I intend to raise this next Tuesday, October 16th, in the proceedings of the United States House Judiciary Committee Hearings on Jena in Washington, D.C."

Home Depot Workers Find Racial Slurs And A Noose Just The Latest Jena 6 News

A Home Depot, Noose, and a racist slur

Home Depot Construction workers in South Elgin report incident and previous symbol of hate.
South Elgin police are investigating a hate crime after a racial slur was painted on a work counter and a noose was found hanging from an exit at a Home Depot store under construction, authorities said today.

The store's general contractor called police Monday morning to report that someone had written a racial slur in white spray paint on a countertop, South Elgin Detective Sgt. Mike Doty said.

And the construction firm felt it also might be a good time to tell police that about a week ago, workers discovered a noose made out of foam hanging from an exit in the building's garden center, Doty said. The incident was not reported to police at the time.



"There's been nothing like this before since they have been building the Home Depot," Doty said. "Based on the noose and the word, we are investigating it under the form of a hate crime."

The store is expected to open next month. The vandalism is just one of several suspected hate crimes reported in recent weeks in the Chicago area.
On Monday, a Lombard woman awoke to find a racial slur spray-painted in large red letters on the aluminum siding of the house she rents in the 1000 block of Sheldon Way.

Officials say the cases are the latest in a series of racial incidents across the country in the aftermath of the Jena 6 case in Louisiana.

It is said that one of the construction workers who saw the noose did contact the NAACP and told the group he thought it was intended for an African-American co-worker, said Temi Latinwo-Jones, the chapter's president.

A spokeswoman for Atlanta-based Home Depot said the home-improvement giant will also be investigating this latest case of Jena 6 hate crime.

"The Home Depot maintains a zero tolerance policy against discrimination and harassment," said spokeswoman Jennifer King in a written statement.

Jena 6 Latest News Comes From The Senate In The Form Of A Resolution

U.S. Senate passes Jena 6 resolution

In the wake of the "Jena Six" case, the U.S. Senate on Thusday unanimously agreed to legislation requiring the hiring of at least three new community conciliators for the Louisiana region.

Passed was an amendment introduced by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-New Orleans, to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill.

"The charges and counter-charges about the incidents in Jena LA. have torn apart a community and left many residents and frankly the whole world uneasy in Louisiana and across the nation. When a community is bitterly divided, the federal government has an obligation to get involved"

Latest Jena 6 News David Banner Takes His Cause To The Radio

The hip-hop community has been more vocal about the Jena Six case, from its stars to its blogs, which have posted frequent updates about the teens’ fate.

The always outspoken Mississippi rapper David Banner wasn’t at last month’s protest —instead, he went on a radio tour to promote his album so he could let listeners know about the case.



If you wondered why he said “I thought it would have been more powerful for me to get on the radio and talk about it, and drive people there and let people know what’s going on than actually being there,” said Banner. “We wanna be there to show face, but if you’re actually more powerful at the capacity that you are, then you should do what you do.”

Banner says he became involved because “it’s so close to home.

“No. 2, there’s a Jena Six that goes on in Mississippi every month — or every two months,” he continued. “See that’s the thing. America has a tendency to try to make things — single out things — as if this is a one-time occurrence. ... We have to stop acting like stuff don’t exist.”

Exclusive Photos The Jena 6 Latest News

A group of white Louisiana college students dressed in blackface and reenacted the "Jena 6" assault while a friend snapped photos the staged attack, images that were later posted to one of the participant's Facebook page. The photos, which you'll find here ,were taken late last month on the bank of the Ouachita River, where students from the University of Louisiana at Monroe giddily acted out the racial attack.

Investigation going on since noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck

GRAMBLING -- Grambling State University President Horace Judson said the school has begun a full investigation of facts surrounding a Sept. 20 incident at Grambling Lab's elementary school in which a noose was placed around a kindergartener's neck.

The same day that thousands of protestors marched in Jena, a mock rally of smaller scale took place at Alma J. Brown Elementary School, which is on the GSU campus and run by the university.

Judson said he will meet with officials from the elementary school and the GSU College of Education.

"Everyone wants answers, and I don't have them right now," he said Monday morning.

National attention is aimed at this university today with concerns about child safety following the incident in which teachers used a noose and other means because "the children asked questions" about the Jena Six incident, said Justin LaGrande, a reporter at the GSU student newspaper.

DA In The Jena Six Case Denies The Protests And The Pressure Had Any Bearing On His Desion To Let Bell Go Free

District Attorney Reed Walters said if he had it all to do over again, he would do things differently. He would not change how he prosecuted the case; instead, he would change how he communicated the case. He’s been true to his word. In the past week he’s held two news conferences and written an Op-Ed spot for the New York Times.

Walters denies the protests and the pressure have had any bearing on his actions. No one in town or elsewhere believes him.

This story has grown beyond Jena in many minds. Sometimes the facts seem to just get in the way. Jesse Jackson said all charges should be dropped against Bell and the other members of the "Jena 6." But there was a crime. Classmate Justin Barker was beat up by a group of youths last December at the high school. And it was not just a schoolyard fight. Barker was blindsided with the first punch as he stepped out the door. As he fell he struck his head. He was defenseless as he was repeatedly punched and kicked while he lay unconscious.

Should Jena ignore this crime for the greater good? Ignore it like authorities allegedly ignored white-on-black incidents in the town? Perhaps Bell, who some say wasn't even part of the assault on Barker, should use the line some fostered in the high school after nooses appeared in a tree on campus, that it was "just a prank."

Colorado students are going to walkout on monday- for the Jena 6

University of Colorado students organizing Jena Six walkoutBOULDER, Colo. — Some University of Colorado students are organizing a classroom walkout Monday to bring attention to the “Jena 6” case.

CU senior Jarvis Fuller, a member of CU’s Black Student Alliance, said the walkout was part of a national effort called for by rapper Mos Def to highlight the treatment of six black teenagers in the Louisiana town of Jena.



“This is a clear example that there’s a lot of inequality, a lot of injustice going on,” said Fuller, who learned about the effort in an e-mail from a friend on campus.

He said the 50 members of the BSA would participate in the walkout and wear green to represent liberation.

Sally Ho, a spokeswoman for the University of Colorado Student Union, said representatives of the student government would also join the walkout.

Jarvis said he would encourage more students to participate through e-mails and postings on Facebook, a popular social networking site.

Last week, thousands of protesters converged on Jena to rally against what they perceive as different standards of justice for blacks and whites.

Jena Six KKK Tattoos The Latest Jena 6 News

Since the Jena 6 rally, copy cat young racist have been hanging nooses from trees at their schools in America. Young white men with KKK tattoos on their chest have been attempting to incite riots by displaying noosed ropes in front of Jena 6 protestors. Racist web sites have been trying to hype up the sleeping white racist in America.

The families of the boys accused of attempted murder in Jena are receiving endless death threats by phone. Why doesn’t the government use the Patriot Act and tap and trace the phones of these terrorist that are terrorizing these families? The government won’t do anything because government security systems aren’t meant to protect African Americans. If these systems were meant to help us, they would use these systems to defend us in times like these. I am sure that they are listening to the phone calls and they are keeping a log of who calls. They just aren’t doing anything to the callers because the terrorist neo-nazis and KKK members are keeping colored people ‘in their places’ like they have done since the end of the Civil War.

President Bush says that the government is monitoring the situation. The government monitored the slave trade. The government monitored the national distribution of drugs into the black community during the civil rights movement. The government monitored Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Now the president says that the FBI is monitoring the Jena 6 situation. What the government needs to do is stop the prosecutor in Jena. The government needs to free Genarlow Wilson.
