I understand that exactly one of the gang of 88 has publicly apologized for his original biased position.

What are the supposed to appologize about? They were speaking to a "higher truth". This one guy needs to get with the program.

If it has a white penis, it must be guilty of something.....

There, a correction was in order

I heard Biddle Duke had some nasty things to say in the last alumni letter.

Well, the Lacrosse team did pay for an "education" didn't they?
They just didn't know that they were automatically enrolled in the Liberalism 101 course! I wonder if they know how a liberal/socialist thinks and behaves now?

“If it has a penis, it must be guilty of something.....

Sorry, I feel further edits are necessary:

If it has a white Christian penis, it was born unequivocally guilty. No questions asked.......

Dear Privileged Crackers,

You’re in violation of Duke University Speech Code Chapter 4, Section 3 - making minorities feel uncomfortable.

Either revoke this or face University action.

Sincerely,

Your open minded, tolerant, color blind University staff...

Great move by these students........maybe there is some hope for this country!

Hopefully they can convince the alumni to get on the bandwagon on this deal...........We have found that the “lofty ideals” of the university administration goes right out the ol’ window, when the alumni start to withhold donations!

They should have listed the 88 (or 87 depending on your count) names for all to see again. Just referring to them as the “Group of 88” gives them anonymity that they don’t deserve.

But honor is a socially-constructed notion used to preserve and extend white privilege. /s

I don't think you need the sarcasm tag, they probably actually think so.

The students should not relent.

The students should call out each Prof, by name, one a day, until all 88 are called out and shamed for their failure to make a public apology equal to their public condemnation of the LaCrosse players.

Prof. Mark Anthony Neal’s claim that, “”Regardless of what happened inside of 610 N. Buchanan Blvd, the young men were hoping to consume something that they felt that a black woman uniquely possessed.”

She uniquely possessed the swimmers of 5 men (how many of these belonged to Duke 88 Profs has not been determined) in her undies. None of the lacrosse team consumed any, but NiFong did choke on them in the end.

Asking for an apology is letting them off lightly.

They signed the advertisement. They used their reputation to bolster the importance of the ad. As I view it, they put their careers as educators at risk in exchange for increasing the impact of the ad. Signatures mean something. Just ask those who hold a mortgage or the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

They should be fired and never allowed to teach again.
