I find the author's capitalization of White and Black offensive. It creates the impression of organized groups of each. MLK, may his street run through a better part of town, was the last honest commentor on the racial scene.

In her resignation letter, Holloway criticized the Duke administration for not coming to her defense, as attacks in the form of blogs and letters to the university newspaper have mounted in recent months.

Probably because her position was indefensible! She has done nothing to improve black/white relations on campus; only made them worse with her knee-jerk acceptance of the lies told by the 'exotic dancer' and her dismissal of the accused students as dirty white boys.

The [Duke] administration "failed to recognize the racial dimensions of this and failed to address it quickly" wrote Duke political science professor Paula McClain

Iow, the administration failed to immediately and unequivocally declare that the players were guilty of all charges leveled against them.

This is like having Hitler resign as chairman of UNICEF, I mean, it doesn't get any better than this. This woman would have protested Jesus' healing the sick if she'd been around at the time.

Perhaps somebody should xerox the following list of quotations by Dr. Martin Luther King, and put "Duke Lacrosse 2006" at the top, and pin copies up everywhere. As a small silent reminder . . .

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"A lie cannot live."

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"A right delayed is a right denied."

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict."

"The time is always right to do what is right."

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
