1865: On second thought, y'all in the South..can GO!

What a way to come back from the California Bar Exam. Here I am...feeling all good about myself. "wooo, look at me.." Healthy American male. Being all I can be. Oh yeah..I just happen to consider myself a "Black man", simply because that is how I am "perceived" in the good ol' U.S. of A. But, incredibly, I never let that "bother" me, living here in beautifully VACUOUS” Southern California, because, Hell, I'm an AMERICAN and a HUMAN BEING. That whole “Black thing” is a figment of America’s sordid imagination.

Hmmm…ignorance is bliss, aint it..?

Well, well, well.. So, my good friend Ricci is updating me with all of the news I missed during the past 3 ½ months and he tells me about this ESPN article written by Jemele Hill (whom Ricci humorously refers to as: “Jim-ilee”). The story OF COURSE is about our favorite dog-fighter/trainer/killer…Michael “Con” Vick (a professor’s Blog about Mr. Con-Vick WILL be coming shortly you can “belee dat”).

Well, Ms. Hill happened to mention the Jena 6 (pronounced: “Jeeenuh”)in her story about Vick.

Now see.. I “thought” I had heard about this story during my time of Bar-study. But I hadn’t had any time to truly get into the meat of it. Well, I have PLENTY of time now, and I spent half of the day researching this “gem” of Southern Americana”.

I want to take this time before I GO OFF on this story to THANK this “great” nation for officially stirring me from my ¼ year hiatus of pursuing academic endeavors. "Thank you" America..and especially to those of you in the American South. Yes, you lovely, God-fearin’, bible thumpin’, tooth challenged folk down there have done it again. ..And just when I had the unmitigated gall to “think” that you had perhaps run out of racist ideas to come up with to sink EVEN LOWER in the pantheon of human disgraces against the Planet Earth…you went ahead and fooled me again. Shame on me.

The good folks of the AMERICAN SOUTH have come up with the Jena 6 of Jena, Louisiana.

Jena,_Louisiana

Now, I won’t go into the gory details about this case. I ask you all to read the link and then do your own research.

But I will say this about this case: This case is straight out of Nineteen Fifty-F****** THREE [1953]. In this shockingly BELIEVABLE story you have all of the classic ingredients for a good ol’ fashioned American fairy tale of lynching those "ornery naggerrhs". You have:
- the deep south heat, humidity, and tension;
- a gaggle of young, strong, healthy, virulent, athletic black American teenagers, NONE, mind you, over the age of 18;
- a sweaty white power structure;
- some cackling white teenagers who obviously learned their classic race-hatred/fear from their cartoonish southern parents;
- a hangman’s noose;
- the ubiquitous “tree” (of course to string the “darkies” up from);
- trumped up charges;
- a “trial”;
- the obligatory “all-white ‘jerrayhh’”;
- a conviction that only seems to shock the black teenager’s weeping, overweight mother, who OF COURSE, has an un-pronounceable first name (I think her name is “Ceseptla” [I’m not making this up]);
- and the specter of this once promising young man’s future going up in smoke for 20-25 YEARS based on sheer, unadulterated, racist BULLSHIT.

[as you can see, the Professor is about to go into vintage RAGE mode]

As I mentioned I will not go into detail about the facts of the case. And I don’t have to for this blog because I’m here only to make commentary..which is this:

I am BEYOND “sick” of hearing about CONTINUOUS, ONGOING, PERSISTENT, UNRELENTING dumb shit resonating primarily in the AMERICAN SOUTH!

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t those God-forsaken MF’S L-O-S-E the Got-Damn civil war??!! WHY am I STILL having to deal with their ass-backward, 18th century, slave-ship loving, country ASSES??!! WHY!!!!

You know folks, I’m writing this with the kind of seething, insipid, “anger” that can only be illustrated by the feeling you know an “ALIEN” has when he’s about to bite thru your chest while spewing acid.

There is no reason for injustice like this, in this little God-forsaken town in backwoods Louisiana, to go unpunished. Why is the Federal government NOT in Jena, LA. You have a case where a WHITE teen pulls A SHOTGUN out, points it at a BLACK teen. And the superhuman, HEROIC BLACK teen somehow wrestles the SHOTGUN away from the gun-toting teen and RIGHTFULLY refuses to “give the gun back”. In this little AMERICAN TOWN, don’t you know they charged the BLACK SUPERHERO TEEN with (I “almost”cant bear to write it) T-H-E-F-T!!!! ANNNNND “aggravated ROBBERY”.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

When I discuss politics with my Mom I seem to always end the conversation with: “Ma, I don’t care who wins the election..I just don’t want to hear another SOUTHERN ACCENT in the White House!!!” And you know what folks, I absolutely mean that. I don’t wanna hear a Carter, a Clinton, a Bush (Jeb OR George), a Edwards, a Ford (Harold-TN), a Johnson, a Truman, a Jefferson…I DON’T WANNA HEAR IT!! NO MORE GOD-DAMMIT!!! I'm F'n DONE!!
The South LOST. They shouldn’t be runnin’ nuthin! And they damn sure shouldn’t be allowed to let racist District Attorneys run hog-wild in a small, racist, backwater piece of shit town (that actively campaigned for a KLANSMAN [David Duke]) to effectively “lynch” 6 young black CHILDREN for standing up against terrorism. Yes, I said TERRORISM.

Terrorist threats were made, collectively, against these 6 young, prime of life BOYS and the minority African-American population, as evidenced by:

1. The ignorant audacity of the local white population establishing a “white-tree” to use for shade, then: 2. completing the terrorist crime by hanging NOOSE’S (multiple nooses mind you) from said tree as an act of a primal-savage threat to the other sentient human beings (the Black folk) that have the gross misfortune of having to share their living space with insane, nazi-like Neanderthals, who happen to be SOUTHERN and WHITE. You know, I actually apologize for besmirching the “Neanderthals’” good-name. Hell, they probably didn’t have a racist bone in their body, what with all the cave-dwelling and saber-cat hunting..

So, I thank you American South for succeeding in reminding me that, yes, I am Black and that this, in fact MATTERS, in the United States of America.

The good news is that 1 day, being white or black or some shade of hi-yellow or red wont even matter. It will be laughable that people were somehow “this ignorant and uncivilized”.

1 day, folks will say: “I can’t believe how backward people are these days!!! I mean, these people are living in the ‘stone-ages’!! YOU’D THINK WE WERE HOUSE-DWELLING AMERICANS BACK 3000 YEARS AGO, FOR GOD’S SAKE!!
