Duke University:what a Ugly mess
another classic case of Race&Class going down. the Lacrosse team is accused of rapping a Black Woman who is a Dancer. there are over 46 members of the lacrosse team,45 of them are white&the only ones being sampled for DNA. i'm not surprised at all.I have never cared for Duke University anyway. always thought they were Pompous&so full of it. what shall come of this? this feels like 1906&I wonder if this will be swept under the rug? hearing about racial issues at a Ivy league school ain't nothing new.probably goes on alot more than is ever reported,but again a school of Privlege&prestige is more often that not treated with kid gloves.as a Black Man in america who has seen some foul things when it comes to Race,would it surprise me if this was to be downplayed? no.i'll tell you one thing though,if this was a Black College with a football team or something&the alleged attackers were Black Men&the victim was a White Woman you can best believe that it would dealt with rather sooner than later. always a double racial standard&a School with a certain image has alot of ice on the cake,even when things aren't always so smoothly layered.also hearing that racial slurs greeted the young woman entertaining the players only adds fuel to a situation that if you have been on this planet for a minute&you are Black,you just assume is only a matter of minutes from happening.Duke truly has a Blue spot that rears a ugly head.
