Even accounting for double-digit teenage IQs - how do you grow up in Louisiana, in a town that has seen racial strife over and over - without having any knowledge of  the popular connotation of the noose? Sorry, nobody's that stupid.

Beats me. I don't know squat about growing up in Louisiana. Up in Connecticut, I heard distant roomers that they like Jazz and crawdaddies. That's about it.

The part that's 362 miles from Jena.

Not sure I get your point - my God, there were... lynchings! in the North! in the middle of the 20th century! I am shocked, shocked I say. Why, I thought that everyone got along north of the Mason-Dixon!
