While Imus apologized to the Lady Scarlet Knights, they forgave him and are not holding any animosity towards him. These ladies truly showed a measure of class that all Americans can learn from while three members of various urban civil rights groups haven’t.

The Duke 3 received an apology from the state’s DA, a back handed apology from Nifong and NO apology from Magnuson, Sharpton, Jackson, Shabazz, and 88 members of the Duke faculty that signed a public letter of condemnation published in the school newspaper. In fairness, 6 faculty members apologized last year before the case was dropped this year.

Here the media did not give the press time to the Duke 3 and yet they were willing to convict them before they went to trial, hung on to every word spoken by racial demagogues treating these three gentlemen as villains because of “white privilege” and their athletic endeavors.

If the Duke 3 had occurred 50 years ago with the races reversed, there would have been an outrage from the NAACP, SCLC, and SNCC condemning a false accusation against these urban athletes from a suburban woman with America calling this behavior for what it is: Racism-Jim Crow style!

Justice has a strange way of coming about and sooner or later all wrongs will be made right and hopefully the following happens:

1) Imus finds himself working for one of the Lady Scarlet Knights.

2) Sharpton, Jackson, and Shabazz apologize for their racism and people of all ethnic groups begin to see their true nature. (Sorry-Don’t see that happening anytime soon in anyone’s earthly lifetime)

3) People not forget the racial slurs/demagoguery of: “Hymietown”, race based accusations of an assistant DA, “white interlopers and Greek homos”, and calling an Asian journalist a prostitute for her defense of the Duke 3, and refusing to condemn the racist remarks from his Nation of Islam supporters directed at Jews and other ethnic groups that don’t agree with them.

4) The Duke 3 are awarded lots of money in civil damages from Nifong, the city of Raleigh, Magnuson, Duke University, and anyone connected with that nightmare. With that money they create an innocence project providing legal support for anyone who is the victim of reverse racial/sexual discrimination. I suggest they call it “I am a Man”

Flash point: Who elected these self proclaimed urban rights leaders and are they able or willing to be held to the same standards that they lay on others? If recent history is any indication, then the answer becomes painfully obvious.
