City Of Student Wrist Break Incident is Now Spreading Noose Hate Literature
October 21st, 2007
In an African American Neighborhood near Pete Knight High, where Pleajhia Mervin was attacked by a guard for dropping cake, and another student was slammed to the ground for daring to camera phone record that attack; drawings of a tree with depictions of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson hanging from a tree by nooses were placed on residents cars, with the words “nappy headed pimps, don’t come”. Apparently this referring to Sharpton planning to hold a rally in the Palmdale Califronia hotbed of recent controversy.
Folks, with the rash of nooses hangings nationwide, and this apparent campaign of racial intimidation; do you now believe us when we say Jena is not just in Louisiana or the deep South.
I just saw tonight on my local news an incident of a white guy hanging michael vick in effigy in his front yard and calling it “Hallow Decorations”, I’m just waiting for the NBC affiliate to post the video.
Christopher Keeling, a Black investigator with the Palmdale Sherrifs department was quick to cast dispersions on Black activist though; defending his master with the utmost toming he could muster. I was just waiting for him to break out the fiddle and do a Jim Crow buck dance.

Racism is so stupid, so mean, so exhausting. It is a white people problem that is being ignored by white people. I am angry that whites have learned so little. There has been ample time.
Lord, Lord, Lord…where does it stop? The ignorance and hate is almost overwhelming…You are correct in saying that we must come together to fight this fight…all of the division that we must have amongst ourselves must end because there is a bigger enemy, a larger force of evil to deal with…
Marvalus, we’re all going to have to take the responsibility to organize or get involved in our own locality, so that we can build a united movement. We stopped before the last one was finish, and being stagnant we have gone backwards.
You’re right, all the nonsense has to be put aside. As Carter G. Woodson would say, we have to stop arguing over triffles and realize we’re sinking in the same boat.
Old White guy, I hope you’ll make a concerted effort to work on that sentiment with your fellow whites.
All the natural human wants is to be free and happy; and treated with dignity and respect. Either white people will end racial injustice, or there will necessarily be an eruption in this country. Believe, it’s coming.
“do you now believe us when we say Jena is not just in Louisiana or the deep South. ”
Indeed. Are we absolved of being accused of paranoia now?
This sh– is ridiculous. I’m tired of it (understatement).
The blinders will need to be wiped clean from the eyes of folks who claim they don’t see the realities that people of color have undergone (and it seems continue to undergo) at the hands those descendants of this country’s invading forefathers who were/are hateful, and the descendants of colonizers elsewhere who have similar hate in their hearts for the original inhabitants of the lands that were seized.
As a community, we’ve tolerated enough. We really have.
—Wake up call—
People of color aren’t a minority.
Most of the world’s population is made up of variations of brown skin. Enough with the oneupmanship, the games, and the separation. Lies can’t truly unmake what in all actuality -is-. Cover-ups are unveiled at some point.
Anyone who can’t appreciate the beauty coming in all manner of variations from nature’s bounty, is blind, self loathing and imbalanced. Such a mind/spirit bent on lies, corruption and destruction is not fit to lead anyone anywhere. Such a spirit needs most to learn how to follow.
Racism is nothing to be proud of. It’s a disease.
Zoe, some people lavish in their blindness. It excuses them of having to deal with anything.
