A Jena 6 Learning Moment for White Folks

That USA Today op-ed pleased me so much, I'm going to drop a clue I've determined a lot of y'all need based on the conversation in newspaper comment sections nationwide.

I judge anyone who responded to the Jena 6 discussion with a discussion of criminality in the Black community to be racist. Yes, just like that. They do nothing to address or explain ANY of the facts on the ground there...they just attack. I am kinder to those who responded with respect for the issue but dismay over the avatars thereof (though they do nothing to address or explain ANY of the facts on the ground there either). I accuse them of moral cowardice.

Given the piss-poor media on this, those who think the entire series of events was "nooses get hung, black boys jump white boy" are just ignant. It took a minute for me to stop calling them ignant assholes, though. Had to remember the asshole part is only justified once you've been given the real data and you reject it.
