The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.

She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.

One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

Was he talking about this case or Scooter Libby's?

IMHO, Nifong and Chicken-Fitz must've got their law degrees from the same mail-order outfit.

The men that employed the stripper was a little short on brains as well. Underage drinking and nudity is a great recipe for disaster.

You win the prize. It's like bringing a rattlesnake to a party and wondering why people got bit. It may be legal but it is stupid. Strip clubs alays have the biggest bouncers for a reason.

"exotic dancing"... = Hula dancers in Hawaii.

What she was doing was not exotic in any way. She is a:

Stripper

Nude Dancer

Topless Dancer

Amusement Park Ride

Strip clubs always have the biggest bouncers for a reason.

If you read that the right way, it's kinda funny...

If it turns out this woman is lying, for whatever reason, the vultures have already descended...Jesse and gang. They smell big money...lawsuits against the alleged rapists/kidnappers, against Duke. Meanwhile where do the accused go to get back their reputation (such as it is when you're 20 and a college kid)? And the damage done to race relations in NC is tragic, no matter what.

She's a human being already - totally irresponsible!

SINGLE mother of two.

Makes a living STRIPPING.

Uses the LOW DOWN race baiting for attention.

Wishes to DESTROY the lives and reputations of two well to do WHITE BOYS.

THINKS so LOWLY of herself that she STRIPS for a LIVING.

NO EVIDENCE, DNA, supports her imaginary claim.

Yeah, she's a human being alright, who's angry at white people and wants to cash in.

Can you say Tawana Brawley, all over again?


BTW, ole Jessie Jackson wants her to have a SCHOLARSHIP for being a "victim".

"There are no good guys or gals in this story."

The only reason this is even a story is that its at Duke which has a reputation for good morals. I keep mentioning Brown university where the school sponsors an annual orgy.

You can't paint the entire school or sports team as bad for having a stripper. Evidently there were a at least a couple people willing to pay though.

Sorry about the multiple post. I don't know how it happened.

Just wondering how a person can be arrested if he has such a solid alibi?

When I was in college, my fratnerity hired a stripper to come to our house for a bachelor party. When the stripper showed up, she came with two bouncers. I guess I always thought that was the norm, since it was my only experience with a "house call".

You have a point. (I was thinking about the White House travel office and Hillary.)

"Considering her occupation as an escort, wasn't she doing that before the alleged incident?"

A PROSTITUTE, er "escort" before the rape allegations?

Geesh! Why would she even care who has sex with her, as long as they pay her?

Yeah, it's for the children.

I would have done it for my children if there was no other work that paid a living wage for a single mom. And I hate stripping and clubs.

But by the grace of God or just luck, I didn't have to do it. It would be awful. I think if you have a lot of faith, no matter what era, you can find a way around it, but I'm not sure. That Jewish woman slept with that creepy Nazi to try to save another Jew. She is counted among the righteous.

I met a German woman in a little grocery store who told how she had to prostitute herself during the war to get food for the rest of her family. She still felt bad about it, like it dogged her the rest of her life. I felt compassion for her.

I don't think much of the rest of it. Some women seem to like the thrill of it and the attention. Some even find husbands to raise their children that way. My ex-husband married one.

What a crazy f'in world. More crazy stuff has been happening in my life lately. My granddaughter had to wait on her grandfather, his daughter and her two boys at the mall the other day. She asked him if he knew her. He looked and said, something like yeah, you're pretty.

Now she's furious because she didn't know her mom went out there, and their daughter went ballistic on her for not helping her dad. The first thing she (my gdaughter) said was what did he ever do to help her?

I met up with him out shooting a race and didn't recognize him. Deja vu.

"There are no good guys or gals in this story. It's a classic tale of Western hedonism. At the very best, the accused have shown themselves to be dissipated college boys who thought it was a good idea to have a stripper at their drinking party. At the very best, the accuser has shown herself to be a skank who accepts money in exchange for her human dignity."

Concise and correct. "Lap dances" (an ugly term if ever there was one) aren't cool. Strip clubs aren't cool. Only a debased culture would think they are.

For some reason I caught it as I was scrolling by...and LOL. And, the Amusement Park Ride was a term we used back in the day, or the phrase "She got passed around more than a basketball at a Lakers game."
