Julio recently reported on Johnathan Perkins, the director for Race and Equity at the University of California-Los Angeles, who, in a series of tweets, ranted against Justice Clarence Thomas, even tweeting "he can go" and he "can choke." Perkins also questioned whether Thomas was as sick as was reported before doubling down on his death wish. The rating thread remains up. As Mia Cathell covered for The Post Millennial, though, there's even more when it comes to Perkins' questionable past on racial issues.
Cathell details quite the dramatic incident of Perkins fabricating a story of police misconduct from 2011 when he was a student at the University of Virginia School of Law. Perkins would also go on to promote the riots in the summer of 2020.
While a student at the University of Virginia School of Law in 2011, he made national news when he claimed he was the victim of racial profiling by the school's police department. The case resulted in FBI involvement and what Perkins maintains was "a coerced recantation." Years later, Perkins went public with "the full story," alleging that a federal agent pressured him to recant his initial claim.
When he was a young law student, Perkins claimed the campus police racially profiled him until he recanted the allegation weeks later. Six to seven years passed by before Perkins decided to "set the record straight," according to a 2018 Associated Press exposé where he claimed he was under duress when he said he fabricated the tale about how two white cops harassed him because he is black.
"I want people to know what actually happened. I want people to know that people of color don't have to make these things up," Perkins told the AP in an interview.

He was certainly under duress when he recanted. But that happens when you fake an incident, the FBI gets involved, they confront you with the evidence of the hoax, and give you a choice of recanting or prosecution.
Aren’t they required to fake a racial hoax in order to get tenure?
Seems like $139,999.00 too much.
Yes, though ginning up animosities can be hard work.
A freeper had posted a link to a website that tracks fake hate crimes. Anyone got it?
Then you should stop making things up if you know you don't have to, educated idiot.
