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?

Sheesh, makes me sick.
When will he apologize (democritters are big on apologies) to the lacrosse players for ruining their reputations, convicting them in the court of public opinion and basically destroying their lives?
Personally, I think that the men who were accused should be able to name Jesse Jackson as one of the people in a lawsuit for fanning the flames against these young men with absolutely no evidence to go on. (That goes for Al Sharpton, too)!
I’d like to see the Duke players sue him too for incitement and a “hate” crime against them.
Jesse is paying the Tuition and we are paying for her to have one kid after another..Folks she just had another kid and that makes three..And we are paying welfare for them..It is time we made the federal government make these welfare whores either take birth control or put these children up for adoption..when they are born..
“divorced mother of rwo”
BS. She should either be prosecuted for lying or the children should be taken away from her if she is in such a sorry mental state. She shouldn’t be able to play it both ways.
Listen, if you actually do some research you would learn that some strippers are putting themseleves through college, or are single moms and supporting their kids.
In a nice pace they can make over $500.00 a night, and no I don’t mean being hookers.
Dancers are not bad people.
Saddam Hussein paid the families of suicide bombers, and Jesse pays a bounty for honkie bashing (can I still say ‘honkie’?).
“Nine different samples of male DNA, and not one of those samples belonged to the three accused men.”
Maybe they should get a DNA sample from the Reverend Jessie Jackson...wouldn’t be the first time “his holiness” was found in the wrong hole.
Unbelievable...
I guess Jesse feels the “nappy headed ho” deserved a payoff.
Her reward for validating the stereotype of Jesse’s base constituency?
Semper Fi
Jesse is a nappy headed ho!
Strippers definitely spell trouble. Of occupational groups among women, they have the highest rates for committing murder. Also high rates of suicide, drug abuse, and other deviant behavior. This Duke case had to be bad for the stripper business.
I've done the research, but the data seems to always be inconclusive and I find myself strolling down the boulevard one more time. Maybe if I stripped it down to just the bare facts ....
I hate to say it. I Really hate to say it...but, the exception of course is: unless you are white, anglo-saxon and/or are a male from this group.
Jesse just protecting his own...lying, filthy, drug-headed Ho...
I didn’t mean going to strip clubs, but I have read some information that indicates that all of them aren’t sleazy.
I guess Jesse found a new mistress.
Stop reading my mind.
