This news just broke, many may perceive this as being minor, but it really isn’t.
From CNN in regards to the noose incident where two were arrested:
Police say the 18-year-old driver of the truck was charged with driving while intoxicated and inciting to riot and also may be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor — the 16-year-old passenger.
As police were questioning the driver, he said he had an unloaded rifle in the back, which police found. They also found a set of brass knuckles in the cup holder on the dashboard, according to the police report.
The nooses were seen hanging from the pickup truck they drove
I said this was not a minor story, time to explain why: when it comes to stories like this, both sides of the fence come out. It was just a matter of time when the racists would rear their ugly heads(David Duke already has spoken words on the Jena 6 situation).
The passenger of the vehicle stated to police that he and his family are in the Ku Klux Klan.

Now this is nowhere near minor. Another reason why ONE day of bus movements to ONE town and ONE day of black shirts does not a movement make.
I think this just goes to show how no matter what goes on in this country and no one day don’t make a change but it’s a start to something bigger than you and I It shows that Blacks or african americans can come together for a something more than themselves………Keep doing what you do people Because WE SHALL OVER COME SOMEDAY BUT SOMEDAY REAL SOON
