  • this i don't understand. six people beat up one kid and the NAACP supports the six attackers?

  • The song is called "Take Courage My Soul"

  • really?

  • how does cuts and bruises on face become attempted murder,the district attorney said to the black students 'I can ruin you life with the stroke of a pen' just because the black students staged a 'sit in' for the lack of action taken on the nooses.

    The song is called 'The storm is passing over'

  • What's the name of the song they are singing it's beautiful

  • well the beating would have never happened if the school and community had properly dealt with the students that hung the nooses. Hanging nooses is a hate crime, they're a historic symbol of violence and oppression in our nation. I would've kicked the white kid's ass too...and I am white.

  • Funny how you can talk shit about white people but know not a thing about the jena 6

  • ^^^You gotta see this video: "MLK 2007" Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech Rendition. Unbelievable.... Check it out..

  • This is white people for you; they have selective memory. They all know that the guy had been taunting the Jena 6 with racial slurs. One of the kid got beat up by a white student couples days before. They hung nooses on the tree. A white boy pulled a shotgun on three black boys. They disarmed the boy and reported that to the authority. The white boy didn't get charge but the three black kids got charged with numerous crimes.

  • If you would have followed the story you would know that some of the same black boys who fought, were beaten up and threatened at gunpoint by whites before the fight with the white kids occured nothing happened to those whites. I hate when people don't know all the facts and make ignorant statements learn the facts then comment.
