CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?These are the things that we still hear about with Racism in the world...First in 2007, Immus charade about nappy headed hoes referring to an all black basketball team and was fired for his actions.Now in the middle of 2007 Jena 6! THIS IS THE REAL STORY OF HOW IT STARTED. (The media don't talk about this much)Fair Barn party fight
The "Gotta Go" convenience store in Jena, Louisiana.On Friday, December 1, 2006, there was a private party, attended mostly by whites but with some blacks, at the Jena Fair Barn. Five black youths, including 16-year-old Robert Bailey, Jr., attempted to enter the party at about 11 p.m. According to U.S. Attorney Washington, they were told by a woman that no one was allowed inside without an invitation. The five youths persisted, stating that some friends were already in attendance at the party. A white man, who was not a student, then jumped in front of the woman and a fight ensued. After the fight broke up, the woman told both the white man and five black youths to leave the party. Once outside, the black students were involved in another fight with a group of white men, who were not students. Police were called to investigate. Justin Sloan, a white male, was charged with simple battery for his role in the fight and was put on probation. Bailey later stated that one of the white men broke a beer bottle over his head, but there were no official records of Bailey receiving medical treatment.COVENIENCE STORE INCIDENT (That the don't talk about)...
On Saturday, December 2, 2006, another incident involving Bailey occurred at a local convenience store. A white student who had attended the Fair Barn party encountered Bailey and several friends. Reports from the involved parties are conflicting. Local police reported that the accounts of the white student and black students contradicted each other and formed a report based on testimony taken from eyewitnesses. The white student claimed that Bailey and his friends chased him, that he ran to get his gun, and that the students wrestled it away from him. According to the black students, as they left the convenience store, they were confronted by the white student with a shotgun. They stated they wrestled the gun away from him and fled the scene. After hearing from an uninvolved witness of unspecified race, the police charged Bailey and two others with three counts: theft of a firearm, second-degree robbery, and disturbing the peace. The white student who produced the weapon was not charged.THE OUTCOME...
A group of six black teenagers who have been charged with the beating of a white teenager at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana, United States, on December 4, 2006. The six black students were initially charged with attempted second degree murder and conspiracy to commit second degree murder.The beating followed a number of racially-charged incidents in the town, which began when three white students hung nooses from a tree at Jena High school the day after a black student asked if he and his friends could sit under the tree.The Jena Six case has sparked protests, in Jena and elsewhere, by those who believe that the arrests and the subsequent charges were excessive and racially discriminatory, alleging a lack appropriate disciplinary action, arrests and/or serious charges against white youths in Jena in earlier incidents in the town. U.S. Attorney Donald Washington — an African American and a Bush appointee[1] — who led an investigation into events in the town, has concluded that there is no evidence of unfair prosecution.[2]Mychal Bell, the only member of the "Jena Six" to be tried so far, has had his convictions set aside, one by the trial judge[3] and the other by the Louisiana Third Circuit Court of Appeal. Both convictions were overturned on the grounds that the defendant should have been tried as a juvenile, not as an adult, because he was sixteen when the incident occurred. Bell was incarcerated for almost 10 months, before being released on September 27, 2007, after bail was posted on his behalf. The District Attorney has indicated he does not plan to appeal further, meaning that Bell will be tried as a juvenile.MADDY IS SO BEAUTIFUL! SHE'S GOING TO BE QUEEN ONE DAY!
