor in an article (like the ones that call Barker a white supremacist, and the ones who said none of the Jena 6 have ever been in trouble before) saying that a white girl invited him to the party.mojohnhammer via youtube

Even if she did, he didn't have an invitation when asked and refused to leave when told to. Anybody should know that is unacceptable behavior. I can't just show up to your party and say, someone else told me I could come, and even though you are telling me to leave, I'm staying, because I know people here." That's crazy.autum1515 via youtube

Simple.The sentences that are set , if these kids are found guilty.Isnt that enough proof.How would you rethink it if the sentece were set for you as a child?-FromJenaFromJena via youtube

It bothers me how everyone's argument is that 22 years is too much. IT IS TOO MUCH!! I agree, along with just about everyone in Jena. The severity of the crime isn't to such a degree as to give him or the others the maximum sentence. Yeah, he is a child, but he is a child who clearly needs SOMETHING to discourage him from the path he has apparently chose (4 prior violent criminal acts?). Do you think it is healthy for Mychal Bell to just be let go after what he has done?preciousKnowledge via youtube

and do you fromjena think prison is the answer?FromJena via youtube

With the violence associated with this crime, YES I absolutely do. AND NOT because he is black, but because I believe the school system should not be a place where people do this kind of crazy thing. The boy was not critically wounded, but to violently kick someone in the head while they are unconscious presents a SERIOUS danger to someone's health. So, if they are found guilty, they should receive SOME jail time. Of course anyone is open to their own opinion.FromJena via youtube

Because I can't tell the whole story in one comment. So I tell as much as I can. That is how our system works. You commit a crime, you get arrested and the judge gives you bail. If you can't afford the bail, you can't get released. This is what happens for everyone, not just the Jena 6. So that is why they stayed in prison so long.roohah via youtube

Uhhhh that would mean the bail was set to high for the crime!FromJena via youtube

I don't know if it was or not. I dont' have enough information to form an educated opinion about that. I'll try to pull up some other cases that had bail set and compare. And no, I won't use the rape & torture in West Virginia. Those people, if the media is reporting the truth, should not even be allowed bail. Or at least the ones who committed the more severe crimes.aserghj via youtube

fromjena. they stayed in jail so long because the racist judge set the bail extremly high full well knowing that his family didn't have the money to bail him out.The one thing that we are trying to get everyone to see. How many fights have you been in,(without weapons)and no life threatening injuries got you arrested with the possibility of life in prison(or anybody you know)?FromJena via youtube

You leave out certain statements that have major bearings on this case for instance: you talk about all the statements from 40 eye witnesses but never once mentioned the coach that saw the fight and contradicted those same statements.jayisajus via youtube

There is no point in you and I commenting to each other anymore. I have come to the realization that going back and forth on here with persons who's sole reason for existing is to hate a whole race of people. You will never see me as your equal.

Seriously, I'm ashamed to be white because of this sort of shit, especially some of the posts on this video.

How was it okay for an African American student to get jumped by multiple white men at a party and the white men don't get charged with anything, let ALONE attempted murder? Unlike the African American men who roughed up a white man?

That's ignorance. Seriously. I don't know what pristine white suburbs some of you come from, but open your eyes.mojohnhammer via youtube

"How was it okay for an African American student to get jumped by multiple white men at a party and the white men don't get charged with anything, let ALONE attempted murder?"

When he really isn't jumped by multiple men, and the ONE guy who intiated the physical aspct of it (Bailey's refusal to leave was the intial instigation) WAS charged, but you aren't being told all that.aserghj via youtube

who said that Bailey refused to leave the party?and if it's true.why weren't the police called so that he could be removed in a peaceful manner.oh! and mojohnhammer. the hanging of the noose was the initial instigation of all this insane mess.mojohnhammer via youtube

I disagree that the nooses instigated it all. There was tension before that between some groups. Hence the kid asking to sit there in the first place. That didn't come out of the blue, nor id it come from school policy. It came because he knew there was a group he wanted to piss off.

