I find that everything that can be used as a race issue is used as a race issue. Any way to bring the plight of the people to national attention is used. If the shoe is on the other foot it makes only a blip on anyone’s radar. My white daughter was attacked by a black basketball teammate in 7th grade. Her black female coach took the knife and disposed of it. The coach then told the team to forget about the incident and not tell anyone. My daughter told me. We filed cahrges at the local police station the next day. The coach refused to answer questions without a lawyer. When she did answer questions the girl was expelled from school and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The day after the expulsion my daughter was chased down by a large group of black youngsters, she fled to the office. They sent her home because they could not guarantee her safety. This same thing happened numerous times over a three week period. Black teachers refused to help her and one substitute actually told her she had to go and face the music. She transferred out of the school. The attacks and threats continued at our house and in our neighborhood. We had to move to insure the safety of our children. My daughter is still having problems because of this unwarranted attack and the young lady who attacked her was allowed to plead to a lesser charge because of the missing knife. We have had major financial difficulties because we had to move before selling the house. Where was the picketing and outpooring for her civil rights? Sorry we have none we are white. I used to be really big in helping the underprivileged but no more. I had no help. And you bleeding heart liberals need to understand that six on one is most definitely attempted murder. One on One is a fight and would still have been considered assualt. What exactly does everyone expect? Oh it was okay for them to do that because someone hung a noose in a tree. Was anyone hanging from that noose? Was an effigy hanging from the noose with someone’s name on it? Was anyone threatened? I’m sorry but I find that it is all way to much over a group assault. They did the crime. If five white boys had done the same thing they would have been charged. We would still have picketing from civil rights groups because it would not have been enough. People expect it. Stop expecting it. It needs to stop. They are charged with a crime but hey we are going to picket and if they actually get convicted we are going to cause a race riot, because we can make sure we intimidate the jury by doing this. It has worked before and it will work again. They fear us in numbers so regardless of whether this was right or wrong let’s make sure that we get the outcome we want. Watch. They will get the outcome they want.

So I just read that the $500,000 that was raised for the Jena 6 defense fund has yet to reach the lawyers, and the families involved refuse to account for the donations. They even stated that a myspace picture of one of their sons with hundreds stuffed in his mouth, was from him working some summer job. What a crock. It’s amazing to me that they want justice, equal justice, yet given the means to mount a fair defense, they basically steal the money and go shopping. I hope they go to jail.
