This about sums it up. I wouldn't rally around someone that I didn't believe either.

As to the banning from graduation, my question is is there a policy and/or a precedent. If it is Harvard's general policy to prevent students who are facing criminal allegations from graduating, then there is not much that she can really do about it.

I think these comments from Black Planet, raw as they may be, get to the heart of the matter:

"Stereotypical good girl trying to ____ with a bad boy, now she want some support."

" 'The honest answer to that is that I'm Black and I'm poor and I'm from New York and I walk a certain way and I keep my clothes a certain way. . . . It’s something that labels me as different from everyone else.' Yeah, you different, _____! While everyone else is there trying to get and or complete an education, your hood rat azz is up there frontin and trying to be hard."
