A secnod great article by AA sports writer Jason Whitlock :

"When it comes to American justice, it is foolish for black people to choose sides based on race. We’re far better served being on the side of justice at all times and complaining when it doesn’t arrive at our doorstep rather than rooting for injustice to befall the privileged.
"If the Duke lacrosse players are innocent of sexual assault and are somehow forced into a plea agreement or conviction, it’s a mistake to believe that the middle income or wealthy will somehow grasp that the poor of all races face similar injustice on a daily basis. Well, let me restate that. They’re well aware of it. The deeper understanding of it won’t cause them to readjust their attitudes or take action to enact change.
To the contrary, if anything, what is happening in Durham is further polarizing the haves from the have-nots, white from black. It’s justifying racism. It’s justifying a mind-set that states: Do it to them because they’d do it to you."

Yep. And Durham has nobody but their own bitter selves to thank for it when they become a convenient tool or scapegoat in a serious criminal case. This is what happens when you have one-party rule, be it the Soviet Union or Durham. No oversight, no accountability, no checks and balances.
