Now , hopefully Mr nifong will get his.. the black woman who accused them how ever seems to be getting a free ride, why is this. I would think she deserves to be on the hot seat now as well tho that may not happen as it might, just might create a politcally insensitive situation. Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should immediately offer apologies publically to all concerned, but they wont. And in fact, all the black leaders who were so quick to comdemn should apologize, but of course they wont.

Within a short time Jackson and Sharpton stated the men were guilty and they believed the girl. Jackson offered to have Push give the Black lady that was allegedly rape by White Duke lacrosse players a free college tuition. Now does that go for them? Maybe Push should help them with the lawyer fees that were caused by the Black girl being untruthful. If they don't they are racialist Jackson and Sharpton are absolutely very racial people and should be held as that, not giving their statement any credibility. By the way did Al Sharpton ever pay the white police office the $65,000 he owed from the Tawana Brawley case?

NOW... let's talk about racism! Sharpton wants Imus fired, over rude and obvoiusly ignorant comments towards girls who are remarkable and will overcome and succeed no matter what anyone says, because they are just plain better than that and should stop whining. Tthese young men, INNOCENT from the start as most of us all knew, have had their lives and education completely derailed, at THEIR height and glory. These young white men have been discraced and slandered, dragged through a muddy nightmare that must have kept them awake endlessly with the fear that maybe they would unjustly be imprisoned for rape. Not to mention, the distress it caused their parents and other family members. All over some trashy slutty stripper with a seriously screwed up history. Geez, I think she's what some of us might refer to as a "NAPPY-HEADED HO"? If Don Imus is to be fired, then the D.A. in the Duke case needs to file criminal charges against this woman. This is a blatent form of reverse discrimination and needs to be addressed immediately. Every black American has Jackson and Sharpton standing up for them when their feathers get a little ruffled. Who's gonna stand up for our white guys when some bitch goes for their throats with no regard for anyone but her own greedy motives. She's a big girl and knew EXACTLY what she was doing.

Nifong is convicted and jailed.

One wonders how many men and women are sitting in prisons today because their Michael Nifong wasn’t caught in time.

Once again the bigotted Jesse Jackson, along with his sidekicks Sharpton, Cosby (Mr. Jello), and now the next great pair of "authorities" -- whoopie Goldberg and "spike" Lee -- jump to the cause of SPEEDY ACCUSATION and create another blunder where, if handled without the usual accusations and racially charged negative utterances, would have had a better chance to have real justice. The sad thing is, and I do mean SAD, that none of the aforementioned "authorities" will ever be sued or have any sanctions placed against them because, with the exception of Goldberg, none of them have a REAL JOB. Instead they prey on the organizations, who were founded with legitimate intentions, for the sake of being paid so they can "showboat" around in their stretch limos, live in their mansions, and garner their other expenses and "appointments" (nappy or not). It just goes to show you that as long as there are cowards then these people (what??? I used "these people"!! Whatever did I mean??)will be able to walk into any area, shoot off their mouths, cause unrest (why wasn't Sharpton charged with the death of the person who died in the riot that HE CAUSED??), then drive away in their "stretches". Just who made them the social conscience of America??? I know I DIDN'T. I DEAL IN FACTS -- THEN JUSTICE!!

So what's wrong with privileged student athletes hiring some dancers in for an artistic performance? Why wouldn't the dancer interpret the events and involve her community in her interpretations? Why wouldn't the a local politician convert the story to political capital? Why wouldn't our journalists make the most of the titillating story and its ramifications and overtones to entice an audience?

This was instantly turned into a race issue by them when what supposedly took place was a crime against a woman. They should apologize to the Duke players and administrators personally for labeling them as biggots, then they can mouth off about Don Imus.

All prosecuters strive to get as many convictions as they can. That's how they protect their job security(chances of relection) & advancement in the legal world. I have been indicted by a grand jury for three felonies that I did not do. When I asked my lawyer to get a transcription of the county attorney's presentation to the grand jury, he told me that NH does not allow the accused to have that information. I said... what?? How do we know that the county attorney did not mislead the grand jury by ommitting certain facts about my case that would of certainly resulted in my not being indicted. He said... you don't. What??? Why is it called a "secret" grand jury? Is this the U.S. or Iran? I'm innocent like the Duke guys, but my family and I have been scorned so bad by the community that we were living in that we had to pack up and move two states away. And justice for all... bullshit!
