If Louisiana gets away with this one, then Hurricane Katrina was only the beginning.... (Authors Den Writer Eddie Thompson is in the NBC Video.)

Poem Artwork




jena louisiana--
home of seething hate
no different than that
of the sunni or the shiite
who all look alike but
don't mind creating chaos
over a God they claim to love
but human life is undermin'd;

in jena louisiana--
built on the backs of slaves and
women understated, while the
good old boys, a disgraceful breed
hang on to Jim Crowism outdat'd
against all laws of freedom found'd
makes me sick to my stomach...
where we celebrate the free, and
fight terror overseas, when the terror
still exists under an old southern tree.

The Real Untold Story--2007, Racism Still Ugly in Jena Louisiana.

(Where are you now President Bush? Another disaster is about to happen, will you miss this one as well?)


 We need 1,000,000 signatures. Your freedoms and mine depend on it....the people who are overseas dying for this country don't deserve to see a nation more divided than the enemies they are fighting on their own homeland soil. There are over 250,000 signatures now. We need 1,000,000!

And we will GET 1,000,000....whose with me on this?

Wearing Black - 9/20/07

Importance: High

 

This is important information that will benefit us all in America ! It's
2007 and we are still fighting this bull.  MLK started it and the struggle continues!!!


Mark this day in your book.  Michael Baisden is asking all to attend the sentencing of the Jena 6, Louisiana young black boys on September 20, 2007.


These boys can go to prison for life behind a high school fight against white students.  This is serious family, and could be any one of our youths.

If you are unable to show up and send a message about Racism then Michael Baisden is asking all to wear Black that day  for Unity and to send a silent [or loud]  prayer to those young men who are fighting racism on behalf of us all.



Pass this important news to everyone. Spread the word.

how can they do this it aint a white/black thing its a district attorney thing because my son is 16 and is white in jail to and wont tell me how come they wont set a bond, what evidence they got on him in a puli. hearing they didnt have none no medical evidence at all just a written/verbal statement. so i guess the da thinks he can put kids in jail. the noose was uncalled for so was 6 on 1 fight but justin (white boy) need to learn to keep his mouth shut, and he wasnt hurt he went to ring ceremony, a party, brought a gun to school and thought law backing him make raciest remarks in town

Louisiana is broken: has always been corrupt. In fact, when I lived there in 91? A Klansman and a criminal were running for governor!!!!! The mayor of N'Awlins reran for Mayor and the people re-elected him!!!!! The governor...don't get me started!!!! Shoot, all their politics is corrupt. Has been for many years...

If ya think about it, the whole political system in the US is broken. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer...ad nauseaum.

On my way to sign the petition, and I will be wearing the color black myself. Sad. Hidden in plain sight, the prejudice continues. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. POWERFUL write, excellently penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *tears*

I like the poem and thank you for expressing it plain and simple; yet eloquently. There is a great need to get involved. I pray for others to take action along with praying continually for all concerned. I have sent the information of Jena 6 directly to the Presidential Prayer Team; am trusting God to work this one out for good. With God ALL things are possible.

Thanking God for you!

Just signd it and watched the news clip. It's never going to stop because as long as it exists the politians have something they can lie about fixing. Another promise broken. I am ashamed as a white woman that another white woman has raised her children to do such a dirty Godless thing. I pray something good comes of this some where.

Cynth'ya your words are breaking my heart as we were raised to believe that we were all made in the image of God, therefore we are all beautiful people with a big heart who feels love and pain the same. We were taught to treat others as we wish to be treated. This is a terrible situation and it has to STOP.
Thank you for sharing,

Just did. When is this going to end; it's no wonder the world's screwed up: we've taken God out of our nation; now we are paying for it. God help us! Sad, sad how people hate each other based on the color of their skin, their religious affiliation, or their ethnicity. We need to get over this and learn to accept ALL people, no matter WHAT they are, WHO they are, or WHERE they are from! NUFF SAID!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Thanks for bringin' this situation to light; it needs to be SHOUTED from the rooftops! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!! >:(
