Jesse Jackson Says Organization Will Pay Alleged Rape Victim's Tuition
Posted: Apr 15, 2006 Updated: Jan. 7, 2007
DURHAM, N.C. — The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday that his Rainbow/Push Coalition will pay the college tuition for a black stripper who has made rape allegations against white members of Duke University's men's lacrosse team.
And the offer stands even if it turns out she fabricated her story.
Jackson told The Associated Press Saturday that his organization is committed to making sure the 27-year-old divorced mother of two will never again "have to stoop that low to survive."
Jackson has not spoken with the woman, who is a student at North Carolina Central University, a historically black university.
DNA tests on all 46 of the lacrosse team's white members failed to match any evidence taken from their accuser. But Jackson said there's plenty of circumstantial evidence that something happened to her at the March 13 party.
Attorney Bill Thomas said a member of the defense team interviewed the other dancer who performed that night and she "has stated point blank she does not believe this allegation."
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong is expected to bring the investigation before a grand jury, starting on Monday.
In Racially Balanced City, Race Becomes Focal Point
Durham Mayor Bill Bell is black. So are Police Chief Steven W. Chalmers, City Manager Patrick Baker and a majority of the City Council. Durham's population is almost as black as it is white.
So why is it that some blacks like Preston Bizzell, a 61-year-old Air Force veteran who said he's never experienced racism in his 30 years in Durham, believe justice here is swifter and harsher for a black man than a white one?

You are correct, I was trying to respond so fast I missed the video of what’s her name... thanks for the input...LOL

Payouts to false claims - great advertising gimmick for bringing in more “horror stories.”
What if she likes it Jesse? Ever thought of that? Maybe she IS a ho.
They fired Imus and Jesse keeps the liar on the payroll.
Well, she'll be stooping even lower by taking money from this organization.
He’ll pay the tuition, and then take all of her life’s earnings, -for the children, of course. More extortion. When will someone expose him for the POS that he is? I’m so tired of this crap. Boycott MSNBC and CBS for the Imus debacle!
Nine different samples of male DNA, and not one of those samples belonged to the three accused men. Let me say that again...NINE NINE NINE DIFFERENT DNA SAMPLES.
So I now ask, is this woman a college student or a prostitute? Ruefully, it is rather difficult to tell in these “Wild On” days. Nine different men used this woman, that is such a disgrace upon her and her family. As if she even knows the meaning of the word...Prison time, nothing less.
What the heck is he talking about? How in the world did her false accusations "help her survive"?
Who's money is it that he's giving away?
These guys just keep getting more and more weird.
“Payouts to false claims - great advertising gimmick for bringing in more “horror stories.””
Yup. I was thinking the same thing. Great for race relations......back to the fake but accurate scenario.
“Jackson told The Associated Press Saturday that his organization is committed to making sure the 27-year-old divorced mother of two will never again “have to stoop that low to survive.”
Jessie has just slammed a lot of women that work hard stripping and earning money to take care of their families. This is not a very nice man, he should not be allowed to speak in public again.
I’ll bet a lot of strippers are in fact Democrats.
I hope she accuses him of rape next—she’s real good at that, it seems, and it would serve him right.
Makes me wonder if he`s talking about her being a stripper or a serial rape accuser. I understand this is not the first time she has done this, something it seems people like Mike Nifong chose to so conveniently ignore.
yep, rewarded for her bad behavior..good lesson!
That's mighty white of you.
OMG!! That’s funny!
Smooth-haired (and talkin') Sharpton has her address.
Lets reward all the liars...If it will make money for you.
