Ironically, the Duke rape hoax officially marked the end of the KKK as an instrument of racial activism, shall we say.
Has there been a clearer, more widely known, more widely participated, and more prolonged episode of black-on-white man-to-man racism in the U.S. in the past decade? Anybody remember any statement or protest from the KKK on the race-based accusations, rush to judgement, disregard for civil rights, and even death threats against the three white boys? Nope.
The KKK has apparently hung up their hoods. It's time to consign them to the scrapbook of history and even to stop making comparisons to them as a force to be feared.
That Duke has not canned these clowns effectively removes the school from the status they so covet.
They will wear their second-tier status in perpetuity for their inaction.
