In the unlikely event that an American soldier by definition my hero purposely shoots Iraqi civilians for no reason, I would want him to rot in jail for the rest of his life, just like anyone else would. If my own cousin robbed a store, I would want him prosecuted to the fullest extent possible, just like anyone else should be.
But if six teenagers from my own race beat another teenager unconscious simply because he was taunting them, I would want them to roam the streets freely for the sole reason that they share my skins concentration of melanin.
At least thats what Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and thousands of others were saying last week as they invaded the town of Jena, Louisiana to free the Jena Six.

One could almost smell the desire of the media and the race-warlords for there to be a riot. They’ve done their very best to manufacture one.
you nailed it-
Six white men beat a black man and Jesse Jackson sides with ... the black man
Six black men beat a white man and Jesse Jacksons sides with ...the black men
If six white students would have beat and stomped an unconscious black student, they would have been charged with a Federal Hate Crime. The motivation was racial, after all.
Wonder how that is being reported and felt in the "Black Community".
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are trying to take race relations in this country back to the 50’s (the 1850’s that is).
"[a]ny act of violence inflicted by a mob upon the body of another person and from which death does not result shall constitute the crime of lynching in the second degree and shall be a felony. Any person found guilty of lynching in the second degree shall be confined at hard labor in the State Penitentiary for a term not exceeding twenty years nor less than three years, at the discretion of the presiding judge."
Every defense I’ve seen of the Jena 6 has been based upon a comparison to the way others were treated for different actions.
I have yet to see anyone make the case that what they did was not the serious crime with which they are charged. Only that what they actually did doesn’t matter.
MLK would be upset with Jesse and Al for being racists and would probably kick them out of his life for it.
This is precisely the point. To the degree that American blacks are still drinking the race baiters’ kool-aid, they are still figuratively enslaved. When the day comes (and one day it will) when they say “No more” to the race baiters will be the day that they have thrown off their chains.
The town of Jena is dispensible for the cause of liberalism.
Where is the ACLU? Where is Jessie? Where is Al? Where is the outrage?
Blacks on white ... crickets chirping!!
CNN portrayed the attack as justified, after all, the White boys were not sensitive to the Black’s feelings.
Jackson and Sharpton are holding back their constituency. They are the racists.
Of course the cops instantly rule out hate crime charges, no double standard here.
