POLICE: Racist Graffiti on Dorm Door Ruled Hate Crime Hoax
The College Fix ^ | 3/24/2014 | Jennifer Kabbany

Posted on 03/24/2014 10:02:40 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus

The Grand Valley State University student who found racist graffiti on her dorm room door’s whiteboard in mid-February is the same person who put it there, police have determined.

The racist message had included a stick figure in a hangman noose and the words “black b*tch die” and “f**k black history month.” (Image shown is edited)

“When the incident was initially brought to the campus’s attention, several organizations and groups were highly alarmed, prompting assemblies, discussions in the classroom and a university-wide alert to the situation,” according to the Michigan-based college’s student newspaper, the Grand Valley Lanthorn.

Turns out, the incident joins the long and growing list of campus hate-crime hoaxes across the nation.

“The person believed to be responsible for the drawing and language written on the dry erase board is a Grand Valley student and the owner of the message board,” stated Grand Valley Police Department Chief Renee Freeman on Friday. “The incident has had a disruptive impact on the community and as a result, the student has been referred to the Dean of Students for a student code violation. University policy does not permit the release of his/her name.”

However, based on the message’s wording, it seems likely the student is an African-American female.

But the sentiment is still there, therefore the grievance events will continue as planned.

Because it serves a purpose.

Ooooooo-kay...... How did they get from point A to point B in that?

What part of those words is "female" and what part is "African-American"?

“graffiti on her dorm room door’s whiteboard”

This gives it away. I don’t consider something that I can erase very easily to be graffiti.

So many of these incidents have turned out to be hoaxes.

Some lesbians painted anti-homosexual graffiti on their house, claiming they were the target of hatred. Turns out they did it themselves, to try to show how the homosexual co munity is allegedly the target of hate crimes.

When I hear these cases anymore, I just assume it is a hoax until proven otherwise, as opposed to being shocked that there is allegedly such hatred out there for whatever grievance group is involved.

I can’t be the only one who now just disregards this type of crap.

Because the hoaxers gets pretty much what they want, and usually get off with little more than a slap on the wrist.

I’ve seen ‘the image’ and can report the writing was not in cursive. Perhaps that is part of the evidentiary conclusion.

It "could have" happened, therefore it is the same as if it did happen.
Everybody knows that racist fanaticize about doing things like this, so we are only exposing what is in their thoughts. /sat.

You should have seen how some of our local media handled this story.

Any person that (on one website) commented initially that this was likely a hoax had their comments deleted, while people that predictably used this as an excuse to paint all of West Michigan as “racist christian rednecks” that were all part of the KKK, were allowed to just rant.

I bet GVSU will just sweep this under the rug. For as “conservative” a place that it is assumed to be, it’s still very much the hippie school it has always been.
