Jena Six
Thursday, September 27th, 2007There is no doubt that what the white kids did to the black kids in Jena was racially motivated. It may have been a bad joke or may have been for pure racial hate reasons.
The problem I see is why no one is addressing the opposite racial factor here. The “Jena Six” jumped a kid only for the fact he was white. It doesn’t matter what he did before, if he was involved or not, this was racially motivated. That makes what they did racially motivate and a racial attack. I do not see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson bringing that point up? Rather they would rather get more people thinking everything is racially motivated just so they can have a job. They are throwing fuel on the fire and not letting races get along.
They also call this a fight. When six people jump one person and knock them out and continue to attack them when they are knocked out, it is not a fight. It is an attack. How come the media is not covering this. No one has the right to do this to people. Now that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have successfully stirred another issue up, there cannot be fair justice. I admit they went very light on the white kids and they should not have.
That is just my two cents. This is an equal guilt issue, I do not see why it is becoming one sided. Also, I think it was on CNN that I saw a black minister bring these points up. I will try to find the transcript for you but he said that Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton are turning young blacks against whites by all the stuff they are doing. He also believes that it was not a fight and racially motivated. I commend his words.
Before you bash me I believe the white kids should be charged for the noose thing and the black kids should be charged for jumping the kid. That would be equal, not the murder charge he got now.
What do you think?
