The reason why I'M asking this is to see if there are any other "African Americans" such as myself that feel that this entire situation has been blown totally out of control by people like Al Sharpton, Rev. Jackson, Martin L. King lll, and many others of "our" race. Now maybe I'm wrong but where I come from when one individual is attacked by two or more people , those that are on the attacked are considered a "gang". Color has nothing to do with what is going on in Jena,LA and our "elders" know this.Racism is alive,I believe, because of those that continue to live in the past.The young man ,Mr. Bell who is incarcerated, has a prior juvenille record.This is NOT his first run in with the law (so reports say). And all those people that descended down on Jena,an estimated number of somewhere between 25-60 THOUSAND, selling t-shirts, b-bque, paid to load up on buses and so forth, why then didn't anyone contribute at least $5 apeice to his bail to help get him out
