There you go again, thinking im someone else,, get over yourself...fareal....

why wouldnt they do that, they have the right too...or they dont want to be concerned with social injustice in the sytem,, and you actually think it would be a slam dunk in the south lol,, wow,,,study up on your history my man, american history,,

You can’t be THAT FUCKING STUPID!!!
You show the gun to 5 bad ass mother fuckers and 90% they will run. That why in state of Texas you have a concealed weapon laws... to protect yourself from this kind of situation.

so if you went for a job interview, and the office where went for the job was an all black office, you are qualified for the job, and they offer the to lesser qualified person whom was black, what would you scream....not all blacks get hurt,, if happens everyday in my life, i learn to survive in it,, just like others...

they don't do because it's not their fucking problem, and it's not injustice.
get over the race shit for a second and try to see the thing as it really is.

lmao ass off,, now i understand the way you act,,, you from texas,,,you run from a shot gun,,,ok, have you heard of freeze....dont move or i blow your fucking brains out.....

I'd like to know where this story really begins.

We hear that one of the blacks asked at a school assembly if blacks can go under the tree. What brought that question on?

Something tells me the whites around the tree didn't run the blacks out just because of their skin color.

Handicapped. Don’t waste your time.

so what did run the blacks out?

they should burn the fucking tree! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

ok i can get out of the race shit for a second, but can you put yourself in my race for a second,, and see what this thing really is?

the cut the tree down, befor the national media could come cover the story about the nooses hanging from the tree..the town didnt want there dirty laundry aired around the world...

So now you have problem with entire state of Texas ? How about you relocate your ass to Siera Leone and tell us about justice there?

lmao ,,, man your hilarious....you should get your own comedy act kramer...

i have no problem with texas, i just have a problem with you kramer...if i lived in Siera Leone i would tell you about the social injustice there, about the diamond mines, the slavery, the warlords,,,

Darkknight - so you'd support 6 white guys beating up a black kid if the white guys felt threatend by them because the black guys were being racist towards him?

In every black ghetto theres a few white trash families who are the minorities, so they can now beatup blacks if the blacks are racist??? NO.

I want a real answer to that. I'm not fucking racist AT ALL but when people pull this bullshit they get locked up - if the white guys did this to the black guy i'd be saying lock them up too, so don't you dare pull the fucking race card on me.

MOST people draw a weapon hoping to deter an attack. Guess it didn't work out the way he probably hoped..

Why wasn't anyone shot? I don't know.. some people just don't have it in them to pull the trigger, maybe the conditions were not safe enough for him to make a clean shot.. maybe there were too many bystanders, maybe he wasn't psychologically capable of using a firearm on a human being..who knows.. there's many variables to consider & it's not just point & shoot like one may think.. I could shoot someone right between the eyes from 3 miles under controlled conditions, but in a convenience store parking lot there's dangers most people wouldn't consider, such as hard flat surfaces which can cause ricochet, also the fact that it's a shotgun which means it has a choke .. had it been a wide choke pattern, shot would have missed & who knows where it may have hit & apparently there were bystanders..which is a risk.. maybe he didn't feel it was safe to shoot.. maybe it was too chaotic to make a clean shot.. could be many reasons... While it was legal for him to draw the weapon, it may not be legal for him to actually fire the weapon as most states have laws against firing a weapon within a certain amount of feet within a building/dwelling..

If an angry mob was attacking me, one, they would not have gotten my weapon.. I would have fired a warning & called police.. had they persisted, I would have injured them somewhere below the knee.


As far as the group of white kids beating the black boy, of course they should have been charged, but that has NOTHING to do with the 6 young men in Jena who were charged with attempted murder.

hahaha, dude, then we will get back to the subject.
I am just trying to tell you the things the way they are. under the law they are criminals, and should be judged/convicted whatever the race they are.
you are just being as loud as everyone that is running the bandwagon to support those fucknuts.

Very difficult to say without having been there or talking to the white kids involved.

Could be something as simple as calm kids (who just so happened to be white) not wanting rowdy kids (who just so happened to be black) two feet from them.

It could also be a simple territory dispute. Think back to high school. You sit at the same lunch table every day, hang out in the same spot before school starts, etc...

I'm really inclined to think it was the blacks who originally turned this into a race issue, so the whites went along with it from there. It's actually pretty darn rare that a white will display racism based on skin color alone.

i guess im a fucknut and riding that bandwagon then, and im proud of it....im goin to say this again,, they are criminals and yes they should be charged and prosecuted ..... i didny say they shouldnt be neo,, im saying what about the white kids,, why didnt they get charged,,they beat up a black kid.. thats all i was saying,..read the posts...

ok matt lmao,, why would the principal address the situation, why were nooses placed on the tree....that territorial huh? lmao,,,

spacedoog i agree with everything you said,,,but not this statement
As far as the group of white kids beating the black boy, of course they should have been charged, but that has NOTHING to do with the 6 young men in Jena who were charged with attempted murder. that why blacks are in uproar,, because why wasnt they charged,,,thats what i been trying to say to everyone in this thread...yes the black guys should got charged,, but should been tried as adult and got that excessive time...but no white counterpart recieved nothing...

Did anyone even call the police for that particular incident?

Who knows why? I sure don't know why & I'm not going to make any assumptions without the facts, BUT, one COULD speculate racism.. BUT..

maybe no one called the cops
maybe the black boy didn't want to press charges
maybe the white boys family members know somebody in legal system & did whatever to hush hush it..

who fucking knows.. ask them down in Jena why..

and that why all those people went down there,,, to get an answer......

What I'm saying is that this likely started out as a very small issue, and the black kids probably played the race card first (this is the way it usually goes, and you know it). Then the whites said, fine, you want to do the race game, we'll play. From there the whole thing would have blown up.

nevermind.

yeah, I said that, blacks are louder than everyone at first with the racism shit.

