I agree. I think Cash is beginning to realize that he and the black community have been played by Nifong for political reasons. That's what I hope anyway. Hopefully that will make Cash and the black community very angry. They were lied to about this case and like you said, nobody likes to be lied to.
I can just about guarantee that.
Well, all that's true. But I also see the AAs throwing Nifong under the bus as though they, themselves, had no hand in the ugliness that transpired during that approximately 45-60 days. Remember the pot-bangers? The NCCU forum? Cory Peterson? The NBBP? The candlelight vigils outside the Buchanan house? "Dead man walking"? The drive-by threats? The beating of a white Duke student at a hamburger stand? How about, "It may not be fair, but it makes us even"? The black reverend somebody-or-other and the church marches to the Buchanan house? The posters?
No, black Durhamites may want to cry victim once again by blaming Nifong for the wholoe mess, but they need to face facts. If they weren't so blinded with racial hatred in the first place, they would have withheld judgment - and their ignorant demands and threats - and let the process take its course. But no. As usual, they had to get loud.
It's a sad comment that a white candidate has to create a racial issue in order to get votes from Durham blacks because they vote in a lockstep block. There isn't one independent, original thinker among them. Think about it. They've banded together in order to make themselves a political force to be reckoned with. Okay. But all of their issues are race-based, and they all vote the same way - as they're told, basically. Through their own doing, they were ripe for a Nifong to come along and pander to their blind racial hatred, so pardon me if I don't fall all over myself because some dude named Cash Michaels finally figures out they've been had (by yet another Democrat). I hope they catch onto the final straw, and that is that it's obvious from the evidence that Nifong could not have believed Mangum's wild, shifting stories even at the outset of the case. Their first clue to his pandering for their vote with no ammunition behind the case should have been when Nifong pressed on even when the DNA said otherwise. Idiots.
Now look at the damage that the perfect storm of the black Durhamites racial hatred combined with the ambition of a useless nobody hack like Nifong have wrought for these boys. Some people are just too stupid and too mean to be allowed to vote or to run for office.
Cash Michaels may be smart enough to get out in front of the coming tide of blacks against Nifong, but he wasn't smart enough to look past his own ugly prejudice and see this case for what it was when all the earmarks were there three months ago. So let's not kid ourselves that he's changed his position from a position of moral authority. He's simply capitalizing on the inevitable.
Also, the "black community" in this farce ended up looking really bad.
