Time to shutter Duke University
- Thread starter Casey and his Brother
- Start date
When I heard the "claim" against BYU, my first reaction was it could be another "woke" false claim and I was right. Unfortunately some are looking for racism everywhere when it's not there. Be nice if the SC coach would issue an apology and keep BYU series, but I have a feeling she was looking for a reason to cancel since we all know BYU is a white blond haired blue eyed school that is racist.

What a shame its always racist though it isn’t.
BYU investigation contradicts racial accusations by Duke volleyball player
An investigation by Brigham Young University into allegations that fans engaged in racial heckling and uttered racial slurs at a Duke volleyball player last month found no evidence to support the c…

If it is true that the Duke athlete lied about the slurs, just like when some women falsely claim sexual assault, it makes it harder for the real victims to be heard.
Agree. I just hope SC and Duke would issue an apology to BYU.
Haha, I’m referring to the Duke lacrosse team doc that is titled Fantastic Lies. I believe it’s a 30 for 30 film
Yeah that’s not going to happen. Color me shocked that an internal investigation didn’t find anything. I bet they looked real hard too…
LDS isn’t exactly known for being the most “inclusive” organization, shall we say.
BYU interviewed over 50 people in attendance and went over video and cell phones and found no evidence. They also said that their report is not the end all and any person or media organization is free to submit evidence.
The accuser stated that it was multiple times. I think they said throughout the contest. I am certain that Duke filmed the matches and parents had cell phone videos so if what she said happened this should be easy.
Sometimes the story sounds so perfect for the narrative that we want it to be true. Just like a guy worth millions could get jumped at 2 am by the only two Trump voters in Chicago on the coldest night of the year. Oh and beat them off and STILL have his sandwich. Thank god the local media called BS on that one.
Some might say it’s homophobic that you said Jussie Smollet beat off his attackers.

90% of these “racist” incidents turn out to be made up BS. But guilt ridden white libs fall all over themselves hoping the situation turns out to be true that they won’t even wait for the facts.

The post stating that LDS people aren't inclusive sounds very racist to me.
i had heard about the extensive review of audio which one would think would have identified this activity.Attached is an article that said both sides interviewed

Seems like they did right. I just rarely trust internal investigations when they find absolutely nothing wrong.
Why would the Duke player just make something like this up? Too bad if true, and she should be dismissed from the team (again, if true).
Agree but hate to say it but some look to be offended. If it was true I’d support SC decision but what is disappointing is they made their decision based on a second hand account
You pulled that 90% number right out of your butt. Didn’t you? That is racist and insensitive to say that.
What should have tipped this off from the start is no one else on the Duke team stepped forward to say, Yeah, I heard that too. If it happened multiple times then after the first time the girl would have said something and others would have been listening for it, too. Even if she did not mention it, is her hearing that much better than all her teammates?
They also pulled all broadcast audio from the recording so all you heard was the gym. She also claimed it happened every serve. So there should multiple recordings.
But that doesn’t matter if you can a shot in on your political enemies.
She should be expelled from a Duke university. Society has no room for a person like this.
Joetboiker yard sign needs to be updated. He’s already he’s to cross out Duke lacrosse, Jussie Smollett, NASCAR garage noose and now BYU volleyball.Attached is an article that said both sides interviewed

