I'm not saying that that can't be the case; I do know some towns that are like that. But people in the other regions of the country assume that the entire South is a racist cesspool and all the whites are in the KKK.
That kind of thinking is in itself the same kind of prejudice as what they think they're rallying against. | well said.
Sharpton, and his merry band of shit stirrers thinks that we are all uneducated morons.
I tell ya, if we as the caucasion race came together and stood up to them this shit wouldn't happen anymore. |

Rep Power: 49 | | | And lerxt, guitarest demonstrated what you are talking about in his post when he was speaking on race relations and said , "Up North its not as bad at all, the Blacks and Whites get along really well,"
Oh really???? Perhaps in Connecticut, but that statement is NOT TRUE in the rest of the North. Ever hear of the riots in Boston over school busing? How about what were the worst riots in the nation's history at the time when New Yorkers went apeshit after Lincoln instituted the draft saying things like, "we're not going to fight for the freedom of niggers".
OR have you EVER been to Montana, Utah, Wyoming etc? I have and in Montana you DON'T SEE black people. In a town of 150,000 (Great Falls) you can go for literally WEEKS without seeing a black person. And who do you think was the bigger racist, my uncle from Montana or my uncle from Mississippi? Not even close!
The north still likes to hold slavery over our heads (the South) totally FORGETTING that it was NORTHERN MERCHANTS and NORTHERN SHIPS that made slavery possible. More slaves entered this country through Newport, RHODE ISLAND than through all of the southern ports put together!!
Basically at the end of the day racism isn't confined by geography! And I'm sick of sanctimonious Yankees who act like it is.
And the action of the prosecutor in this case were not IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM racist. He threw the book at six THUGS who beat an unconscious person while that person was bleeding from the ears. ANY DECENT PROSECUTOR WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME!!!  |

Rep Power: 49 | | | will, u cant hold a group of people or an area or region of the country responsible for something more than 100 years ago...north or south. so far ive lived in upstate NY, south MS and dever, Co.....and to be honest, now theyre all the same as far as race relations go. most people get along with each other, no matter what ethinicity they are. its always those few ignorant hicks, hatemongers, and seperatists (of all races) that cause the problems. and like the old addage goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" or the few that make the most noise get the attention. im not gonna begin to pretend that i know what really happened in jena, i really think theyres something going on here that the public doesnt know about. thats just my 2 cents...spend it how u like

ANY DECENT PROSECUTOR WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME!!! | Your referring to race relations that happened decades ago and I am speaking of my personal experiences. And just for argument sakes I was raised in Biloxi and moved away when I joined the Military. I have been to North and South Dakota and it wasn't bad at all, although the "Colored count" was way low due to not many being there for what ever reason. You my friend are one who reads in between the lines, I fully support throwing all this trash in prison (all thugs not just the 6). This was a crime that should have never happened. The white kids should have never tormented the black kids. The white kids should have never made a noose. The black kids should have never beat the shit out of the white kids (although the little shits deserved it). My whole thread was pointed towards the fact that the American People will take a stand on fabricated news, or play pity on that same news. If you re read my thread / book you will see I have taken a huge stand on the common ground which is what does one pay for a crime thats committed. Now go back and read my thread and get off the race cart. You referring to me as a Yankee is in fact yet another form of Race stereo typing.
