It blows my mind that with how easy it is to score some ass on todays college campuses,even for nerds,...guys still resort to rape.

From what I understand about studies on rape it is less about getting ass and more about the power. dook is this bastion of higher education surrounded by some sketchy areas ... depending on how this unfolds (i.e. if and how many of these white players go to jail) this could turn into a sticky situation as the black leaders of Durham will not stand for an O.J. like trial and verdict.

please don't turn your college rivalry thinking into a judgment of the personalities of duke students.

i hate to be backking up liga, but how is he judging duke students? calling duke a "bastion of higher education surrounded by poorer areas" is the truth as is the rape is power, not sex.

i don't know it sounds like an implication that duke students have no awareness of the community around them and that everyone that goes there is up in a high ivory tower unconcerned with the rest of the world. maybe i misinterpreted.

I'm not really sure how far off from the truth that is, if at all.

Yeah, in my experience growing up in the Triangle area, it's definitely accurate for a large percentage of Duke students.

I can see something like this happening at my old high school, which sent a lot of kids to UNC / Duke.
