Here we go again. Another racial incident packaged especially so that the unbiased, non partisans that work in the hallowed halls of journalism can show whites in the United States how racist we all are.
Of course the journalists themselves, college professors, students who vote left wing and other white liberals are excluded from the charge of "racism".
Enter Jena Louisiana which from what I understand is the backwoods. I guess (bear in mind that since left wing bloggers have gotten involved with their hysteria, getting any details of the case is near impossible) that there was a tree at Jena High School that traditionally only whites were allowed to sit under. A group of black students last fall asked administrators if they too could also sit under the tree. School Admin told them they could sit anywhere they wanted and these students did just that.
The next day, three nooses in school colors appeared hanging from the tree - apparently one for each black student that sat there.
There can be no denying that this was an attempt to intimidate and bully each other. The students responsible were found and suspended for a few days.
But the black community in Jena was still outraged. This punishment wasn't enough. They wanted these students arrested for "hate speech" I guess. (If you haven't noticed, students have the freedom to say/print anything they want to as long as it falls within liberal PC parameters.)
Anyway this was the beginning of a long series of events mostly trivial in nature. A few black students weren't invited to a party, someone tried to burn the school down (the culprit hasn't been identified) and so on and so forth.
It all culminated in an incident last Dec. in an incident where 6 black guys beat a white guy. Apparently, they beat him up pretty bad. That's the only thing anyone can really say for sure. Some reports say that the white guy pulled a gun - but other sources say no weapon was involved.
The "Jena Six" (i.e. the black guys) as they come to be called, were originally charged with assault, but this was later changed to attempted second degree murder.
Naturally this has sparked outrage. To be sure, attempted murder charge seems a bit harsh - but we had no idea what was said between the blacks and the white involved. Make no mistakes, this was a racial incident and odds are that racial epithets were thrown on both sides. It's ironic to think now that the same black community that decryed how little was done with the whites involved in the noose incident seem to want the system to go easy on their guys.
I got news for you: racism is a two way street and although the fine details have been clouded, there was a race crime committed on a white by a group of blacks. There is no denying that a hate crime has been committed here.
Naturally - since it's a black on white hate crime it's considered excusable. After all (critics keep telling us) whites started it by hanging nooses.
So there you have it: two wrongs make a right. A hate crime committed against a black is a horrible thing, whereas a crime committed against a white is understandable. Thus not all hate crimes are equal. Which is interesting, cause they keep telling us they want to be treated "equally" (as long as we remember they're victims of whitey's system).
And of course, the NAACP (a group set up by blacks to focus exclusively on black interests) is going to run down there to march against racism without ever seeing the irony. Perhaps the black racist NAACP should march against itself to stamp out the racism of their organization.
But I digress. There is no doubt that racism is still alive and well. Just the knee jerk reaction that "whites from the south did this" is a racial prejudice. But since it keeps the civil rights groups in power - we'll keep that one around. And the same with the prejudice that blacks are oppressed - especially in the south. We'll keep that one around too.
