I slept and my fatigue level went down.

There's always a guy who says "we're not racist" after a public racist incident. But the Jena 6 incident is the sort of institutional incident that shows that a bunch of people are racist. First, if you have to ask the principal if you can sit under the 'white' tree, that's more than one guy being a jerk. You need a large percentage of the student population to defend a whites only tree. Second, the nooses. They were dismissed as a 'prank' by some. Now to defend nooses as a prank takes a lot of balls. You have to be confident that you won't be shouted down by more sensible people, and that even the people who may not be paragons of racial sensitivity won't say "what the crap were you thinking? Nooses?!" Third, there's the whole white people get to beat up people, and don't go to jail. Black folks beat up people and go to jail. It takes more than just coinkydink to make that happen. It takes folks to think that pressing charges in school yard fights is appropiate, folks to give them overly high sentences,.etc.

Major etsy drama! We have free the etsy five shirts but where are the free the jena 6 shirts?

Random: I was watching Lockup, and on one of the news breaks, it said that bail was denied for Michael Bell[possibly the wrong spelling].

More on how hard it is to be me: My underarm bump has gone down, but now I've got bloating and diarrhea.

arrrgh! I'm not wearing black! *must find different things* *also notes that she feels more like taking to her bed than going to a rally, even if it is at the university of memphis*

*decided to go with the black cuff*

But seriously, this lady is right. I am tired all the time, but even I have a few minutes to post about the Jena 6, and to debate about whether to go to a rally about it or not.

Jena 6 front page news on Memphis news website. People acting racist in comments should be ashamed of selves. This is one of the most emailed columns right now.


Black blogger is on NPR about the Jena 6. Photos are shown and the protest is described in a caption as a 'civil rights march' w00t!

On the same show, a man who created an exhibit on lynching[that I saw] explains why it is not a good idea to hang nooses around.

Also, a Jena Six themed stupid.

According to anecdotal evidence[i.e. I looked around the campus], many people wore black shirts at the University of Memphis.

Something important and Jena 6 related has happened I think. It's nice to see that folks are working hard for justice nowadays. We won't let this crap go unchallenged or something.

Thanks for showing that you're horrible people, folks in childfreehardcore~

Some porn stars have left porn and gotten religion.

mean,but I lol'd.

Some guy making fun of burlesque. Is the argument that burlesque is sooo super different than stripping classist?
More conversation on the nondifference.

I blame the parents. It is not like these girls are old enough to get a part time job and then sneak out of the house and buy new clothes.

Lulz,wear stilettos.

Is it true? I heard it on the radio- the attempted murder charges were dropped and one of the 6 who was charged as an adult will be charged as a juvenile..
