White Supremacist Groups March on Jena, LA Today
« on: January 21, 2008, 01:17:19 PM »
They're marching on Jena today to protest the MLK Holiday and the Jena 6. Now, ya'll remember when the black folks marched into Jena, the town shut down cause they were "gone fishing". This article doesn't mention the town shutting down for THEM, they probably have some 75% off sales going on for them ::). Well, we know racism is still alive and well, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just blind and deaf.

I hope their turnout turns out to be dismal. When we had the march for the Jena 6, 20,000 supporters showed up.

This is to be expected.  White supremecist groups march every year on this date.  You just don't always hear about it.  Sad to say, but under law they have every right.  They will also get plenty of support from many who agree with the premise of their march.  It's the way of the world.  Let's just hope that some of us don't go there with the intent of causing trouble and getting in trouble with the law in Jena.  The "rules" change in this type of situation.  The best repsonse to this is..........................

I agree.  And personally, I'm glad they march.  I'd much rather know who these people are than not.

That's why I'm glad whenever a racist, especially one in public office, is outed, so we can all know who they are. Taking the hood off of the Klansman so to speak.

I just read an article about the march.  It was pretty peaceful, though ignorant, as expected.  LOL.  They had about 50 supporters, and there were about 100 counter demonstrators.  There was one arrest, and it was of a counter demonstrator from the Black Panther Party.  This is the same group who caused all the ruckus at the Sept. 20th rally.  They are just about as ignorant as the KKK and white supremacist folks.

Many were marching in their hearts and not in the streets. White supremacist have always represented the underground hate that resides in the white community secretly... These guys are extremist while the others sit on school boards, hold professional jobs and have influence in high places.... This is quite sad though... What a country...
