It's amazing... another one bites the dust. When are we going to get it? The media is like a drama hungry snake that only stops when it gorged itself on petty small town crises, and in the process gets all of America hyped up... for what? Jena 6, honestly I don't know when and how we came to literally wearing our integrity on our backs. It should not matter if I wore black that day or not. My support for my race goes beyond black t-shirts, and school pranks. Its crazy; I get up every morning, thank god that for one I'm alive, two I'm in school, I'm black, I'm smart, I have sense, a mind, a voice and I thank him for all the people that died for me to be here BUT I still get stares for not wearing a black t-shirt? I love my race but I'm not going to defend violence in any way whether or not they had it coming. I've learned from my fathers before me, and non-violence is what they taught. Really people spend too much time being angry for the wrong reasons. People are born, they live they die in anger, but I refuse to be angry because so many died angry before me. The best way to show respect is to live happy, so the deaths of those who were angry- fighting for what I have standard would not go in vane. It just amazes me how little things like high school fights, in a small-town town spawned by racial hoopla managed to make front page news days in a row... seriously its beyond me. I can't believe I'm even wasting my pixels on it, let alone my time. I think the whole thing got blown out of proportion... again.
