Comments on: Progressive blogosphere MIA on Jena 6 http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2007/09/20/progressive-blogosphere-mia-on-jena-6/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:58:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: yobachi http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2007/09/20/progressive-blogosphere-mia-on-jena-6/#comment-453860 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 01:52:01 +0100 http://pandagon.blogsome.com/2007/09/20/progressive-blogosphere-mia-on-jena-6/#comment-453860 NIKKOS asked does anyone here think the Jena 6 should be freed? Answer? YES! They served their time, and more - up to 9 months. Their are rapers and murders who barely get more than that. Whether they should be freed, not freed, lesser charges, you think the whites should have had more charges, or what ever...why the hell have y'all not blogged on it? But I thank the white "progressive" bloggesphere for showing it's true colors: http://community.livejournal.com/black_intellect/31316.html www,blackperspective.net NIKKOS asked does anyone here think the Jena 6 should be freed?

I'm a progressive blogger, and I tried to get a variety of leading liberal blogs to post on the situation in Jena, starting early this summer. They gave me exactly those lame excuses you provide here. I'm white, so you're right, it's not just about race, but also about the lame set of things that white males running the lefty blogosphere see as pressing. Very frustrating. Do we have to get 50,000 people protesting before black teenagers getting railroaded is important enough for comment? Btw, I did blog on Jena at New Vision's blog, Foresight, back in May and June. http://www.newvisioninstitute.org/foresight/index.php/2007/06/01/dont-let-the-nooses-fool-you-the-south-is-us/ Thank you Pam!

It is a great post and here I am zeroing in on the one point I disagree with. So "wow, great post" should have been my main message. :-( Pam, I’m sorry … It is a great post and here I am zeroing in on the one point I disagree with.

He hasn't been real helpful on the cases until the issue was huge enough to attract attention. But neither have most Big Figures of all colors who should care about justice. Race baiter? What? That is not reality. That is a right-wing talking point. Jesse Jackson is a race baiter now? He hasn’t been real helpful on the cases until the issue was huge enough to attract attention.
