Ladies and Gentlemen: your Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks of the 21st century...

ABOVE - MODERN DAY CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS: BRYANT PERVIS AND CARWIN JONES.

If you haven't figured it out, these guys are two of the "Jena 6" (I guess the J6 have their own gang sign now).

Pervis and Jones were invited to be presenters at the 2nd annual BET Hip Hop Awards, the picture above shows the "Jena 2" at the red carpet of the said event.

What next, are the inbred mutant hillbillies (who hung the nooses on the tree) going to present a CMT award to Toby Keith!?!?

Look, hanging nooses from trees is one of the most "asinine " moves anyone can make. 6 people beating 1 person because the color of their skin is just as unintelligent.

They (the J6) shouldn't have been charged with attempted murder - but in the same breath THEY BEAT ANOTHER PERSON BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN... 6 AGAINST 1! WILL IT OFFEND ANYONE IF WE CHARGE THEM WITH ASSAULT?! We better run that one by Al Sharpton first.

The idiot or idiots responsible for the nooses should be charged with something too. Apparently, it is perfectly ok for minors to hang nooses, as there are no laws on the books which say otherwise in Jena, LA.

Two wrongs don't make a right meaning - don't fight hate crimes with other hate crimes. BTW I HATE the term HATE crime, when was the last time you heard of 6 people beating 1 person out of LOVE?

I guess what disturbed me the most about this whole BET thing was the way these two young men were given a "Hero's Welcome" a standing ovation, many in the crowd where throwing the J6 hand sign. These are modern day civil rights heroes? Fuck that!

NEW RULE!!! If you commit a crime against another person because the color of their skin - YOU DON'T GET TO PRESENT AWARDS OR WALK ANY RED CARPET EVENTS! IN FACT YOU HAVE MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AND GIVE THE REST OF US (who don't hang nooses or beat up people: 6 vs. 1) AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT AWARDS AND WALK RED CARPETS! Shame on you BET (Note: I don't watch that channel, as I am not a big gambler... get it? BET - Gambler? yeah yeah stupid joke).

UPDATE: TA provided this great link from the Mike Doughty Blog regarding the Jena 6 from the perspective of someone who is actually from Jena, LA.
