Jena

I'm not really up on the latest headlines. Some people were talking about this situation in Jena, Louisiana this morning, though, and it reminded me of an outstanding report I heard on NPR in July. It had me sitting in my driveway, waiting for it to finish, fuming with indignation.
"I think it's safe to say some punishment has not been passed out fairly and evenly," Fowler says. "I think probably blacks may have gotten a little tougher discipline through the years. " ... "Our town is not a bunch of bigots. They're Christian, law-abiding citizens that wouldn't mistreat anybody."
Calling Bull Connor.
