I did not take it lightly AT ALL when I decided to post her photo and link to TSG.

I find it indecent that Mike Nifong is a corrup Democrat who saw it politically expedient to use Ms. Mangum as a pawn to garner black votes. I also find it indecent that many people in the left rushed to judgement w/o remembering the white guys Miranda Rights. The only post that I can remember as having some level of measure with this debate was this one by Jill. The disclaimer in the second paragraph ought to be copied and pasted by everyone ever wanting to post again anything about rape.

There is a level of responsibility we have as publishers and public figures. The lawyers for the Duke3 have hinted they're considering going after the most flagrant cases of defamation on the web. I smell lawsuits in the air. This post is about bringing to focus the injustices that have been perpetrated to not only Ms. Mangum but to the accused as well.

White people ought to NEVER EVER use colored victims like Ms. Mangum as a way to garner votes for their political careers or sympathy points for their causes. Especially if they are Democrats of feminists. I kept my mouth shut most of the time with this case because the information was so outrageously choppy. But I am not staying silent at the politically-correct bigotry and racism that corrupted this case.

Yes, I am going all RWOC on this one.

Last but not least : I have deleted defamatory or virulent comments on my site before because it is, after all, a private service I am providing to the public. If there is one safe place for this kind of discussion, it's a place like my site.
