You do realise that what happened in Jena has been exagerated? At the most, some white kid insulted a black kid and then the black kid (who had a history of violence) with some of his black friends jumped the white kid from behind and beat him bloody.


There was enough mess done to the white kid that people thought he was dead.


All the other stuff about nooses etc had nothing to do with racism. Nooses are commonly used during halloween and other times as a representation of death and as sick humour, the same with skulls. The nooses in this case were to do with an upcoming sports match against another school. The coverage in the main media has tried to create a racial issue out of this because it sells more papers.
Reply:Miss Thang, there is nothing to support the allegation that the tree was a White's only tree. Like many places, a lot of these kids formed groups with others from whatever race they were. Each group hangs out in its own area. Report It

Reply:And okay while not from "The South", since when has the noose had a racist meaning? Sure blacks were lynched by being hung, but how many white people were killed the same way - a lot more I'd think. Report It

Reply:I would say the four little Black girls who were killed by a bomb in a church in the sixties.


I would also say the three men who were killed for trying to motivate Blacks in Nississippi to vote.
Reply:Michael Vick!





In both cases, you have an African -American community that spends its time crying about inquality in our society, and then of course they protest when violent offenders get sent to jail.
Reply:None. The civil rights movement was not about committing crime and using the race card to get out of jail free for the guilty.
Reply:Cernunnicnos, for you to say that a noose is a prank, that may be true where you are from, but in the south, where racism is still very much allive, it is absolutely preposterous to think that a noose hanging from the tree that a black kid felt that he had to get permission from the administration to sit under a white only tree is a prank! Those boys did that to simply terrify the black kid(s). End of story.





A noose in a haunted house is completely diffrent from the aforementioned scenario and you know it.
Reply:The Civil Rights Movement. There is lots of literature on the South and North during the Civil Rights Movement. You can research Dr. Martin Luther Kings work as well as many other civil leaders duing that time to find your answer.
