Wow these people are living out ancient history - and carrying the torch for hatred which should be long gone and buried. Just keep fueling the fires of race hate - read the rest of how Sweetness and Light highlighted the article…I read the headline that was assigned and spit all over my keyboard.

JENA, La. — Here in the woodsy heart of Louisiana, town leaders were looking for a fresh start, a way to erase the recent memory of Jim Crow-like hangman’s nooses dangling from a shade tree at the local high school. So they cut the tree down…
A few weeks after the nooses were discovered in September, an arsonist torched a wing of Jena High School. Race fights roiled the town for days, culminating in a schoolyard brawl that led the LaSalle Parish district attorney to charge six black teenagers with attempted murder for beating up a white teenager who suffered no life-threatening injuries.

WHITE TREE?? Sheesh. They truly are pushing the race card hard there in Louisiana. I can’t believe that. I think the worse part is that the school now has one less shade tree for kids. How did that make things better? The racist inbred ****** will just go find another tree to hang some nooses on. Sheesh.
