Touche!
who’s grace, her daughter? and whatever happened to that dude that was her dancing partner, some kinda man-chick or he-she or something.
You’re thinking of cross-dressing Cousin Clyde otherwise known as Jakki who went on Greta and other shows claiming to be a family representative. S/he will forever be known to many of us as Clakki.
There is no person called Grace in this saga. I think it’s somehow a reference to a state of grace.
Her full name is Crystal Gail Mangum. That’s a very common last name in these parts. There is a Mangum street right down the middle of Durham, NC.
Strange...no mention of Jesse Jackson paying for Crytal’s college education
He said he was going to do it but I’m not aware of anyone who has confirmed that he actually followed through.
in MY world, the stuffy, prunish and boring world that I live in, stripping your clothes off and dancing around a pole for teenagers and other young men and taking money for it is still considered NOT NICE.....
but that's just me, I guess.....
and talk about race and class.....seems race and class worked well for the accuser and against the accused....if she was a white woman attending a black party, there would be no story, and we would have marches in favor of the fine young black men with professors signing protest letters...
the media and defense attorneys would have accused the woman of having dirty underwear, of sleeping with many men, of just doing it for the money, and any and all sorts of insults...
in the Duke case, no one dare criticize the black accuser...
i know...I forgot the sarcasm tag...
Huh?
Was NC throwing down? Throwing up?
Don't be surprised to see this book become required reading in Universities, perhaps even high schools.
It will be lauded all over the media.
It will be presented prominently in the entrances of Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.
Magnum will be the darling of the Oprah, View, the morning shows, Nightline, 60 minutes, etc.
Every public library will order multiple copies.
NPR will have a special interview.
She will be a guest on Sesame Street.
She will sit next to Jimmy Carter at the Democrat National Convention.
She will named President Obama’s Secretary of Education.
Possible Nobel Peace prize.
President Chelsea’s Vice President.
It’s Mangum, a very common name in the Durham area.
Her book will be deconstructed and analyzed for its factual content by everyone involved in the case. She will end up wishing she had never written it.
She would be better off changing her name and moving away.
She and Pelosi can fight it out for customers on their booksigning tours.
