wooow did anyone see dr. phil about the jena six? thats horrible =( i think that the white kid did say something offensive to the jena six (the six africian-american boys) that made them beat him up. I mean realli!! there getting charged as adults for attempted murder!! they have there whole lives ahead of them! i think that the legal system in america is corrupt, i have no doubt in my mind. I'm not saying what they did was right, two wrongs dunt make a right.. i think they made a stupid mistake and tried to take the law into there own hands. I live in canada and i remember when i was in grade seven a white boy (who had moved here from the states) in my class called a black boy the n word. he got suspended for like the month or more (i dunt remb but it was a long time) and got community service. =)... now going bak to the jena six.. and these white kids who did a hate crime to these black boys worse than what that kid in my class said. got a three day suspension  that is unfair!!! what do u ppl think? |

Honestly, im not exactly sure how I feel. But they definately didnt have the right to almost kill the kid.
And I think theres more racism towards whites these days because people dont find it as offensive as you would towards a black person (or african american, whichever you choose). Like calling a white person a cracker is just as negative as a calling a black person the n word. People assume that racism only deals with blacks because of them being the "minority" when in reality, its everyone.
Not that that little rant I just dealt much with the jena six. I'm not really up to date on that situation.

i kno but the n word has a lot of history behind it of slavery and such. No one has the right to discriminate against anyone. everyone is alittle racist i think. when u think of a black person you think of a gangsta. Stereotyping is almost worse than those horrible words. its not fair. I wish we could just see past color, race, and religion.

hm. i never heard about this until a girl wore black all day and wrote 'i wear black for jena 6' -- i dont know much about this at all, but i personally find any attacks against black people, asian people, ect. wrong. i think calling out a white person is wrong too, but i think its probably more hurtful for black people being called out because they are the minority. and i also agree w/you megan that it is going both ways and that we focus our attention towards the black people because they were treated like sh*t and i think sometimes they are treated like sh*t today. actually, i think mexicans also are treated like shit because i live in san diego and i see this every day of my life. my school even researched this group of people who destroy immigrant workers homes and churches. i know they don't have the right to be here if they're illegal, but i think doing that is crossing the line. (and the fact that the guy who was the leader denied everything, calling out the girl who wrote the article a piece of shit, hoping that she'll get into pbs/nbc/ect because he called them all fakes and liars, as well as including "i hope those migrant workers rape you 14 year olds")

but i think its probably more hurtful for black people being called out because they are the minority. whhhat? black people r the minority ahha it actual the reverse black pp arent the majority but close, i think its asians that r the majority. Africa is a huge population, plus there are more people from another desent in america then whites. Not joking its true. What makes it hurtful is that there is ALOT of history behind racism for black ppl, slavery and such. like white ppl (the kkk)think they have the right to burn black ppl on a cross after they got rights, like omfg that pisses me off. No race has tortured white ppl for the color of there skin, so i dunt kno why ur pissed off no offense. |

No race has tortured white ppl for the color of there skin, so i dunt kno why ur pissed off no offense. in america or just where you live? in america, the obvious majority is white people.. asians/africans/ect are the minority. they aren't the majority, unless you are talking about where you live because certain areas have more of a certain ethnicity than others. and they're not pissed off i don't think, unless i'm wrong. i think what they're saying is that everything a white person does to a black person is wrong and white people always get blamed on because people view it as racism, however there have been cases where black people do things to white people, yet people fail to realize that is racism as well. i think that was their message. |

I'm sorry but white people are the majority in America, its a known fact. Yes, there are alot of immigrants in America, but there still the minority.
But it is also known that in so many years (theres not an exact number) that white people could BECOME the minority because of all the people coming to America.
