The Jena 6?

Question

I was watching the salt and pepper show and they were talking about how they felt about the Jena 6 incident. What are u guys feelings about this incident do u feel that the 6 boys were wrong for what they did. please nothing offensive

I know that the white boys were wrong by being so offensive to the black kids

Answer 1

I feel that the school did not handle this at all and allowed a culture of suspicion and doubt fester. And who could blame the black kids from feeling put upon

Answer 2

I think the whole situation was mishandled by all parties involved, especially school officials and the courts. The school did nothing to address the racism on its grounds and allowed it to get out of control. Certainly, the "Jena 6" did overreact by attacking the white kid as revenge for past incidents involving hanging nooses and alleged attacks by white kids against blacks on private property. No one ever said they shouldn't have been punished for their behavior. However, this does not warrant slapping attempted murder charges on one of the kids simply because the beating inflicted on the white kid looked worse than what it really was. It was the double-standard applied in doling out punishment that is what caused the mass protests.

Answer 3

The Jena 6 story wasn't correctly portrayed in the media. First and foremost, it's NEVER acceptable for six to gang up on one individual. Justin Barker, the white guy that was beaten, had nothing to do with the noose incident or any of the other incidents that was reported. Mychal Bell one of the guys that beat Justin Barker is a four time repeat violent offender who was on probation at the time of the attack. I understand there may be racial tension, but violence is NEVER the answer and will never solve anything. It only sets us back. 2D

Answer 4

learn the truth about the incident. the racist blacks will always cry the racist card at every opportunity they can

as for you moe moe you are truly ignorant to the reality. enjoy your inferiority complex and stop blaming the whites for the shortcomngs you suffer from

Answer 5

wow good question and no of course i don't feel like they was wrong because they should never did that and that would never happen to them like that so i think that the white boy deserved every bit of it because that have been doing us black people wrong for the longest so i just felt like they was just fighting for they rights just like any other black person would do and take care my dear!!!!!

Answer 6

well half yes half no
