  HOUSTON -- The district attorney prosecuting a racially charged beating case in the small Louisiana town of Jena abruptly reduced attempted-murder charges Monday against a black high school student accused of attacking a white student, drawing cautious praise from civil rights leaders who contend the charges were excessive and part of a pattern of uneven justice in the town. Mychal Bell, 16, a former Jena High School football star, and five other black students had been facing the potential o

  Photos from the soldier's MySpace.com homepages... Effectiveness of Army's Anti-Racist Policies Questioned :: WRAL.com Fort Bragg — After neo-Nazis and other white extremists were found in the 82nd Airborne Division a dozen years ago, the Army implemented policies barring soldiers from taking part in racist hate groups.

  The Supreme Court, who ruled that they were exempt from minimum wage and overtime protections, dealt a stunning economic blow to home health aides, an industry dominated by poor black women. —“The court’s ruling is another blow to struggling, low-wage women,” said Nancy Duff Campbell, a co-president of the National Women’s Law Center. “It means that home care workers, who are overwhelmingly low-income women of color, will continue to be unfairly treated despite providing essential

Charge reduced in 'Jena 6' case | Chicago Tribune

I don’t live there. I live in Las Vegas.

We have our own weird trials happening, or about to happen…that I’m sure will bring all sorts of misguided racial tension…as the last OJ trial did.

I’m not missing it. There’s racial tension here where I live…and everywhere else. It’s astounding. It doesn’t make any sense.

My point is…and it’s the last time I make it. You can’t take the law into your own hands and start beating the **** out of people because you don’t like their attitude.

Was hanging those ropes on that tree a possible hate-crime? yeah. Probably was. Did these six kids have the right to beat the white kid up because of it? I don’t blame them. But, it’s wrong. It’s against the law.
