Sock and Bull: Jena Six

I've got an article coming out regarding the Jena Six fiasco, and I have got to say that the stupidity blatant in it is astounding considering we're in the year 2007. I'd expect this kind of situation in, say, as early as 1989, but come on! Shouldn't we, as a society, be beyond this kind of racial crap? We have enough to deal with when it comes to unwarranted racial prejudice with the entire radical muslim faction, that actually does pose a threat with their crazy suicide bombings, giving a bad name to the perfectly normal, friendly, non-threatening muslims, but now we have to go back to a "classic" race issue? My god. I admit that people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are borderline nutjobs that seem more like bad cartoon characters than upstanding role models...well I just said that to express my opinion of them, but we should totally be beyond hating black people because their skin is darker than ours. There's plenty of other reasons to hate people other than skin color; their's stupidity, offensive behavior, talking on a cellphone during a movie or while driving, kicking puppies, kicking kittens, attitude, their personality....so many more understandable things. I mean, I myself am a racist against people who kick kittens and puppies. That's just not cool.
