    I’m glad/proud that so many us realize that this racism ish has been boiling just beneath the surface for awhile now.

    It ain’t nothing nice, what’s going on against us in the legal, political, media, and corporate structures all across America.

    What’re we going to tackle next, after we win this cause?

    Out of the 4000+ people who have read or skimmed through the Jena 6 article on MSNBC, the average rating for the story and other articles relating to this is a 2.5. This is indicative of the fact that the majority of people in America do not care about this story what so ever. Since we are not in the majority…. I wonder who could have been giving this story low ratings gee I wonder (note the facetious tone)…

    No doubt I got my black on!!! I love my people and how we can get together. We need to do it more often to let peolpe know that it’s 2007 and this sh*t will no longer be tolerated. Why do we have to have people speak for us…we need to speak up and speak out! Let it be known, YOU WILL NOT JUST DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO US ANYMORE.

    WE SHALL OVERCOME….F*CK THAT, WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO OVERCOME THE BULLSH*T THAT WE ARE FACED WITH EVERYDAY.

    This is not a “I want my 40 acres and mule” type of thing. This is a call to my people to get off our asses and DO SOMETHING!!! DO SOMETHING!!!

    STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU’LL FALL FOR ANYTHING! PLEASE BELIEVE!

    Wish I could have been there. I wore black today.# 9 said it just right, they thought that we BLACK people could not come together and look WE DID IT!!!! Like I have said many times BLACK people, when we stick together we can seriously run things. If you get the opportunity to go to MSNBC you will see how sooo many BLACK people who came in support. If it does not bring tears to your eyes than I do not know what does. I think this incident that has happened in JENA is suppose to bring us CLOSER to one another and to stop the hating in our communities but instead to start building each other up. On MSNBC there is s link that mentions how it was black bloggers that were spreading the word on the web.That’s right one person has the power to make change and becasue of all our efforts in spreadin the words look at the GREAT works we have done. Let’s remember this day moving forward, when you see another black person walking down the street, on the bus, in the store, smile, say good morning, good afternoon etc. the karma on that is rewarding. Today is the true definition of what BLACK LOVE!! really is.

    It's not that serious

    I am so happy and proud of this. I was just watching CNN and the reporter said that there has not been one arrest and that everything has been peaceful all day. This march is bigger then JENA 6, it’s about injustices for blacks all over America. Think about it, had Jena 6 not become a national news, those people would have thought it was okay to take away 6 young mens lives by putting them away for 20+ years because of a highschool fight. Yet there was a black boy that was hit in the head by a white boy with a bottle and there were no charges filed…. there was a black boy that was jumped as well at an all white party, no charges were filed…. there was a white guy that pulled out a gun on some black kid in his store and when the black kid wrestled him to get the gun out his hands (and succeeded) that kid was charged with robbery! This is a serious issue. Some people from this town say that this is not a “race” thing, but the proof is in the pudding. Prove to America that this is not a “race issue”!! When I was reading the CNN website about whats going on today in JENA, there was a comment left by a woman from a different country that said this:

    “Why did the black students have to get permission to sit under a tree? Is that really the freedom that your country promotes globally? FYI- the rest of the world does not distinguish the color of a TREE!!!! We are not that stupid”.

    Another person from a different part of the world stated:

    “The world is watching this. Americans need to wake- up and realize that there is a major problem. How racist, ignorant and blind can people be? Instead of fixing another country, fix your own”.

    Sighs….SMH, these qoutes are sad, but so true.

    I love all the black power today, I wore my play today! So many people went down to Jena, I wish I could’ve gone but I’m in high school :( Very few black people wore black today in my high school in support of the Jena 6 today :( It was funny because the people I saw wear black all the time didn’t wear it today?!?!?! Most people didn’t even know what I was talking about, nobody’s really socially conscious down here, losers! I know that justice for the Jena 6, DA, and those white kids that hung the noose and attempted to shoot them will find justice IMMEDIATELY!

    Judah PLEASE believe I know its bigger than those katz, BUT what bothers me is they don’t stand for SHIT!!! If they think it will screw up their “image” or “money” than they remain silent. This isn’t the first time either….ALOT of these damn artists are getting on my nerves now. Selling out all kinds of wack products for fans/consumers to buy, but never really give back. Like you can tell the ones just doing shit for a tax write off and the ones that really cares!!!!

    Ugghhhh @ 181. We doing this because of injustice. You idiot, your comment shows me just how close-off and unreality based your mind is. So because you see whole lot of black people protesting, that means we coming down there to beat and steal, Shut your ignorant ass up. Its people like you who need a f*cking clock to the head so you can wake up and smell the damn coffee. Even though slavery so-called ended about 2 centuries ago, sh*t like this shows that it’s not over. Damn civil war didnt solve sh*t. That’s why it took my ancestors another damn century and more to get where they are today. And Black people still have got such a long way to go. Damn, you are soooo brainwashed, its not even funny. I bet you’re just scared because black people fighting for something that’s not right and we not gonna let some pig skinned people think they are gonna continue to get away with their madness. F*ck that, we standing up, whether your punk scared ass like it or not.
