The press, Nifong, the liberal professors would not be able to do any of this if there were not a huge amount of black racists.

The hatred that is in the hearts of a super majority of the black population is the problem. They are scum just like the klan before them.

(Raleigh) News & Observer
ELON - The ruling body of the N.C. Democratic Party took a stand on searing issues of the past and present Saturday, adopting a resolution apologizing for the party's role in what is known as the 1898 Wilmington race riot and another calling for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

The first nonbinding measure repudiated the role of party leaders in the racially motivated violence of Nov. 17, 1898. Dozens of black citizens were killed in the fray, which terrorized and banished black businessmen, community leaders, journalists and their white allies.....

....The Wilmington resolution, by contrast, drew no debate and was passed unanimously.

The violence of 1898 was the most notorious act of a white supremacy campaign that resulted in laws that denied the vote to blacks and poor whites across the state. The conflict gave rise to Jim Crow legislation that instituted segregation that remained in place until the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

State party Chairman Jerry Meek, who was unanimously re-elected by the committee Saturday, said the apology was an attempt to address the role of Democratic leaders and leading newspapers of the state -- including The (Raleigh) News & Observer and The Charlotte Observer -- in the riot and the party's subsequent statewide reign as proponents of white supremacy. That role was detailed in a 464-page report released in May by the 1898 Wilmington Race Riot Commission.

Those recommendations include establishing a Restructuring & Development Authority endowed by governments, media and businesses -- particularly those that benefited from the riot and subsequent takeover of state government by white supremacists. The commission also recommended creating a system for hearing claims for reparations by heirs of victims.....

...."Certainly, an apology is the minimum thing that is required," said Irving Joyner, a commission vice chairman and a law professor at N.C. Central University in Durham. "I would hope they would go further and look at all the recommendations in our report and seek to get all or some of them enacted by the legislature.

"That would show they are really serious about the apology and righting the wrongs of that overthrow."

IME, it's not a majority of the black population. It's a belligerant and obnoxious united mob running the "hate whitey" show.

IME, a majority of the black population wish to live their lives. But as I have witnessed, if members of the black "community" don't go along with the "revolution" against "whitey" there are negative repercussions. The mob runs its own form of "plantation".

On another note, if innocent white boys are to be the "victims" in this hoax, and because they are "white" and have "inherited the sins" of their fathers (having wealth status), should Dr. Holloway be also carrying the sins of her son?

See, this is where the mob mentality gets really weak and soft and quiet...

The alleged victim would lose her day in court

This is a disturbing feature of commentary on this case, apart from the facts.

A criminal prosecution is not a right of the accuser, as a lawsuit is.

A criminal prosection is the right of the State, and no accuser has a "right" to one.

There is arguably a civil right to file a complaint for investigation by the State, but this accuser does not and never has had a "day in court" coming to her.

Why?

... prep schools and in upper-middle-class communities on New York's Long Island and outside Baltimore

The quoted authors' and professors' self-loathing and obvious self-contempt is the most poignant thing in this essay, since they are all upper middle class themselves. Folks in the upper middle class earn their own livings and got there for the most part by rising in their own professions through hard work. In their efforts to arouse class jealousies by pointing to the so-called unearned privileges of hereditary wealth, they pick the wrong target and then fail to hit it. For the most part the denizens of the upper middle class is not a bastion of unearned privilege, whatever your political beliefs.

These folks are insane.

Brodhead had issued a "letter to the Duke community" that seemed to attempt to mollify the university's critics (including many alumni) who had criticized his peremptory actions against Finnerty and Seligmann. He described suspension as "not a disciplinary measure."

This guy needs a really really good lawyer to tell him to just clam up. If it is not disciplinary, then it is simply intentional infliction of emotional distress, which is even worse.

One more thing: Your post's article:

From article: The ruling body of the N.C. Democratic Party took a stand on searing issues of the past and present Saturday, adopting a resolution apologizing for the party's role in what is known as the 1898 Wilmington race riot and another calling for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Now, the WilmingtonJournal article "We're Watching YOU MR. COOPER", make a great deal more sense, no?

The article you posted is dated January 21. Today.

The "threatening" article to Mr. Cooper, January 18-24, issue.

Coman said. "Six years ago there wouldn't have been any damn tests. Do I feel sorry for the guys? No. Is it fair? No. No one ever said life was fair."

While I will give this guy the benefit of the doubt that he is better than Nifong, I don't think he is going to like the white heat of public exposure either.

Another egomaniac who does not understand that his job is to do the people's business. As a prosecutor for the people, fairness is job one.

Let's add one more thing to the mix:
hat tip LieStoppers

http://www.wral.com/news/state/story/1131457/

The state chapter of the NAACP and at least 20 other groups announced plans Tuesday to march in downtown Raleigh next month to push their aims at the General Assembly.

