In his column for the week of August 24-30, 2006, Cash Michaels wondered, SHOULD BLACKS TRUST D.A. MIKE NIFONG?
The answer is "NO," Cash, my friend, and you know it. We know it. The whole nation now knows it. And it's high time you shouted it to your core constituency, including the African American voters of Durham County.
Some African American commentators have known it for a lot longer.

Are you guys watching Bush on BOR?
I think he is doing awesome!! He smacked down Hillary, very subtly!
Sorry... Back to the regularly scheduled topic :)
Where is Cash? Has he fallen off the planet? I hope not. He was coming around so nicely.
Cash doesn't believe in Liefong, but Cash is about throwing off any of the blame obviously due black Durhamites for voting for Liefong in the first place. It was their group-thin votes that put him over the top. They wanted to see whitey have to suck it up, and some came right out and said they didn't care if the boys were guilty or not - they just wanted to "get even." Cash's theme has been how does Liefong explain to the "black community" that there isn't going to be a prosecution, assuming that time comes.
Excuse me?
