Apparently no DNA evidence was found in the case involving the Duke lacrosse team and the black stripper. While this can be seen as good news in the sense that it appears no crime was committed against her, it’s bad news in that she claimed there was. This is just what this country did not need….another minority crying wolf at the first sign of discontent. If it turns out that these guys didn’t perpetrate any inappropriate acts on this woman she should required to pay damages to these young men. One student-athlete was kicked out of school. They forfeited the rest of the season (when they hada shot at the NCAA title) and everyone lost a year of eligibility.It just makes me sick to my stomach when things like this happen. We have enough trouble already trying to convince white America that racism still persists in legitimate cases. False accusations like this raise the bar of necessary proof even higher every time it get any media coverage.
Sometimes we (blacks) are our own worst enemies. I’m from Atlanta and it’s sad to say but there are a lot of us who have never left the plantation, even though the gate is wide open. This didn’t really sink in until I moved away from the south and realized that not all of us behaved that way. We as a people need to get off our duffs and take control of our own future. The government is not going to save us.
In the past we rode in the back of the bus because we had to. Now I see kids doing it because they think they’re cool. We have historically low voter turnout, but we’re quick to complain when government doesn’t give us what we want. In order for us to grow as a people we need to leave the perceived safety of our own neighborhoods, stretch our comfort zone, and take advantage of opportunities that are out there for the taking. We need to stop calling each other n****r because if that’s all we think about ourselves what should we expect others to think about us? I’ve always said I don’t want to be given anything, other than a chance. Just get out of my way and I’ll get it myself.
In other news black rapper gets shot and killed. The only good reason to be up at 5AM on a Tuesday is because you’re working the graveyard shift or you woke up early to boff the wife before work. I guess he’ll finally get that oh so important “street cred” he’s been after all these years. Fucking idiots. Do the world a favor and kill yourselves off…putting you ass hats in jail costs too much.
