88 reasons to despise Duke more

They are the Duke 88. Or Nifong 88.
They are the leftists, feminists and fascists — professors all — who signed an ad in the student newspaper in April 2006 that condemned the culture of racism and sexism on the campus.
They also bemoaned "what happened to this young woman" in the politically motivated lacrosse case.
They have been conspicuously silent since the facts started to overtake the fabrications of sleazebag district attorney Mike Nifong.
Nifong has been disbarred now, and the university has reached an undisclosed financial settlement with the three former lacrosse players wrongly accused of raping a stripper.
But the Nifong 88 apparently remain convinced of their righteousness, of their higher truth, although they are as prejudiced as racists and sexists. They just have different targets.
The Nifong 88 have not tried to make amends with the three ex-players and their families.
Their thought process has been shown to be egregious. Yet they cling to their upside-down ideology, which goes something like this: Even if these three players are innocent, you certainly know that wealthy white men and their sons have been perpetrating all kinds of horrors against black strippers since the dawn of time.

The fact that Duke Faculty members were openly disparaging the Duke Lacrosse players against written school policies governing faculty/student conduct is telling.