Do those white boys have prior convictions for violent crime like in this case?

Seems like a reason to me.. sometimes cops let people go if they have no history.. Just a possibility.. I don't know much about the other incident

so you'd support 6 white guys beating up a black kid if the white guys felt threatend by them because the black guys were being racist towards him?
yes i would........i have been in that situation in the past,,, i went to a black college, and one of my best friends at college was white man...

In every black ghetto theres a few white trash families who are the minorities, so they can now beatup blacks if the blacks are racist??? NO.
why would they,.. most families i know whom live in the demographic go through the same things black people whom live in that area go through... so they understand..

im not a bullshitter, you can call it what you want,, you dont know me from adam, and i dont know you,, im not trying change people over nite, i just want peeps to process this, and later change if the choose to do so,, everyone has an opinion and i respect it,, i respect your opinion about me being bullshit, thats your opinion,,but opinions change when you get to know a person or a situation.. dont judge a book by its cover,, read it first....

wow, why couldnt it just be because blacks wasnt allowed to sit under the tree.. i know you have heard of traditions,,a certain way people do things,, something that has been passed on,, not all blacks play the race card, if it was played, protests would be everywhere, everyday, every minute, and every second, come on matt,..I am from the south,, there are some towns i wouldnt would be caught dead in,, that have traditions like that matt,

wow my man...do you see any racism in this situation? its screams out loud itself doesnt it?

no i dont think they have priors....yeah sometimes.. but if your a cop in that town, and there a high alert or sense of racial tensions, what would you do, to help serve and protect your community?

dude they were allowed, no one ever said, don't sit here.
it was just frequented by white people :)
the kkk thing probably happened because the idiots went to the director to ask if they could go and sit, the director probably told everyone to not to be racist, and two or three retards made the stupid racist crap because that's what it is like in school, the dudes got their punition, and that's about it.

am I lying? it's not racism, it's just the truth dude. we just got over this subject a page ago. white people don't bitch as much as black people do when it comes to racism crap.

please read,, if they were allowed why did the black freshman ask the principThe "white tree" incident
At Jena High School, about 10% of enrolled students are African Americans and more than 85% are white. Early reporting asserted that students of different races seldom sat together, although this has been disputed.[6] According to early reports, black students typically sat on bleachers near the auditorium, while white students sat under a large tree, referred to as the "white tree" or "prep tree", in the center of the school courtyard.[5] On September 22, 2007, however, the AP reported that the "white tree" was no such thing, and that according to teachers and administrators at the school, students of all races had sat under it at one time or another.[6]

During a school assembly on August 31, 2006, a black male freshman student asked permission from the principal to sit under the "white tree."[7] According to the recounting of events given by U.S. Attorney Donald Washington, the question was posed in a "jocular fashion."[8] The principal told the students they could "sit wherever they wanted."[7] The freshman and his friends then sat under the tree.[9]

The following morning, nooses (reports differ whether there were three[5] or two[6]) were discovered hanging from the tree. It has been reported that Jena's principal learned that three white students were responsible and recommended expulsion, that the board of education overruled his recommendation, and that Superintendent Roy Breithaupt agreed with the overruling. It was initially reported that the punishment was reduced to three days of in-school suspension.[5][10] According to the Associated Press, however, the three students were isolated at an alternative school for a month, and then spent two weeks on in-school suspension.[6]

The school superintendent was quoted as saying, "Adolescents play pranks. I don't think it was a threat against anybody."[11] Black residents of Jena claim that this decision stoked racial tensions that led to subsequent events.[10] However, a black teacher described seeing both white and black students "playing with [the nooses], pulling on them, jump-swinging from them, and putting their heads through them."[6]

According to U.S. Attorney Donald Washington, the FBI agents who investigated the incident, as well as federal officials who examined it, found that it "had all the markings of a hate crime." However, it wasn't prosecuted because it failed to meet federal standards required for the teens to be certified as adults.[12] Washington, a Bush appointee, is himself black.[13]

In late July 2007, U.S. Attorney Donald Washington noted that of the more than 40 statements taken regarding the assault, none mentioned the noose incident.[8] LaSalle Parish District Attorney Reed Walters stated there was no linkage between the noose incident and the beating. "When this case was brought to me and during our investigation and during the trial, there was no such linkage ever suggested. This compact story line has only been suggested after the fact."[14]

just remember this is what being reported ......we dont know what happend in jena,, we are not there,, that why people went to protest to get answers....and make the world aware of the situation..

white people dont bitch about racism.. then why is there a group called the kkk....everyone bitches,,,

I read all this shit, and this is where I got my conclusions from.
they asked because they thought it was, and this brought the 'not being allowed' thing to a whole new level.
once it's been brought to the attention of the director it got profiled as racism.
before it was just a, white sits here, and blacks sits there thing.
there are a lot of things on the discussion part of this wikipedia article that you probably missed.
like this:

ok what else did i forget,,,,so what information was forgotten from jena?

the kkk was a racist group lead by idiotic people. that's about it.
I am not KKK, spacedog is not KKK and Matt is not KKK, yet, we are trying to tell you our point of view besides the race thing.

EDIT:
Also, I didn't say they don't bitch, they just bitch less.

just because im black im not coming at you with the race thing, im not saying your kkk,,,please read ,,, again im not disputing the kids being charged for the crime, but what about white counterparts whom did the same thing to the black kid,, i posed a question about why they wasnt charged,,,,please read through the thread,, im not saying because im black those kids shouldnt be charged.. any person whom assualts someone should be placed in jail regardless of color, race or sex... but the white counterparts were not charged for there crimes...
