Counter March to Al Sharpton Planned
The Nationalist Movement will march at Jena to protest both the Jena Six and Martin Luther King. The planned march has already sparked reaction and is sure to spark even more as news of it spreads.
Al Sharpton plans to lead another march the same day to draw attention to hate crimes. No word yet to the Sharpton reaction to the counter-march.
It will be another case of “free speech” and the right to march vs. the message the Nationalist Movement promotes. Both sides are lining up for the battle. More on the march and black reaction from BET:
The Nationalist Movement says it will bring its “tools for empowerment to Louisiana to defeat the demands of Al Sharpton.”
This public event, called “No to Jena 6, No to King,†will feature a two-mile parade, speeches, ceremonies and petitions “as a centerpiece to abolish King Day,” said the release.
[BET] users were up in arms over the group’s plans to march in the same town where tens of thousands of people came out to support the “Jena Six†in September.
But users were divided over whether the group has the right to march.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackDuring the heyday of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1020s and 30s,thousands of KKK members cald in full regalia paraded in military-like formations down American avenues. Today, white supremacist demonstrations normally consists of a dozen or so pathetic individuals outnumbered about 10 to one by counter demonstrators. It’s remarkable that the counter demonstrators even bother to turn out. The Nationalist Movement will probably find some excuse to call the parade off. If it does take place, the parade will probably stretch for about a block.
This is so stupid. I wouldn’t waste my time showing up to protest if someone paid me. When will people realize that sometimes people are gonna just feel the way they feel and there’s nothing anyone can do about it? Sheesh. Let them protest! Everyone else does.
Blair: Good observation and accurate too.
medium rare: Exactly. Ignoring speech that one disagrees with is the best way.
In my opinion.
Thanx for both of the comments.
Yes, they have every right as Rev. Sharpton did. You may not like it but I don’t want to live in a world where racisim, bigotry and censureship is common place. I could move to North Korea for that.