And yes, the police were called to the scene. they can't appear out of the blue. It takes a few minutes to get there, but yes they were called, and ALL parties fighting were made to leave.mojohnhammer via youtube

Back to the nooses instigating, they weren't even brought up in this till much later, when activists were coming down and all. Intitially and in all of the police reports and court documents, the nooses weren't metioned. The fight at the party and the gun incident (both of which were instigated by Robert Bailey) were mentioned, because Bailey claimed he was retaliating for getting beat up at the party. that is why he and his friends assaulted the guy who then went for his gun.mojohnhammer via youtube

"who said that Bailey refused to leave the party?"

Every witness there, including Bailey himself.HPJoker via youtube

6 black kids beat up on one white kid. That ain't racist. The kid just has a label on him that says BULLY ME like I did when I was a kid. Those kids should get jail time.

Bullied huh.You really take this personal then LOL--hpjokerULRE345H via youtube

The Jena 6 saga is a case of racial jingoism. The supposed white racist incidents; such as, the beating of Robert Bailey and the brandishing of a shot gun were reported by Robert Bailey. Mr. Bailey is one of the defendants thus hardly an unbiased source. However, the press has reported and repeated Mr Bailey's claims as fact while dismissing Justin Barker's beating as "alleged."jayisajus via youtube

If I was the principal of that school I would have let each and every black person take a jab at those boys that hung the nooses. I don't know if you understand this but the NOOSE represents DEATH. These racist fucks should be hung in those same nooses that they hung. Then MAYBE people will change their minds about how they act.tttom3 via youtube

I think that the guys shouldn't be charged with anything, they should just be suspended because it was a school problem. If anyone should be charge it should be the white kid(s). They are racist and you can sit under any tree you want. Whites are supposed to be smarter then that.nsjw2 via youtube

I believe that these young men should be charged. The whole story is not often told. The Bell gentleman has already been convicted of several felonies in the past. Six young men chose to jump on one white male. This white male was not even a part of the noose incident.roohah via youtube

He was --nsjw2nsjw2 via youtube

This the biggest travesty about racism that I have heard in a very long time...How can those teenagers get away with hanging nooses from a tree? And it was considered a PRANK?

but he was bragging about beating up some blk kidEddieFranklinProd via youtube

Like attacking an innocent white student six against one isnt Blantant racism. Your clearly being unfair and biased. Hanging nooses, while an act of racism, is non violent compared to beating a kid unconcious. MLK would be rolling in his grave. What happened to nonviolence?spring1978uk via youtube

Suckaplsmith07 via youtube

If they never would've hung nooses in the first place, then this wouldn't be happening. The fact that the school even tolerates having desgnated white areas in the school shows that racism is definitely prevalent there.

All I'm saying is that violence is not right but trying to kill someone with a gun and instead, charging those that took the gun from him is not right either. And if he was so "injured" then why was he at a social function the next night?EddieFranklinProd via youtube

pls I respect that you want to do the right thing here. But I must say that white people are going to feel under attack as well, All these accusations about racism from some incedents of a few students. This is not representative of all white people or white people in the south. I think the six should be punished and perhaps so should the ones who put up nooses. All this anger though is sad to me and I really think people need to calm downgr8leisure via youtube

02:44 ..and the town barbershop still refuses service to blacks.

Are they living in the dark ages?! Or the very least the 60's! Sounds like a bad place to live for all races. Where is the growth? The humanity? I didn't know things like that still happened and were allowed in 2007 :(dooderbocker via youtube

America will be a safer place with these 6 worthless pieces of shit in prison.

So next time someone calls me 'white boy' me and 5 of my friends can send them to the hospital and everyone will support us? AWESOME!

