Make that those in the nation who wanted to see three innocent rich whites get it to pay back centuries of (despicable) mistreatment.
Wow
It’s good to see a black woman apologize for how the Duke players were treated and for her to castigate Jesse Jackson, deservedly.
Within one year, local news broadcasts will have news, weather, sports, and public apologies.
Very good piece, thanks for posting it. At least one journalist out there has some integrity (I was starting to wonder)...
“Yes, you made an unwise decision to entertain strippers at a residence, but that just makes you guilty of being like 90 percent of college males.”
90%? I don’t think so.
“If anyone felt a sense of victory over Imus’ rebuke, they should look at what happened to you and know it will be a long time before we can truly celebrate.”
Everyone should fear for their livelihoods. Like Kelo, innocent people can be ruined by fiat without guilt. Those “the wrong man” film noir movies are coming true.
Good column
I hope you read all of this column. It’s great!
The innocent men should be paid $3000 per month by the DA.
LOL!
Wow! I have never heard of this young woman, but I like what she has to say.
Long but well written comentary hear.
Example:
I could blame Jesse Jackson, who I have hoped for years would disappear to a faraway land where CNN wouldn’t follow. As usual, Jesse showed up and showed out. He incited the masses and then left everyone else to sort out the wreckage. And if Jesse wants to gain an ounce of the credibility he no longer has, he would find the nearest camera — and we know he’s good at that — and express sorrow with all the sincerity he can muster. But the day Jesse apologizes for causing a scene is the day Rosie O’Donnell wears a muzzle.
Well there are rich white guys that can sometimes get away with-—essentially murder and or/rape. But based on the demographics within my lifetime, I might conclude they are most frequently liberal, and either are a Kennedy, a relative of the Kennedys, a Clinton or a Clintonesta.
It seems that jail time is required—for Nifong.

I heard the families spent $3-$5 million on attorneys. Someone owes those folks that money back and a lot lot more.
Outstanding editorial.
