Interesting column re: duke lacrosse called where is the outcry now?
Advertisements [?]
Our local paper, the Raleigh News and Observer has a black columnist who tackles black issues in Raleigh and the country. Here is a really interesting read about a case in Florida versus the Duke Lacrosse case:

===================================================================
A letter-writer, pointing out civil rights leaders' initial outrage over the later discredited rape case against Duke lacrosse players, mockingly asked me why black leaders weren't equally upset over the barbarism police say was inflicted upon a woman and her 12-year-old son in Florida.

Was it because the victims, as well as the suspects, were black?

Yep, I said.

One night last month, police say, 10 masked teenage thugs -- at least the three arrested so far were ages 14, 15 and 16 -- forced their way into the family's West Palm Beach apartment and raped and sodomized the mother for hours and at gunpoint forced her to perform a sex act on her son.

Forget al-Qaeda. Forget, even, the KKK. The most fear-inducing person among many blacks is a dad-less, hip-hop-raised black boy with no sense of conscience or history.
