I would definitely wager that the girls were there for a duo performance involving certain inanimate objects. Not that I've ever saw such a thing back in my fraternity days...

"I don't think that the race issue is that hard to understand. Many blacks resent whites in general for what was done to their ancestors. They do not distinguish among white subgroups. Many Jews emphasized with American blacks because of their own history of persecution and pogroms. Yet many blacks look at Jews as just another type of evil white person, and in the case of Marxist and Muslim blacks, an even more villainous person than are other whites."

Well...like I tried to say before...I don't live in a place where racial tensions are such a problem that it might affect decisionmaking of those in office.

Our population is not very large. The large employers are well integrated as are the local universities and school districts.
The neighborhoods are also well integrated.
So - while we do have problems here, we don't tend to turn on the news and hear about racial tensions or unrest in our area.

I don't think all blacks think the way you describe...but probably many do who were raised to think that way.

I think if you RAISE your children, and INSTILL good morals in their upbringing, you can bypass much of the needed legal knowledge.

Good post.

Like I said, as soon as two black strippers walked in to this house, the guys should have escroted them out. Nothing good could come out of that. Is it fair, no. Is it is pc??? No. But look at the pandoras box it opened?

The left is completely hypocritical when it comes to shielding the identity of alleged rape victims.

Anyone who was in New York City during the Central Park Jogger case will remember that leftwing black newspapers published the identity of the victim in that case. There was absolutely no doubt she was a genuine victim there. Undoubtedly those same characters are now calling for fully shielding the accuser and her background here.

"If the accuser is even found to have lied about something, the jury can discount the rest of her testimony. And if one or both of those kids have alibis, it's over."

Well, she's ALREADY lied in the initial police reports!

I agree, but I find that often times many people are very naive to the bad motives of others.

There are many many bad people out there looking to capitlize on anything, especially a bunch of what is percieved as a bunch of "rich crackers" like in a case here.

Its not fair, but this garbage happens every day in many ways to the unsuspecting.

They hired the black strippers because black strippers are cheaper than white strippers and they give more "entertainment value" per dollar in their performances.

If she falsely accused those young men, it shouldn't be. She should be brought up on charges and made to reimburse the young men's legal fees.

Tell you what, when in you come to NY, look me up and meet me in person, and tell me that to my face and we will see who is bluffing who.

In any event, this case will most liklely get dropped real soon.

What resources do you think she has to pay peoples' legal fees?

Even if she is charged, she will get a plea deal of some sort.

I have to agree. As soon as the players saw these women were black, they would have known trouble was just minutes away if they were older and wiser.

There should be no shielding of either accusers or accused. That's why I thought it unjust that Kate Faber's name was not used in the MSM in the Kobe Bryant case. A few talk show hosts referred to her by name, and caught some flack for it.

Turns out that her story was suspect enough that her team knew it wouldn't hold up in court.

To this day, most of the media will not refer to her by name.

Your first husband, huh? Well, I'm happy to hear that you got rid of that no good, lowdown YANKEE!

Watch the fur fly now!
