If America Is So Racist, Why Are There So Many Race Hoaxes?
American Greatness ^ | 7/7/20 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 07/08/2020 6:57:47 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

As I wrote nearly three years ago: "Perhaps the second greatest libel — and certainly the most widespread — is that America is a racist country that oppresses its minorities and women. We can call it the American Libel." (The greatest libel was the infamous blood libel, the fabricated charge spread in Europe for hundreds of years by Christian anti-Semites that Jews kill Christian children to use their blood to bake matzos — unleavened bread — for Passover.)

But if America is so racist, why are there so many race hoaxes? Virtually every time we read about a swastika painted on a door, or a noose hanging from a tree to taunt blacks, it turns out to be either a false alarm or, more frequently, a hoax.

Here are a dozen examples:

No. 1: The Duke lacrosse team (2006): Three white members of the Duke University lacrosse team were falsely accused by Crystal Mangum, a black student at North Carolina Central University, with having raped her. The charges were all fabricated, but the American media and Duke University faculty rushed to judgment and devoted months to smearing the three lacrosse players and Duke University itself as racist.

No. 2: UC San Diego library noose (2010): "Student apologizes for noose in UC San Diego library" (Los Angeles Times). A "minority student" was responsible for placing the noose in the university library. Previously, the Associated Press had reported, "Anger boiled over on the University of California San Diego campus today, where students took over the chancellor's office to protest the hanging of a noose in a campus library."

I have just signed up for my old friend Marc Epstein's distribution list. He recently introduced me to the New English Review, and they have agreed to publish an article of mine, which I will excerpt here as soon as it sees print. If you like this sort of article, send me your e-mail in private, and I'll forward your request to Marc so that you can be included.

People who’ve got time to feel oppressed by street names and statues are NOT oppressed at all.

Question — what does it say about America, that so few, if any of these incidents, turn out to be real, that so many are hoaxes, perpetrated by the allegedly oppressed people themselves?

What does it say about the allegedly oppressed minority groups, that they feel the need to orchestrate these incidents?

What does it say about allegedly bigoted conservative people, that they are not perpetrating these incidents?

If America is so racist and bigoted, why have about 2 million Africa immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa, come to America in recent decades?

In the words of another FReeper: "the demand for racist incidents far exceeds the supply."

Sorry I can't remember who said that.

I tried to goad a guy into racing my truck the other night by revving the motor. I didn’t really intend to race him so is that a race hoax?

Bingo.

There was something a week or so ago where President Trump tweeted something like "Most cops are good people." And some BLM person responded "That is probably the most racist thing I have ever heard in my life."

And I think that right there nails down the proof that this country is not at all racist. There is no oppression.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. James Byrd Jr. was dragged to death behind a pickup truck in Jasper, Texas, on June 7, 1998. There were three perpetrators, and his body was cut in half. So that makes for one half a murder per one and a half white supremacists in Jasper, Texas—AND THAT’S JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG! Former officer Chauvin was thinking racist thoughts when he sat on George Floyd’s neck. So there! You racists.
