Protest over Black Men Accused of Rape

A few years ago an incoming Duke basketball freshman got accused of rape in another city. No daily protests erupted demanding his arrest and proclaiming the 100% certainty of his accuser's claim. As it happened, he didn't get arrested.

The guys accused in this incident were also drinking underage. No press accounts attached this conduct to a larger phenomenon of young black men behaving callowly. The accuser quietly backed away, as did the DA. Things might have been different if the DA had instead backed himself and the accuser into a corner with a public proclaimation.
