If I had a child who was a student at Duke, I'd be looking to get that child somewhere else far away from the city of Durham. I know there are many good people there, but a city that can exercise this kind of collective horrible judgment is basically Sodom (or is it Gomorrhah?)
I agree.
The only thing I can take some solace in is the fact that this was one of the lowest turnout in Durham's history.
All I can think of is the people there are apathetic about this case now, due to the media saturation.
Duke students have very little contact with the residents of Durham, unless it is tutoring their students or spending $ in their businesses. Have you ever been to Durham? It is neither Sodom nor Gomorrhah. It has areas that are poor and suffer the same problems that can be found in any city anywhere. They did not welcome the NBPP with open arms. I have found the black people in Durham to have much less "attitude" than the blacks here in CA. IMHO, you are just as bad as Nifong in condeming a whole city without evidence.
Hopefully all the middle and upper middle-class whites will gradually leave Durham, and the blacks can have it. We know what a $hithole they'll turn it into - give it five years.
