Okay, I may get a lot of flack about this post, but its my blog so I am just gonna say what I feel and hope the readers try and understand my point of view.  You don't have to agree with me, just try and see both sides of the coin if you do NOT agree with what I am about to say.

Most everyone is aware of the incident involving the 6 teens in Jena, Louisiana who were charged with beating another student.  Notice I did not refer to the 6 as "6 black teens" nor did I refer to the other student as "a white student".  Guess what?  It doesn't matter what color any of them were now does it?

I am an activist and I cannot tell you the countless emails I have received on this matter literally begging for my support of these 6 teens.  I have to tell you that I am SHOCKED that anyone is supporting them and is NOT in favor of seeing them punished.  Again, I do NOT care what color any of them are, they still beat another human being to the point of unconsciousness.  What part of that do most people NOT get??????

Al Sharpton started this BS about this being racial and being racially unfair.  Well, it is NOT about race at all.  Its about 6 people literally almost beating another person to death.  What role does color play here?  NONE!

I am from the South where most people are racist.  I am glad to say I was not raised to be ignorant like that.  I was not taught to look at people for their color.  I was taught to see people for who they are NOT their skin color.

However, I cannot help but wonder if this situation were reversd. (6 white kids beating 1 black kid) would ANYONE scream it was racial.  HELL NO they wouldn't.  I am so sick of all the racism crap.  Why can people not move beyond that and learn to live in peace???

How come AOL has a special section called "Black Voices"?  Yet they do not have one called "White Voices"?  Not that I care, but WHY is it only racial when it is reversed.  I guarantee if AOL had "White Voices" as one of their sections but no "Black Voices", someone would sue the hell out of them.

Also, there is a Miss Black America Pagent but NOT a Miss White America Pagent?  Again, I could care less, but WHY does no one seem to think things like THIS are racial because clearly they would be in all fairness.

Racism exists in the minds of those people who need a crutch to lean on and refuse to move ahead.  Anyone can be anything in this life they want to be.  If you are strong willed enough NOTHING or NO ONE will hold you back.

Will the Jena 6 get my support.  Absolutely not!  They committed a crime and should be punished accordingly.  I would say the EXACT same thing if the Jena 6 were white.

Sorry, but this has been eating me up for some time and I just felt the need to let it go today.  Thanks for listening.
