I saw an interesing incoming link. A bulletin board in Alexadria, LA, where support for the Jena 6 is, shall we say, spotty, linked Color of Change's response to Mr. Baisden's allegations. Their responses were interesting.
Sounds like color of change is handling the donations in the proper, legal manner and Marcus is upset because he can't get his hands on it.
He should be happy that the funds are actually paying for defense and that there is documentation accounting for all donations received.But I'm sure before it's over with, there will be more finger pointing
and accusations of mishandling among the groups.
Now, is the LaSalle Chapter of the N A A C & P going to be as up front about where the donations THEY received went? When pigs fly.
Who else is collecting in the Jena 6's name? Can THEY document where the donations went as Color of Change has?
Don't get too wired over that site, by the way. They ask stupid questions like, "Was X driving the Jag before the donations?" So many folks are angry over Jena though, that the questions Mr. Baisden raised with his McCarthy letter may be asked of the other donation collectors, since Color of Change has turned up totally clean.
