SubscribeFirst Graders Get Lynched In ‘Jena 6′ Protest
From Monroe, Louisiana’s News Star:
Grambling president orders ‘hanging photo’ from Jena Six protest of student newspaper Web site
By Chris Day
A recent incident at the elementary school on the Grambling State University campus that resulted in a noose hanging around a small child’s neck has left university officials scrambling for answers…
Among the photos immediately ordered taken down by Judson was one of a young girl in a school uniform, a noose around her neck, being hoisted by a woman who may have been a family member.
In the photo, the girl, a student at Alma J. Brown Elementary School at Grambling, appears confused and frightened. GSU oversees the school. The child apparently was taking part in a school lesson related to events surrounding the Jena Six, criminal defendants in that Louisiana town who stand accused of beating a fellow student into unconsciousness. Their arrests on adult charges have spawned organized protests by black leaders and national attention…
According to an article in the newspaper written by Justin LaGrande, posted on the student newspaper Web site some time this week, and sent to The News-Star by Ruston Daily Leader publisher Rick Hohlt, “kindergarten and first-grade students at Alma J. Brown Elementary will always remember the day they marched for equality. The children marched in protest of the imprisonment of Mychal Bell, and the seemingly racial bias shown toward blacks in a small Louisiana town.”
LaGrande wrote that while the students “marched,” they actually only circled their playground with their teachers during the event.
“Before marching, the students were taught about racism,” LeGrande wrote. “They also learned about the events surrounding the ‘Jena Six’ and their arrest.”
According to the article, teachers “had a replica noose and explained why it is such a symbol of racism. They also allowed the children to carry chains and shackles.”
The Gramblinite’s Web site Friday included a comment from a woman who identified herself as Irene Booker. She said in her posted comment, “Yes, it was a rope around the little girl’s neck. It was a (safe) demonstration as to what the rope symbolized to blacks. This was my granddaughter and she along with so many of the other students did not understand the intimidation of the noose. I held her in my arms and she knows that I would not harm her or put her life in danger. In order to understand racism one must experience it to make the connection.” …
Some more of the photos:
Once again we are reminded of the song from the musical, South Pacific:
You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught
You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught from year to year,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear.
You’ve got to be carefully taughtYou’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late.
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate.
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
Of course Messers Rodgers and Hammerstein were preaching against America’s supposed rampant racism.

So now the race mongers are taking a page out of the jihadist playbook? Using small children as examples of racism will of course, guarantee that they become racists themselves, having been taught at such an early age by adults who profit handsomely from race baiting. Kids. These people are so appallingly ignorant of the true meaning of racism that they freely teach it to children. No wonder it wont ever go away. Grambling, heal thyself. atrocious behavior was had by all.
Lest I get hammered, so far as I know, hanging kindergartners from trees to show how ancestors were treated isnt being practiced by anyone else save Islamic jihadists. I dont give a rat’s ass what you think, there is zero excuse for this. None. It is appalling. That means no matter how you try to justify it, it is wrong, immoral, obscene and abusive.

“In order to understand racism one must experience it to make the connection.” …”
No lady, in order to ensure survival of racism one must experience it to make the connection. There is a big difference.
Any adult who had a part in this pathetic display of racism and child abuse should be arrested and charged. If a parent or guardian was involved, they should lose their parental rights.
I’m absolutely livid after reading this. Not just because of the racism, but more so because of the child abuse.

