Why we keep falling for hate-crime hoaxes
New York Post ^ | 3 Oct 2019 | Andy Ngo

Posted on 10/04/2019 3:32:12 AM PDT by BlackVeil

Last month, 12-year-old Amari Allen appeared on television to share how she had been brutalized by racist white boys at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Virginia. ....

When the story first broke, left-wing politicians and activists raged. Rep. Rashida Tlaib published a personalized message on Twitter to the girl: “You see, Amari, you may not feel it now but you have a power that threatens their core. I can’t wait to watch you use it and thrive.” On Twitter, some even found a way to blame the Trump administration, noting ominously that Vice President Mike Pence’s wife, Karen, teaches art part-time at the school.

WE??!! What's with this "we" BS?

Speak for thee, not for me.

If you're that gullible, Mr. Ngo, I have no pity to spare for you.

I don’t think anyone “falls” for them except the MSM.

And the reason is easy: they have an agenda and these stories fit the agenda. It’s the same reason they ignore Polar Bear hunting, NASA findings that disprove man made global warming, the booming economy, and anything good Israel does or bad that the Arabs do.

They “fall” for it because they want them to be true.

Any time we hear “hate crime” anymore our first instinct is fake since the majority end up being fake. Only the agenda-driven and race hustlers “fall for” them.

Yes, I agree - there is a "want to be true" aspect to the credulity.

There is also a fear of being seen as racist, or oppressive - casting doubt on the sufferings of someone. Lots of people doubted Jussie Smollett, but did not dare say so, until his story fell apart.

The Left falls for it because the market among the Left for white perpetrator hate crimes is vastly larger than the supply. Their ideology is built on the world for minorities being a dangerous place that only the Left can save those poor minorities from. It’s still Bull Connor’s Alabama everywhere in the U.S. to these people (he was a Democrat BTW).

Of course, the reality is that the U.S. is very far beyond all this, and the racial grievance mongering from the Left creates a lot of harm for those minorities, as it prevents dealing with actual problems. To close, let’s examine some real-world statistics about “white supremacy”:

It’s certainly arguable that the Left’s racial grievance mongering prevents properly addressing the elephant in the room, which is that right bar.

Andy Ngo is a Leftist who is early in the red-pill phase, having recently been mugged. He’s still figuring it out, but at least seems to be doing so.

They fabricate them as excuses for underperformance, then push them to ensure victimhood status.

As this country fills with foreigners, the indifference - or outright hatred - is palpable (both ways).

Having lived within a 10 mile radius of Harvard Square (the "belly of the beast") for my entire life (except time in the Armed Forces) I can guarantee you that there are people outside of the MSM who truly believe things like that.And more than a few of them can be considered to be quite well educated.

Bush's National Guard records? Of course the document that Dan Blather released was...well,"inaccurate"...but they're *convinced* that he was AWOL the entire time.

Ditto Jessie Smolette.

Etc,etc...

Yes,I have an Excel file (somewhere!) from the FBI that shows that inter racial murder is rare in this country.Specifically,it shows that blacks killing whites is unusual...or even rare...and that whites killing blacks is all but unheard of.

Same thing for rape. There are years where *zero* white perp, black victim rapes are recorded.

So, about 20% of murder victims are white, and 55% are black. Considering the actual proportions of each race in the population, there is a huge problem. If murder victims were distributed proportionally to their relative populations, those numbers would almost be reversed.

Who are the other 25% of victims?
