Jesse Jackson Says Organization Will Pay Alleged Rape Victim's Tuition
Posted: Apr 15, 2006 Updated: Jan. 7, 2007
DURHAM, N.C. — The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday that his Rainbow/Push Coalition will pay the college tuition for a black stripper who has made rape allegations against white members of Duke University's men's lacrosse team.
And the offer stands even if it turns out she fabricated her story.
Jackson told The Associated Press Saturday that his organization is committed to making sure the 27-year-old divorced mother of two will never again "have to stoop that low to survive."
Jackson has not spoken with the woman, who is a student at North Carolina Central University, a historically black university.
DNA tests on all 46 of the lacrosse team's white members failed to match any evidence taken from their accuser. But Jackson said there's plenty of circumstantial evidence that something happened to her at the March 13 party.
Attorney Bill Thomas said a member of the defense team interviewed the other dancer who performed that night and she "has stated point blank she does not believe this allegation."
Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong is expected to bring the investigation before a grand jury, starting on Monday.
In Racially Balanced City, Race Becomes Focal Point
Durham Mayor Bill Bell is black. So are Police Chief Steven W. Chalmers, City Manager Patrick Baker and a majority of the City Council. Durham's population is almost as black as it is white.
So why is it that some blacks like Preston Bizzell, a 61-year-old Air Force veteran who said he's never experienced racism in his 30 years in Durham, believe justice here is swifter and harsher for a black man than a white one?

He was asked about that on CNN last night. Said he thinks she’s moved on and he doesn’t even know if she’s in school anymore. Basically shuffled around the issue.
Don’t “HO ld” yo’ breath!
I bet Jackson hasn't done an honest day's work in years. The money he's going to use to 'reward' a criminal with a college education is probably from donations from people who've never been privileged to see the inside of a university and money he's scammed organizations to contribute to his phony organizations. He and Sharpton should be ostracized and not allowed to appear on any networks until they make apologies and reparations to the 3 Duke students that they smeared and maligned with their racist remarks. Turn about is fair play. People like Jackson and Sharpton are the real racists and they keep stirring it up for their own political and personal gain.
I'm not an Imus fan and don't watch him...I could never understand his sense of humor, but if you're going to fire him, fire others who've done just as bad.
Methinks we are going to hear more and more about Blair’s comments on “black culture”.
Everyone, involved in the railroading of these “Kids” as Charlie Rangle would have called them if they had been soldiers in Iraq, but in this case it was ok to refer to them as white men who raped a young black mother and college student, is going to get sued....some may even go to jail ala Martha Stewert.
If The Black leadership needs a Horst Wessel to raise money from their donors, Crystal Gale whatever will do, but she will have to commit suicide first in order for it to work.
and....Sirius stock will rise.
CBS just fired Imus.

Yeah, right.
Dancers are not bad people.

I totally agree there. But a woman who takes her clothes off to entertain strangers is only slightly above a hooker, no matter what she is using the money for.
