Well much of Durham has a "to hell with them" attitude towards Duke

So Duke folks say "to hell with Durham" and Durhamites say, "to hell with Duke." That sure goes a long way to explaining how things got this far. When someone asks how could indictments have come down on such flimsy evidence , I think we have an answer.

Parents all over the country are rethinking sending their kids into that environment for sure and Duke's admissions department has its work cut our for it.

Durham said "to hell with Duke" first and a long time ago. It makes a difference. Nothing makes your own failures more galling than someone else's success. Case in point is CGM who has made a lifelong series of bad decisions. Why is she "owed" something by the people who didn't make those bad decisions? There's only so far the successful group can go trying to accommodate the dysfunctional group's aggrieved racial identity before they come to realize that it's all never-ending manipulation of white guilt and say "to hell with you" back. Yale's been trying to appease New Haven for decades and has gotten nothing for its effort.

What's most appalling is Brodhead's gutlessness not defending his students and throwing them into the bottomless dungeon of Durham racial justice without a fight.

Oh, so it's okay that they were indicted because they are from well-to-do families and that offends Durhamites, and that's fair and just so the wealthier "gowners" should pretend to be poor? You sure are an appeaser. You probably think we should negotiate with Bin Laden.
