let me get this right? the jena six?

Question

They should be freed?

They beat a guy up over his racist actions?

I’m sorry to hear this white kid was involved in racist actions but that doesn't give anybody the right to beat him up.

It’s not like he fought a guy one on one.

Answer 1

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will twist this around and create a bigger race issue out of it than is necessary or appropriate.
Sharpton is already focusing on the nooses hung in a tree by white students after black students sat under that tree.

Of course, the six black students that beat up a white student are all 'victims' and should be set free. But, apparently the white students that flung the noose over the tree should be punished to the full extent of the law.

This is blatantly racist, and Sharpton and Jackson are there to fuel the flames, give themselves a little more limelight, make a few bucks, and continue to escalate the hatred, bias, prejudice and bigotry between blacks and whites. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are no better than Hitler's propagandists who fueled the flames against Jews 70 years ago.

Answer 2

Ok so if no one ever teaches people like that, that it is not cool or safe to make such ignorant gestures how will they ever know not to do it? For every action there is a reaction. Take this story from my childhood:

My history class is watching a film on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King when during the scene where he is killed a caucation male student stands up and yells "goody for him" now what do you think happened or should happen to him? Punishment by the teacher, all of his black classmates are no longer friends with him? How does the lesson that something like that is just not appropriate get through to this young man? His parents obviously permits such stupidity. I'll tell you what happens to people such as this. A black male student stood up and puched the caucation student in the mouth. Now the caucation student got himself off the floor, the teacher sat back down without one word, the rest of the class laughed and made comments such as "what the devil were you thinking of" and we continued with the film. Lesson learned. Its life, now what if he was taught that at home, he would not have had to get this lesson from another student is such an embarrasing fashion. Clear?

Answer 3

Look some of yall don't know the whole story the only reason why this is happening is because the African American guys finally got fed up of the unfairness and everything and finally stood up for themselves..because everyday they would get picked on,hit on beat up and they even had nooses hanging from trees,they would gang up on black kids with weapons like guns,glass bottles and everything like that while it was only like 3 or 4 white kids on one black kid..all done by racist white kids & nothing was being done to them for doing all of those things..but whenever a African American kid did something wrong..theyll get suspended and everything..which is wrong..so i don't blame them for doing what they did yea sure 6 on one was worng.. but so is 4 and gangs of white kids on one black kid..sure some of yall may not agree with me..but until you really know the feeling of what being treated you're a criminal,get called harsh names or just get hated just because of your skin color..you'll never understand!i got through at least everyday.especially at work since i with the public alot..sorry if i offended anybody

Answer 4

From everything I have read and seen no one has said this kid was involved in the hanging of the nooses'.
