Subject: RE: BS: The Jena 6 Controversy
No, Dick... You are missin' Part A of the strory where the swastika was hung and the the4 grown ups in the community did nothing...

This is less about the Jena 6 than about the treatment that the white kids got for hanging the noose...

I don't think anyone here condone's the beating of the white kid, even though it should be pointed out that one of the Jean ^ black kids had been beated by a group of white kids just days before... And again, what was the response to the black kid gettin' beaten??? Nothing, that's waht???

This entire situation is about the dual system of justice and why we have two systems at all... Well, I'll tell ya why... It's because we have institutional racism in this country... Jena has proven that beyond any shadow of doubt...
