  • Jena 6 and the Role of Federal Intervention in Hate Crimes and Race-Related Violence in Public Schools
    JENA 6 AND THE ROLE OF FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN HATE CRIMES AND RACE-RELATED VIOLENCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS STATEMENT OF ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE OCTOBER 16, 2007 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is pleased to provide this statement as the House Judiciary Committee conducts hearings on “Jena 6 and the Role of Federal Intervention in Hate Crimes and Race-Related Violence in Public Schools.” ADL and, especially, its New Orleans Regional Office, have closely followed the situation at Jena High School and in the Jena community over the past several months. The League is deeply concerned about the racial tensions in the community and allegations of unfair treatment between black and white students, as well as the allegations of racial disparity in subsequent criminal charges filed against six black students. We share the Committee’s view that the escalating series of intimidating and violent events in Jena is worth examining to determine what guidance can be provided for other communities. The inadequate response to the intimidating tactics and escalating violence in Jena provides lessons for school administrators and community leaders on the need to confront racial and ethnic tensions directly and constructively – and to defuse them before they can lead to confrontations and reprisals. In addition to our concerns for the students directly involved, our thoughts are also on the future well-being of all students at Jena and all members of the community. We have offered to meet with school leaders to discuss ways in which the League might be able to bring our extensive education and community resources and programming to the Jena schools in an effort to help heal tensions and constructively bring the community together.

  • By ANY MEANS NECESSARY: USING VIOLENCE and SUBVERSION to CHANGE UNJUST LAW
    By ANY MEANS NECESSARY: USING VIOLENCE AND SUBVERSION TO CHANGE UNJUST LAW Paul Butler* There remains law in the United States that discriminates against African Americans. Important legal advancements in racial justice in the United States historically have been accomplished by tactics that included subversion and vio- lence. This Article evaluates the use of subversion and violence to change con- temporary law perceived as discriminatory, when traditional methods are ineffective or too slow. It applies just war theory to determine whether radical tactics are morally justified to defeat certain U.S. criminal laws. This Article recommends an application of the doctrine of just war for nongovernmental actors. In light of considerable evidence that the death penalty and federal co- caine sentencing laws discriminate against African Americans, subversion-in- cluding lying by prospective jurors to get on juries in death penalty and cocaine cases-is morally justified. Limited violence is also morally justified, under just war theory, to end race-based executions. Those concerned about morality should not, however, use "any means necessary" to defeat race discrimination. Minorities must tolerate some discrimination, even if they know they have the power to end it. INTRODUCTION: CRITICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT CRIT TACTICS ................... 723 I.

    Sharpton, Jackson, and the Onslaught of Radical Race Politics By Cheryl K.

Now even more extreme groups like the New Black Panther Party are waiting in the wings, hoping to rise to the same kind of respectability. t was 2008 and two New Black Panther Party (NBPP) members had just been Icaptured on video standing mere feet from a polling place in Philadelphia.
