Comment: These Duke frat boys are the sons of rich industrialists and powerful families. They will be scolded in court, acquitted and told to return to the Lacrosse team to win the conference championship. Rich, white folks don't go to jail .... they visit federal prison a.k.a. "country clubs". They play golf in the morning, tennis in the afternoon, drink tea and play canasta in the evening. Wow, what a tough punishment!

Comment: Lying about rape is like bending over and letting someone ram a broom handle up your azz and then having that same azz beaten black and blue by that same broom only to turn around and have your spirit and soul take another azz whipping in the court of public opinion. More men lie about the size of their dicks than do women who lie about rape.

Comment: This should be real interesting. From what I hear Durham is predominantly Black/working class and that is the jury pool for this trial (unless they get a change of venue). So thats good for the victim. But these lacrosse cats have money--so look for alot of dirt to come out about this sista to discredit her. In any event--she'll get some money on the civil side--if there's enough evidence for a criminal indictment--then there'll be more than enough evidence to get a fat settlement in a civil trial.

Comment: Many brothers were murdered/tortured or imprisoned because of a white women's cry of "rape"...They have been "lying" for years!!!..This sista may or may not be lying, but there seems to be alot of ammo to discredit her....remember "they" tore Tawanna Brawleys story to shreads, and ripped Al Sharpton a new azzhole!

Comment: You're so right Harriet. This woman has nothing to gain by lying. Heck, if anything she'll be made to look like the ultimate slut. The fact that she is a stripper with two kids and whatever other skeletons out there, makes her a defense attorneys dream. After they finish with her she'll wish she would have just kept quiet about the whole thing. At the end of the day it will be her standing trial. I feel sorry for her.

Comment: They have yet to be able to contest one shred of her initial statement. A lack of DNA means nothing for most rape cases are prosecuted minus DNA. I saw her father and her cousin on Nancy Grace last night and her father said that she cried all night long the day it was revealed that there was no DNA match. She knows exactly what she is in for yet she has not rescinded one word of her initial claim. The medical examiner gave a report to that grand jury to convince them to indict so that it is more sensible to believe that she is not lying than to believe that she is lying. Tawana Brawley is the only Black Woman that America can pull up when it comes to lying and rape and yet her one lie seems to disqualify all other Black Women who bring forth allegations of rape. That is not fair. When white women cry rape the byatch who clamied that Emmit Till whistled at her isn't thrown up in thier faces and as a Black Woman, I am pretty much sick of Tawana being thrown up in mine.

Comment: These white boys have just as much dirt with them as does this girl. I pray that this child isn't lying but still wonder why she couldn't break her finger off pointing out which ones %*$aulted her. No matter because if they did this they should be punished past the limits of the law. Once the legal system has run it's course - the neighborhood needs to take it's turn at this LaCrosse team. You do realize that the neighborhood around Duke is the Hood?! I'm surprised that the brothers haven't been sending messages of some sort to these white boys and their friends to let them know not to get too comfortable on them azzes cause that's exactly what they are after!

Comment: Harriet Tawana Brawley isn't defending Tawana Brawley and she is the only one to carry the burden and stigma of lying about being raped. I understand what you're saying but this case and the investigation drug on a little longer than was necessary so the last thing I want to hear about is her past and TB. I want the evidence and this young lady to be able to tell her story and these boys get more than the punishment they deserve - they specifically targeted a black woman and my spirit is not settled on that just yet.

Comment: McNasty- My spirit is not settled with that at all. I am not cool with seeing drunken white boys make plans to rape, skin and then kill a Black Woman for fun. This is 2006 and not 1886 yet as a Black Woman I am still threatened by random acts of hatred and violence at the hands of crazed mobs of white boys and I am not pleased with that at all. It is also upsetting me, as you mentioned, that Duke is surrounded by the "hood" and out of that jungle there has not come forth one "brother" with a bucket and a rope in his hand the way I saw that white man arrested in court because he went down to hang the demented cracker who kidnapped, raped, brutally murdered then stored in the closet for later consumption, the little ten year old white girl. The outrage of that man at what had been done to that little girl is the same outrage I would like to see from brothers but do not and that doesn't sit well with me either, nor does the fact that part of the reason white boys think that they can beat and rape a Sister with impunity and for "fun" is because they listen to Black men rap about demeaning Black Women and exploiting Black Women in thier videos. They hear about them abandoning us and know that we are left alone and think that we will be caught off guard defenseless just like we USED to be. But today is not yesterday and we are no longer defenseless whether we are alone or not. This Sister is fighting back and as long as she is fighting we should be supporting her and not "hoping" that she is telling the truth. Again, it is not standard procedure for us to lie about rape. We are more likely to lie about an orgasm than we are a rape.

Comment: Tawana Brawley is one case that happened many years ago. Are we going to let that one case tarnish every rape case that involves a White man and Black women? Most women who are raped do not lie about it.

