Sometimes I think that you don't mind enraging people, maybe you even like it. So I guess I will only upset people further with a similar question. Have we become stuck out on methods that caused action in the past? This incident was not lacking attention. I have not studied the impact of protesting or marching but it seems to be a form of action that seeks to awaken the people or bring attention to an issue. Protesting in this case did not and probably will not do that. We have got to find some new forms of action. People habituate or learn to ignore marches and protests because when the dust settles, people stop talking, demanding change, or acknowledging social inequality. Why are you cutting up?

On my local news they reported the case of the Jena 6 but they didn't give enough details about what happened in my opinion. I just want to thank you for first showing the clip a while back. It got me very riled up and I started telling all my friends about it. We all went to the NAACP to sign the petition as well. Thanks for reporting this story, otherwise I wouldn't be hearing about till just now. I did wear black today.

Please understand Jena Six isn't an issue of Black/White its an issue of injustice. So often we equate injustice to being a "black thing" because our community is usually a victim. But more accurately its POOR people who are the easiest target and unfortunately we often fit the bill. So perhaps the color black isn't appropriate but its not the color that's important it's the stand. Yo thanks for the love on Highbrid Nation.