Amazing the *racist* support that these *racist* black kids get when they beat up a white kid. So racism is apparently all right, so long as the racists happen to be blacks. It’s unfortunately not uncommon these days- when the black community rallies around this kind of behavior, these black racists only gain more and more power. Going home from work every morning in the city I work in, a group of racist black men sit together on the express transit I take home, detailing noisily how inferior the white man is and how subjugated today’s black man remains. And the group nods in agreement, and the racists bring that home to their children.
If the black community truly wants to end racism, they need to start with *themselves*. A racially motivated attack, or support for someone based upon their race, is never acceptable, whether any party involved is black, white, slightly tan, or somewhere in between. Most white folks these days feel the same way- and when the small pockets of filth that comprise the Neo Nazis and KKK pop out anywhere, their tiny 12-person rallies are obliterated by the hundreds of counterprotesters decrying them.
But with blacks, it’s completely different. Where was the condemnation of being openly racist when cities were ready to riot if OJ (a clearly guilty man) was found guilty? Nobody confronts black racists because of the fear of being labelled a “white racist”, and so the behavior perpetuates.
In all honesty, this kind of disgusting racist filth by the black community seems like it would *cause* more racism than it would prevent. A white guy sitting at home on the TV sees some poor kid get beaten up and a big crowd forming in support around the *attackers* who hurt the kid. Guy would say to himself “Isn’t what they’re doing completely hypocritical?”

Hmmm…. So I guess from this “lesson” the confused children will say Hey it’s OK to get lynched. We asked for it and we deserve it! Gosh shining happy people holding nooses. The stupidity of the race baiters is not to be underestimated. No wonder they vote Democrat as a bloc. Explains a lot!

Holy Guacamole.
Didn’t they have any white employees so they could have been the ones to string up the darling children to make it authentic??
And Steve must spend some off-hours watching musicals and whistling showtunes. :-)

The people leading that “protest” needs to have their heads pulled out of their rears. I some how doubt the little kids knew what was going on, the teachers probably just told them to do this and spew a bunch of lies and half truths about how it was the white man opressing blacks again. How is it a racial bias to charge a group of thugs when they beat someone severly. Oh wait, thats right blacks can do no wrong because whites are oppressing them so its all fair, what they hell kind of message are we sending to these kids, use your skin color as an excuse for a criminal act? I would also love to see that grandmother brought up on charges for doing that to her granddaughter, and if the parents knew about it and did nothing to stop it or encouraged it, charge them with child abuse or child endangerment and yank the kid out of the household. I wish they could do it anyways and prevent another kid growing up in the racist household, though it seems like if your black then you couldn’t possibly be racist, only white cans. I really don’t care if your white, black, some where in between or neon green, if you commit a crime, you need to do the crime, not cry racism or some other BS excuse that you were oppressed or driven by an event months ago to attack some random person and therefore deserve to get away with it.

I’d be shocked if this wasn’t such expected behavior of this crowd.
Each new generation of course must be taught that whites are evil and whatever bad things befall them in their lives, it’s because whites have made the world so racially charged they can never, ever, get a fair shake.
Thus we must make sure that you are taught that whites want to hang you from trees. Republicans don’t want you to be able to go to the doctor, or to be educated. If white people had their way you’d have no jobs. And so on.
(We’ll just overlook if one of those white boys, Robert Byrd, was a Grand Klegle in the Ku Klux Klan if they’re a Democrat, though.)

And don’t forget the words of the silky pony boy……”All black men will be in prison or dead”.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:19 am
Of course they overlook Robert Byrd, kucharsk.
Ask them which political party CREATED and utilized the Klan as a militant wing during the Reconstruction era right after the Civil War. Ask them which party created Jim Crow. Ask them who the ones who were opposing the Civil Rights act of 1964 were.
Ask them what the political alignment was of the man who said “The proposition ’all men are created equal’ as now understood, has become the most false and dangerous of all political errors”.
From its very beginnings, the Democrat party never’s been on the side of Civil Rights. EVER. But because of FDR’s “New Deal” Welfare program, the African American voting bloc fell in love with Rats.
Got an article that might enlighten a few- The True History Of The Democratic Party, by a guy named Larry Elder.

