What's the Jena 6? Sounds like Jena Bush's six guys she slept with the first time I heard it?

Answer 1

Jena Six refers to a group of six black teenagers who have been arrested and charged with crimes related to their alleged involvement in the assault of a white teenager in Jena, Louisiana, on December 4, 2006. The incident is one of many racially charged events that have occurred in the town since the hanging of nooses on the "white tree" on the Jena High School campus, which some have called a prank and others say recalls the history of lynching. Critics of how the case was handled, including civil rights activists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, have said that the arrests and subsequent charges were racially motivated.[1] Some residents of the town - both white and black - have expressed the view that the current problem is more the fault of outsiders using racial politics to influence the justice system. Additionally, U.S. Attorney Donald Washington has expressed the opinion that although discipline was mishandled by the school, he has found no reason to believe that there was unfair judicial action.[2]

Am I the only one that reads the news? I answered this question yesterday:


Jena is a small town in Louisiana. There was an incident last December in which a group of 6 black high school kids beat up a white student in response to white students hanging a noose from a tree in the schoolyard, symbolizing the history of lynching. Their had been a lot of racial tension in the town, and it finally boiled over. The 6 kids were charged with attempted murder.

Answer 5

6 BLACK STUDENTS BEAT UP 1 WHITE STUDENT IN JENA MISS, AND THE NAACP IS PROTESTING IT ON THE BASIS THAT THE BLACK KIDS ARE BEIN TREATED UNFAIRLY, IN AN ALREADY RACIALLY DIVIDED CITY.

BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND SAW ON THE NEWS IS THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEM BEFORE, 3 WHITE STUDENTS HUNG NOOSES (SP?) FROM A TREE AND THEN THIS HAPPENED IN RETALIATION TO THAT SO......THATS THE JENA 6 STORY

Answer 6

little ones get into fights each and every of the time! yet to get 22 years and lose the prospect to flow to college for some dumb college combat? And what appropriate to the babies who hung the nooses interior the tree? it particularly is fairly common for others to comb that action off if none of their kinfolk have been ever lynched. (Louisiana has had the main lynchings interior the background of united states of america of america). What they don't permit you comprehend on some information stations is that lots of an identical Black pupils have been beat up days previous at a occasion through some Whites. What they don't permit you comprehend is that the White boy who have been given the concussion saved racially taunting those self same Black little ones approximately being beat up on the occasion. And after he have been given the concussion he replaced into presently released from the wellness center and went directly to college that nighttime. What they don't permit you comprehend is that some Black little ones in Jena had weapons pulled on them through White ADULTS distinctive situations for not something, and that they have been given arrested. it particularly is what happens each and every of the time in Jena. i don't condone the youngster's strikes, yet at what element are Black little ones envisioned to get use to this way of clinical care? A Black pupil asked the numerous for permission to sit down down under the campus tree! i'm sorry, yet that asserts plenty. It purely amazes me that it is an identical united states of america of america that Blacks and Whites are going to conflict for. And in case you think of that there is not any injustice in this incident, than think of that it replaced into your baby spending 2 a protracted time in reformatory for a school combat. I signed the petition and that i'm surely going to donate funds in the direction of the protection of those little ones.
