If she was white her picture would be plastered on every newspaper in the country for weeks. And Anderson Cooper would be camped out in front of the campus.

Yes, you have seen such reporting (on J. Jones). But you deny that that reporting is accurate.

So what is the answer to the question that everyone wants to know? Is the student who left the noose white or black? Judging by the extraordinary lengths the liberals are going to to protect her identity, I have to assume she is black. And it wouldn’t be a first. Just google “Madonna Constantine”.

The ethnicity of the perp remains to be seen, but I think since there is really no history of African Americans lynching anyone, the assumed intent might be different.

Well, let’s not jump to conclusions, but noose hoaxes are not at all uncommon. Just google. Fact is, black students gain leverage for various ‘demands’ when these things happen, whether staged or not. BTW the current rumor is that the perp is a ‘minority’ but not black. Of course, whites are an underrepresented minority at UCSD, so maybe its a white girl after all

True, most, but not all, lynchings were perpetrated by whites. But it is also true that there have been instances of noose involved hoaxes perpetrated by African-Americans. I think it disappointing that supposedly educated people would jump to conclusions before getting all the facts–just as I am disappointed that supposedly educated people would participate in a function that is so denigrating and mean spirited as the Compton Cookout (or whatever it was called).

The ethnicity of the perp remains to be seen, but I think since there is really no history of African Americans lynching anyone, the assumed intent might be different. The judge and jury then would make the determination of guilt/not guilty based on the facts of the case and apply the appropriate sentence.

What do you think should happen to the perpetrator if she is African-American?
