Side note For Jena

2007, and still no rights. Its a shame that we can't even sit underneath trees anymore. Something as harmless as hiding away from the shade is even off limits now. In the words of Mos Def- "The Fuck I'm supposed to tell my Children?". What can WE say? Lets not get it confused here. This is not just a Black problem, or a White problem, this is a Human problem. How are we to look each other in the face anymore. I don't even think the devil could dream up such a scenario.

"If a black person does something in Jena, they do more time than a white person. It's always been that way," "The white kids here can run loose, drink beer, whatever. But if you are black, don't you dare act like that."
-Melissa Bell(Mother of Mychal Bell)
