Duke has a very diverse student body from all over the world. In fact, there are very few students from North Carolina attending Duke.

It is one of the top institutions in the world, not just the U.S.

I'm curious as to why you think a noose on Duke's campus would not be shocking...

I will wait...

LOL






Overview
In the ranks of NCAA college basketball, Duke University is like something scraped off the bottom of a shoe. It’s like a nasty virus you catch from a door handle at a public toilet.

No team in sports is as uniquely hated as those smug, entitled, floor-slapping, fist-pumping, insufferable Blue Devils. The loathing has almost reached the level of a religion. Christian Laettner is a punk. Amen. The Cameron Crazies are obnoxious. The Plumlees are worthless times three. Coach K is a jerk. Kumbaya.

The team is dogged by an intense hatred that no other team can match—and for good reason. Millions of hoops fans and March Madness aficionados around the world are not imagining things. Duke really is evil, and within the pages of Duke Sucks, Reed Tucker and Andy Bagwell show readers exactly why Duke deserves to be so detested. They bruise and batter the Blue Devils with fact after fact, story after story, statistic after statistic. They build an airtight case that could stand up in a court of law.

So sit back in your "I Hate Duke" t-shirt, and in true Duke fashion, force someone poorer than you to do your work as you crack open the ultimate guide to Duke suckitude.

I wish I could tell you. I don't understand how these people feel so emboldened. We need to stand up and get those in our communities to stand with us and push these awful people back. Sometimes I think they are trying to start a second Civil War by trying to force the President to take federal action.

This is awful.

So have the judges and police - it is frightening that it is all driven by hatred for the President who has destroyed the stereotype of the African-American male that was so nurtured for over 400 years.

to the threats their paranoia and bigotry have created.

Some of the stuff on hate radio is pretty bad.

It is a symbol of lynching for rational folks

That post is disgusting.

Is far from meaningless. The symbolism of it is clear, racist and impossible to miss. You are incorrect.

Or anywhere for that matter? Wow, that is a genius perspective.

drunkenness does not excuse it. Nor would it excuse the insensitivity of your reply.

I await awe-filled and with bated breath.

Without those facts there are only guesses at this time.

Major !!

Reality means all other possibilities have been eliminated. No one ideology has a monopoly on all the wrong.

how profound.....

We're waiting...

oh wise one....... on second thought so I can at least say I tried...the atlantic.com..nov 9 2012..where america's racist tweets come from.....hatewatch...SPLCenter.org...will give you an idea, I hope.

So Coach (R) basically has a free pass to the title game. ;banghead:

Sick people

This wasn't something that could be misinterpreted. That was put there to send a message.

Last weekend, reports emerged of degrading racist comments being directed in public toward a Duke student. A poster on the anonymous social media app Yik Yak alleged that drunken white male students had chanted a racist song at a black female Duke student. The song, which included degrading racial slurs, alluded to lynching. Earlier in the month, a video had emerged showing University of Oklahoma fraternity members singing the same derogatory song.

thanks to the racist Supremes

I guess it's a huge step forward that they don't usually organize anymore, and that these lonely haters slink away even before they can be confronted.

Religious bullshit, the noose showed up.

Thats the type of person that would support anti-gay laws as well.

I guess the reich wing ain't taking their smackdown by 95% of America very well, eh?

They've been told over and over, by insane men like Glen Beck that he will not finish his term/declare himself dictator/round up all the tea baggers-ammo/plans on turning America over to the Muslims, Chinese, take your pick/is STILL scandal free despite billions of dollars wasted by GOP Congress.

None of those are true except the last one and it is causing huge amounts of FREEDUMB to pump through their Made in the USA veins!

When this happens, the average moran starts to short out most of his neural network with nonstop Foxnews and Alex Jones. They begin to forget to hide their true selves in public. Carry an assault rifle with them to the bathroom. Check and recheck the shelves in the bomb shelter and then run back upstairs to see if Foxnews announced the start of the race war yet. They have Alex Jones on shortwave radio.

but will take far more time than I have... and it would fill pages upon pages, upon pages.

For a short summary The New Jim Crow.

People need to read that for starters and wake up from this "post racial" nonsense.

And I did not want to do that to your post!

Welcome back.

I got a paper to run and believe it or not, that takes a LOOOTTTT of time.

But we are covering these issues in depth... so we are not ignoring them.

And many follow your articles.

From time to time -don't stay away for so long

in america for the last 250 years. Intimidation and summary executions, of POC, by citizens of a certain privileged class and authorities 'protecting' that class.

There's nothing to see here. We elected an African American as President twice, which means racism can't exist anymore.

Yeah right!!!

Gasp, you mean the people on DU who argue that it can be considered racism only if the perpetrator confessed to it in writing and legally changed his name to Adolf Hitler, and that we otherwise shouldn't assume it might have been racism, are wrong? You mean to tell me when African Americans feel threatened and discriminated against because of their race, they aren't just imagining things?

and we aren't imagining things.
