Jena 6 Updates and Some Perspective
Some of you may have already heard about the Jena 6 case currently going on Louisiana. Although it has not received any press coverage, some radio personalities have stepped up to make sure that it is being covered and are taking a stand for these 6 black high school boys in Louisiana. They have been charged with attempted murder by use of a tennis shoe against some white students who were not at all injured in this school yard fight. These young men are facing up to 100 years in prison. You can go online to get more detailed information about the
case.
A petition is on the move to request an investigation into the discrimination of the trial as well as other incidents leading up to the trial. PLEASE will you take the time to circulate this email to everyone you know. If we can send jokes and youtube messages to our friends I'm sure we can take 2 minutes to sign the petition and forward it on to others. To anyone who is a member of a bikers club, Michael Baisden from 94.5 KSOL is organizing and petitioning all biker clubs to come together to ride out to the rally in Louisiana. If you're interested, you can go to his website for more information. The Steve Harvey Morning Show is also petitioning entertainers and groups to also join in the support.
You may go to the website www.petitiononline.com and click on Jena 6 or just click on this link http://www.petitiononline.com/aZ51CqmR/petitionhtml which will take you dire! ctly to the page and sign your name. It's as simple as that. It took me all of 30 seconds to do it.
These young men need our help. For those who are not able to attend the rally in Louisiana, this would be a good way to show your support. Also
forward to your children or teens and encourage them to forward to their friends. This is about them and they should be just
as involved as the adults are.
Thank You so Much

OK, enough of these go back to Africa comments. So, I have already done so and will continue to do the same; namely, all red neck, high tech bigot and cracka comments will be deleted. This zine is for those who want to stay on top of New Afrikan News (Black Folx) from our perspective. We really don't care to entertain irreversible crackaism. Go start a anit-jena zine or some other dumb sh-- like dat.
Y'all really have never stop lynching us. The core and roots of the police are the decendents of cracka lynch mobs, wit the same mentality. They just gave y'all a gun and a badge to do the same thing.

LYNCHING
"In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the lynching of Black people in the Southern and border states became an institutionalized method used by whites to terrorize Blacks and maintain white supremacy. In the South, during the period 1880 to 1940, there was deep-seated and all-pervading hatred and fear of the Negro which led white mobs to turn to “lynch law” as a means of social control. Lynchings—open public murders of individuals suspected of crime conceived and carried out more or less spontaneously by a mob—seem to have been an American invention. In Lynch-Law, the first scholarly investigation of lynching, written in 1905, author James E. Cutler stated that “lynching is a criminal practice which is peculiar to the United States.”Most of the lynchings were by hanging or shooting, or both. However, many were of a more hideous nature—burning at the stake, maiming, dismemberment, castration, and other brutal methods of physical torture. Lynching therefore was a cruel combination of racism and sadism, which was utilized primarily to sustain the caste system in the South. Many white people believed that Negroes could only be controlled by fear. To them, lynching was seen as the most effective means of control.
There are three major sources of lynching statistics. None cover the complete history of lynching in America. Prior to 1882, no reliable statistics of lynchings were recorded. In that year, the Chicago Tribune first began to take systematic account of lynchings. Shortly thereafter, in 1892, Tuskegee Institute began to make a systematic collection and tabulation of lynching statistics. Beginning in 1912, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People kept an independent record of lynchings..."

On the morning of October 13, 2004 Bernard C. Burden was found hung from a tree in the yard of a white family. His feet were touching the ground with his knees bent. The Coroner Wimp Pierce ruled it a suicide. There was a house full of people that night and no Police Investigation was done. No one was charged as suspects in a possible homicide despite the numerous contradictions. Now we all know if that was a white man found hanging in the yard of a black family, everyone would have been taken downtown for questioning or WORSE. We know Bernard was lynched. WE DEMAND JUSTICE!!!
After 4 months the GBI has completed their investigation and have also ruled this a suicide and have closed the case. They claim to have performed a Toxicology Test to check Bernard for drugs and their results show that he had no drugs in his system.
However this contradicts the statement given by 2 people in the house that state that they, including Bernard, were smoking marijuana earlier that day. Also, Bernard was on prescription drugs, and that supposedly didn't show up in his system either...
