Rape charges droppedBut what are the long term
consequences?
The rape charges have been
dropped.
Under the circumstances, I question if anything can be proved, especially since the story has changed several times. Mary Katherine Ham lays it on the line. It’s Durham. It’s full of a bunch of liberal white people who love to get yelled at by black people, and a bunch of liberal black people who are happy to oblige them. This story scratched that white guilt itch soooo good, they just couldn’t let it go, even though it was pretty clear from the beginning that the story was a little off. The national media liked the white, privileged, lax boys rape hard-working, exotic dancer, single mom story, and they ran with it, too. As a result, many lives, seasons, careers, and a successful sports program have been seriously messed with by a D.A. who couldn’t back off on the narrative, either, lest he feel the wrath at the ballot box from those whom he denied their white guilt orgy. If accusations are more important than evidence and criminal charges are only filed to assuage guilt, then we have some problems in this country. And no, it's not the problem you are thinking about. By tolerating circuses like this one at Duke University, we've made it harder for the public to take any actual rape cases seriously. Posted: Fri - December 22, 2006 at 03:07 PM
