The Jena Lynchings Have Started

Please read this article about the Jena Six. I have heard about this on the Automatic Preference blog, but hadn't had time to look into exactly what it is. The Jena six are six black youth accused of attempted murder by beating a white racist in Jena, Louisiana. They were repeatedly taunted as well as nooses being hanged from the "white tree" where they sat under. This, according to many of school officials, was a harmless prank. Even the beating of a black youth by whites was a harmless prank, I guess.

The first of the court cases is over and Mychal Bell faces 22 years in prison. The whiteys who beat up the black youth I believe the article said were suspended. That was about it.

Can you say lynching? It never ends, the racist bullshit in this nation. But you probably don't want to feel guilty about this. Hey, how did that NBA draft go? Now there, there is something important.


I know what you're thinking, looking at this photo: "Those were the good old days!"
