A group of white Louisiana college students dressed in mud and reenacted the “Jena 6″ assault while a friend snapped photos and videotaped the ignorant act. Images were later posted to one of the participant’s Facebook page. The photos were taken late last month on the bank of the Ouachita River, where students from the University of Louisiana at Monroe giddily acted out the racial attack.Kristy Smith, a freshman nursing student, posted the pictures and video on her facebook page. The album of images was entitled “The Jena 6 on the River.”
In the video, three students with mud smeared across their bodies stomp on a fourth student, while two of the participants are heard to say, “Jena 6.” One man can also be heard saying, “Niggers put the noose on.”
Watch the video below
After the video and photos on Smith’s page were discovered by fellow students, she removed the material and made her Facebook page private. Smith, who did not respond to a TSG e-mail sent to her school address, apologized for the images in several recent Facebook postings.
“We were just playin n the mud and it got out of hand. I promise i’m not racist. i have just as many black friends as i do white. And i love them to death,” she wrote. She added in a later message that her friends “were drinking” and things “got a lil out of hand.”
When faced with heated online criticism from fellow students, Smith yanked the photos and video from Facebook, but not before one student downloaded the photos and another videotaped the video directly from her computer screen (and then posted the clip on YouTube).

The Monroe campus is about 65 miles north of Jena, where thousands of marchers gathered on September 21 to protest what they claimed was unfair legal treatment given to six young black men arrested in the beating of a white high school classmate.
THIS IS RIDICULUS, AND DEGRADING!
THE JENA 6 WAS AN INCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED AND FOR IT TO BE REINACTED IN SUCH A DISTURBING WAY CALLS FOR SOME SORT OF PUNISHMENT! IF THESE WERE BLACK CHILDREN POKING FUN AT THE YOUNG WHITE MAN THIS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A LOT MORE ATTENTION AND CRITICISM* THESE TYPES OF ACTIONS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED AT ALL, BY ANY RACE. AND FOR THE YOUNG LADY TO SAY IT WAS FUN THAT GOT OUT OF HAND , IS FOOLISH….. WHAT PART OF THAT BECAME FUNNY, OR ENJOYABLE?? I HAVE YET TO LAUGH!
JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT NOT ONLY ARE PPL IGNORANT AND THAT APPLIES FOR ALL RACE(S) AND GENDERS AND BACKGROUNDS, BUT THAT IN TODAY SOCIETY, RACISM IS STILL A BIG AS IN THE PAST….
Teenagers..ok…am i supposed to be mad?
nah…i’m good.. i can think of gazillion more pressing matters we needa be focused on rather than some teenagers playing in the mud.
gosh… there are really racist people in America? WOW..what a shock!
I THINK THOSE WHITE KIDS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIRSELVES. I BELIEVE THAT THEY REALLY R RACIST. ONLY RACISTS USE THE N-WORD. THEY NEED THEY ASS BEAT 4 THAT. EVEN AFTER THE NEW LAWS, SOME R STILL RACIST LIKE THAT.
i aint even gonna get mad at this. its not worth people gettin mad over. they the ones who look dumb as **** runnin around like dumbasses on the internet not me so i can really care less.but i know for sure they feel like shit now cause people callin them racists and shit. they put that on themselves.
Anndrea: White people are so stupid and racist and want to beat on black people because they hating
Tyana: I think it was disespectful and childish and someone needs to do something
Dion:They are mean and I hate them and they should love black people and if they don’t like us.Why they dressing like us???
Nef:THEY ARE STUPID AND LAME????
