So America, we have come to this. A justice system that is blind but only in one eye. Seems lady justice lifts her blindfold to see if the person she represents is black or white before justice is administered.
I became privy to the news that the family of the white boy attacked by the Jena 6 is suing the Jena school board for failure to provide protection for their son, and suing the families of the Jena 6 for the attack.
Ok, under normal circumstances, I would have said that was the correct and proper thing to do; however, Jena is not a set of normal circumstances.
This is the same environment where the District Attorney threatened to Take Away The Lives of black students With The Stroke Of A Pen simply because they protested the injustice of nooses being hung from a stupid tree in the high school's commons. There was no protection for black students who became the victim of racial slurs, and unprovoked altercations as fall out from the noose incident. The parents of those students were not allowed any acceptable form of legal recourse. As a result, an innocent white boy was attacked. It is the typical cornered dog theory. If you back a dog into a corner and kick it, the dog will bite, plain and simple.
None of the black families had the resources to sue the school board or the district attorney, so essentially they were being told to just sit by and shut up. If that is justice, then I can fully understand why America is in the moral straits that it is.
So we have backlash, and a white boy is beat up. Funny thing is, the white boy was treated and released from the hospital with minor injuries, and attended a party later that evening. Now, his family is being allowed to sue because of minor injuries; however, has anyone taken into account the deep emotional injury caused by the "prank" of the nooses, and the racial slurs thrown at the black children? Go ahead, say yes, I dare you. Especially when Senator Conyers held a farce of hearing on the topic which resulted in nothing more than face time for himself. The bottom line America is this; Jena LA snubbed their nose at the black population, but uplifts the white population. So much for land of the free, eh?
If justice is truly blind in this case, the the right thing will be done. Since nothing was done to the school system in the aftermath of the attacks on the black children, nothing should be done as a result of the family of the white boy desiring to sue. The families of the Jena 6 should not be made to pay for the attack on the white boy. Instead, the entire community should have a multi-cultural come together month so that each race can begin to understand one another.
This separate brand of justice for black people in America has got to stop. After all, the saying is "And Justice For All", not "And justice for white people only".
Wake Up America.
