Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong might be having second thoughts about his choice of using the accusations against certain members of the Duke Lacrosse team by Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum for his political advantage. Here is a quick synopsis of the facts as pieced together by yours truly;
First, on the night 0f March 13th, 2006, Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum was hired for her expertise in the nappy headed hoe department by members of the Duke University Men’s Lacrosse team. Personally I think it would have added a whole new twist to everything if it had been the Duke University Women’s Lacrosse team but I digress.
Second, on March 14th, Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum files a complaint with the police saying she was raped. Being the feminist that I am, I understand that no matter how nappy the hair or how big the hoe, NO MEANS NO!
Third, on March the 24th, investigators take DNA samples from 46 of the 47 lacrosse players. Being an avid fan of C.S.I., I know that we all have different DNA and if those nasty boys on the team were doing the nasty with Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum, there would be certain, let us say, bodily fluids containing those dirty boy’s DNA. Case closed, end of story. Not so fast my sexually obsessed comrades.
Third, April 10th, defense attorneys say DNA evidence fails to connect the lacrosse players to the alleged victim and her alleged rape. If the DNA don’t fit you must acquit, right? Nope, we shall press on, nothing will stop the doer of right and the fighter of wrong, district attorney Mista Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong.
A quick note; during all this time, stuff is going on behind the scenes. The Duke president suspended the lacrosse team from play, the lacrosse coach resigned and on April 15th, “The Rev. Jesse Jackson said his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition would pay the college tuition of a black woman (Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum) who alleged white members of the Duke University lacrosse team raped her”, this according to Fox news. The plot thickens.
Fourth, April 17th, the grand jury meets to hear Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong’s evidence. At this point, considering there really is no evidence to prove that these young men did anything wrong, but only the word of Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum and because of her continuing “evolving” story, wouldn’t you think a group of intelligent, perceptive, fair minded citizens would drop any sort of charges? Unless all these folks sit on their front porches in rockers, playing banjo’s and drinking moon shine (am I stereotyping southerners?), then they should have pulled an Atticus Finch and stood up for the falsely accused. For those of you not familiar with Atticus Finch, he was the attorney in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee. He was hired to defend a black man in the Deep South who was accused of raping a white woman in the 1940’s. It was later made into a movie staring Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. It is my favorite movie of all time and I give it two thumbs up and would make it three if I had another hand.
Fifth, April 18th, “Two Duke University lacrosse players were arrested early Tuesday on charges of rape, sexual offense and kidnapping, and the Durham prosecutor hopes to charge a third person in the case”, this according to Fox news. “ATTENTION: The lynch mob has assembled; all those falsely accused please report for hanging!”
So, from March 14th until April 18th, with a media circuses just adding to the mix, three totally innocent young men were facing years in prison. I say they are “innocent”, not “not guilty” because these are the words of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper. In a strong statement just short of saying Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong may have done something criminal, AG Cooper totally exonerated the three lacrosse players and called Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum a liar. Those aren’t his exact words but they are pretty close.
According to news reports, Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong pushed this investigation for one reason and one reason only; politics. What I have gleaned is that Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong was given advice to the effect that he needed to be elected to one more term as district attorney to get his full pension and benefits package. So, Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong decided his personal comfort in the twilight of his life was far more important than those of three spoiled white college boys. His constituents were mostly black and he figured if he could show his homies just how down he was in protecting the dignity of even the most nappy headed of hoes, they would all just vote for his lily white ass and keep the narcissistic, self centered, selfish and may I say felonious Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong in his position as district attorney. He should be gutted.
Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong isn’t alone in this. There are Duke Professors who signed petitions against these young men. There are black leaders who owe apologies for slandering these three men and there are students who in the name of political correctness protested against them too.
Last night as the Red Sox were losing, a friend posed the question that if Don Imus must apologize to the Rutgers girls basketball team for calling them names , shouldn’t the reverend Jesse Jackson have to apologize to the Duke players for what he did to them? What is worse, being called a name or having to live for a year with what those young men had to live with?
Those Duke Lacrosse players were being persecuted and prosecuted by a man with the power to take their lives, their very existence and put them into a living hell. We are all given one life to live and Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong was willing to destroy three lives so he could live his comfortably. I need to see moral outrage against this man. I need to see a system that will take a person like Mike “Busta Crime” Nifong and put him away for a long time. He was voted into an office and given a public trust that he violated and he did it knowingly, premeditatedly and for personal gain. This is tantamount to attempted first degree murder and should be prosecuted as such.
As for Crystal Gale “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” Mangum, her life is already a living hell.

As much as it kills, me, I must agree with the majority of this blog. I could do without the NHH references, but for the most part, you're correct. Further "down sides" of this travesty were that it cost the 3 families about six million dollars to defend against this psycho. Imagine if they didn't have the resources. And yes, while I don't recall (for you Regan fans) the good Reverends specific outcry, but he should absolutely retract his support of the DA.
