Well, unfortunately you may get responses but at the same time you are not going to like what is going to be said, and I too had issue with the District Attorney’s statement as it was racist within itself but I do not hear too many people who have issue with this outside of us. Last week Shawn Yancy asked a question regarding this case and whether or not anyone thought the punishment fit the crime, well she received over 200 comments, mostly mine as the number crunchers have deemed, but still, the subject was changed from its original content when others posted their comments. Personally, I do not think you are going to receive many comments as this subject has been in discussion for some time now and it appears as if some people would like it swept under the rug. They have said all they wanted to say and most of them have issue with the black children beating up one lonely lowly white child, never mind about the tree, the district attorney statements or any of the other racial BLEEP that was going on in this town.

I respect your comments but I have an issue with the fact that everyone wants to condemn the black children for putting their hands on one lonely lowly white child, but the fact that the entire town knew about the tree and whether uninvited or not, was no cause for the white children to beat the black child. The noose hanging was a hate crime in which the children involved should have done some jail time but because they were white it was deemed a “prank”, how fair is that, not very in my book, this Jena 6 case stinks of racism but if blacks try to defend the position of the black children then we are racist and can only see what happened to them, not the whites. However, if I was to go around hanging white sheets that resemble KKK wear and then burned it, I would be under the jail if I ever made it that far because once arrested there is a possibility that I could have had a fatal accident on my way to the precinct or gotten shot 41 times for sticking my hands in my pocket for a cell phone to call my lawyer. What I am saying is that crimes were committed on both sides, yet only one side is being punished beyond the extent of the law. I personally want my UNITED STATES JUSTICE DEPARTMENT to do something about this District Attorney as he should not be allowed to prosecute any cases anywhere in the US or the World for that matter as he is prejudice as we all can see to make a state like that, where is the outrage.

Lil, the two kids in the beatings, neither incidents were directly related to the noose hanging. The black child arrived at a party, uninvited, that just happened to be all white. I have stated before, that gave nobody the right to put their hands on him. HE left when asked to do so, others though took it upon themselves to harrass him as he left shoving him. The white kid, wasn't directly involved with the nooses either, but only after he decided to be a nitwit and taunt the six black students about the issue, did he receive a beating. Again, neither of these kids deserved what either of them got. I totally disagree with the Jena six having the attempted murder charges filed against them, when it was basically a case of assault and battery. I think the punishment needs to fit the crime and last I checked, assault and battery wasn't punishable by what was originally put into writing. But thank goodness they didn't kill him, because six on one, that could have very well happened. Personally, I think that whole area needs some divine intervention. I also think an outside investigation needs to be done about the DA's conduct.

Racism will be around for years to come. Sadly, its a fact of life. But when I say that, I also know, that racism is not a one sided issue, its committed by all races. It's sad though, as we progress in so many other areas, that this one area we as a nation seem to stand still in.

I see a lot of playing of the racial card.
However, when I saw the news story of the Jena situation, it indeed upset me of how the blacks have been treated unfairly. Starting with the prosecutor, alot of people should lose their jobs.

Y3Y3, this one requires a chuckle...hehehehehe!

Now that the comedian is finished....let's not forget what the REAL ISSUE is in this blog!!!! Run-on sentences, incorrect grammar, spelling errors has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what's going on there. Now let's see if this DA is fired from his position or will it be swept under the rug.

this has been covered numerous times so far. WHY must we have to read thru the original posters poor grammar too? She could have posted to another of several blogs.

The comedian.