Hassan: I’m black and I’m PROUD
I really thought that racism died out, but I see now that it looks as if it’s starting all over again. Now the word **** is defined as an ignorant person. And what they did was clearly very ignorant, so would we be wrong for calling them that? Nig·ger: Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc. <- That’s exactly how the acted!
i think it’s hella sad that we as a people are not over this racial sickness yet, especially after all that Dr. Martin Luther King & Bro. Malcolm X stood for back in the day, you would at least think we would be moving forward by now, but it seems it’s a continual journey especially with the ignorance of these white students mocking the Jena 6…Somebody needs to punch them in the throat, lol
This is unacceptable. Political Violence against African American males in this country is sending a terrible message about worth to our young men. These obnoxiously ignorant students have taken an event that represents such severe institutionalized racism and made a mockery of it. This is White privilege at it’s finest! White kids who don’t have to worry about the valence of oppression as they navigate the world, and furthermore find it entertaining to make such parities…Remember, these are the grand children of the kids in Jim Crow photos, looking on as Black men were castrated, burnt and hanged! Until we begin addressing race honestly and openly without all the masks, we will never move onward and upward…
I don’t understand why white america think it’s ok to shit on other races. As if they’re the superior ones and, it’s ok to do it without any consequence!
Is it a shame ? No question? Everything about Jena 6 is a damn shame!!! Both sides Black and White you ask me. I’m tired of all the grandstanding on Black and White issues. When as country realize Black White Red Brown Yellow we as American cant survive without each other. This hate things is plain OLE Stupid. We as Americans have folks around the World wanting to Blow us up and we sitting here reverting to the 60s and 50s. Why? What good is it doing for THIS COUNTRY USA?
UNITED STATES of AMERICA key words in the naming of our Country UNITED!!!!! Not Separate but equal or Special Treatment for the rich and White!!!
This country has come to far and been through to much for this crap. Wake up folks my American Folks!! Cut this BS out cause its unproductive as country. WE are the best so lets Conduct ourselves in a better fashion.
WOW…The ignorance!! I mean I kinda disregard the fact that they were under the influence. They should have known better. Then they had the nerve to put it on facebook!?…
I think that somebody who can put mud on reenact racist crime can put they ass back in their mothers womb and die. Thios world is still freakin racists.
Lol you cant just say some shit like that put it on the net make a video all that shit
and come out with some it was fun. Thats like me bombin all the whites and comin’ out with “oh psh man that was just fun we was playin we didnt mean anything by it” AHAHAH@I have as much black friends as white. Who gives a shit my niece and nephew are half white yes so that means i can talk down on all the “crack” ass people.
I think it’s very sad that these college students haven’t learned more sensitivity than this.
Human rights must be talked about with kids. Our children need to grow up thinking, discussing, being aware of these issues, and developing compassion.
Dumb Ass People With Nothing Better To Do Damn Shame..That Was Distrespectful ..**** Them White People Do What White People Do Act Like Idoits And They Do It Better Than Any Race Out There
pure ignorance. i like how she used the alcohol excuse though. i’m sure she was sober as hell when she uploaded the shit.
then again i’m not highly appauled by it either. but it WOULD be hilarious if they got expelled from school or some shit -n- would have to explain to their parents why they can’t attend that school anymore.
“I promise i’m not racist. i have just as many black friends as i do white.”
lol like thats supposed to justify doing what she did. some peoples children…
How when white people do things like this is kind of goes unpunished thats the problem with the world. In the words of Riley from the Boondocks “When does personal Responsibility come into play”.
Racism is very much alive right here in the USA. And aren’t we just so proud?(sarcasm). We ought to be ashamed of ourselves. Yes,they may have been just playing in the mud but don’t blame your ignorance on alcohol. Were they even legally able to drink? If you didn’t want anyone to bash your behavior, don’t post it where anyone can get their hands/eyes on it. And the way you can spot a racist person? When they reply, “But I’ve got lots of black/white friends (whichever applies). Or my BEST friend is black/white. Give me a break. Want to go a step further, read the book, “The Darkest Child” or look at Spike Lee’s movie, “Do the Right Thing” or better yet, get a bottle of Windex and a paper towel, then look at yourself in the mirror and find something good and decent about yourself.
