I agree. I'm a southerner and I know not all whites act like that. It's always been said that southerners have the best hospitality.
But when you go to the small southern towns where there isn't any diversity, you get situations just like in Jena.

I think you're taking things out of context. I heard the report on the radio and a lot of white and black ministers were calling for calm to the tensions.
As I understand it, you have a white youth or youths causing problems and black youths responding and causing problems.
One act does not excuse the other. We cannot exempt one group of any race for breaking the law. If we do, we are a nation divided.

There are open minded fair people everywhere of every race. Don't pigeon hole an entire region. I'm from GA and some of my favorite people are white and southern.
I understand how you feel but only the ignorant think that a few idiots are representative of an entire race. That's on both on sides.

could you explain how the whites in jena look so bad?
if you are calling them bad for standing their ground against a fight that was brought up by those black people to defend 6 criminals, then I personally believe, you seem to be one-sided in your stance on justice.
if you are calling them bad because of a crude noose prank, again, I believe you are barking up the wrong tree for pointing out the problem from one side but not the other side that seems to go under radar when they like to point out our "honky" skin color and think it's in just to attack us if we defend our selves, THEN play the race victim when they get hurt.
FUNNY HOW THESE BLACK PEOPLE(look at the answer rigtht below me) KEEP BRINGING UP THE BOTTLE INCIDENT TO JUSTIFY THIS PROTEST TO DOWNPLAY THE 6 CRIMINALS ACTIONS. I'M SURE BLACK BOY, WHO WAS BEATEN WITH BOTTLES, WAS DENIED A TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT, SO HIS MOTHER HAD TO TREAT HIM. LOL

I'm Texan, born and raised. My friends are not white or black. They are my friends. When I was in the service, I found racism everywhere.
