Eastern Michigan student Mikea LaPierre holds a sign in protest of the racist graffiti in 2016.
Campus police noted that they had committed more than 1,080 hours to investigating the incidents, with the help of the FBI and the Michigan State Police, among others.
EMU President James Smith said in a statement to the campus community that the vandalism “created significant pain, fear and distress among our students, faculty and staff” and that he had felt angry about them as well.
The incidents prompted strong reactions throughout the community, both on and off campus. The faculty senate condemned them and held a day-long teach-in about racism and diversity, and some professors held a vigil at one of the vandalized buildings, wearing black to show support for students of color. Student leaders, Ypsilanti city officials and NAACP members held a candlelight vigil. More than 100 students marched to the university president’s house, demanding action. Last fall and in the spring, the otherwise quiet campus of Eastern Michigan University was hit by three ugly incidents of vandalism targeting blacks.
The first came in September, when “KKK” was sprayed in red, white and blue paint on the wall of a dormitory, along with a threat that used a racial slur and told blacks to “leave” the school in Ypsilanti, about 11 miles southeast of Ann Arbor.
Then, on Halloween, the same ominous hate message using the n-word and ordering blacks to leave showed up on another building, this one right next to the campus’s monument to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
In the spring, a third racist message was left in a men’s restroom stall.

Also, the social justice warriors usually end their protest whenever it turns out that the hate crime that they had been protesting against turns out be fake.
Those things happen?
The headline writer will probably get fired.
Question — what does it say about these radical activist types, that they feel the need to “stir the pot”, the need to create fictional incidents of alleged hatred and racism, to allegedly prove how bigoted and racist our country is?????
Question — what does it say about allegedly racist bigoted conservative types, who are NOT perpetrating these incidents which the radical activists blame them for????
EMU’s chief of police, Robert Heighes, did not offer any motive for the vandalism, except to say that “it was not driven by politics, and it was not driven by race. It was an individual item done by one individual,” Heighes told the campus newspaper, the Eastern Echo.

The phony “outrage” crowd is well rehearsed.
Official comment by the President of the university: “Nevermind”.

Every liberal is a lying violent totalitarian thug.
“And, in other news: The sun sets in the west and the Pope is Catholic.”
Fixed.
White people don’t do racial slurs anymore. PC has shut that door.
Well....the sun still sets in the west..........
The Left IS a fake hate crime.
Falls into the most common pattern.
Who woulda thunk it?
The grievance industry is one big scam and they cultivate the idiots of society to do their bidding. These are the type of sheep that propelled Obama to power and make idiots think half the country is queer.
It is ever thus.
