Jena suggests that action precedes any substantial hope. I have heard so many expressions of hope and eagerness to do something about the kind of so-called law enforcement/judicial system that currently imprisons the majority of African American young men. The struggle against white supremacy and the white supremacist law enforcement/judicial system is beginning and I even heard calls for a revolution, a civil rights revolution from the activists at Jena. Jena is a spark, a spark that could ignite further just struggle.
The march in Jena had a greater impact with a few thousand or tens of thousands of marchers than all the marches in Washington in the past decade. Now some of the civil rights workers want to march to Washington again. It might be a good idea but it seems to me that Washington, the f....ing government is almost totally insulated from and unresponsive to any of the marches that take place in Washington D. C.. The small ruling elite in Jena has no cordons of defense either physical and ideological. Consequently we may see some results in Jena. We may see some results in Louisiana, with one of the saddest cases of racist cracker culture in the nation.
Free Michael Bell and our black youth!
Free the Jena Six! Liberate Jena!
Expose and overthrow racist prosecutors!
Struggle Against White Supremacy from the White House to Your House!
Build a Revoutionary Movement Against White Supremacy at Home and Abroad!
When was the last time a march in D. C. resulted in a positive result? When did the Congress
or President listen? I really want some answers here.
