DURHAM, N.C. -- The faces peer from neat rows on the legal-size leaflets posted throughout the quad. All white. All male. All members of the Duke University lacrosse team

Yeah it annoys me that they'll probably get away because they're rich, white kids. Someone on that team who knows what happened needs to just step forward and oust those responsible because that would be the right thing to do. None of that covering for your team members shit.
They won't get away. Trust me, I'm on campus. The tension is at a boiling point. Basically, if they get away, there will be a riot. It is INSANELY tense on campus nowadays, and everyone and their cousin wants the administration to act NOW.
Unfortunately, for legal reasons, they can't. If a player wasn't at the party, and gets kicked out of Duke, they can sue the school. They need to wait for all of the facts to come forward, and then believe me, there will be IMMEDIATE action.
The main problem is that NC Central isn't supporting the girl that was raped. They don't want to look like "that black college where everyone sells drugs or strips in order to pay tuition", so they've basically cut her loose and aren't supporting her whatsoever. If she went to UNC or something, it might be different.
And who are you trying to convince that racism exists? Anyone who denies it is an idiot, of course racism is alive.
Do u watch that show Black White? I find it just sad, sometimes watching it. Plus I have met PLENTY of people at SMU that didn't think they were being racist when things were said. That's sad that the people at CEntral aren't supporting here. Thats part of what's wrong with the black community not supporting the victim in this case-yet we were quick to support OJ (a football player) and even Kobe. Interesting-did you know any of the kids involved man?
No, not personally, though I have been dragged to a lacrosse party or two. Those kids are fuckin animals. That's why it's so easy for the entire campus to believe they're racist rapists before we even have proven them to be guilty-- their behavior has been so terrible at parties and their personalities are so beastly that no one has trouble believing the story.
It could be they aren't supporting her because they know she's lying. Ever think about that? Something about this story just doesn't add up. And as more and more details come out, she will look worse and worse. And that makes it that much harder for women who really are telling the truth. If/when all those DNA results come back negative, watch out.
