Durham, N.C. -- The state chapter of the NAACP on Thursday called on those involved with the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case from defense attorneys to state bar officials to stop talking publicly while the state attorney general's office begins its review.
"We sincerely believe that the high level of public scrutiny and controversy involved in this matter is unwarranted and threatens to pervert the truth-finding process," said the Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
No parties involved in the case have indicated whether they plan to stop speaking publicly.
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, under heavy criticism for his handling of the case, asked the attorney general's office this month to take over the prosecution a decision Barber said his organization applauded.
Until turning the case over to state prosecutors, Nifong led the investigation into allegations that a 28-year-old black student at North Carolina Central University, hired to perform as a stripper, was raped and beaten by three white men at a March 13 party thrown by Duke's highly ranked lacrosse team.

***NAACP needs to go bark at some 'federate flag somewhere...***
The article authored in the Wilmington Journal really reads: No Justice/No Peace. It's a wordy rehashy threat of the LA Riots. It's a "we've done it before, we can do it again" threat. I suspect no politican, of any stripe, here in the Old North, south, would relish the idea of actually going against the dictates of a mob mentality, by which the MSM, predictably would fuel the mob in order to slur anyone as "evidence of more racism going on in the old south". I suspect this is the reasoning behind the smarmy and smug recent release from the NAACP.
And the news media need more stories to sell their newspapers, and get viewers to watch their garbage on TV. I was in California when Maxine Waters started those riots with her threats.
Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, emphasized that those who demand justice in this case "must not be wrongly described as a lynch mob."
Barber also noted the importance of seeking God for guidance and asked the crowd to pray for the accused because they "are suffering themselves from a deep sickness in their souls."
Rev. William Barber is a racialist hack, as his own words prove. His interest is "reparations" but only so he can belittle the U.S. Constitution and denigrate the dignity and purpose of Christ's suffering.
Then you know perfectly how racialist hucksters operate, what they promote, and how they accomplish their wicked agenda: What they represent. They don't represent "Blacks", they represent anarchists for marxism and redistribution of power upon the back of fairness and true and genuine equality for all by the bigotted use of "skin color".
You got it! And Cesar Chavez did the same thing with his movement with Hispanics in California in the late 1960s. There were no significant racial tensions in California until the Watts riots in 1965 and the grape boycott later. Maxine Waters picked up again after the Rodney King beating, which was likely deserved now that we have seen his complete history.

Glad to see someoone at the N&O let Coman know that we bloghooligans know who he is and remember his past.
Actually there is one. It was started by David Duke. Don't think you wanna go there.
The Willmington Star link did not work for me. Here is the working one I found:
http://www.wilmingtonstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070119/EDITORIAL/701190305
That is an editorial I can fully support. It what the NAACP, Cash Michaels, the editors of his paper and really every should hope comes out of this mess. "Mike's Law" would do much more for black defendants being railroaded than any retribution against the defendant.
This guy is a really, really, BMOC!
Jumping in here
Jakki
As long as Jakki has the cover of being a female, he escapes scrutiny.
Jakki O'Knight, Drag Queen Extrodinare is all well and fine.
Who is Clyde (I have my doubts that is his real name) Who is he and what is his background? Does Clyde have a record?
Jakki just showed up one day, presented herself as family spokesperson and in spite of the contradictions, no one questions her. A member of the local NAACP? Associate with any closet gays in the Durm gov't?
There has to be a way to find out more about Jakki's other life.
