Audacity of Truth
Thomas Sowell puts Duke rape case in historical context
And no one could have said it better:
The worst thing said in the case involving rape charges against Duke University students was not said by either the prosecutor or the defense attorneys, or even by any of the accusers or the accused. It was said by a student at North Carolina Central University, a black institution attended by the stripper who made rape charges against Duke lacrosse players.
According to Newsweek, the young man at NCCU said that he wanted to see the Duke students prosecuted, “whether it happened or not. It would be justice for things that happened in the past.”
This is the ugly attitude that is casting a cloud over this whole case. More important, this collective guilt and collective revenge attitude has for years been poisoning race relations in this country.
[...]
At one time, the black civil rights leadership aimed at putting an end to racism, and especially to the perversion of the law to convict people because of their race, regardless of guilt or innocence.
Today, this young man at NCCU represents the culmination of a new racist trend promoted by current black “leaders” to make group entitlements paramount, including seeking group revenge rather than individual justice in courts of law.
Read the whole thing.
I think there’s also an element of ‘white guilt’ in all this as well in terms of Nifong continuing to pursue the investigation. I wonder if he’d have done it had the victim been white and the alleged rapists been black with all indications (via evidence and statements from multiple people that night) pointing to the possibility that no crime didn’t happened?

I can’t believe that mentality of that kid. Would it be fair to say I believe that kid is leftist?
Is he saying he’s not for the rule of law? One thing is for sure… leftists have a pattern of making false allegations (yes I’m generalizing) but they will sometimes slip up and admit it’s ok or right as a means to an end.
Bak,
Nope, just a racist trying to justify his racism.
The menatility of his exists mostly on the left though. Conservatives generally preach about ending discrimination and preferential treatment based on race ala Ward Connerly’s book of solution called “Creating Equal”. THe opposition to him and his message came from extreme leftists.
Yeah, and he isn’t rare in the Black community either. *sigh*
Wither goest thou, America? Down the tubes?
- Whatever the truth is, assuming it will come out eventially, its pretty obnious the sacraficial table has been set becuse the guys come from well to do upper class families. Which for the Liberals, who work from a base of class warfare, is grist for the mill right out of the chute.
- Its interesting to watch the Liberals like Cholmes immediately line up on the accusers side, sympyomatic of the “victum of the man” mentality, that they view the world through on every issue.
- And then they laughably deny they are in perfect concert with Communist ideals.
- This Prosecutor better have a smoking gun in his court file, because if this turns out to be another phony political witch hunt, hes going to be in for a hard life.
- My best guess is the boy friend(pimp), got really angry when she showed up broke becayse she got so wasted she forgot the money. He beat her up, had his way with her, and then threatened her with this trumped up scam as a way to get out of his bad graces, maybe even escape a worse beating.
- Its an old, all too familiar story, that happens every day of the week, and one that any big city cop can spot in a heart beat. I’d give it a 98% chance of being exactly what happened. The final piece fell in place when the only positive DNA on her privates came back as her so-called boy friends. If this would have happened in Detroit, Chicago, LA, or New York, it never would have made it to the first hearing.
- Bang
A Washington Post article provides the liberal historical context,

The Duke Case’s Cruel Truth
Hateful Stereotypes of Black Women Resurface

She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air.
But whatever actually happened that March 13 night at Duke University — both the reported rape and its surrounding details are hotly disputed — it appears at least that the disturbing historic script of the sexual abuse of black women was playing out inside that lacrosse team house party.
Two black women performed an exotic dance. The white men in their audience shouted racial epithets, one of the women has said. Things got rough. Someone in the crowd held a broomstick aloft and shouted “I’m gonna shove this up you,” the other woman told police when she reported being raped. As the women fled the house, a neighbor reportedly heard one of the men shout: “Hey bitch, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt.”

The Duke Case’s Cruel Truth
(since the “truth” is “cruel” one would assume the boys are guilty, but after reading to second page of article, the cruel truth may be that it reminds some of past discrimination)
Hateful Stereotypes of Black Women Resurface

She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air. (the boys may have just been thinking about sex and not about race, and unhappy about the short sex show)
But whatever actually happened that March 13 night at Duke University — both the reported rape and its surrounding details are hotly disputed — it appears at least (at least implies guilt) that the disturbing historic script of the sexual abuse (is watching a strip show and making tasteless comments “sexual abuse”) of black women (the boys actually ordered a white stripper) was playing out inside that lacrosse team house party.
Two black women (one was a half black, half Asian which the boys mistook for a Hispanic stripper they were promised) performed an exotic dance. The white men in their audience shouted racial epithets (only after they got in a financial dispute), one of the women has said. Things got rough (implies violence not rough words). Someone in the crowd held a broomstick aloft and shouted “I’m gonna shove this up you,” the other woman told police when she (eventually) reported being raped (after being arrested for public intoxication). As the women fled (helped to the car by some of the boys) the house, a neighbor reportedly heard one of the men shout: “Hey bitch, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt.”
In the sordid but contested details of the case, African American women have heard echoes of a history of some white men sexually abusing black women — and a stereotype of black women as hy
When the stripper “eeny meeny miney moed” the boys out of a line up that guaranteed only Duke Lacrosse boys were chosen, to the DNA (or lack of), the boys’ alibis, the 2nd stripper changing her story to profit from this scandal, the cab driver, I didn’t think this case could get any weaker, but then evidence reveals that stripper lied to police about not having sex for a week, then later confessed to having sex with her boyfriend and two other men who drove her to the party, and using a “vibrator” in a performance prior to the Duke party.
And again when you think that this case couldn’t get anymore ridiculous, from Nifong’s own reports we find out that the police omitted important information including that the stripper claimed that the 2nd stripper, Kim Roberts Pittman, helped the boys rape her.
The stripper originally claimed that the second stripper helped with the rape!
Just when you think this case hit rock bottom, there’s about 50 feet of crap, then you find a sub-basement where in the corner Mike Nifong is clutching this case like “Gulum”, from the movie Lord of the Rings, clutches the “ring of power”.
If Mike Nifong doesn’t get disbarred after this, then there really is a corrupt system in Durham that protects rich white guys. In Nifong’s case – stupid rich white guys with transparent political agendas, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Nifong can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.
I love cherry pie, but I don’t like cherry picking. Some people are trying to claim that the defense attorneys are cherry picking, but I don’t see it.
Much of the information Mike Nifong leaked wasn’t so much cherry picked as it was artificially made by him personally (i.e. date rape drug, his reasoning of no DNA match, etc…).
Maybe Nifong is just clumsy and trying to make a pie, which would explain why he has egg on his face.
