Someone must have paid that restitution for her and I think she is darn smart to be out of Durham.
Many around her have had little faith that anyone black would do anything but railroad these guys. Well Roberts has not taken the easy path of racial solidarity and I think that is to be admired.
Possibly. I don't know, though, that her speaking out is very altruistic. She sees which way the tide's running.
She gets on CBS 60 Minutes with bombshell #1; ABC GMA with bombshell #2--Expect bombshell #3 with a Dan Abrams exclusive on NBC. The trifecta!
I hate being so cynical-but I can't help it.
I think she's doing what she perceives serves her own interests, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as she doesn't cross the line into falsehoods and fabrications. In dealing with someone like Kim, one can only rely on her as to facts she observed. Her opinions and perceptions are not trustworthy inasmuch as they are motivated by extreme self-interest to present a good image, so that aspect of her presentation must always be kept separate from her statements of facts and observations.
I don't think Kim considers herself completely black since she is half Asian, something she has pointed out a couple times, so while she would bend to pressure from Durham blacks who support Mangum, I doubt that she embraces any solidarity or much identity with them. Brushing the Durham yoke of Liefong and black racists off her shoulders, she is free to tell the truth. If singing like a bird advances her own agenda, no harm no foul - as long as she sticks to the truth.
