My daughter’s take on Duke, Durham and the reaction to the lacrosse-team rape allegations:
Finnerty and Seligmann will only be truly forgiven in Durham if they hop into the white guilt drum circle for aggressive self-flagellation with the rest of the city. They’ll be asked not to sue anyone and to, instead, join in the healing process, which consists of talking ad nauseum about the “larger truths” their non-crime revealed — none of which, by the way, will have anything to do with the fact that Durham is a little race-obsessed P.C. haven where the white and privileged and innocent were sold out instantly just for the community feelgood effect.
Growing up in Durham gives you great insights.
