Barber was black, I knew which 'side' he was on. When he said he would speak about silence, I knew he would not speak of the black community's silence towards the suffering of the white Duke players but the other way around. When he said he would speak about racial slurs, I knew he would not speak about Kim Roberts hurling them at the lacrosse players but the other way around. When he said he would speak about bad choices, I knew he would not speak about Kim's bad choice to strip in front of strangers or Crystal's bad choice to use a sex toy on herself for money but the bad choices of the Duke players for hiring strippers.<BR/><BR/>For God's sake - and I mean that literally - I sincerely wish Rev. Barber had proven me wrong. But he chose not to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
