Jena 6 the modern day Lynching in Louisiana
this case is the truly a sad reminder of the racism that is allowed and welcomed in America. 6 Black Boys are all tired on aggravated Assualt against a white Male and more but the thing was they were defending themselves against racial attacks and other factors. imagine a all white Juror, White Prosecutor, all White Witnessess, white judge and you can guess how this is gonna play itself out. one of the black students who got charged Mychal Bell who is 17 is facing 22 years. this whole ordeal went down in Lasalle Parish,Louisiana which has a Population of less than 3,000 people, and only 350 black folks. Bell and other Black students at the High school where they went asked to sit under a tree known as the White Tree. they got permission but the next daythree students hung Nooses on that Tree and that was a reminder of the KKK being present. also some of the White students beat up on some of the 5 black guys charged,but they were never charged or held accountable by either the Principal of the school or the powers that be in the city. hearing a story like this is truly sad. i mean this very state just a couple of years ago went through a devasting Storm with Hurricane Katrina and now this. this is ugly and makes no sense at all. some of the black students involved in this case are still under lock down because of not having bail money or being able to afford a good lawyer. there is a double standard of justice and a double standard of the Human element in America and this is a friendly reminder in 2007 as if I ever need a reminder as a Black Man in America.