Hmmmmm…..my hope is that these kids will come to realize who it was that actually draped them in chains and hung a noose around their necks. Not the whities, that’s for stinkin’ sure! And there is not a law on the books regarding hanging an empty noose on a tree, but what about putting a child in a noose hanging on a tree?
October 1st, 2007 at 10:28 am
As long as we allow racist, hateful preachers and agenda driven politicians and educators to provide only their truth about race relations in the United States we will continue to have hanging or lynching ops like the one described in this article. Has our history been marked by despicable and wretched treatment of human beings? Yes. Have we made sincere efforts to stop these abuses? Yes. Can we do much better? Yes, we must. But its time to take an objective look at slavery and include the role of African tribes, Islam, and Europeans in our assessment of slavery and mistreatment. And, as difficult as it will be for many of our citizens, it is time for us to recognize what our country has done for us, and not focus only on what our country has done to us.

Hey Doc! What color were the scum “hanging” those kids????
Please explain to us how this is really something white folks do…and also please explain why hating whites isn’t racist. I need a good laugh and your nonsense is funnier than Comedy Central.
As for that grandmother who was “hanging” her granddaughter, the County Attorney needs to file abuse charges against that woman! The teachers at that elementary school who participated in this travesty should also lose their certifications and be terminated! The race pimps want to use what a group of moron high school kids did to justify attempted murder. Hanging nooses from a tree is stupid, and the kids who did that got what they deserved: Suspended. If I’d been principal, I’d have expelled them, but that’s just me. The black kids who assaulted the white kid as “retaliation” deserve prison time…THERE IS NO WAY TO EQUATE STUPIDITY WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE!!! As long as sleazeballs like Sharpton and Jackson are around, there will be no chance for us to come together as a nation BECAUSE THOSE SLIMES THRIVE ON HATRED!!! Jackson and Sharpton are EVERY BIT as racist as they accuse white folks of being…as God is my witness I have NEVER called Jews “Hymie” and have never wanted to drive a business out of a neighborhood as being an “interloper”! I’m not perfect, but if I’m going to have ill feelings for someone, it will be for something that person did, NOT FOR WHO HE IS OR HIS RACE!!!
When we can recognize stupidity for what it is (the nooses) and criminality for what it is (the beating) and realize that race doesn’t impact everything we do in this country, THEN and ONLY then will we have reached some level of maturity as a people. But to keep dragging up events from 100 and more years ago as though that was how it still is is just plain insanity!
Rant over…and NO, I DON’T feel better.
October 1st, 2007 at 12:16 pm
As accurate and powerful as the real sharpes rifle. Good comments SR.
If Granny is the one putting her in the noose, where’s mom and dad? Why aren’t they kicking granny’s ample butt for endangering their child? Don’t tell me…. mom and dad aren’t part of the family anymore.
Where are the child protective agencies, or even the cops?
They’re upset because someone hung nooses over the “White Tree”, but no one put anyones head in the nooses, until now. Blacks lynching their own. Kinda like cheating their own, lying to their own, stealing from their own…. and that’s just the ?Rev?’s Jackson and Sharpton.
I’m part Irish, none of my relatives ever withheld food from me so I could relate and understand the Irish Potato famine. If it wasn’t for the famine, we wouldn’t have come to America.
If it hadn’t been for slavery these folks would be in Darfur. There is sooo much white racism going on over there in Darfur.

Thanx to Doom127 for beating me to the punch about the true history of the Democratic Party. Lucky for me I read all the comments before commenting myself.
To be fair, however, a large part of Black opposition to the Republican Party comes from the failure of Reconstruction, when the GOP agreed to end Federal occupation of the Southern States (which was crucial for the protection of Black rights against Democrats & the Klan) in return for the Presidency of R.B. Hayes. Political support for continued occupation of the South had waned and sputtered during the corrupt administration of Grant, & the Republican Party would likely have split over the issue, enabling the first Democratic administration since before the Civil War, which would end Reconstruction in any case.
However, blaming the Republicans for abandoning Reconstruction is like blaming the guy who walks away from a rape because he doesn’t want to get involved. Yea, he’s a coward, but is he as bad as the rapist?
Ask a Democrat.