(snip)

Representatives of the state AFL-CIO, the North Carolina Council of Churches and the Hispanic advocacy group El Pueblo also spoke in support of the program.

http://www.ncpolicywatch.com/cms/?p=6868

According to the rally plan, marchers will begin to gather at Raleigh’s Memorial Auditorium at 11:00 a.m. At around noon, those in attendance will hear from a series of inspirational speakers who will describe the organization’s 14-point “People’s Agenda” (see below). At the conclusion of the presentations, the group will march to the Legislative Building on Jones Street where marchers will “deliver” the agenda to the General Assembly.

The “People’s Agenda”

In order to attack the challenges represented by these data, NAACP leaders have prepared a 14-point “People’s Agenda” that identifies an array of critical topics in need of swift attention from the General Assembly, the Governor, and the state’s congressional delegation. The agenda reads as follows:

1. All our Children Need High Quality, Well Funded, Diverse Schools. Our Constitution requires adequate and diverse schools. Act immediately to save our lost generation with adequate funding, Special Leadership Teams in failing schools, and fiscal accountability.

2. Livable Wages and Support for Low Income People. In addition to a livable wage, we must insure that no person goes hungry and that every person who needs child care gets it.

3. Health Care for All. All North Carolinians should have access to health insurance and prescription drugs. The state should fund innovative programs to combat public health problems that plague Black communities including HIV/AIDS; drug addiction; domestic violence; mental illness, diseases caused by global warming, teenage pregnancy; diabetes and obesity.

4. Redress Two Ugly Chapters in N. C. Racist History. The racist overthrow of the bi-racial l898 Wilmington Government resulted in 30 to 75 Black people murdered, scores of Black and White leaders permanently exiled, and trust between races still affected by this betrayal. From l947-1977 N.C. sterilized thousands of poor, mainly Black, women who lacked literacy skills by labeling them mentally retarded. The state must implement its “1898 Wilmington Riot Commission’s” recommendations and pay damages to the poor women it forcibly sterilized.

5. Encourage Participation in Elections. Support public financing of elections and same day registration.

6. Lift Every Historically Back College and University. Help them provide leadership to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.

7. Document and Redress 200 years of State Discrimination in Hiring and Contracting. Document the State’s practices with racial minorities to justify constitutional goals to remedy this discrimination.

8. Help People Build Wealth and Stop Consumer Abuse. Provide a housing-purchase trust fund for low income renters; vouchers for wounded veterans who can’t find accessible housing; meaningful tax breaks for seniors who are being squeezed out of their homes, and protect against predatory lending and foreclosures.

9. Abolish Mandatory Sentencing and the Death Penalty. Start a Department of Correction/NAACP program to help train inmates for re-entry into society.

10. Put Young People to Work Saving the Environment. Establish an environmental job corps for young people who did not graduate from high school to re-engage them in public service.

11. Collective Bargaining for Public Employees. Help public employees work out issues with their employers in a mutually-respectful manner.

12. Protect the rights of our neighbors from Latin America and other Nations. Extend North Carolina’s arms in welcome to our brothers and sisters and make them feel at home.

13. Organize and strengthen our hodgepodge civil rights enforcement agencies and statutes.

14. Bring Troops Home from Iraq Now. We cannot address injustice at home while we turn our heads from an unjust war abroad.”


The case is not on the agenda here; but I would surmise that it may be mentioned in signs or literature.

In any event, it will be important to keep reminding the legislature of the many reforms that are needed in the legal process in NC; as well as indicating to them that the public still has the spotlight on the lacrosse case, as well.

Columbia professor Gayatri Spivak calls "white men saving brown women from brown men."

How can someone in New York City write this trash. The limit on how men treat women 1/2 around the world was reached when those men decided to travel that 1/2 way around the world to do something really nasty in HER city! And a lot of the victims were particolored men and women who live in post-colonial societies - which, lest Ms Spivak forget too much history, happens to include her much revered city formerly known as New Amsterdam.

After reading the details, it is obvious Nifong should be impeached from office, disbarred and thrown in jail. Duke should be closed down, razed, and covered with salt. The Professors should be thrown in the stocks, flogged, then fired and sent back to Red China. The Duke Administration should commit sepiku.

But nothing will happen. It will be business as usual in Liberal La-La Land.

Nifong will get off with an apology, tuition rates will rise, like-minded Professors will continue to pollute the minds of America's students, all salaries will be raised, and we will continue to subsidize Duke (and like minded Liberal infestations) lavishly with our tax dollars. And the media will go back to endlessly wondering about Natalie Holloway.

As I say, it will be business as usual.

I might take a flaming for this, but on it's surface, Hargrove's (R-Hanover County) "get over it" comment regarding slavery was on the mark.

It's over. Much has been done. Much left to do. But damn it, It's friggin' over. Look forward, not back. And for God sake, stop trying to extract blood money.

(Not aiming at you Crawdad-just a mini-rant at the lot of them)
