black talk radio ur a dumb bitch.we can do watever da fck we wanna do

If that was six white kids beating one black kid they would have burnt the city down and had a million man march.Its ttime for us,as white people,to take a stand and stop letting everyone walk all over us.Lets all march on Washinton D.C. and have our own million man march.I'm tired of this b.s. lets take this country back.

Let freedom ring.

this is to Anonymous u have stated all the organization that are for blacks, naacp, colleges, chambers of commerce let us not forget that it was the white man who brought the africains here and considered them property and let us not forget that the white man took this land from the Indians and called them savages when in reality the white man was the savage because he killed many indians and took their land it was the white man who basically has destroyed the land but u want to state that we are bias it was the white man who considered black people as property and let us not forget that you all have president's day, columbus day and whatever other holiday there is and I don't recall there being any black presidents and columbus to the best of my knowledge was a white man and as far as black colleges are concerned they were created to educate black people when white people were not allowing us to get an education and not allowing us to attend white schools such as ALABAMA, AURBURN and so one I do believe that anyone can attend a black college regardless of color, race, creed or anything eles and the naacp helps everyone not just black people even though it was created for the black person's need and you do have white tv because you have mtv, vh1 and all the tv channels because all of the shows are geared toward white mainstream people so get off that crap and face it if that have been all black boys fighting nothing would have been said and as far as I am concern if the white boys had got the best of the black boys nothing would have been said or done about it and for you to even think that way lets me know that racism is stronger than ever it is just not in the open like it was in the 50's and 60's because i remember when black people could not use the same public bathroom, sit at the same table and drink from the same water fountain and as far as crime goes you have white gang bangers, drug dealers and the biggest one of all child molesters as well as serial killers do some research get the profile for a serial killer I beleive he is an white male of average in IQ, with some type of complex about women and most of all he hates his mother so i rest on that!!!! last but not least the jena 6 problem is true injustice to all those involved because it should have be kept at the school level and the school should have addressed the issues from the beginning in Sept 06 when it all started

Hate happens in all races. The poor me mentality will get you nothing in life. If you want a difference in your life, make a difference in your child's life. They are our future.

I am so happy that Micheal Bell is finally free. He didn,t belong in jail in the first place. The time that he has serve is long enough. the DA should be ashame of hisself how could he sleep at night knowing that he was wrong. I hopr that this has made micheal Bell stronger and that he will come out on top.

I have one point to make and it's neither a white one or a black one. Why are these kids called the jena6?????. I'm sure it came from the media, but it makes these 6 high school students sound like a gang, like the Bloods or the Crips, but jena6 sells more newspapers, makes bigger headlines.

I think they should be referred to as the six teenage students, because that's what they are. These are individual teenagers and should be referred to as such, it's like saying We are all alike, which is far from the truth.

This has gotten totally out of hand, it wasn';t handled correctly initially and it isnn't being handled correctly presently. The situation is getting worse and worse. I pray this does not end up with fatalities of any kind, it seems to me man never knows when enough is enough until some ones is fatally hurt.

Since we don't seem to be able to stop ourselves, I pray"God" will step in and stop us, before it's to late. As for the T-Shirt, the reaction it's getting just demonstrates to me even more so how this situation has gotten out of hand.

These six teenagers will be adults one day, with families/ kids of their own, what they teach their children is going to be critical on how thier children turn out.

I hate to say this, but this incident is going to affect these 6 teenagers for the rest of their life, and they have to be very strong kids to walkaway from this with some positive thoughts. I personally don't see this happening.

I pray for The town of Jena and the residents who live their, both black and white.

if like if your black or an female law should listen to you and allow break the law but never want do that time if white man does it so he get an chair i think should be fair he should get what coming to him if he done the crime if not should be free so stop this crying crap

A student should be able to wear whatever he pleases as long as it doesnt break the dress code.

An unequal justice system exists in this country and it’s about time that a light shines on this unspoken truth. The world watched during the Hurricane Katrina tragedy and saw how Blacks and Whites are treated differently in this country. A double standard exists and a change needs to take place!!!!

To those who dont understand why everyone is hurt and upset by the injustice that the Jena 6 faces are simply in denial of the fact that racism is alive in America; sometimes its covert and sometimes it’s overt. It’s time for a reality check. To those who are offended by others marching for equal rights, the truth hurts. Stop complaining, face the facts, and join the fight!!!!!!!!!

Those who don’t see the connection between the events (nooses, blacks getting beaten and threatened with riffles and Barker being jumped) please see www.commondreams.org

This is worth repeating. Well written and to the point. Good job!!

Here are a few interesting things you all might like:
You say that whites commit a lot
of violence against you,
so why are the ghettos the most
dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Kawanza.
You have the NAACP.
And you have BET.
If we had WET
(White Entertainment Television)
...We'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day
...You would call us racists.
If we had White History Month
...We'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites
to "advance" OUR lives,
...We'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain
Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
If we had a college fund that only gave
white students scholarships
...You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly-proclaimed
Black-only Colleges in the US,
yet if there were "White-only Colleges"
...THAT would be a racist college
In the Million-Man March,
you believed that you were
marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights,
...You would call us racists.
You are proud to be black,
brown, yellow and red,
and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride
...You call us racists.!
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
But, when a white police officer
shoots a black gang member
or beats up a black drug-dealer
who is running from the LAW and
posing a threat to ALL of society
...You call him a racist.
I am proud.
...But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only
whites
can be racists?
Why is the Jena 6 situation not a hate crime?
If the situation was reversed, Jesse and everyone else would be there supporting full prosecution for a hate crime.

