The Duke Lacrosse Debacle — Who Cares Who's Innocent?
The Duke lacrosse rape scandal — in which well-to-do white athletes stand accused of raping a black stripper, despite a curious lack of evidence — is starting to smell a little like a Tawana Brawley reprise. It was only a matter of time until Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton appeared on the scene.
Brawley, who now calls herself Maryam Muhammad, launched Al Sharpton's career by smearing herself with dog crap and claiming that police officers raped her and scribbled nasty racial epithets on her skin. While the hoax destroyed the careers of decent men, Sharpton was able to exploit it to set off on his quest to surpass Jackson as the nation's premier race hustler.
Now the tables have turned, with Jackson reduced to playing catch-up. He has announced that his Rainbow/PUSH money machine will pay the tuition of the alleged rape victim — even if her story proves false.
If this woman is telling the truth, whoever raped her certainly deserves the full punishment of the law, and kudos to anyone who steps forward to pay her tuition. But if not, she is willing to destroy innocent men's lives, as well as the credibility of every woman who cries rape, including of course women who really are raped.
You would think it would make a great deal of difference even to Jesse Jackson whether or not she is telling the truth. But then, Jackson did serve as the spiritual adviser to Bill "You'd Better Put Some Ice on That" Clinton.

What would a rape expert say?
How many times have groups of 47 or even 3 men who enjoy forcible rape committed gang rape in the past? (the Central Park Jogger gang rape false convictions was overturned by DNA). Name all the gang rape cases in the USA (3 or more men) that you can.
(If you think men are packs of rapists, you took too many feminist courses.)
How many of the men who enjoy forcible rape and get off on the power like their victims drugged unconscious so they can’t experience the rape?
Alternative Theories:
The victim was so drugged/drunk that she does not know what happened.
The victim was so drugged/drunk that she was not capable of giving consent and the men may not have realized this, being drunk/drugged or just young and naive (she likes me).
The victim blurted out “rape” when wasted and mad over a bad night and is stuck with her story.
The victim has psychological problems and not a good grip on reality.

Pay for her college tuition even if she's making it up? Great -- let's provide an incentive for more black women to frame more white men in order to get their education paid for! Astonishing but not surprising coming from the likes of Jackson, race hustler extraordinaire.

There is a simple way to end the racial hysteria surrounding the Duke Lacrosse team. Simply tell people it was El Duke,
not Duke players that were accused the rape of a white woman, and the same civil rights leaders who are lynching the Duke Players would lynch the racist DA.....
I can see it now, "racist DA perpetuates black rape myth." And of course the nails were planted by a racist cop, "If the nails don't clip you must acquit."
