How do we measure, value, assess, and document the energy of spirit, body, and intellect expended by those who endure the problems caused by cultures of both masculine and white racial disrespect? In its forms of verbal violence as well as physical, in its presumption that there are some bodies available for taunt and tirade, whim and whisper, the "event" is phased back into the subaltern spaces of university life and culture. Their sporting behaviors, on and off the courts, endure.

Did it violate Duke Policy?
Duke bans strippers from campus — again Sept 21, 2006
- A policy banning strippers from on-campus events is back in the rule book at Duke University, after allegations that members of the school's lacrosse team raped an exotic dancer led officials to notice it had been inadvertently removed.
The policy governs only on-campus events and wouldn't have applied to the March off-campus lacrosse team party where an exotic dancer has said she was sexually assaulted by three men in a bathroom.
The rule — "strippers may not be invited or paid to perform at events sponsored by individual students, residential living groups, or cohesive units" — had been a part of Duke's Bulletin of Information and Regulations long before the lacrosse case surfaced, said Stephen Bryan, the school's associate dean of students and judicial affairs director. MSNBC
Who sponsored it?
At least, it was willing on Sunday night, when a variety of university organizations paid for a performance of the Sex Workers Art Show at the campus’ Reynolds Theater. The show was sponsored by the following official university departments, centers and student organizations: the Duke Women’s Center, the Duke Student Health Center, the Healthy Devils, the Program for the Study of Sexualities, the Campus Council, the Women’s Studies Department, the University and Cultural Fund, Students for Choice, Students for Choice and the Sexual Assault Support Services. The Art Show received a total of $3,500 and high-level official sanctioning from the university, according to Kenneth Larrey, president of the Duke Students for an Ethical Duke, Jay Schalin of the John Williams Pope Center
Who knew about it in the Administration?
According to Larrey, Duke president Richard Brodhead “appeared to act as if he didn’t want to know” when Larrey tried to bring up the apparent contradiction between the school’s action’s and the regulations against the hiring of strippers. Larrey said provost Peter Lange spoke to him several days before the show and said that the organizers went through the correct processes for the Sex Workers to appear on campus, and that it would be “censorious” to rescind the school’s permission at that point. He also said that there was a big difference between the Sex Workers Art Show and the hiring of strippers by the Duke lacrosse team in 2006. Larrey did not say whether the provost specified what that difference was.
Larrey also contacted the campus police on the day of the event to check on whether the policy would be enforced. He was informed that the show was sanctioned by the college. Jay Schalin of the John Williams Pope Center

How soon will confidence be restored to our university as a place where minds, souls, and bodies can feel safe from agents, perpetrators, and abettors of white privilege, irresponsibility, debauchery and violence? "

A dominatrix donned a large, “strap-on” male sex organ, and whipped a dog collared kneeling young man(slave) on a leash to the cheers of the audience.

Can someone please explain to me why a Methodist University would sponsor such perversion?
So this is representative of Duke;
All alums and supporters must be so very proud. Feel sure all future applicants and possible donors will carefully consider the lurid trash that Duke has attempted to call 'free speech'/art.
WHAT WAS DUKE THINKING?
The Women's Studies department helped pay for this? Performance art simulating rape? After supporting the false prosecution of innocent students?
How can they support the "sex workers" with one hand while condemning sex work as abuse with the other?
Do these people even pretend to be sane?
the corrupt want to make it seem as if this is all acceptable and okay. it is intentional and deliberate to desensitize the masses and divert attention from crimes being done by officials. durham is showing the world its views on sex, violence, corruption, drugs, and every manner of vice and deviant act proves it. wake up people it is much worse than this. sodom and gomorroh looks like disneyland compared to this pisspot.
there are crimes and an undreground in durham that people MUST speak up about, and not fear being killed for telling what is really going on. it is all organized and global. it runs alot more than just durham, and reporters just need to do some digging into the people behind the curtain. pandoras box is a simple trinket box compared to what lies at the bottom of durhams bloody coffins. it goes from the top of our government. google things for yourselves and you will be amazed and horrified and what is gone to great lenghts to hide. let me add that i would never let anybody i know be cremated. start there, ask questions, and you will find it
even horror movies cant compare, seek and ye shall find
dont expect local media to do anything more than pander more deception. to any student or real journalist wants to find out just what is going on in durham and around the world, all you have to do to start is google durham and trafficking. that is a good start. you are pecking when you should be digging
What an embarassment for Duke University. When will the BOT act and remove Brodhead? He and Provost Lange knew about this prior to the event and knew it violated Duke Policy. Duke has become a laughing stock symbolizing a runaway a Faculty who live in a strange world of hypocrisy and do whatever they want thumbing their noses at our culture. To them they have done nothing wrong, they don't get it. They should be shown the door along with Steele & Burness.
IMO, the farm animals performing these lewd acts are due a(nother) rude email from Houston Baker, or at the very least a LISTENING AD from those crazy 88s.
We are waiting .......
they are sending in the troops to cover and destroy anything they can. the shredders are working overtime. very high ranking secrets to cover for. the chickens know and dont want the world to know the depths of corruption they have gone to. we have more to fear from our own government than we do any arab in the desert.
OK ...please enlighten me --
the top pic on LS website TRULY is NOT a woman's body --- is Duke's porno show a he/she kind of exhibition that should be taken as a joke?
none of it is a joke, ironic yes.
A degree from Duke today means not better than credits from a bad porno flick. Duke has finally trashed itself beyond repair. It is perverse in its corruption, racism, and sexism. If students are spending their money and wasting their time at an institution that publically stands for this trash...than what has that student learned from the trash professors....except trash. I would never hire a Duke graduate. Save your futures now and transfer out as soon as possible. Things are going to get worse once all the evidence comes out in the civil trial about the active role Duke played in the persecution of innocent students they knew were innocent.
Yes, the administration acted callously in the midst of the lacrosse case. But I don't see how people are equating the university's decision to allow this show to go on with a criminal rape case. For all we know, there could be some educational value in it. I don't know. Prude people wouldn't acknowledge it either if there were any value to the show. In any case, I'm not offended by it but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it either. People forget that this is still a free country. If you don't want to see it for whatever reason, then don't go.
Prude, free speech, art? This is PORNOGRAPHY! What used to be ethics has sadly, tragicly, and deliberately been trapmled upon.
This all looks like an attempt to "white-wash" the masses by saying it is "art" and of value?
Durham is showing the world to be a soutern fried version of Sodom and Gommoroh, and can only ponder as to what else is "OK" and just peachy keen in the bull city.

