Humble, Texas. When: October 15, 2007 black students of the FFA(future farmers of America) were targets to hate crime when some other students wrote the word nigger in fake blood on the animals belonging to the black students and on the cement where the animals are kept Administrators have taken action, charging one boy who is white. He is a fellow FFA student and a student at Atascocita High School. He is charged with trespassing on school property, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. But these are school charges only. The district attorney’s office declined criminal charges. ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />This is redicuals these students took time to gather supplies hold down a living animal and write the word nigger 15 times on 15 pigs. And they are not charged with so much as a hate crime. The mentalily that it takes to pull of something so cruel  is detremental not only those who have it but those around them. This a clear indication of what kind of adults these children will be. No one dose such things with that much persistence without meaning it.  Who is going to protect us!! Whos to say it wont encourge other high school acts of hate, which I am most certin it will.

After the jena6 protest in jena two white boys hung two nooses from the tail of the truck bed which they drove trough the crowd of black protesters. One of  the two boy were charged with only criminal mischif. In following the Mychal Bell case nooses begain to appear all acoss the nation.  One example is  

(10/11/07) – More than a hundred people protested outside Teacher’s College at Columbia University Wednesday, a day after a respected black professor found a noose hung on her office door

(10/14/07)A hangman’s noose found on the desk of a CPS Energy supervisor.  Monday, workers and community leaders spoke out, saying something needs to be done. Dr. Howard Anderson of the NAACP said, “One would have to have been born early this morning to not recognize that a hangman’s noose is racially offensive in America. To many, a noose is a haunting historic symbol.” The hangman’s noose has got 12 knots on it,” said union representative Ralph Merriweather.  “12 knots by the Ku Klux Klan indicated it took 12 knots to hang a black man, to break his neck to kill him. “That’s why these protesters say the noose had no business on the desk of CPS Energy Manager of Application and Maintenance.” The manager who’s had that hangman’s noose in his office, should no longer be working for CPS Energy,” added lawyer David Van Os.

There are more and I will post them when the time permits but here is one from my own home town:

Hanging Death In BelleGlade

Martin Luther King’s son to examine hanging death in Belle Glade

A high-profile hanging death in a sleepy, impoverished Palm Beach County community now has captured the attention of an iconic civil rights family.

Saying “black folk don’t hang themselves,” Martin Luther King III on Sunday told a gathering of the group his father co-founded in the racially divided 1950s that he will travel to Belle Glade to explore personally the circumstances around Feraris “Ray” Golden’s death and determine who is responsible, according to The Associated Press.

Golden, 32, was found hanging from a schefflera tree outside his grandmother’s home on May 28.

After a rare public inquest, the county’s first in 18 years, a judge ruled that depression, not murderers, killed Golden, who was jobless, despondent and behind in his child-support payments.

As evidence, the suicide finding points to a lack of trauma on Golden’s body, a videotape showing his hands hanging at his sides before he was cut from the tree, and the bed sheet, recognized by Golden’s aunt as belonging to his grandmother, knotted around his neck.

But some in Golden’s family have adamantly insisted that he would never have killed himself. And many in the sugar cane town of 15,000, half of whom are black, say no black man would kill himself in way that is so grotesquely reminiscent of America’s racist history.

Stories of an alleged relationship between Golden and a white woman weren’t investigated, and rumors persist that Golden’s hands were tied behind his back.

“We’re going down there,” King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, told Golden’s grieving mother and others attending the group’s 45th annual convention in Memphis on Sunday, according to the AP.

“Our prayers and support are with you and your family, and we’re going to work for truth and justice.”

Despite the findings of the inquest, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has launched a preliminary investigation into the hanging after finding inconsistencies in the inquest testimony and the police investigation.

On Monday, the commission’s chairwoman announced that the agency will review the southern branch’s findings to determine whether to conduct a further investigation or take other action.
