I know Dr. Alveda King and I have emailed her over this situation. She appears to be misled and to be going in the direction of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Too many people are advocating things that MAY LEAD to more violence. For example there was the RED PICKUP incident where an 18 year old man had to two hanging nooses over his back bumper. This was in Alexandria, which is only a hop, skip and jump from Jena (closest major Louisiana city).

He was delibrately driving up and down in front of the people who were leaving that had been bused in.

I am getting very pro-actively involved to try to promote PEACE rather than more violent acts...

Where have you been? Just read some of the garbage on the nation of islam site. We the white race are referred to as a “destructive species” and it calls for our “elimination” from the planet. Kinda reminds me of Hitler’s attitude toward the Jews. Of course it isn’t racism because blacks can’t be racists. (sarc)

Thank you, again!


"Oddly, the commentary by a black sports columnist from Fox had more facts/information than many of the Mainstream Media on the Jena 6...'


That is very interesting, indeed.

Are you a living, walking, character out of a Jimmy Buffet book?
