I have no problem associating with black folk and I am in my right mind. I have been officially certified sane twice and since I work in a nuclear power plant, I am under regular observation for aberrant behavior as an indication of any possible mental problem. I have also taken the MMPI twice in addition to the other sanity verifications.

As for the excellence of black folk, there is a long history of that in the US. Many people come to mind when I think about that. The first is my organic chemistry professor at the US Naval Academy, Dr. Massey. He may be the smartest man I have ever met and he was the most excellent instructor I had at the Academy. The second and third most excellent instructors were also black, and they had a lot of competition. One was a naval aviator who taught electrical engineering and the other was a mustang lieutenant who taught military leadership. I also lived with a while with two black nuclear licensing engineers and have a friend who is a nuclear licensing engineer now after being an NRC-licensed Senior Reactor Operator (SRO). There no affirmative action in taking the SRO training or in passing the examination for SRO. Neither is there any affirmative action process involved in hiring licensing engineers. They are the people who the power plant owners and operators rely on to help them understand the complex regulations and follow them correctly.

A woman who claims she was raped by members of Duke University’s lacrosse team was described as “just passed-out drunk” by one of the first police officers to see her, according to a recording of radio traffic obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

I have been wondering whether or not the nurse in such situation takes a blood sample or something of the alleged victim.

No rape took place at that house, I am convinced of that.

Welcome, dearie! – Admin

I presume she was examined at the hospital. Check this doc: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0405061duke4.html

Stripping, like prostitution is all about money. So, follow the money. Where did it end up? At the house. What does that mean? She wasted a lot of time, energy and aggravation and didn’t even get paid.

So, high as a kite she leaves the house, smiling for the camera,as we have been told now by the attorneys. No anger or malice.

A little while later, less drunk, more angry and now crashing she gets pissed about losing her cell phone and cash and decides to get even with those rich punks..Ill say they raped me.

Not something she would do if sober. But she was not sober. How many people following this party said “How could I have been so stupid”. The only good news is no one died. The bad news is a lot of people’s reputations, the accusers included, have been destroyed.

How could the women and players have been so stupid? Easy,they were all drunk, young, and (in their minds) indestructible.

The more important questions is how the the police and prosecutors could have been so stupid…they were at least sober and older and working in their professional capacities and should have known better.

Here’s a link to a story on the Raleigh Newspaper. It also has a streaming clip of the forum held at NCCU’s campus. There are some interesting comments. There are also some glaring holes in the DA reasoning of why they are only presuming the LAX players.

Under this philosophy, rape is reduced to a case of “was there penetration with permission.” But the “willing woman” concept clouds the issue.

I carry no brief for the brutal act of rape. But complicated situations resulting from miscommunication in the midst of foreplay conducted by a professional, paid foreplay specialist is something entirely different from nasty, vicious, terrifying rape.

I seriously doubt that whatever happened to this stripper and mother or two will cause her to change her lifestyle. I am not a fan of the “boys will be boys” school of thought, but a professional hormone exciter is a bit beyond stupid in my book. I don’t think that she deserves what she (possibly) got, but I think her claim of “rape” is real cheap shot at a deadly serious felony.

La Shawn, I don’t see Duke filing a countersuit under any circumstances. This is a university that prides itself as being more-liberal-than-thou.

In fact I would not be surprised to see some faculty members and students claiming that this incident represents the tip of the iceberg and that Duke is actually some kind of KKK headquarters. Not only would they get fawning uncritical attention from the MSM (the fact that NC was a “red” state in the last election would be mentioned in every other sentence), they could shake the administration down for “compensation” in the form of funds for whatever hokum they could cook up. A shakedown, in other words, and Duke would pay.

1. htom asked about the “vile email”:

I read on a blog (some Baltimore journalist) today that the “vile email” was a take off of the Bateman character in the movie “American Psycho”, which evidently had cultish status with a few players. If you have seen the movie and read the entire email, including the part omitted by every paper (”while cuming in my Duke issue spandex”), this explanation is plausible. sorry no wifi answer

Charlie Sheen was quoted as saying that everyone had it backwards, he paid for Fliess’ women so they would leave after sex.
