MN teen falsely accused of sending classmate racist messages: 'I felt unsafe in my community'

Minnesota high school student Avery Severson said on Friday that she was unsure what her future would hold after being falsely accused of sending racist messages to a Black classmate.

"I was just shocked when I saw that they were accusing me and I felt unsafe. I felt unsafe at school," Severson, a sophomore at White Bear Lake High School near St. Paul, told "Fox & Friends."

Severson was accused by a Black classmate of sending racist direct messages on Instagram.

"Screenshots from an alleged conversation between Precious Boahen, who accused Severson of racism, and an account called "GoWhiteBear," show the anonymous account using racial slurs. It’s unclear who was ultimately behind the anonymous account," according to the Daily Wire.

The so-called racist messages were discovered to be a "hoax" after White Bear Lake High School, the FBI, and the local police department investigated the situation. The district’s superintendent sent an email concluding that the Instagram messages were indeed a "hoax."

The word “hoax” has an underlying hint of humor in it. Events that have no humor in them whatsoever, and in fact are crimes, should not be called a hoax.

I am very frustrated when conservatives continue to call something like the investigation of the supposed Trump/Russia collusion a “hoax”. It was a criminal conspiracy by the FBI/DOJ. We should also not term things like that a joke. A word like “atrocity” is more appropriate.

Burn, Loot, Murder all blacks who do not live in large mansions, every time a policeman shoots one. It’s a great business model.

OMG. It’s what I suspected. So if you do a capital “w,” you’re now a racist, and will never work at the AP or any other media outlet again? How very White.

Vistas of wokeness are opening up. Pretty soon we’ll have to film ourselves doing 8.5 minutes on our knees, confessing our White privilege in order NOT to be banned from Twitter, Facebook and You Tube. It’s deplorable.
