“the house of sin”
Well, if that’s a “house of sin”, what do you call the house rented by a black frat for an off-campus party in January, 2007 (while the Duke case was still going on), at which black athletes were present; and at which a white Duke student was dragged into the bathroom and raped (by a non-student)?
(An actual crime occurred there.)
Police found drugs and a gun at the house (no guns or drugs at the Buchanan st. house).
Which coaches were fired over this? Which teams had their seasons cancelled? When did Brodhead say, “Whatever they did was bad enough?” about this case?
While on bond—1/8 of the bond originally fixed for the lacrosse players—the rapist raped yet another woman. No wanted posters were issued for him and he remained at large for months.
Finally he agreed to a plea bargain which would get him a possibility of a little over two years plus time served for
committing two rapes.
That’s the difference in treatment between being a white Duke student accused of a crime in which DNA proves your innocence even before you’re arrested; and being accused of the same crime when you are poor and black.
The thugs and rapists deserve far more punishment and many more years in jail than they apparently got. I totally agree with you. I loathe affirmative action and political correctness and the coddling of criminals simply because they are the proper color.
I don’t think the Duke students deserve the national humiliation of being falsely accused of assault and rape. But when you get drunk and invite into your home strangers/criminals, you are setting yourself up for some kind of trouble.
Welcome to the real world.