Comment: Harriet, the last part of your last post was so on-point. Priceless, I hadn't thought about them slipping her something, but that makes a lot of sense. And has anyone heard or read anything about where was the other dancer when all this was going on?

Comment: Mmm...that "mikey" theory could have some validity. When the two women were in there the first time, the guys threatened to screw them with a broom handle. Maybe there is no semen because she was penetrated with a broom and not a penis when she was passed out. When she awoke she know SOMETHING had been in her vagina.

Comment: Victornator- That is a possiblility and perhaps the lacrosse boys had the boys from the water polo team do the actual penetration which would explain them all coming up clean of DNA.

Comment: I don't believe that a brotha can get within two hunnerd feet of these hillbillies now. The university's security has taken care of the most part, and the players's parents's money has provided the remainder of the insulation. If this hadda been me, they'da had me on national TV, with the stainless-steel bracelets on too tight, bright lights in my face, with the cops just beggin' me to say somethin' sporty...PEACE.

Comment: I see your point Harriet...I said this before, Durham, NC is predominantly black; I for one would have my "black" azz on the front line ready to tear up some sh*t on Duke's lily white campus...I too saw the victim's dad on TV from the neck down..He appeared to be an older man trying to abide by the law...I felt him...But that being said, Tawanna Brawley's name will always be associated with the rape of a sista whose accusations authorities and defense attorneys deem suspect..In this case because of her profession...

Comment: To: Victornator. I see your point. That would explain why the prosecutor went ahead with the case. They probably did slip something in her drink then could have raped her with a broom or some other object knowing their dna would never show up and that no one would believe her. Sick. And from the contents of that email – that sounds like something these sick perverts would do.

Comment: how come everytime i hear about this story on the news they say it was an alleged rape of a strip tease dancer? maybe the alleged part i can understand, because you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, unless you are black. oh, i just answered my own question. next question, why do they continue to call this sister a striptease dancer instead of a woman, which she is? oh yeah, she is black. ok, next question, how come these moneyed white boys can rape a sister and get away with it? some of you may attribute this to the misogynistic rap lyrics out there, but i know better than that. because they( all white people, and some black people) believe white life is more valuable than black life; not only in amerikkka, but all over the globe. if you don't understand white supremacy, nothing in this world will ever, ever make sense to you. we must learn. whenever y'all are ready to roll on some muthaf**kas, and are 100% serious, holla at ya boy!! 1love.

Comment: allow me to preface these questions with a disclaimer: THEY ARE NOT DIRECTED AT THIS SISTER!!! if a woman is called a slut, does she deserve to be raped? if a woman puts herself in a precarious situation does she deserve to be raped? if a woman is 18 years old, and has a 5 year old, aaaannnnddd a 3 year old, and a baby on the way, does she deserve to be raped? if a woman is passed out drunk, does that give you the right to do to her as you please? of course not!!! but the media and the defense will make it seem like these points are relevant. 1love.

Comment: The fact that they never quoted any of the officials (police, or hospital workers) in any of these stories tells you this girl has a case. If she didn't they'd be selling their story to the highest bidder. I still say that some night riders need to be checking for these white boys and if they are that insulated, pretty much any white boy on campus will do!

Comment: TMan I truly believe that self preservation is one of the first laws of nature, having said that I agree with you - she had a chance to leave but went back. It still does not justify what these white boys did to her and the lies they have told about the incident and this mother's child!

Comment: >Faithful05: To answer your question, I read in my hometown paper that the father of this 'black' lacrosse player made a statement that was really "straddling" the line. He didn't express outrage, but just said he hoped justice would prevail. I went to college in Colorado with a lot of these "Lacrosse type" black folks. Many wouldn't speak to me on campus ESPECIALLY if they were with their white friends. They wouldn't attend our parties or social meetings and loved to join white fraternities or sororities. On of them got his azz beat at a cowboy bar and I just looked at him and didn't lift a finger. If you can't speak to me on campus, I ain't gonna help you fight Colorado, racist cowboys! It can't be both ways!!

Comment: First of all, its all bout entitlement, they think they are entitled to everything, even if it ain't theirs. If they can't have it, then they try to force the hand and take it. No one should be raped, its degrading and forceful, however, what a lot of young folks do not understand is that these same folks that spit on us, wieghted Emmitt's body down, hosed us down with water, these fools are still alive, and they are teaching their children and grandshildren to be hateful but to shrewdly show it in another way. I would have never ever, went into a place with all males whether white or Black, but especially white, because I know if a Brother usually wants nothing to do with you he won't touch you, but a mean ole hateful dickless white boy will try to do something to me, because of his hatred and intimidation..Wake up People, it has not changed and it is not over until we are wiser and start using our brains and stopped getting tricked....Peace my brothers and Sisters.