Congrats SG….you have had this up since yesterday. Fox News just put it up on their website within the last hour. You scooped them again.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:32 pm
This is even so more disgusting than the spectacle of the Jena racist rally.
I can see no good coming for America until someone stands up and says Enough.
So let’s get it right - we have to paddle our kids - so they understand what corporal punishment is?
We have to encourage all husbands to smack the little lady - so we can all understand what domestic abuse is?
Sorry people - I don’t have to step in crap to know what crap is. . .And neither does any person who has a real education, who uses their brains instead of their hate.
I have never hung anyone - nor have I ever owned a slave - and I damn well bet none of these moroons have been hung or owned as a slave. So the only point of this stunt is to teach racism and hate - and that is a Hate Crime. Not to mention child abuse.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:38 pm
If they really wanted to inpress the kids, they should have really hung one of the kids. That would have made a lasting impression.
October 1st, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Irene Booker claims it was her granddaughter, I am not sure from the article if granny held the kid up for the noose or not.
I am damn well sure that the idiot in the picture can barely support her own weight.
Just one slip and the child could have been injured or killed.
Idiots.

Can you imagine the foaming at the mouth screeching that would ensue if say, the University of West Virginia…(Robert Byrd land) sponsored a day where kindergartners and pre schoolers could burn crosses, wear nifty sheets and pointy hats, and walk around the playground with axe handles and crowbars “jus lookin”. Think about the fall out from something like that, and the participants in the “practice hangings” would be waddling out front like an elephant seal on steroids howling about injustice and racism.
Somehow it just puzzles me how grown adult human beings can be so patently ignorant that they will have their toddlers “experience racism” so they can recognize it later. God, hanging children. F*cking hanging KIDS! That is beyond ignorant. It is evidence of mental disease..NOBODY who is sane can do that to their kids. Nobody.
Irene Booker wasnt the only one there…and it wasnt her idea. Grambling University faculty thought it was a good idea. Therein lies the racism. Rampant, festering intelligencia exhibiting the most vile form of racism ever. Using it on kids. No wonder there is so much tension. Look who is in charge of teaching children tolerance. what a god damned joke.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Yes, this is an outrage. It’s appalling, disgusting, reprehensible, perhaps even fattening, but what can we do about it it ? Really ?
Complain about this and you’re a racist. If, you’re black and you complain about this, you’re an Uncle Tom.
SG has done the leg work and posted this for us. We can try to talk about it to our friends and co-workers. But how many people in North America are really paying attention ? I mean, OJ just got charged again, Brittany will no doubt appear soon, sans panties, Paris is due for a new sex tape and Lindsay is hurtling off the tracks at a prodigious speed. Fascinating stuff, that.
But who, other than us -that one percent of the population who actually reads sites such as this- is paying attention to crap like this ?
It seems that we’re being pushed into a race war, whether we want one or not.
And most of the people on this continent are going to chew their cud with a contented, bovine smile on their faces and let that happen.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Sadly, Your right DW.
If Mikey Jackson did this, Then people would watch.
If that were my child, Alot of people would be spitting teeth, Granny included.
“waddling out front like an elephant seal on steroids howling”
LMAO.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:16 pm
This article makes me sick to my stomach. What is that “Granny” so happy about? This is not a trip to the zoo! Good God, what has this Country become?
And if a picture could say a thousand words…look how terrified that little girl, with the noose around her neck, looks. She looks terrified and confused.
These are supposed to be Educators? Don’t they realize what kind of long lasting effect this crazy exercise might cause? My daughter is a teacher and has told me at this grade level, children can’t comprehend or digest this type of lesson.
SG, another song comes to mind….”Hey teachers, leave those kids alone”………..”all in all were just another brick in the wall”……….

