Jena 6 Shows the Left's Hypocrisy
I mentioned the Jena 6 here the other day. Not necessarily judging the merits of the Jena 6 case one way or the other, I'm struck (once again) by the hypocrisy of the left and the race baiters.
For beginners, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton showed up. One doesn't have to look far to see that Sharpton and Jackson have quite a problem of being racist themselves.
The leftist Southern Studies.org posted several times regarding racism and the Duke lacrosse team. Once the truth came out Southern Studies emphasis was on defending their erroneous, unjust assumptions, etc. without ever facing up to their own rich, white male hating bias. Check out their posts here. But they are all over fighting "injustice" over the Jena 6.
Leftist blog, Knoxviews, in dear ole Tennessee, had this to say about the Duke case.
Justice doesn't have racial, gender or class boundaries but the left thinks it does.

And you thought the UT football program had discipline problems.Thus I have quoted every post I could find in its entirety regarding the Duke lacrosse case searching for "lacrosse" at Knoxviews. But again, they have plenty to say about Jena 6 including promoting "Jena 6 protest, peace march, and benefit concert today" and, as I've noted before, accusing Snopes.com of being racist because Snopes doesn't give the prescribed leftist interpretation of the Jena situation. You'll find nary a peep about Mary Winkler except in a comment here or there by a dissenter trying to break through the rusted shut minds at Knoxviews.

Not only is there almost no coverage in the corporate media of black violent crimes against white people, but in high profile cases, the white victims are ignored and the black criminals are proffered as “real victims”.
To illustrate the bias in the corporate media, imagine if the facts were reversed - if a gang of six white kids led by someone with four previous convictions for violent-crime had attacked a lone black student, kicking and stomping him into unconsciousness. As far as the corporate media are concerned, they would be interviewing the black victim on every TV talk show across the land, discussing his fear, his pain, his suffering. They would be interviewing his crying relatives and friends. They would not be voicing any fear that the white attackers would be treated too harshly, or that they would be treated at all. The attackers would not be celebrated in the dailies and across the TV networks.
