This is not Photoshopped!!!Being from Louisiana, and understanding that Louisiana is probably the most (let me get my word book...) homogenius (sp) State of the 52, it really fries my fish when Louisiana gets painted as a "racist" State. Heck, we have Rednecks, coonasses, mullatos, black folks, red-bones, and regular old white folks like me...I am regular, old, and white (all of which will inter-marry if they're in love). We are a diverse population, and get along just fine (most of the time).
But this Jena Six controversy was a contrivation of black folks! I don't know how to say it other than that. These fellows from Jena that locked their classmate in the room, and kicked and beat the living crud out of him are just "thugs."
There is a really good article here.
Here are a few quotes:
Last September, 20,000 traveled to Jena to march against this prosecutorial outrage. Fortunately, however, there are still a few real journalists around. Among them are Craig Franklin, assistant editor of the Jena Times, whose wife teaches at Jena High, and Charlotte Allen, who wrote an extended piece for The Weekly Standard. According to Allen and Franklin, here are the facts and chronology you have been denied by the Mainstream Media.
There never was a "whites-only" tree at Jena High. Both races sat under it, though whites congregated there. The nooses, or lariats, were the work of three young teens, who got the idea from watching "Lonesome Dove" on TV, where rustlers are hanged.
Franklin says they were a joke aimed at white friends on the rodeo team. As they were painted in Jena High's gold and black, Allen reports that the kids said the nooses were directed at a rival school's Western-themed football team.
When school officials confronted them, all were remorseful. All had black friends, and none knew the nooses were offensive to blacks.
And:
On Dec. 1, however, Robert Bailey Jr. tried to crash a party at the Fair Barn in Jena. One Justin Sloan, 22, not a student, put a fist in his face. So witnesses and Bailey reported to police. And Sloan was prosecuted for battery.
On Dec. 2, Bailey and two friends jumped a white male entering the "Gotta Go" grocery. When the latter ran to get a shotgun out of his car, they wrested it from him and took it. So two witnesses at the "Gotta Go" agreed.
Two days later came the "schoolyard fight." Only this was no fight. Black students barricaded an exit to the gym and lay in wait for Justin Barker. As Barker went for another exit, he was struck in the head from behind by Mychal Bell. Multiple witnesses say Barker fell unconscious as a gang of eight or 10 blacks stomped and kicked him in the head. The assistant principal who reached Barker thought he was dead. Barker's emergency room bill ran to more than $5,000.
When the six were arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder, none of them and none of the witnesses mentioned the noose incident. It had had nothing to do with this vicious racist assault.
And: While some $500,000 has been raised for the Jena Six defense, its whereabouts is unknown. Bailey did pose on the Internet grinning, however, with $100 bills in his mouth. Bell's mom is said to be driving a new Jaguar, and Bailey's mom a new Beamer. Two other Jena Sixers, Carwin Jones and Bryant Purvis, appeared in rapper attire on Black Entertainment Television as presenters of a Hip-Hop Award.So what about Bryant Purvis...the hip hop award dude? Well, take a look at this article!
A few quotations: CARROLLTON, TX (AP) ― A defendant in the Louisiana "Jena Six" case was arrested after allegedly slamming a student's head into a bench at his new school in Texas, police said.
The defendant, Bryant R. Purvis, 19, was arrested on a charge of assault causing bodily injury Wednesday after an altercation at Hebron High School. It began because Purvis believed a student had flattened his tires, Sgt. John Singleton said.
And: Purvis' mother, Tina Jones, told the Alexandria Daily Town Talk newspaper that she wished her son could avoid such situations.
"I understand he gets frustrated," she said. "But he needed to walk away from this situation, being that he's already in a situation. It's very frustrating and upsetting to have to go through so much."
Brother Al Sharpton is right! If Purvis, and Bell, and the rest of the "thugs" that enjoyed a few minutes of mayhem while doing their best to beat and kick the life out of another human don't get "justice," then there will never be "peace." These are troubled young men. Purvis has already lashed out at another kid. These are troubled young men. These kids need "Brother Al" to introduce them to Jesus...not to educate them on a protest rally, or a lawsuit.
My hope is that "Brother Al" remembers Jesus well enough to understand this. These are troubled young men...who need an introduction to the "Prince of Peace."
