Jena and Little Rock Insidents

          To make this clear, I don't condone beating up anyone no matter what race he or she is. Whether those students actually beat the white students or not, they should not be charged with attempted murder when no one knows their motives for hurting the other student. It's all about discrimination and it shouldn't be accepted that way. I believe it is morally wrong to discriminate. Most schools wouldn't take something a simple as a school fight and blow it out of proportion to make it into an attempted murder.There might have been some hidden motives for the prosecutor that changed the Jena Six. I imagine that the prosecutor was white, may have been racist,  and wanted to see these boys go to jail. This reminds me a lot of the Little Rock Nine incident during the Civil Rights Movement. In Little Rock, the nine students that were to attend Central High School to segregate the school were taunted and harassed by whites in the school and community. They were always harassed by mobs, in order to make them angry. In Jena, the same thing had happened. Some people mostly in the white community were looking for an easy scapegoat to put the blame on. Though this time, the accused have a large group backing them up, unlike what happened with the Little Rock Nine. It is great to see that a new generation is taking a stand for what is morally and lawfully right.
