But I'm turned off by some of the racist comments of late. Facts matter, not race! The other comment that's particularly sickening is from the blogger pretending to by the accuser's "friend". A few bloggers insist that even the good guys are bad, i.e. Cooper, because they didn't do everything exactly right, or in exact agreement with the way the blogger wanted. <BR/><BR/>In sum, I'm moving on.

We all have been praising Roy Cooper, but his handling of her is sickening to me. She's not really insane to the point of not knowing right from wrong. These statements have been made so often that they are now accepted.<BR/>This woman is a fuck-up and in her past she has never had to answer for her crimes. How anyone can say that there is heavier prosecution of blacks is preposterous, especially in Durham. They run around committing crimes like flies.<BR/>Roy Cooper is going to need the black Democrat vote and he didn't want to get into prosecuting a black prostitute.

While in the bathroom with the boys (which boys we'll never know as she was too wasted to be able to identify anyone), she got a few extra dollars to suck on a few scrotums. She told me that the lacrosse players at one point had 2 scrota in her mouth. Crystal was dutifully sucking away when one of the players exploded (he had been masturbating while Crystal was sicking his testicles). I'm convinced that is why Dave Evans's jissum was on the tissue in the trash.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that there was no crime until Crystal decided to lie to avoid time in jail or the mental hospital. The sad thing is she's remorseful about lying. Surprisingly she's resentful at whomever she was sucking off did not admit that a black woman could give a privileged lacrosse player the best orgasm he's ever had.<BR/><BR/>All's well that ends well.<BR/><BR/>Crystal's FriendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-60139282364670210762007-06-23T23:47:00.000-04:002007-06-23T23:47:00.000-04:00"Mangum is just another person of color, disadvant..."Mangum is just another person of color, disadvantaged by laziness, a lack of impulse control and an unwillingness to defer gratification."<BR/><BR/>Just guessing, but I think she probably excells in impluse control, especially the impulse known as the gag reflex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-17166264368767849122007-06-23T23:35:00.000-04:002007-06-23T23:35:00.000-04:00Mangum is just another person of color, disadvanta...Mangum is just another person of color, disadvantaged by laziness, a lack of impulse control and an unwillingness to defer gratification.

We've seen what transpired as a result.<BR/>The thing that is of concern are the countless people who still support her claims and who also hold positions of responsibility in society. How insane are these people?<BR/>Scum like Mangum are so accustomed to having everything go their way just by playing the victim and turning tricks that it never occurred to her and Nifong that someone might turn on the lights inside the cesspool in Durham.<BR/>This case also shows how dumb the people at Duke are, also, and how out of touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-75135693524401820502007-06-23T22:56:00.000-04:002007-06-23T22:56:00.000-04:00Nifong's team was using the (Peanuts)Lucy Van Pelt...Nifong's team was using the (Peanuts)<BR/>Lucy Van Pelt defense, <BR/>which was when Lucy was telling <BR/>Linus that the "knotty pine" they<BR/>were looking at would one day <BR/>become a giant oak.

Neither is particularly interested in the facts.
