Peace and blessings to everyone in Jena.
Today is the day and I wish I could be there with everyone else.
I hope everyone down there stays safe and I hope that the entrenched white establishment there (and its supporters) don't do anything stupid.
Let me stress this, white people: Bull Connor is dead.
Black people, from what I've seen and heard, you are representing us well. Let the new movement begin.
And a special shout-out to Fox News, who apparently has declined to cover this story, instead choosing to focus on the world-shaking story of the cop who shocked a white woman with a taser outside of a club, and of course, O.J. Also, a shout-out to CNN, who chose to refer to the Jena 6 as the "So-Called Jena 6" in their coverage this morning. That's mighty white of both of you.
Shout-out to President Bush, whose press conference just so happened to coincide with the rally. It is Thursday morning. Doesn't he normally do these things on Wednesday night?
A few words for Jesse Jackson: Just stop, brother. Now is not the time. You know what I'm talking about.
To the people around the country who just don't understand what the big deal is: Hanging nooses is NOT FUNNY. White people beating up on black people should also be arrested, but they weren't. It's a crime to point a shotgun at people. You don't have a leg to stand on.
I hope everyone down there stays safe.

Let's set the record straight! Nooses are not funny and they were punished. But beating someone up is not in the same catagory and should be dealt with appropriately. Just because the assalients were black should'nt let them off the hook! Sharpton, Jackson and of course the always present racist Faricon should be ashamed of themselves for grandstanding and trying to turn this local justice into a national racial trial!
Yeah, three days suspension for inciting racial hatred on school property. That's a real big punishment.
No one said they should be let off the hook, either. All we want is fair treatment, fair punishment and a fair trial.
If Al Sharpton hadn't said anything, no one would even know what was going on down there. It's not like we could depend on CNN to get the word out.
I haven't heard much out of Jesse Jackson all day and I didn't even know Louis Farrakhan was in Louisiana. Farrakhan's not racist...he just doesn't like Jews. Big difference.
