CNN - Jena is the perfect integrated town

[Catherine Vincent]

I've been seeing the interviews since yesterday of Jena residents. And most of the interviewees, whom are white I might add, always say this is not a racist town and not what is portrayed on the tv. Why won't they interview any black residents and get their thoughts? Or would they be too afraid to say how they really feel?

1. And the reason for the nooses? n/t

2. They were just celebrating their heritage with those nooses!

6. They just think it was a joke.

No harm no foul.:eyes:

3. White folks commonly (a) say racism exists and (b) say every example isn't *really* an example...

... Example-free existence - it's an interesting logical structure.

4. Well only 15% of Jena

is black, which represents about 600 people. Since the DA seems to think he can "end lives" down there, I would seriously think before I did any type of interview, especially with the M$M.

The M$M never gives a fair account of what is actually going on, so I didn't expect them to start with this.

5. oh no, not racist at all...
