St. Olaf: Report of racist note on black student's windshield was 'fabricated'
StarTribune ^ | 5/11/2017 | Jennifer Brooks and Paul Walsh

A racist threat against a St. Olaf student that touched off campuswide protests and forced the college to cancel classes earlier this month was a hoax, the school revealed Wednesday.

A student confessed to writing the note, St. Olaf President David R. Anderson wrote in a message to students. The threat — an anonymous, typewritten note — was “fabricated,” he said, as an apparent “strategy to draw attention to concerns about the campus climate.”

...to draw attention to concerns about the campus climate.

You mean the campus climate of liberal hysteria and defamation? Apparently students at St. Olaf are completely unfamiliar with ninth commandment.

Once again we see liberals who are completely devoid of morals and are willing to destroy innocent people in order to advance their otherwise specious agenda.

As per usual.

I guess these idiots never read, were never told Aesop’s tale about “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

Legal Insurrection had a good article on this. Lefties perpetrate the hoax, right? Get everyone upset. Make demands on the Admins for more black teachers, Black Studies, tear down the statues, yadayada.

They are eventually discovered, but then the meme is - “Regardless of whether this is a hoax or not, these things are important to implement.’ THAT is why we’re seeing so muh of it. Probably Soros or Obama money.

Big deal. He be black and it don't matter. Meanwhile, black entitlement snowflakes at UC are demonstrating extreme racism by demanding segregated housing. And they got it.

But us white folk are required to continue on like everything be everything.

A protestor against the note says it “started something good.” Say what? It’s becoming more and more apparent 20-somethings shouldn’t be let out of the basement. They aren’t ready for reality.

Conservatives need to offer ‘Liberal Elite Hoax Crimes Training’ at Education Factories... Professors should be required by law to attend...

Oh, I’m sure sometime somewhere one of these things was real. Just because I have never seen one does not mean at least one has not occurred.

Have also heard actual racist anti-black comments involving the N-word at sporting events. But rarely.

A climate so bad that the little snowflakes can't find real instances of racist notes, so they have to create them from whole cloth.

I knew it was fake. These things are 99.99% fake. I’m black and when I tell ‘concerned’ white people not to get worried about these events (I’m an academic, white academics are always concerned about something...), heads shake in disbelief, because, of course, there’s rampant racism everywhere.

Also, I’ve known a few people who either went to St Olaf or sent their kids there. It’s a nice school with a decent environment based on their reports. I’d be very surprised if such an overtly racist event happened there.
