Re: Incident in Jena,La.
[ QUOTE ]
At the local high school there's a tree that students sit under that is referred to as the "white tree" as it's understood to be a place where whites sit only. [/ QUOTE ] It's understood by who? You mean to say that the school implicitly condone such aberrations? No wonder there is racial problem down there! Did this happened 60-70 years ago or is the "white only" tree, a contemporary event?

My guess is that the assumption is that white students believe the black students understand it as such. Nothing about the school implicitly condoning anything, and it happened last year

I would also fire the police chief from reading the links. I do sincerely hope that this is simply a redneck or hicks ville phenomena brought about by a few white in-breeding than really an american tolerated behavior. I think african americans taking the law in their own hands, in this extreme, and intolerable case of the "white only treee shade", completely justified! Go bros!

[/ QUOTE ] Do you not understand how the media portrays a "white only tree" may be different then how it exists. If the tree just happened to be sat under by white students while blacks sat somewhere else, would you be calling for everyone in the school and on the board to resign? You think that 6 students beating the [censored] out of one was justified? You are just as bigoted as those you speak against.

[/ QUOTE ] If the concept of a white only tree as "understood" by some or even noone, yes, I object to it, especially if it still happens today when white people must be aware of the grave injustice that have been done to african americans. And on top of it it seems right that african american americans should be able to object to it via protests without police hassling. What's more, from the links I read at least it seems that there was then a form of judicial revenge against african americans which was, at least seemingly, a travesty of justice. How do you explain noose appearing the next day, if it just happened to be a white only tree accidentally. Your racism is obvious and objectionable to me. PS You must be a redneck from hicks ville, or, at least, display the same character traits!

[/ QUOTE ] My problem is that if a couple of dumb racist kids planted the nooses that it shouldn't lead to condemnation of an entire school or schoolboard. Allegations of racism should be investigated separately from allegations of physical violence. You're attempt to justify violence is ridiculous. One of us definitely has the character traits of someone who is racially biased.

How about reparations first, for the physical violence done to americans africans when slavery was the norm? And when the fortunes have been redistributed between african americans, native americans and white americans then we will look at AC, but not before, when the obvious injustice of the current society, which is still tolerated or, de facto, accepted by people like you!
