On a side note, I watch a little bit of the Salt & Peppa show (don't ask me why) and they were having this rally about this group of black kids that beat 1 white kid to the point of unconscienceness(sp??) and some of the black kids (I'm not sure how old, early teens) got in trouble with the law, and 1 went to jail. So, the rally was for how terrible it was for the poor victim black kid who was apart of a beating from him and his 5 friends to have to go to jail. I think the rest were also facing charges. And Salt or Peppa had their kids and telling them how bad society is that black kids would have to go to jail for attempted murder.
Now I'm not racist, but when I hear stuff like this I want to be.

You are talking about the Jena 6 and there is more to it. There were a lot of tensions before that with blacks and whites when a group of white students hung nooses from a tree at the high school and were only suspended for a few days. Also the kid that was beaten supposedly was treated and partied that same night with friends. Not saying what they did was right but I'm not black so I don't know how it feels to live with close minded assholes from the south. Attempted murder does seem too harsh though if the injuries weren't that life threatening IMO. Here's a little more info on it.
