Jena 6
I find Jena 6 an extremely interesting topic. Many people are crying racism and others are flat out denying it. What I would like to know is the truth. What we know for sure is that 6 black kids beat up one white kid. This alone would start a mad rush of anger if this were the only part of the story. However, it is not. We also know that white kids were harassing the black kids and putting up nooses in the trees where the black kids were sitting. People claim this is freedom of speech, but any intelligent person would recognize that this is not freedom of speech but a direct mental assault on a group of children. Were these kids punished for hanging nooses, I do not know. Were the black kids treated fairly for what they did to the white kid, I do not know. The only thing I know, is that I know nothing.