Academia at Duke has not gone to the dogs but to the hookers.
the entire power structure exists on money made black market, and the numerous companies and goverment people who watch this site knows it to. they are watching to see what we know and who is going to come out and tell what the hell is really going on.
Read these with a warning they are not pornographic, but more visual to see for yourself and all you people watching to do something!

durham is just a pitstop in the chain
What is the big shock here? The families have every right to sue the city for negligence of an entire political system that failed miserably! This is by far NOT the biggest case to be media worthy, but one that has brought to the light of day a sample of what people in power do every single day and nobody even knows or cares!
Well, I am here to tell the WORLD and every entity watching, that As God is my witness I will not go to my grave without speaking out about the same system that has not only covered over my beloved brother's murder, but have mocked us, threatened us, and continue to deny us the right to know not just how my brother died, but everything that was done and NOT done!
I have contacted EVERY person their is imaginable, excluding the President, and still have been denied not just documents, but the right of a family to know how their loved one met their death, and to know what was done, and not done to his body!
We have been lied to and threatened by the Durham Sheriff's Department, have been shuffled through 3 years and 3 District Attorneys, countless complaints filed to numerous governmental agencies, even our own Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and STILL NOTHING!
We have sent our documents that we have been able to glean from the system to Mr Ekstrand, but due to his obligation to the LAX team is unable to represent us but would if he could! I have sent him, the FBI, and several others copies of the BLUE blood coming from an entrance wound, none from 2 exits wounds, a inconclusive and actually negative GSR screen, proof of fraud and collaborative deception, and have been to hell and back in this maddening chase to expose this city and system for allowing crimes against humanity to go unannounced, while innocent people suffer from the hands of the very powers who took oaths before God and man to protect and serve!
So, here my family and I are coming forward to beg the media to help us to solve my brother's death, and expose a system of debauchery and evils that not only baffle the mind, but leaves you breathless and speechless! I have tried and done all that I can alone, and now have 2 months before the state can be held liable for not just one mans death, but expose a system that feeds off the helpless, then leaves them for dead!
So, in closing I will say the purpose of this letter now on this thread is to also gain attention to the enumerable failures within the system, to right a countless injustice done to a plethora of lives that have been left completely devastated, and to make our government be held responsible and accountable for FAILING us the citizens, and the dead who have no voice but scream beyond their graves! The truth is worse than a nightmare because it is REAL and more HORRIFIC than you could ever have imagined!
Never could I have guessed such wickedness by not just individuals, but extremely organized and calculated, and failed by the very country and leaders we so blindly put our hopes and faith into! My heart bleeds for the truth, and mourns those who have been so wickedly tortured! My brother and countless others did NOT die in vain, and I will be damned if I will let fear keep me from Justice For Jack, but JUSTICE For ALL!

Imagine instead, your child or loved one MURDERED, and not only does it take Law Enforcement over a YEAR to send ONE single report, they LIE to you from the beginning, and not only REFUSE to do any investigating, but fail to adhere to ANY role of conduct and protocol, then threaten you and LAUGH at you?!
Yes, I have the utmost sympathy for the team, but let us not forget just how many OTHER cases have been corrupted by the exact same system! WHAT has been done to answer and solve the murders of my brother, Janet Araboa, and Michelle Young?! What voices have they now they are dead?!
Where is the outrage, and public and media attention for our families?! Nifong is by far the only knave on the long list of miscreant marauders who care nothing about rights of citizens, and care only for what is in "their" best interest! Wake up people and ask why the Department of Justice has not intervened, and why do our nations leaders just watch and do nothing about an abjectly corrupt and politically ran city?!
I never would have imagined what I now know, and am sick that nobody has taken our pleas, and heard our cries! Our loved ones not just dead, but murdered, and we will never see them hear them, or feel their touch ever again! Unfair?! Unjust?! Impossible?! The cesspool of corruption flows deep into a murky quagmire of wickedness that should expose our own government for allowing it to continue!
True and REAL crimes against humanity ranging from organized crime and drugs, to kidnapping, slavery, prostitution, and murders for global sale of body parts! Google human trafficking in organs, and learn exactly what is going on behind closed doors "the powers that be" never want to see opened! The reality is not only horrific and unimaginable, it IS happening every single day across the world, and Durham is just one of the many links in this chain of the grisly, dark underworld!
I have fought for nearly 3 years to restore my beloved best friend's respect, and JUSTICE he, and all of the others desperately deserve, and will never quit until something is done and things are changed! NOBODY deserves what mine and countless other families have endured, and for us I am begging the people and media to make a difference and care about all of the other serious matters that have fallen to the wayside for needless years!
