What God, site your source, and ban what you made up!

Well . . . Guess Jesse told him and he jumped.

Most Americans continue to believe that blacks respond with violence instead of dialogue, and this situation will only serve to confirm this long held belief for the majority. The students responded to what happened not with dialogue and reason, as MLK advocated, but with expected violence: they decided to beat up a white kid over it. If Obama were smart, he would distance himself from the situation (as much as he's politically able to) as the kids will likely be convicted of assault. Giving a pass to the kids just because they happen to be black would be wrong, it sends the wrong message in that assault is o.k. if you happen to be a minority. If it were six white kids assaulting another white kid, they would still be prosecuted. The law is supposed to be blind to race, gender or nationality for the committing of any crime, that is why an assault conviction is necessary here. One does not simply get a pass for assaulting another in America just because they happen to be black, purple or polka-dot color.

Im so angry those boys need a good kick in the a.. and the parents should have never let it get this far I don,t blame the media all together as someone had to make the call for them to come but in this day with all that is going on in the United States these things should not be but one way to end this mess is to lock them all in the same cell for 3days maybe they will learn how to live together.

Felony assault is not a "School yard fight"

This will be the beginning of Obama's downfall. I'm surprised it's starting so early.

Your comments are nonsensical. Whites also react with violence. Obviously you fail to realize that whites in this same case also behaved violently towards a black or blacks. This is not focused on. Do you actually think that Blacks are behind all the violence in Iraq? You should be ashamed of your comments.

Obama seems to react to things as slowly as Bush ... was he waiting for the polls to be counted before he responded to this? Also ... where was his vote concerning the MoveOn.org ad? ... wasn't he willing to stand up to the GOP bullies? ... Hillary was!!!!!!!!!!

I like the photograph ABC chose for this story. I caption it "Obama, doing his darndest to look OUTRAGED!"

how did whites inflict violence against blacks in this case? Please explain. . Also, I believe you might have arrived at the wrong article, as this story has nothing to do with Iraq. If you have any insightful comments on the issue, instead of emotional tirades and foot stomping, then please feel free to contribute to the discussion.

Osamaobama?

how old are you?

Unfortunately, I believe the possible next 911 will be this guy getting elected. Isn't it ironic that suddenly we have major civil unrest in the South? What a coincidence and how so very convenient. This is my opinion.

Um, why is this a black outrage? Six punks beat up an innocent white kid, shouldn't it be the whites that take a day off and go rally and whine about how tough their lives are in America? What a pathetic joke.

Please!! If this was 6 white guys beating one black kid it would be a hate crime, and all of you know it! Equality?? If racism is going to end BOTH sides need to stop the venom!

Obama is showing We The People that his mettle is weak and he would rather follow the extremist racist who want to condemn whites because 6 black younf men almost killed a "white boy" by beating him unconscious. These people marching in the streeta are no better than that jury that found O.J. Simpson innocent just because he was black. Shame on Obama, and Hillary, and Dodd, they are unfit for POTUS.

I understand the rage but I think what is lost is that these 6 teenagers are NOT innocents in this. They beat someone. What I believe is that if the 6 were white and the victim were black, there would be outcry if those that beat up the victim severely did NOT face a stiff prison sentence. There is a double standard in America

amen!!!!!!!!!! thanks clyde

Anyone who thinks this adolescent should be facing a 2nd degree felony charge for a schoolyard
brawl has something wrong with there thinking or they are michief makers in ths world....get your facts staright (not to say it justifies the violence)but if your read the paper and story the violence was provoked by white kids saying the blacks could not sit under a tree they demmed to be theirs ...and in someone or some individuals, hung some hang ropes with nooses from the tree as a provocation. If they adoloscents were white it would not be prosecuted as a 2nd degree felony...if anyone thinks African Americans, and all fair justice loving people in the world, are going to take this lying down have some serious misconceptions about the whole affair.

Oh Barrack! You Fool!

You can't come in now and act like you're for the cause. You had your chance. Now you really look like a politician. That's not a good look.

If it were six white kids assaulting another white kid, they would still be prosecuted.

If people took the time to research the topic before they gave their insight, we would be able to communicate better. The fight took place after a series of events that were racially motivated. Before the arrest and charges of Jena 6, a white man was arrested for beating a black teenager and he wasn't prosecuted. He was given probation.

Civil rights doesn't mean we are crying for a helping hand. It means we are demanding a fair shake. Don't deny me something because of the shade of my skin then wonder why I am outraged.

It's funny how people were singing Barack Obama's praises before today..I guess to those of you who commented, you thought he "passed" enough to get your vote. Injustice is injustice and every so often we people of color show the world that we are a mighty big family who will fight for our rights.

Now if that means that we are "thugs punks" as John stated then say it loud I'm a thug punk and I'm proud. They pretend that Justice is blind but she's not deaf.
