With regard to the desire that things go back to normal in Jena, Louisiana before Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and thousands of protestors came to that town for protest marches:

"Normal" was having the tree where only White students could sit. "Normal" is having White people get off with only a slap on the wrists if that for crimes they commit, while Black people get charged with and convicted of 20 years and other ridiculously long charges for the same or similar type of action.

What is normal in Jena is the fact that Mychel Bell, a Black teenager was charged with attempted murder for a teenage fight in which the White teen wasn't even hospitalized. Mychel Bell is still in jail on $90,000 bond. And I believe that he might still have had that attempted murder charge if bloggers and other advocates of justice- {I am referring to Black bloggers, White bloggers, and bloggers of other races} had not directed cyberspace attention and advocacy to this travesty of justice. Jackson and Sharpton are Johnny come latelys regarding this case. However, if they help to keep media attention to this case so that justice will finally be served and a better, equitable "normal" develops in the town of Jena-I say good on them.
