Daily News: Mother Wants N.Y. Officials To Take Another Look At Racial Flashpoint

Will somebody refresh our memory on this case, I remember something about it, but can''t recall everything, lets have the details in short- thank-you !!

"six white law enforcement officials" - that number gives me pause...two or even three, maybe - but six rotten apples?

Even assuming there were six, then between them they''d have had at least one brain sufficiently cunning to realize that a living victim represented a significant problem.

This young lady was 15 at the time. She was not a stripper and clearly is not at all comparable to the woman involved in the Duke case.

I cannot understand all of the comments on this section - so racially motivated. Someone said that "Blacks hate Whites" - well - that is a big generalization.

Yes - there are racists from every diverse group of people on this earth - but NEVER include ALL in any statement. This demonstrates your lack of objectivity and your own prejudices.

If you want anyone to take you seriously with any form of respect - demonstrate some intelligence and objectivity...

With mentalities as demonstrated on this comment section - peace in the world has no chance. I just hope that your type of thinking is becoming extinct in all racial, religious, and other group of people that have something in common. This would be our only hope for true harmony in our world.

I cannot believe the horrible comments on this story.

Speaking of racist - the majority of you are clearly racists as it is clear that many do get away with these things. 20 years or not - clearly the family feels they did not get justice.

I don''t think they would bring this back up if there were not something to the story. It is clear today there are many of these instances still occurring (look at the poor woman in W. Va.)

I am also not a fan of Sharpton - but I do believe he believes in his causes and am sure he does not take on every case he is presented. Without someone like him - there are many wrongs to blacks that would never be righted and would continue with no end in sight to these human rights violations.

I am caucasian for the record...

alanrobisch2 -- how does al get away without paying?

[nyckate]

they have got to be effing kidding us, right??

One poor falsely accused ended up committing suicide cause his career was ended his life was ruined by this family sharpton and the rest of the thugs.

The ONLY good thing to come out of this is to remind US who and what Sharpton is.

These people are nuts!!! Unless there is evidence such as DNA, there is no way this case should be opened again. This ho is no better than the stripper/w.h.o.r.e who falsly accused the Duke boys. both of these idiots should have been impisoned for false accusations.

If Sharpton is involved he is behind the scenes hoping to clear his name. He is also too being being a black racist against white Imus.

It is time for the justice system to start prevailing on the side of whites who are victimized by blacks due to black racism. blacks hate whites.

Send this girl home. Let''s hope the accused turn around and sue her again!!!

[alanrobisch]

Sharpton is too smart to get involved in this again.

Wanna bet?

Good question? He is a person who searches for things to keep his name in the public eye and why the family has reopened this maybe they think there is money in it who knows. He has never paid the money that he was found to owe the policeman. Maybe if he could prove he was right he would help himself?

[richintx]

When are the black folks going to stop all this racism against whites ?

[keithle1]

That expression on Rev Al''s face is his patented expression of outrage.

Why would you bring this up 20 years later? Brawley
had to pay $185,000 & Sharpton $65,000. Can''t imagine Sharpton wanting to get involved again. I wonder if Moms asked Tawana first.

Rape is one thing. "Smearing her with feces" is a little over the top.
