You are right to focus on the racial element. If the alleged rapists had been black and the alleged victim white – statistically far more likely – would the case have got this far?
Honestly, I think Al Sharpton would be organizing a march through the streets of Durham to get them out of jail.
The racial angle is worth mentioning but that does not change the fact that this woman was able to blatantly lie about being raped, drag three innocent kids through the mud, and then not only get away with no charges but also getting a book deal. The racial angle does not negate that the gender angle.
Frankly I’m still waiting for her get an exclusive interview on Oprah so that she pull a Mary Winkler and tell the horrible story of how those three animals raped her.
