This is a clear case of self inflicted faux racism.....

T'would appear to be so. And every day with no info released or leaked adds to the suspicion. There are supposed to be a bunch of smart kids at Duke. I suppose it is a pipe dream to hope that one or two might be curious enough to hack into the disciplinary file on this???

Not that am advocating criminal behavior. Just wondering...what if?

Use the unanswerable, 100 percent secure defense, kid.

There is no worse crime than having a black man leave a noose on a campus quad.

He should be lynched for this!

If his name was Duane Jacob Hatfield, his face would already be burned into our media neurons.

Whats the race of the student in question? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes they do, and being as they did not specify, people tend to make up their own minds, don't they?

my minds not made up but it wouldn’t surprise me if the whole thing was staged. The fact that the student has not been identified makes me a little suspicious.........wouldn’t be the 1st time, but we’ll see.

If it were a crime, the suspect would have been arrested, and we would know the name.

For now, it just looks like he is going to be expelled, and expelling him is the right and responsibility of Duke.

When I was sixteen I had a mini-noose hanging from my rear view mirror in my ‘67 Nova.

I never even thought of it as racist, but more of a wild-west kind of thing.

Guess it must be my white privilege.

I am absolutely positive that had the “perp” been a cis-gendered, white, male we would all know already. It’s Duke ... they don’t need an excuse to throw the white boys under the bus ... it’s a reflex ...

How is this noose not offensive to cowboys in the wild west?

Why does a piece of rope require law enforcement investigations?

Tom Dooley got hung. When I first heard the song I found it odd that a man convicted of murder would write a song about it. Tom Dula (theys spell kinda funna in Appalachian speech) proclaimed his innocents before he died.

The “Grand Ole Opry” seems to get a pass on it.
