Rappers Mos Def, Common, More Urge Walk Out In Protest Of Jena 6
Published Sunday, September 30, 2007 3:06 PM

By Nolan Strong

A number of rappers and activists will support Mos Def's call for a National Student Walk-Out tomorrow (Oct 1) in support of the Jena 6.

In addition to Mos Def, rappers Common, Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, M1, Rep. Cynthia McKinney, Idris Elba, Pharoahe Monch, the Malcolm X Grassroots, the National Hip Hop Political Convention, The Hip Hop Association and student leaders from over 100 campuses will support the Jena 6 by walking out of class at 12:00 noon (Central time).

The rappers and activists are asking students to peacefully walk out of class and rally either on campus or at other designated areas, in protest of the case.

"This is the time for Black people to support the Jena 6, and call attention to the unequal treatment the criminal Justice system is dishing out not only in Jena Louisiana but across this nation," Mos Def said. "We all live in Jena. "

A list of demands created by the organizations will be read at each of the organized rallies around the country.

The group is calling for all charges against the Jena 6 to be dropped, to prevent Judge Mauffray from presiding over Bell's juvenile court hearings, that the Jena School District superintendent be removed from office and more.

The "Jena 6" are six black students who were charged with assaulting a white teenager at Jena High School in Jena, Louisiana after a series of racially motivated incidents.

The students were initially charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit attempted murder in connection with the December 4 beating of a white student.

The incident was the culmination of months of racial tension following a black Jena High School student’s request to the principal sit under an oak tree that was a frequent hang out for white students.

A day after the request, sat under the tree, three nooses were found hanging from the branches. Although the school’s principal recommended that those responsible for the nooses be expelled, the three white students were suspended for three days for the action, which was labeled as a "prank."

Soon after, Justin Barker, a white student, was jumped by a group of students who knocked him unconscious while stomping and kicking him.

Criminal charges were later directed towards the Jena 6, although the parents of the Jena 6 said they heard Barker was hurling racial epithets earlier.

On Thursday (September 27), Mychal Bell, the last of the "Jena 6" behind bars, was released from custody after a juvenile his bail was reduced to $45,000.

Over 15,000 demonstrators protested how the case was handled, claiming the black teens were being treated more harshly than the three white students who hung the nooses.

homie learn your history. hanging black ppl with nooses was one of the trade marks of the KKK. if i was black and i had to sit under a tree. and 3 kids hung nooses on the same tree knowing i was gonna be there. that right there is and forever will be a death treat and a racial statement. now what they did yes maybe in some eyes its wrong and in others it not. all that it is... is that the way everything is being handled is wrong. not that there innocent. its just that those white kids provoked them and you know what they did wat they had to do... b/c i know if some white kids were making fun of you and all that. trust me you would kick there ass. the only thing is that they got caught and the law was bent to hurt those kids more... im just saying

P.S. = dont reply to my comment... i dont care enough about your opinion to come back and check what you said. so basicully if you say it to me. it will never be read by me. one

citystarz™ · 10-01-2007, 03:24 AM

yeh they totally provoked it and the 3 kids deserve tougher punishments for hanging the nooses
the jena 6 sat under the tree that was labeled as a "white" tree for shade n then after the jena 6 sat under it they put those nooses up

if they gettin charged with all those crimes(attempted murder etc.) the 3white kids should get charged with death threats

s_jimmie · 10-01-2007, 03:49 AM

they shouldn't have stomped him out.. just smack him around a little or hang him naked in that oak tree.. you know, prank him back.. not fuck him up that hard :) he did deserv it but it wouldn't be that serious if they just did some of the things I said.

i dont know what you are trying to prove but some white kids that beat up some black students in Jena only got 12 months community service then why the fuck are the Jena 6 being charged with attempted murder when the allerged victim was fine the next day and only suffered a headache. I do think The Jena 6 were slipin' by hiting the kid but if that kid did called them the n-word he derserved it, not supporting any violence but justice should be served fairly regardless of race.
