O.K., so, some racist idiots hang nooses in a tree and the response is for six black students to beat a white student. Is that supposed to be an acceptable come uppance? Is it acceptable for whites to respond with violence to blacks for their bigotry? What a poor reflection on the white community that someone hung nooses, what a poor reflection on the black community that used a primitive mob mentality to respond. The Jena 6 should pay for their crimes.

The black students of the Jena 6 were being treated very unfairly. I wish all the racism would stop but even in 2007 I realize that racism is still alive. I am also a 10th grade student in Milford's IB program, one of Aisha classmates. I was proud to be apart of a positive protest with my school and classmates.

Hello, my name is Janakhte' Page and I am also a 10th grader in Milford Mill's IB Program along with Aisha and Bryce. The African-American students in the Jena 6 should not have been scared to sit under a tree. I am disappointed that they even had to ask. Even though I do not live in Jena, Lousiana, I still "feel for" them. I too, along with many others, have been a victim of racism and discrimination. But that's another story. I am so proud to be one of the many who participated in the protest. I, along with Briana Haden, held up a sign that read "Honk if you support the Jena 6". We held that sign up with pride and screamed to the top of our lungs. We chanted for a crime that is still alive today. Most people just ignore racism or pretend that it doesn't exist because they do not want to face the truth and the pain of racism. No one pays attention until somebody gets hurt or gets put in jail and that is exactly what happened. Racism is alive and I feel that the protest let people know that it still is. I was proud to be a part of a positive protest that reflects our community's consideration for others.

Hi, my name is Danielle Hill, a tenth grade IB student currenly attending Milford Mill Academy along with Aisha, Bryce, and Janakhte'. Today my school and classmates did something positive that helped support the 6 African American teenagers. We had a positive protest that was to fight for justice and support those six African American teenagers in Jena, Louisiana. There were signs from left to right saying "honk if you support", "free the jena six", "no justice no peace", etc., we all stood smiling with joy, holding signs, and chanting. It made me feel great knowing that we are fighting for what's right and was showing our full support. I'm glad that the world finally woke up to know that racism still is going on in the world and people need to realize that nothing will change unless you stop ignoring it and stand up for our rights and speaks out to make a difference. We all supported them to the fullest today and it was a great experience to fight for what is right. I was truely glad to be apart of this protest today and glad that we made a difference. Well it's great to say that i support them all the way and justice shall be served. Thank you.

Hey guys,
There has been a lot of talk in recent days that the Jena 6 protests mark the start of the 21st century's Civil Rights movement. Do you guys agree? What do you think of the notion that the country still even needs a Civil Rights movement after all these years? Are you ready to be part of a Civil Rights movement?

Hi, my name is Carissa Lawrence, and i am also a student at milford mill academy. However, i am in the cosmetology program. I was excited to see all my classmates outside protesting for what they believe in. Me and my friend Janell decided to join in with the protest so we joined the crowd and began to chant along with our other classmates. it was a nice protest. I feel for the boys in Jena because they are being charged with battery for a high school fight. People fight everyday in schools however they don't get charged with things like that! It was a normal high school fight and the government along with the school principal took it to the next level. I do not mean to offend anyone by this but I really believe that it is time for the youth to be able to speak up and say how they feel. I don't agree at all with putting the boys behind bars for a fight. I honestly don't believe that the white student was hurt that severely. I say this because after he was released from the hospital, it is said that he attended a party. How can you go out and party after you supposedly got your head beat in? I don't understand. That white boy was wrong and he knows it. Many people say that blacks don't have any type of knowledge or they say that blacks won't ever be anything, but if we won't ever be anything then how is it that we can set up a protest and get so many people to go to Jena and try to fight what's going on? People just don't make sense these days. I'm glad that Mr.Gibson {our principal} allowed us to speak our minds. There is this saying and it says " My child today could be your child tomorrow" and i think that America should live by this!
