It all depends on the events after the nooses were hung. You have to agree that that in itself is a moral outrage. It is my understanding that there was a fight involving multiple persons from each party, yet only the "Jena 6" are being charged. I read that the main guy, Mychal Bell, is facing up to 22 years in prison. For assault. People get beat up everyday, why is this case so different? That is where the race card comes into play.
