Racism in Jena Louisiana
by Fred Nance Jr.

America has a lot of nerve going to another country (Iraq) to promote democracy and fairness when it cannot produce the same for itself. The malicious and nefarious acts of White America upon Blacks in Jena, Louisiana demonstrate the inequality and inequities of America. How does White America justify this catastrophe?

Jena and White America have legalized racism. America allows White judges to use their “power” to degrade and disintegrate the Black families of Jena. America allows White Supremist to perpetrate racism upon the Black families of Jena. America allows Jena to use inequalities and injustices to jail Blacks when Whites, who commit similar offenses, get suspension from school. Robert M. LaFollette Sr. (1925), American Political & Reform Leader, once stated “…let no man think that we can deny civil liberty to others and retain it for ourselves….”

A French philosopher, Michel Eyquem De Montaigne (1592) once said “There is no man so good, who were he to submit all his thoughts to the laws, would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.” This seems to earmark the judge who denied an appeal bond to the young black man who received the injustice of racism. Thomas Jefferson was right when he said, “Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operation, perverted into tyranny.”

Jena appears to be part of the White Supremist party. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1882), American Poet, Unitarian Minister and Philosopher, was stated “Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to affairs. The people are to be taken in very small doses.” White America still considers Black America has a minority of one. Oliver Wendell Holmes (1894), American Poet, Novelist and Physician, once stated “If a man is a minority of one, we lock him up.” There is no morality for White America. Arthur Schopenhauer (1860), German Philosopher, was said “Compassion is the basis of all morality.”

It seems Jena is trying to take the young Black people of its town one at a time to conquer their souls and to deny them equal justice. Why didn’t the local prosecutor jail the Whites involved in hanging the nooses on the tree? If America sits silent on this act of blatant racism by the District Attorney’s office, law enforcement and the judicial system of Jena, it sits silent on justice and equality for all. Henri Frederic Amiel (1883), Swiss philosopher, was stated “Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence.”

It has always been the “legal” practice of White America to pervert their system of justice on Black America. This will never change unless Black America exchanges blows with White America. Henry David Thoreau (1862), American Libertarian Writer, states “Whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it.”

Now we have the FBI and other State Legislatures seeking information as if they want justice for Black America. Let’s not forget William Godwin (1836), English Minister, Reformer and Philosopher, who stated “Government was intended to suppress injustice, but its effect has been to embody and perpetuate it.” The only justice Black America can claim for itself is to proactively fight against these injustices. Clarence Darrow (1930), American Lawyer, once said “There is no such thing as justice, in or out of court. As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.”

The District of Attorney of Jena, Louisiana, the United States Legislatures and our Court systems can declare victory over the criminal activity of Jena by releasing the young Black male they have put in prison. The function of the prosecutor under the Federal Constitution is not to tack as many skins of victims as possible to the wall. His/her function is to vindicate the right of people as expressed in the laws and to give those accused of a crime a fair trial. Louis D. Brandeis, Supreme Court Justice, once stated “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law. To declare that in the administration of criminal law the end justifies the means; to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure conviction of a private criminal; would bring terrible retribution.”

It is just as well that justice is blind; she might not like some of the things done in her name if she could see them (unknown author).

I guess we are finally getting to the root of the problem in Jena. The white supremist of Jena is attempting to send these children to jail. They have already sent one to jail.

This is not a strange occurrence. This is happening all over the United States. “Jena” is in every city, county and local government.

When will America wake to their racism and racial unbalance? Why are the black kids targeted by the white establishment? Where is the equal justice? What is your stance? Where do you position yourself?

O.J. Simpson freed after posting bail

What is O.J. thinking about? Nevertheless, what makes people think O.J. should not have a bail or bond like anyone else. People are up in rage over the amount of his bail. He is not a flight risk. O.J. should be able to get a decent bail or bond like anyone else.

This disparity is typical of our justice system. The scales of our system our truly unbalanced.

Our justice system is doing what it does best, hindering the legal processes of black men.

I am not justifying what O.J. did. I am speaking out about justice and equality.

I was listening to the Sean Hannity show tonight. He had Mr. Furman, who has not gotten over his last loss with O.J., and another “attorney” talking about how O.J. is guilty. This kind of thinking is distorted. Sean did not have anyone talking on his show to give a fair and accurate account from another perspective, O.J. perspective.

Let the man have a fair trial.
