Yeah, I reckon no one has bothered to see just how similar what has happened here in Jena ios to the desegregation of the Little Rock schools...

Yeah, talk about deja vu'... Here you have a bu8nch of white kids who think it is their God-given right to control a section of publicly owned property... In Little Rock it was the schools... Here, it was a shade tree...

But schools/shade tree the underlyin' statement that was being made was one of "white supremecy"... "Hey, we are white and therefore this is mine, mine, mine..."

Any arguments here???

Now, TO WIT: Black kids take exception, go to the school and say, "Hey, ain''t this like Jim Crow, 'er somethin'..." and the school says, '"Yeah, okay, kinda" but nuthin' much is done until the white kids threaten the black kids with the "noose", a symbol that not only represents hatred, racism but also a history of black people being lynched...

Any arguments yet???

Now, TO WIT, Part B: We have a community of white people who think that it was okay for their white kids to threaten the lives of black kids but not okay for black kids to defend themselves???

Hmmmmm???

This is what this case biols down to, folks...

Yeah, I reralize that this joint is made up of primarily white people who probably feel very uncomfortable talking about race... Probably??? Well, for the most part, not at all... I have tried unsecessfully to get the discussion going but most folks here run from it like "pigs from a gun"...

Well, here's my prediction... This will get settled and Bell will get out on bail, cop a plea to somethin' real low and get probabtion and white America will have dodged the bullet once again...

Man, this just ain't right...

(But, Bobert, white America is in control of the power...)

Still don't make it right...
