Don't forget that we need to pay reparations to all blacks, regardless of whether our ancestors owned slaves or not.

"Now THIS clown [Teddy Kennedy] has a documented history of abusing women -- even KILLED one"

A female friend who worked many years ago as an college intern in one of Kennedy's Massachusetts offices was instructed that women were prohibited from taking the elevator with him alone. That was to protect "him" from attacking them.

Add he is a moron too. There are many people innocent in jail I am sure but to say that what happened to the Duke players has anything to do with any other case is not justified.

"Kane is an insult to his race ..."

Yes - the human race.

Gregory Kane, doing the time warp, might revisit the "Scottsboro Boys" and if he is not so singularly and adversely affected, might see the eery resemblence of what was done to the Duke Players in the here now is precisely what was done to The Scottsboro Boys.

"This is a page long diatribe about why two wrongs do make a right."

Bears repeating.

The lacrosse players have had conservative media pundits rushing to their defense

Yeah, like Susan Estrich.

That's liberal logic for you. It happened to some black guy 23 years ago, and in another state entirely, so it's okay if it happens to whitey.

Four reasons: Calvin Crawford Johnson Jr.

That's a name, not "four reasons," you idiot.

I note Mr. Kane failed to quote Mr. Johnson as approving of continuing injustice as vengenace for his own mistreatment. I think 16 years being falsely imprisoned would make someone unwilling to have others suffer the same fate.

Virtually everyone to the right of Malik Shabazz is now defending them and that covers a lot of ideological ground.

Everybody except Wendy Murphy and Nancy Grace. Heh.

Yawn, another article supporting black payback.

Not surprising, this will be the attitude for the next few generations.

How does this moron know that the lacrosse players' ancestors weren't abolitionists, non-slave owners, crusaders for human rights, and all-around good eggs?

Some people don't have the logic or sense God gave a centipede.

You think any of that matters to him or those who run that site? Really?

Not a yawn to people who live where it's 75% black...

This poor, poor man still can't see the forest for the trees. It was a crime when it happened to Mr. Johnson, it was crime when it happened to my son and it is a crime when it happens to three students from Duke. The crime is the racists who drive these bogus complaints and hurt innocent individuals and the families who love them. What a fool this author is! He doesn't see jack$_t about the real problem. What a fool. What a gosh darned racist fool. Geez, I hate race-driven haters no matter what color they come in. I don't get crazy angry often, but I'd like to take a whip to the fool who wrote that!!!!~!

I'm shocked that Kane wrote this. He's a columnist for the Baltimore Sun, and I've always thought that he's a fair guy.

Never heard of him before today. Hope I never hear of him again. He's the lowest of the low.

From the "Two Wrongs Make a Right" school of logic.

When I started following the Duke LAX case, I thought of the old movie/book, To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some cases can see how some blacks couldn't care less if some white boys get railroaded. But that is no excuse for the people in positions of authority from the DA, to Duke faculty and administrators, to so-called black leaders to play along. That's the shame in all of this.

They should know better and be above the getting even game.

BTW. This guy needs to tell us if these white boys happened to be from some community college and couldn't afford high-priced lawyers if he would still feel the same. I have a feeling he would and his resentment has more to do with their skin than with their bank books and what he really wants is revenge, not justice.