More great news from the Jena 6:
At Grambling, committees will consider a range of possible sanctions, including dismissal, leave without pay or a written reprimand for the faux lynching of children on their campus. Committees? They need committees to figure out the proper action to take against the asshats that did this to these children? No wonder these people can’t advance beyond the 1950’s. How about the university president just does the right thing and fires them all. Without a committee to tell him how to do it.
John Mellencamp fans the flames of hatred with a new rock video about Jena. He claims he’s just telling a story, not reporting on the news. That gives him a pass on the truth I guess. Just what we need….the Cougar making money off racism. Of course he isn’t the first. He just joins a long list of others doing the same like jackass jackson and sharpless.
The mayor of Jena, trying to pacify everyone, appoints still more committees to study racism. Now more committees to study racism is just what we need. Like there haven’t already been a gazillion of these already. And we all know what the findings will be….just like all the others in the past….the bad old white boogy man is responsible for all the racism.
There is a regressive gene that has infected America.

Naacp, black KKK makes big deal about nooses. Some whites were lynched too. So GET OVER IT!
The Truth about Nooses: Lynchings: By State and Race, 1882-1968 *
*Statistics provided by the Archives at Tuskegee Institute.
86 years of lynchings in all the states =
Total 1,297 whites 3,446 blacks total 4,743
http://www.law.umkc.edu/facult.....state.html
getting to the bottom of the woodpile
Why did the black student asked the question to sit under the tree at Jena? Whites and blacks off and on sat under that tree, one of the 6 has a mother who is secretary of the local Naacp. About 200 displaced blacks from New Orleans are housed in Jena.
Who do you think set the fire that burned the school house down? See what they have been going through this year after the fire.
Jena High Rises Above

Historically Traditional Black colleges and universities is what these closeted racist call themselves. Here in Florida they scream if you point out to them that they have their all black schools and we pay for it! I believe reverse racism and hate teachings are very much alive in these schools and is the norm in these favored all black schools.
JENA 6 FRAUD AFTERMATH: Friday an Alexandria Black man goes berserk after being hyped up over al sharpton’s and black kkk march! Ashley, age 63, 12 hour stand-off in his lawyer’s office behind the courthouse and killed the mailman delivering mail and one other, He wounded two of the lawyers who are in critical condition. google Town Talk, Alexandria, Louisiana
The black activist invaded Jena, Louisiana and the surrounding towns, 30,000 thousand came in mass across the borders of a state and took over a small town, they had a black KKK party. They came without water, trash bags or anything else to support themselves. They left a mess of litter for others to clean up; they used Red Cross funds, and Louisiana services we pay for.
Write Fraudalert@usa.redcross.org and tell them to collect from naacp, jesse and al. The Red Cross wrote me that they are billing Louisiana. They cost the state thousands of dollars in added services. Write the governor, senators and tell them NOT TO PAY!

Someone wrote this on one of the blogs; I was upset about the demise of that tree myself. I was taught in school long ago Joyce Kilmer’s poem, and I know that “Only God can make a Tree”.
“When I read about the ‘execution’ of the Jena ‘noose tree,’ it reminded me of a news item that appeared soon after America’s entry into World War II. The story: A Japanese troop train was barreling across the countryside when it abruptly came to an unscheduled stop. The officer in command … angrily strode up to the locomotive and demanded to know why the engineer stopped the train. The engineer explained that the train had apparently broken down. Whereupon the officer ordered the troops off the train, had them surround the locomotive, and began beating it with bamboo poles as punishment for stopping.
The editors who ran this absurd piece of propaganda undoubtedly recognized it for what it was, but elected to run it anyway as a patriotic contribution to the war effort. And for that reason, we can forgive them, just as we must forgive Jena’s school officials for cutting down the ‘noose tree.’
Too bad. A tree — a tree — is sacrificed on the altar of so called racism …”
October 10th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Cajie…I’m with you on the tree. (Well, not literally speaking) In the grand scheme of things, what did it heal, what did it solve? Poor tree!
