Hey I would like to know what you all think about the recent controversy around the black NCCU student stripping for college tuition that was raped and beaten by 4 white Duke University lacrosse players and the party consisted of 40 of the teams members?

Soror, just for the record, that was at Duke, not Central.

The student that was raped went to central but I can make the correction to include the school the boys went to.

Thanks

Rape (regardless of race or occupation) is vile and dispicable. I hope those responsible for such acts are held accountable.

I agree but the sad thing is that they are not being held accountable. They are still allowed to attend school and have not being suspended. I believe if the situation were turned it would be different. Much different.

40 witnessed 4 committed the crime but none of the players are talking, they are all sticking together and items of the young woman's was found at the house where the rape took place.

Now THAT I didn't know. But what I am hoping for is that justice will be served. I honestly haven't heard too much more about it since this has happened, because I haven't been watching/listening to the news lately.

Yeah they talked about it on the Russ Parr Morning Show and the issue is that none of the men were suspended pending the investigation or anything they decided as a team to stop their season and not play any more games but have not owned up to or confessed to their part in the act of beating and raping this young woman. They separated her and the other girl that was with her and then began to beat and rape her and while doing so they called her racial names. It is truly sad how much racism is alive and well. There are also witnesses that said they were called the N word just because they were sitting outside of the house hours earlier.

OK...I have to ask this...

Would you care if it was a white girl who was raped by "40 White Duke Lacrosse players"???

If your answer is Yes - you would care - then why is this a race issue??????? I can't say for sure, but they probably would have raped whoever they hired - black, white, yellow or pink. It just happened to be a black girl in this case.

The issue is a GIRL was raped by several Lacrosse players and no one is stepping forward. Do you honestly believe that if the girl that was raped was white that magically someone would offer info or step forward???

Oh, and if you answered "No" to the original question, then I just have no more words for you.

Oh I am concerned about there being a rape that occurred but there is a problem when the victim is being blamed because of her job and it was not publicized until week later, mainly because of race and class. I hope there are no blinders in the world that will hide the fact that this is a race issue. Especially when items were found at that house and none of the males have been arrested. The question to you AlphaFrog is, if they were black do you think they would be arrested now?

No, I highly doubt they would have arrested an entire black Lacrosse team. I admit that they MIGHT have put a little more speed on the lab tests to get the DNA back so they could start making arrests.

Gods Ivy · #13 04-04-2006, 04:05 PM

That is unfortunate. Even if they would not have arrested the entire team some arrests would have been made. Clearly there is unjust in the criminal system and particularily when it comes to race and class. The fortunate get away with murder.

And what do you suggest might have been the rationale for conducting the tests with "a little more speed" had the team been black?
