Bowden and Jena

We see news headlines and pictures from Jena, Louisiana, which is now experiencing racial strife over a violent attack on December 4. Six black high school students beat a white classmate, Justin Barker, until he was unconscious and then stomped on him as he lay on the ground. One of the stompers, Mychal Bell, has now had his conspiracy and aggravated battery convictions overturned on appeal because he should not have been tried as an adult. The various cases will continue in juvenile court. Bell was a Division I football prospect, but committed another violent attack two years ago to begin derailing his aspirations. Have African-American leaders taken this opportunity to condemn violence? No, instead they have started flashing Black Power salutes and taught their kids that the youths were justified in beating Justin Barker because OTHER white students had hung nooses in a tree three months before the attack. The white students who hung the nooses faced penalties from the school, appropriately, including alternative school, suspension, and detention. The Chicago Sun-Times reports here: http://www.suntimes.com/news/education/583297,CST-NWS-gramb02.article about kindergarten teachers putting a noose around a little girl's neck to teach their kids about lynching. The kids will learn that violence against random white people is good if other white people have handled nooses. Stomping on an unconscious white student innocent of any deed involving nooses has today made the Jena 6 into heroes. Pity the black kids who learn from their parents, teachers and "pastors" that they can become heroes by beating white kids.
In other news involving promising football talent, two FSU players had a fight/confrontation with police last week, as documented on my last post, and Bobby Bowden played one of them, Geno Hayes, on Saturday against Alabama. They charged Hayes with three misdemeanors, so Bowden saw no need to sacrifice a distinguished talent. He did not start Hayes, but he used him before the first half had ended. He will do community service, but he needs a wake-up call before he turns into another Michael Vick. The other player is facing felony charges. Thank the NCAA for having rules barring athletes from playing when facing felonies, or Bowden would be playing him too. It is official: thanks to Bobby Bowden, FSU's team has consolidated its position as the official representative of criminals in college football.
The recent process in Jena will spawn ten more cases like it. Ten more Justin Barkers. Do you notice that no one uses the victim's name? Justin Barker doesn't exist in media coverage because this is a story of racism and because he is white he cannot be a victim. As long as teachers and parents and "pastors" like Sharpton and Jackson tell their kids that beating classmates is OK if they are white, this problem will get worse. As long as coaches like Bobby Bowden empower these thugs by teaching them that they will face no consequences as long as they are not actually behind bars, they will create more felons like Michael Vick. Come to think of it, now that Bell is not a convicted felon anymore, see if Bowden recruits him.
