Jena 6

The whole Jena 6 issue in my opinion could have been completely prevented. Racial inequality, segregation should be a thing of the past. From what the media has reported, Jena is 85% white, and racial inequality in the town isn't a new story. It seems as though in the past 6 months name calling, racial slurs and racial inequality has become completely magnitized by the media. Ever since Kramer blurted out the N word in his comedic stand-up, it is absolutely inhuman for a white person to say the N word without being penalized or fired for that matter. (Don Imus and his crew) What people need to understand is that "everyone matters" and we don't need to be calling anyone names in reference to the color of their skin, hair, eyes,how tall / short they are ....you get the drift. The media has been putting a whole lot of emphasis on the black protestors. I don't believe I can recall seeing any white indviduals protesting. From what I have heard from people who did actually protest in Jena, there were most definitely more blacks, yet their were whites as well who were in favor of the Jena 6.
