A couple of days ago I asked on this blog and some others, not at all sarcastically, when the McRacists would start lynching Obama in effigy. This is close enough....
McRabbleRouser needs to be forced to publically denounce this.

Most folk don't know the controversial figure has a statue, but the bronze likeness of slain rapper Tupac Shakur was vandalized twice in three days. Â Apparently the "Free the Jena 6" movement has unkindled racism across the country with the top-selling rapper being the latest target of a hangman's noose.

- Jack And Jill Politics have tirelessly covered the Jena 6 story.- Todd
- Join Color of Change's Support The Jena 6 campaign
- Matt Stoller has an interesting post over at Open Left about the influence of blogs in moving this story
- Elliott Petty has two other posts up at Courage Campaign about the Jena 6 that are well-worth reading.
- MissLaura writes at dailyKos about the inequality of justice that is at the heart of this story, inequality that is not unique to Jena, LA.
- And of course check out the posts by Pravin and rikyrah in the diaries as well.
Who gave Jena residents talking points? I couldn't make the voyage to Jena as I wanted to so I had to watch the march and rally on CNN, which gave plenty of airtime to white Jena residents. One after the other, and then another, they consistently thought the nooses were just a prank and felt we all had the wrong impression of the people of Jena.