You guys start a thread about a girl that may have lied about someone yelling a racist slur. The evidence is surely leading that way. Then there are several condemning comments about this topic. However, when I bring up several instances of real and verifiable racism, this board is so quiet that you can hear a mouse piss on cotton. Then sometimes there are several folks on here that defend or deny that it is happening. Why is that?
I think most on this board condemns racism when it exists. The problem is too many of these events are created trying to say racism is rampant. I would never claim to know what you have experienced but at the same time there’s a racism hustle business being perpetrated by the Al Sharpies and BLM’s of the world
Why are Democrats quiet when people bring up real and verifiably racist things that Biden has said? Democrats had no issue voting for a racist. Why is that? Party over hate?
I beg to differ. I don’t know how long you been a member of this forum but other than me, who else has ever started a thread on any racial instances? However, the 3 or so times there have been false claims of racism threads like this one is started.
Thanks to racists Lee Atwater and others like him, racism after the 60s became more subtle. He trained the racist Dixiecrats that they can’t say the n-word and use code words. Instead of Chump and his dad outright telling blacks that they can’t live in their rented properties. They would put the letter “C” on the black applications. Still today, blacks selling their homes are getting grossly undervalued appraisals compared to their white counterparts in the exact same neighborhoods. As a white person, you and others most likely don’t hear, let alone talk about these things amongst your circles. Then there are the voting suppression laws in red states. It is plain as day to blacks what is going on. There are still racism when it comes to bank loans. Police brutality is still an issue. You have “Karens” running around calling police on blacks minding their own business. Why would you want to call the police on a 9 year old black girl and mom selling water in the sidewalk to raise money for Disneyworld?
To white folks, racism may not be appear to be rampant. Ask people of color and they will say otherwise because they see or hear about it daily.
What voting suppression laws are you referring to? Voter ID which a majority of blacks support?

For you to label Bone as racist because you doubt his "facts" seems to be a racist act on your part
You guys don’t understand. Voter ID requirement in of itself is not the issue. It is the timing of when the voter ID laws started to come into play. The repub strategists in 2009 saw that a lot of blacks obviously voted for Obama. They also realized that a lot these blacks voted in the major cities did not have IDs for various reasons. By 2016 the first wave of voter ID laws took in effect in hopes to slow down black turnout. Can’t say if it worked or not, but that was clearly the intent. Since then the the red states clearly targeted black voters by removing Sunday voting. Blacks enjoyed this for decades. They even called it “Souls To the Polls”.
When this topic comes up you guys seem to harp on voter ID. In my opinion, I don’t that is so much of an issue anymore. What is more of an issue as far as voter suppression laws, particularly after the 2020 election is that the red states removed drop boxes from urban areas. Added drop boxes to the rural areas. Continue to remove Sunday voting. Curtailed absentee voting. Curtailed early voting etc. All these are voting methods that blacks and democrats enjoyed for years.
Time for blacks and Democrats to adjust. Get off your asses and be useful for a change.
this coming from a 50 year old black man who admits he’s never experienced racism.
I never said that I never experienced racism. I said that I was blessed that nothing held me back from getting into Purdue and the good jobs I’ve had. I’ve come across racist “Karens” from time to time. Also, speaking of Purdue I remember a couple a racist crap happening. Someone wrote some racial slurs on the black fraternity house, Alpha Phi Alpha that was on Waldron St at the time. Also, a cross was burned on the front yard of the Black Cultural Center. So the 1%-2% of the blacks that went to Purdue at the time aren’t allowed to comment on that? According to your logic.
Why not? Maybe the poll workers don't want to have to work on a Sunday and would rather go to church instead?
Wrong. You said you've never experienced racism. Don't back peddle.
But, you hear about by race hustlers on urban radio or liars like Jussie Smollet and you assume it's rampant nationwide.
Couple years ago, I was on an elevator alone in Atlanta at about 6 AM when a black homeless guy got on. He looked very sketchy and I decided if this guy is crazy, I don't want to be locked in a box with him. So, I pushed the button to open the door and got off.
Was that racist of me?
It's a really bad look claiming blacks can't figure out how to comply with ID laws. Whatever those 'various' reasons might be.
And, they're "enhanced voter integrity" laws, not voter suppression laws. If voting is important, you'll figure out how to comply with the law.
Again, another ridiculous response from you when you don't have a real answer. Poll workers don't get to make voting laws. The bottom line is there is no fraud or problems voting on Sundays. Removing voting on Sundays is clearly an attempt to curtail blacks from voting on Sundays. You keep responding to this issue by saying "don't church busses run on Saturdays?". When they removed Sunday voting, they did not change it to Saturdays. In GA, when they enacted their own voter suppression laws after the 2020 election, they tried to remove Sunday voting. However, they got so much pushback about it that they did not put it in the final bill.
