Jena 6 **old post 7-07**

I've been keeping up with the Jena 6 stuff on. I saw where alot of people feel that they should be freed from this injustice. Maybe. It's only fair. They did nothing wrong because in this world, if there is an "injustice" against someone, they have the moral, ethical, and sometimes legal right to commit an injustice against someone else. Of course then that person has the right to commit an injustice against someone else and then that person has the right to commit an injustice against someone else, etc....... Then we have only injustice. Yep, that's the way to go. I understand that there was stuff going on between White and Black. Hey that's life. What's new! And I agree that the noose thing outside the school was in bad taste but hey, that's life. Shit happens. Bad taste happens alot. But at some point there has to be a stopping point. See, I think it should have been handled better by school officials and by that community to start with. It should have been handled better by students and by the parents of students: ALL PARENTS OF ALL STUDENTS. But when violence happens, it is time to put a stop to it. This happened because of intolerance and racist attitudes by all party's, and it continues from all parties involved. "They did this, so we did that". "He called me this, so I stabbed him". "A Black kid hit me in 1st grade, that's why I shot that black guy at the party". "A white person owned my ancestors, so all white people owe me". We all have something we can use as an excuse to do bad things if we want to: IF WE WANT TO. See the white kids that did the nooses shouldn't have been allowed to be in or around that school any more. They should have been punished for their sad and pathetic attempt to bully the black kids. It was racist and it was sickening. And it was very wrong but it wasn't criminal. No matter how bad it looked, putting a rope in a tree isn't a crime. And as ignorant as the nooses were, violence was not the answer to that ignorance. It will never be. But the reaction to that ignorance was a crime. It was a violent crime. It was a race motivated crime. They targeted a white kid because he was white. Why were there no marches against this racially motivated crime? Why didn't the injustice marchers protest this act of Racism? Racially motivated crimes against white people aren't really that glamorous in the media or to anybody else I guess; not enough money to be made off of that and it's not PC enough. But if the Rev. Jesse Jackson really wanted an end to race crimes, he would protest all instances of it. But instead he is only against White on Black crime. If it is the other way, it's ok with him. See he's not protesting bigotry, he is protesting bigotry against Black people. He isn't against racism, he's against racism against Black people (that's where his money is at). But nothing is changing. This is the way it is, and this will always be the way things are until supporting bigotry against any group is stopped. All instances should be viewed the same, no exceptions. But that ain't happening. See I believe that there were injustices involved in this whole matter from all involved. But I also believe that anytime race becomes involved in any matter it becomes so muddled, that in reality, there is no justice. The use of the term "Racist" has become so easy to use that it has become a crutch for all minorities and a political weapon for opportunist. To me, it means nothing. It's just another dirty term that is used when someone wants some attention or to get out of trouble. Maybe if people only used it when it was really needed. Maybe if it was used in instances where it applies. But that won't happen either. It's a racist world. It's a world full of bigots. What's changed since the 60's? Very little. Now it's just fashionable to be black. But race is still a problem. Today all races are racist, but being white is the same as being EVIL. If your white, you can't even have the glimmer of being a bigot. Don't get me wrong. There are times that I think the Rev. Jackson and that crowd is right. They do some good things but most of the time they miss the point all-together. And it is always the Black man's injustice. It is never society's injustice. He doesn't care about anything beyond his group. To me that is Racist. But that's just me. Maybe I'm the racist and I just don't know it. But I thought about if it was 6 white kids that beat down a black kid. Would Rev. Jackson be marching for lighter sentences for the white kids? Would he be in support of the white kids in anyway? Would the media be giving the same opinion in that instance as this? No. Jackson would be marching for tougher sentences because it could only be race motivated. He would be calling for the harshest penalty possible. The media would be saying how it was so horrible that 6 white kids beat up a black kid. Wow. What a double standard? See I don't even presume to know what all went on at that school. I don't think anybody knows the truth about any of it or ever will. It's being played out in the media like a soap opera to make one side look better than the other. Everybody is doing this. Everybody is looking to make their position look innocent and the other side guilty. Everybody has their own twist to every situation and this has been twisted beyond ever finding anything resembling justice. See, I think they are all guilty, every F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G person involved, even law enforcement. They should all be arrested and charged with Terrorism (everybody involved terrorized the rest of the world with their accusations and the way they twist the truth), Conspiracy to Commit Fraud (trying to make something into a crime against humanity when there is so much real crime with real victims), Fraud (for everyone that plays into this victim act), Civil Rights Violations (my civil right to live one day without this ignorant shit), Sliminess (they are all slim balls and it's a crime), Stupidity (for the people that fall for this crap EVERY-freaking-TIME), Murder (they killed precious time in my life with their moronic mud slinging and name calling), Rape (they all raped my consciousness and I will never be the same), and Wasting Time and Resources on Stupid-Assed People doing Stupid-Assed Shit (the media for covering this like they did). This should be a Capital Crime, with the death penalty as punishment and I will volunteer to push the F^^^ing plunger. I see it like this: Racist marching to stop racism will always cause more racism.
