The Duke Case's Cruel Truth: Hateful Stereotypes of Black Women Resurface (Major Barf alert)
The Washington Post ^ | May 24, 2006 | Lynne Duke

Posted on 05/24/2006 1:14:22 PM PDT by RecallMoran

She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air.

But whatever actually happened that March 13 night at Duke University -- both the reported rape and its surrounding details are hotly disputed -- it appears at least that the disturbing historic script of the sexual abuse of black women was playing out inside that lacrosse party.

Two black women performed an exotic dance. The white men in their audience shouted racial epithets, one of the women has said. Things got rough. Someone in the crowd held a broomstick aloft and shouted "I'm gonna shove this up you," the other woman told police when she reported being raped. As the women fled the house, a neighbor reportedly heard one of the men shout: "Hey bitch, thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt."

The mainstream media have largely tiptoed around the brutal truth that has been discussed among black women in private conversations, in the blogosphere and on college campuses. It is that the Duke case is in some ways reminiscent of a black woman's vulnerability to a white man during the days of slavery, reconstruction and Jim Crow, when sex was used as a tool of racial domination.

It was the kind of predatory behavior that found its way into modern culture in the old Rolling Stones song, "Brown Sugar." And the stereotype of black women as highly sexed, like the lascivious Jezebel from slavery days. "I think there's a tendency to downgrade black women and to discount the fact that, no matter what they are there to do, they are not just animals to be used," says Dorothy Height, 94, president emeritus of the National Council of Negro Women.

"Whatever she did, she was not there as a prostitute," Height says in her defense.

Two black women performed an exotic dance.

We call that "two strippers, stripped." Seriously, the lesson here is, whenever you have a couple of ho's come over for a strip, VIDEO TAPE IT! And to be on the safe side, video tape the video tapers. Maybe bring a notary public or a stenographer, so's you don't get accused and sued.

Good find; I'd forgotten that! It's clear she's a hooker and only the blind don't admit it.

Those bastardo white boys should be made to watch rap videos over and over so they can be more sensitive to the sistas.

Perhaps black "exotic dancers" should not hire themselves out to be the entertainment at the parties of white frat boys. It does not exactly set up to be a scenario where people were too focused on racial and gender equality.

For the time period studied I remember the absolute numbers were about 870 white on black rapes and about 15,000 black on white rapes. But I have been know to make mistakes from time to time.

If you Google Lynne Duke's name she is a liberal writer who writes apparently exclusively about African Americans and black African issues.

Definitely the minority version of the KKK. I've never seen anything like it. Since this article hasn't been put in the Smokey Backroom yet, for those who aren't up to speed on the case:

The hooker has said she was raped by 15-20 men, then 3. She said that Kim (the other stripper) was in the bathroom when the rape occurred, which Kim denies.

She says the boys didn't use condoms. So why no DNA?

She says she fought for her life but is seen smiling as she leaves the house.

She tried to get back into the house. To retrieve her SHOE.

She says the third defendant arrested, Evans, wore a mustache. Evans has sworn statements from teachers, family and friends that he's never had a moustache.

One of the other two kids arrested has a rock solid alibi.

I'm hooked now :-)

And since politics has gotten so incredibly frustrating, this is one thing I can actually watch on television. LOL

And she also told the police she had recently been with three other different men and could have their DNA present from other things I've heard in the news.

To me that doesn't spell out dancer, it suggest she was turning tricks for a living with dancing on the side.

She was passed out in a retail center drunk in her car when she was arrested and decided to divert the attention from her arrest (which was dropped) to rape by Duke folks.

Then her parents get a lawyer from J Jackson and say they are preparing for a civil case against the school and the rich white boys.

IMO, doesn't pass the smell test anywhere.

"That can't possibly be true that NO black women are raped by white men."

Agreed. The number is so small it shows up statistically as a percentage of all rapes as 0.0. Even black on white rape was only ~14%, if I remember correctly. By far, most rapes occur within race.

That said, there is no evidence of "historical sexual abuse" of black women by white as the author infers.

I'm sorryt o be blunt here but she is nothing more than a Ho! Her drivers who she was having sex with took her to "jobs" at hotels - several days prior to the Duke event. You don't have to be a genius to put it together that she isn't just dancing at these "jobs". She has a history of blaming guys for rape-has stolen a taxi-tried to run down a cop-had a mental break down - has a problem with alcohol - yea she's really credible all right! And the Duke boys reps have been drug thru the mud-many of them lost their internships because of this hag. When she does time so should the D.A. I just heard on Sean's show she told the D.A. no condoms were used yet the only seman was from everyone but the Duke guys! This is the first I've heard she told him no condoms used! Black or greeen she should be jailed for a long time instead of singing "Poor Poor Pitiful Me......."

"Whatever she did, she was not there as a prostitute," Height says in her defense. ______________________ Why not there like anywhere else?

Oh, you mean she wasn't there helping them learn the periodic table or discussing ultitarian ethics? I shocked -- shocked, I tell you!

I'm just saying that I thought "Brown Sugar" was a Rolling Stones song about a Hispanic. :)