Your rite i don't know what it's liketo be black in the usa,but guess what you don't know what it's like to be white either.And as for linda,you say that the shirt is freedom of speach.well guess what the nooses,"right or wrong"was a way a freedom of speach.I went to school in GA and being white ifelt racisim all the time cause i was the minority.If you walked threw my naiborhood you would get at most a dirty look.I would get murderd for walking down any one of your dominatlt dlack naborhoods so don't act like you aren't freakin prdjudist Get a life

This young woman was doing no one a diservice by supporting what she believes. How can you Mr. David Peterson say that she has no idea what it means? Do you know her personally? Secondly you in my opinion sound like a racist. You need to get the facts. Firstly based on your commets it is easy to see that you don't know and or understand what it feels like to be black in America. You don't get racially profiled, sterotyped and called inferior. Your life is made easy in general just because you were born in the skin that you are in. So you say that they are 6 grown and call them the so called Jena 6. These were average high school kids who were victims of racism for more than a year who were threatned if you are going to discuss the facts discuss them all. Why is there still a "WHITES ONLY TREE" that these noose were hung from? Next did you also know that prior to that a African American young man was jumped by a group of White boys or should we call them grown men since that seems to be the trend. Then you say right is right and wrong is wrong then hanging nooses on any tree in the United States of America is a "FEDERAL HATE CRIME" so why did the young men who did this who we do know not get a trial and jail time. Sorry these grown men excuse me for that. Did you also know that these black young high school boys had a gun pulled out on them by a white man.

Oh and here is the best part this boy who was jumped was not apperently to hurt because that very same night he went out to a party with some friends. If one is as badly hurt like the district attorney stated then he would still be in the hospital as of this very moment.

He in my opinion is just as racist as the people in the city who are looking at this as a color war instead of a what it truly is. I do not believe that anyone should have hands put on them at the same time to when you are provoked to a limit that you have never been then the reactions are some times consequences of that anger that the 6 young sorry grown men felt. Imagine that you are in a town where your are the monority "Black People Stand Up" and all of the odds are stacked against you.

Anyone can see that this is a racially charged situation. The district attorney, Jena town officials, and people who breed hate better be careful because their is one who sees and knows everything and he will get to the bottom of it and when he goes for payment it may mean alot of individuals will be in trouble I am talking about GOD.

Oh the marck Blacks have been marching through out history because we have always had a reason to. Slavery, Jim Crow Laws, Segreation, Inferior Opinions, and more importantly Racism. It is not our fault that GOD broke the mold when he gave us what he did we are a strong people reguardless of what is thought of us we are strong. We will march until the sun sets down if needed. The only difference is that we always have a reason. If whits were to march for a cause that ment somthing we would be right behind them like in many situations in history that we never recieved credit for helping in. It would not be seen as the KKK getting together even though they would be their making it a race battle and not a march for equality and peace.

So Mr. Peterson what did we learn in todays lession 1. Get a person can support anything and wearing a JENA 6 t-shirt made the school scared because of the power that it possesed and she was not doing anyone a diservice. 2. Get the facts and really know what you are talking about before you start writing non-sence based or racist views and opinions. 3. Don't use the right is right comment because it will get you in the whole every time if you don't see things from a neutral stand point. 4. The young boys that were involved in this were average age high school boys not men big difference. 5.The district attorney is a racist in a lawyer's suit with a high ranking office. 6. The situation should be handled in a professional manner not a racist one. 7. Marching is not a sin or shameful when it is done for the right reason and the right cause.

Now make sure you study Mr. Peterson so you will not fail your test when it comes.

God Bless

She should not have been alowed to wear the shirt because she does not even kmow what it means. This whole thing is crazy. The boy who was beaten by no less than six grown men oh I am sorry boys (I bet you money if the six of them had jumped on you you would be calling them men)did not hang that stupid sign of hatred in the tree first of all.I dont see why that is not brought up. He did not hang the thing up in the tree the poor jena 6 as you so loike to call them jumped him for what because the color of his skin. Now was the ropes in the tree the right thing to do no but not one person in history has ever been to the hospital for hurt felings. The so loved jena 6 beat that kid and put him in the hospital. What do you think should happen to six men or boys who violantly attack another person. What if it was your child left for dead on the sidewalk. Who would march then if it was your child. If the jena six were the jena white 6 and white people came to march in a show of support they would be labeled as KKK. I can not abide prejodust on any level right is right it should not matter what color your skin is.

THIS IS BULL CRAP, WHERE IS THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH (SPEAKING HOW HE OR SHE FEELS THROUGH CLOTHING) WHERE IS THE PROBLEM. IS THIS AMERICA? GOD'S WRATH SHALL SURELY COME ON AMERICA BECAUSE IT IS A SAD DAY WHEN RACISM IS SO BLATANT AND HATE CRIMES ARE CALLED A PRANK BY WHITES IN 2007. WE KNOW THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS WILL NEVER BE TREATED WITH TRUE JUSTICE BUT THIS GOING ON IN JENA,LA, FORSYTH, GA AND ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY IS JUST OUT RIGHT WRONG AND POLITICIANS OF ALL RACES WILL NOT PREVAIL IN THE END. THESE ARE THINGS THEY CAN CONTROL. GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN!!!!!!! AND BELIEVE THIS.
