Duke’s goal in interviews isn’t to explain himself. It’s to manipulate the record.
. She’s not sure why he stayed on the phone that long. She thinks that Duke may have thought she was white and that she’d pass on his talking points to her parents.
Burnett’s parents weren’t Duke supporters. They did believe in good manners, though, and they asked their daughter to write Duke a thank-you note.
