AUTHOR'S NOTE: What had been in this space (now occupied by my updated comment) was an image of an African American who had been lynched--he was seen hanging from a rope. At least one reader wrote in to Lambert to complain about the image. My position was that we need to see reality if we are to confront reality--no disrespect to the dead or the living. To not face what is hard and difficult is a path of denial, a path that leads us nowhere. Anyway, Photobucket removed the image, and as usual without any explanation. mjs--9/2/09

Uh-oh! I guess someone wasn't proud of America!

"He didn't do anything!" Katherine Smith shouted across a vacant lot, as police drove her 16-year-old brother into an alley.

Run, nigger, run, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_patrol "> paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.
Run, nigger, run, the paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.
The nigger run, the nigger flew;
The nigger lost his wedding shoe.
Run, nigger, run, the paterollers catch you.
Run, nigger, run, it’s almost day.

The practice of lynching:

The boys who hung the nooses were suspended from school for a few days. The school administration chalked it up as a harmless prank, The boys who hung the nooses but Jena's black population didn't take it so lightly. Fights and unrest started breaking out at school. The District Attorney, Reed Walters, was called in to directly address ,black students at the school and told them all he could "end their life with a stroke of the pen."

As the Energy Fascist (Decepticons) rise to power the equation between criminality, terrorism and blackness are being formulated and slowly pressed into the mind of the populace.
