[StBernard] Governor Blanco issues statement regarding harassment of families in Jena

[Westley Annis]

Ms. Blano/all: One must understand that "hate groups" are not by any measure
limited to the white race. It's not isolated as only a Caucasian issue.
Every race has hate groups. The only issue here is simple: Everyone turns a
blind eye to the truth that all cultures are not immune from bigotry and
hate. 

To start, listen to the Rap music lyrics for how badly hate is harbored,
manifested and promoted. Where's the outrage and marches, where's the
disgust and where's the monopoly spun only by caucasions? 

Pay attention folks. Every culture has hate-mongers. It not only emulates in
one culture. All must look within its own family to notice where hate and
anger festers.

Governor Blanco issues statement regarding harassment of families in Jena 

BATON ROUGE - Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco issued the following
statement today in response to national reports of hate groups publishing
private contact information for family members of the Jena Six on the
Internet:

"Harassing families involved in the legal issues in Jena can not and will
not be tolerated. Public attacks on private citizens done out of ignorance
and hatred is appalling, and anyone who stoops to such unspeakable
persecution will be investigated and subject to the full penalty of law. I
have asked law enforcement agencies to investigate this matter, and as
Governor I will do everything in my power to put a stop to these cowardly
threats to Louisiana citizens."
