"All [people] are equal, but some [people] are more equal than others" -George Orwell (Animal Farm)

After I read the article about the students in Jena the only thought that kept running through my mind was the quote from Animal Farm. The situation in Jena, Louisiana was just completely ridiculous, malicious, and incredibly unfair. What really bothered me was how when six black kids hurt one white kid the whole town goes crazy. Yet when nooses are hung from trees, implying the lynching of blacks, no one seemed to care. As I read the article I kept thinking back to the nine students at Little Rock. Essentially it was the same situation as the one in Jena, Louisiana. Black students are treated with cruelty for doing something that was/is frowned upon, while white students can act how ever they want, where ever they want and not get reprimanded. This recurring theme in history can only be changed one way. Not by passing equal rights bills or protesting, but by simply looking at one another as humans. Not whites, blacks, hispanics, or any other race; because essentially when everything is stripped away we are all just people.
