News items that should be shouted from the front page get a paragraph on page 6 so there's room for Hollywood brats in the headlines. How wrong is that? I'll accept the title of the carnival (though I wouldn't object to a change) because it celebrates our ability as bloggers to bring much-needed publicity to these stories. The Jena 6 are in headlines across the country, finally. How much of that is due to the huge number of bloggers who spotlighted it? We can celebrate that!

I put a picture of Justice on my blog your blessing post last Sunday. Here from the carnival. Sounds sick, saying carnival of injustice. Need to come up with a new name. Got any ideas?

What I do not miss is the blatant racism that permeates so much of society there. While I was raised around it, I was not raised to understand such hatred and bigotry. Nope - don't miss that at all.

Did you post bring up memories. My parents were from NYC, so I was not raised around prejudice. When I went to junior high and they started segregation was the first time I had heard the n-word. I remember my parents' business being defaced by graffiti because they served people of all colors. How dare they try to drag the human race back to those times? Wow! Did you post bring up memories.
