On the Inside

Most of you have properly at least caught wind of the scandal at Duke University last year where the lacrosse team reportedly gang raped a black stripper. All charges were eventually dropped, and that's all I ever heard about the case until this evening. I came across a blog called Durham-in-Wonderland that is an incredible, incredible piece of investigative journalism. It was written by a history prof in New York who rose to the defense of the lacrosse team and showed time and again how horribly this case was executed. I read through it and can hardly believe he's talking about the United States. The errors, presumptions, and illegal actions described in this narrative I'm linking to are inexcusable. This is a clear case of "reverse" racism, a man mobilizing a black community to vote for him based on his defense of an oppressed (and innocent? how? ) black woman who can't tell a story the same way twice to save her life... or make a case.

This guy's incredible. I hope he's there to help me if I ever get falsely accused.
