They also managed to work the word "plantation" into the article pertaining to Duke.

How on earth is this woman an "exotic" dancer? There is nothing the least bit "exotic" about this local skank. Or does she do her sex act with a hula skirt and castanetas?

SirJohnBarleyCorn,

In regards to your 'Exotic' comment, I pointed out to the Raleigh N&O in an article about a week ago that they were being inconsistent.

The had an article about a club causing problems and the headline was "Strip Club Owner ..." I asked them why the owners are Strip Club owners and the people working there are dancers. I wonder why they didn't say 'Dance-Club' owner?

You are right about the plantation remark... Nothing like going back 145 when you're talking about 19 year old kids. When these kids where born, Oprah was the Highest Paid TV personality. The Cosby show was the number ONE TV show, and
his nickname was "America's Dad". The grew up watching Rap videos on MTV.

We all need to ask ourselves why the need to go back and mention the south, slavery, and priviledge in reporting of this case. Because they are trying to elicit an emotional response, a negative emotional response toward these players.
