In this eerie reversal of the Duke lacrosse story, a girl was allegedly raped in the bathroom of a Duke fraternity house during a party. North Carolina's News & Observer said the suspect being sought was in "his late teens or early 20s, about 6 foot 1 and wearing a do-rag, a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans."

Most telling that Nifong isn't all over this one.

I had not heard a thing about this case. After reading your post, I did an internet search and the details of this crime are absolutely. Its unbelievable this story did not receive more coverage.

Thank you for posting this article I downloaded the deatails off of Snopes.com and passed it out to my friends. It takes people like you to keep it on the internet. This crime was savage and unspeakable and even news organizations like Fox won’t run with it. This is the fifth thread of this horrific black on white crime and I’ve been posting and re-entering this thread as often as time lets me. It’s scary, no one seems to care.

Another one for the “Why am I not surprised file.” And the lame-stream media still doesn't seem to have a clue as to why people don't trust them anymore.

First, there is the fear of stirring up more racism among Klansmen and neo-Nazis, as the Knoxville case has started to do.

Whatever the intentions of the press for not reporting on this case, I think we can assume their intentions are not as noble as indicated above.

Not all hate crimes equal in the media
John Kass

June 13, 2007

“Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton appear to carry the story forward. They know their roles and play them well. The cameras click. Editors dispatch think pieces on race in America. TV talking heads offer commentary and what are called “town meetings” and “national conversations on race.” Special-interest advocates use the media time to argue for racial preferences in academic admissions and hiring. Politicians mouth their platitudes. Editorials chant conventional wisdom....

...But when the hateful crime involves white victims and accused minorities, there’s a problem. Jackson and Sharpton aren’t there to round out the second act...

...But mostly we’re of a certain class and tone: white and college-educated, politically liberal, holding an abiding (and terribly mistaken) faith in government regulation to engineer social outcomes. Journalists generally mock evangelicals for “believing” in creationism, yet many journalists are fundamentalists when it comes to other beliefs, like using skin color — not the content of someone’s character or the quality of their mind — to discriminate against those of other hues while defining such discrimination as fair and affirmative...”