If you actually support these 6 pieces of shit you are a fucking brainwashed sheep.whiz57 via youtube

you sad sad person. how you veiw someone else tells how you feel about yourself. pitifulthairiley via youtube

Okay 1st off he was beat up for calling them "niggers" something that they are not. If someone called you a "white boy" which I believe you are, it wouldnt be racist DUMB ASS. You should stop watching so much Nascar and fucking your sister and take some time to read a book or something or better yet take whatever problems you have about black people and take them up with god because he made and loves us the same way he made you an asshole and loves you too!! RACIST BASTARD!!AK47MAG44 via youtube

You're not making your race look very good either. Maybe I'm offended by being called "whitey" just as you are by being called the "n" word.roohah via youtube

Now why would you be offended by being called white when that is actualy your race?Nigger is not a RACE.Period--ak4mag44AK47MAG44 via youtube

If I am supposed to say "african-american" then why can't I wish to be called "caucasian" or "white-american"? I'm not making a racial issue out of it, I'm not racist, I'm just stating.... I've got a lot of african-american friends who don't like even being called "black"AK47MAG44 via youtube

to thairiley: You're racially stereotyping people by your "You should stop watching Nascar and fucking your sister", directed toward whites, so that would make it OK for me to turn around and say "stop stuffing your face with chitterlings, get your welfare ass off the couch, put your 10 kids in daycare and go get a job" directed toward african-americans right? Thats what I thought, its not right, so guess what, I DONT. Dont call anyone racist when you make comments like that, RACIST BASTARD!thairiley via youtube

That was the point I was making and you obviously arent that bright because you didnt get thatAK47MAG44 via youtube

OK, I didn't just read your post, and your post didn't say "You should stop watching so much Nascar and fucking your sister" clearly pointed as a racist remark against whites. I guess I just can't make sense of that, after all I never did learn how to read or write, we spend so much time watching NASCAR ya know....gr8leisure via youtube

AK47MAG44, you were doing pretty good in your reply comment until the .."Dont call anyone racist when you make comments like that, RACIST BASTARD!" part.Rebeloutlaws via youtube

Yeah! That is exactly right!pestyy via youtube

Living in Phil. Miss. These young 6 are now getting a history lesson,Be careful where and who you fuck around with. If the woods around here could talk you would know better. "Your in our county now" ... inside joke for you all.HolyHipHopR via youtube

Negative there, young person. You are in Original Native Americans' country which was stolen by the Europian, Caucasian so-called settlers brought disease and pestilence. You need to read and get a history lesson. They will be freed and you will sit there with a dumbfounded look on your face like a 6 year old being beaten for trying to lie to his parents for stealing. If youwon't learn from your "white power" ignorance then we the military will come & do it for you. U.S. Marine Cpl C.A. Tracywhiz57 via youtube

thanks for letting the world know what we people of color live daily. i don't understand how a country can say we fight for equal rights of others in foriegn countries and yet we deny equal rights of AMERICANS in america. i will spread the word and i and my family will wear black tomorrowTracyj314 via youtube

Seriously, I cannot explain enough how embarassing majority of the white people posting here are. Many of you are making me ashamed to be white, you don't know ANYTHING about those 6 young men and you are calling them violent thugs. You are racist, and you should be disgusted with yourselves.drakkar613 via youtube

ugh stfu let the ppl be black if they wannamojohnhammer via youtube

What about those that know nothing about them but are supporting them? Unfortunately, around Jena, they are KNOWN as violent thugs. On here, they are THOUGHT OF as brave young men who stood up for themselves (when they were hated for how they acted moreso than the color of their skin anyway). Another slap on the wrist for the crew.chcketn8 via youtube

It is simply no longer the 1950s. Story's like this are in fact appalling and a huge embarrassment, not only to white Americans, but to Americans as a whole. It was around 1865 that slavery ended, but for some cold, and downright shocking reason, violence toward African Americans has not ended. This needs to be stopped.

Things are going to get worse for the blacks. Whites are not the dominant species on this planet for no reason. They are v
