A.J. Donaldson, "Columnist"
People pay Paula Zahn? Money?
***
From tonight's joke:
ZAHN: A.J., is it -- do many of the blacks you talk to feel like they were used by Mike Nifong, and that he played the race card to be reelected as a district attorney?
A.J. DONALDSON, COLUMNIST, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY NEWSPAPER: Well, first, I -- I would like to say that the younger people, of course, are militant, but not militant in a sense that they don't have any sense with their argument.
For instance, they want it to go through. They want to see the process. And, when a student says "for the things that are done in the past," they're only talking about the examples. For instance, I see our piece last night.
You saw Zikaila (ph) and Alexis (ph) from Milwaukee (AUDIO GAP) inequalities in the media are portrayed. They are not saying that we want these men convicted. However, they are saying, we want to see a fair and -- and fair and speedy trial, the way anyone should be treated.

ZAHN: But -- but aren't those ... racial stereotypes that are prevalent in society as a whole?
A.J. DONALDSON, COLUMNIST, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY NEWSPAPER: Well, I would say the media propaganda-ed the issue, but reality pervaded it into the American streets and into North Carolina Central University and other black communities.
You see reality when you feel as though Duke University is a privileged university, but, at the same time, North Carolina Central University is being portrayed as the less fortunate university in the media.
And, then, in some cases, and amongst people, you know, echoing from ear to ear, saying that, you know, North Carolina Central University, less fortunate.
No, we're not less fortunate. We may have less fortune. And that's what's being pervaded in not only the media, but in the consciousness of the people that walk around the Durham community and the people that see it from a distance. They don't understand.

You're so right.

NDLax,
Thank you for raising the subject. Black people can read and come to their own conclusions. We all have the same emotions and sometimes it's not pretty and sometimes our actions aren't based on honorable motives.
To believe Nifong fooled all the African-Americans though two elections and two rounds of DNA testing - you have to believe that the Durham black community is unaware that politicians don't always tell the truth, especially during election campaigns; you have to believe they can't weigh some obvious facts, like widely varying stories by the accuser adds up to Bullsh!ter accuser; you have to believe that the African-Americans quoted in multiple papers saying they wanted to see them convicted - even if it did NOT happen - were lying;
you have to believe they would support the same type of heavy-handed prosecution against young black students accused by a white woman that happens to be an ex-con; and you'd have to believe that they would've voted, at over 90% support, for Nifong if he TOLD, them that black men, with pictures and electronic records of them being elsewhere at the time of the attack, were guilty.
People that have spent a week in the real world know that Nifong couldn't sell an African-American family a car - if they didn't want to buy it.

Hmm,
Let's see:
Duke Endowement, $2.8 Billion.
NCCU edowement, $50 Million.
Yeah at Central this be the new math:
$2,800,000,000=$50,000,000.
No wonder they have honor students like Cyrstal.
Kemp
This kid was a very poor representative of the quality of "education" offered at NCCU.
WTF, you're a newspaper writer? Learn how to speak a coherent sentence.
It's true that many black people can read and come to their own conclusions. What completely baffles me is that so few black people really grasp the concept that we all have different DNA. Like when the OJ jury was told that the odds that the donor of the blood on the gate at Nicole's could belong to only one in 10 BILLION, and it DID match OJ's DNA. Didn't phase them at all. Later, in various interviews, I heard some of them talking about "reasonable doubt" because Cochran told them "If da gluv dawn't fit, you muss acquit." ONE in ten BILLION they don't get, but a dried and withered blood soaked leather glove not fitting so well is enough to say NOT guilty. Incredible.
ONE in ten BILLION they don't get, but a dried and withered blood soaked leather glove not fitting so well is enough to say NOT guilty. Incredible.
Here's an idea...
If you ever want to commit murder, just wear gloves that are too small, then leave them at the scene.
Oh yeah...then get a black jury.
