COUNTERING CONSPIRACY TO DISRUPT JUSTICE IN DURHAM - Our Hearts World
Jan. 24, 2007 - COUNTERING CONSPIRACY TO DISRUPT JUSTICE IN DURHAM
How dare the NC Bar Association join the lynching mobs in Durham who have verbally lynched and sought to politically assassinate DA Mike Nifong for seeking to prosecute three white Duke students accused of raping a black NCCU student. And, if we are to refer to the lady as a “stripper”, allow me to refer to the men as perverted “stripper patrons”.
The conspiracy to disrupt justice in this Durham case should be obvious. It is unprecedented that the alleged criminals and/or their defense team will be given the luxury of such a high-media platform to repetitiously proclaim their “innocence” and attack their prosecutor.
I estimate over 50% of the black men packed inside the Durham County jail also profess to be “innocent”. The difference is, the media will never allow their cases to be tried in the court of public opinion. Neither will you see any form of outrage when the DA says “they did it”. Consequently we find more black men inside NC Central Prison, than NC Central University.
I stand to challenge the racist media and NC Bar Association who wrongfully used their influence to attack the integrity of a prosecutor at the rare time he prosecutes a case which profoundly has the potential to challenge racism, classism, and sexism simultaneously. Yes, we should demand justice in the courts. We should also remember Malcolm X’s point which says “black people can’t get justice in the courts , we have to demand justice in the streets .”
