Ken Burns trivializes the victimization of the wrongly accused men from the Duke lacrosse case According to documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, the Duke University lacrosse players were "three rich white boys who were mildly inconvenienced by rape charges that proved to be false. In no time the prosecutor of that case was fired, disbarred, and put in jail, and the three ended up getting a huge settlement." See here.
"Mildly inconvenienced"? Sigh. My first reaction was that I hadn't read it right. Then I read it again, and then again. Although I am sure he's seen it, I have sent Prof. KC Johnson a note about this, and hope that he responds on his blog Durham in Wonderland.
I confess I am thoroughly perplexed about why Burns felt the need to trivialize the inestimable toll that the false accusations took on the Duke boys just to underscore the severity of the harm to the victims in the Central Park Five case. I suppose he couldn't resist the urge to disabuse middle America of what he sees as its racial bias.

Ken Burns is a liberal idiot. I would love to see him falsely accused of rape and see how he likes it.

Another 18½ hour documentary about the history of lacrosse?
60 MINUTES did a great piece on Nifong's victims. Someone mentioned that, for the rest of their lives, no matter what they do, when you Google their names, the first thing that comes up will be "rape". Dianne Sawyer was visibly moved.
But that's just a "minor inconvenience" for rich white boys ... right Ken?
People were certain that a Puerto Rican named Raymond Santana was the rapist.
They could not have been more wrong.
The rapist was actually a Puerto Rican named Matias Reyes.
No surprise to me. Ken has suffered from “white liberal guilt” for years. Just look at how he turned his “Baseball” series into “A History Of The Negro Leagues”.
For the abb list?
Do not purchase any Burns-related videos. Do not act, in any way, so as to cause one further penny to flow into Burns’s pockets. And of course, strip PBS of taxpayer funds, but we already know that.
Leftist is one thing, but this is just evil.
"Kenneth Lauren "Ken" Burns[1] (born July 29, 1953)[1] is an American director and producer of documentary films, known for his style of using archival footage and photographs."
....effeminate men who have “Lauren” as a middle name and can’t grow a beard.
...and wear bangs for many years past their fifth birthday.
Burns is a money grubbing “authority” on nothing.
Is he a transexual? He looks and sounds like a woman.
