If America Is So Racist, Why Are There So Many Race Hoaxes?

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."

The media needs lies and hoaxes to perpetuate their fake narratives. If you watched Gayle King on CBS This Morning you’d think that half the Blacks are still slaves.

I know this is late, but I just finished the commentary. It DOES mention your bakery in the next-to-last paragraph, after #12. Honorable mention, IOW.

Thank you, I missed the final paragraph entry in undeserved haste.

FYI: Oberlin’s problems continue, a Federal Appeals court (6th) just reinstated a wrongful dismissal suit against the College to go to trial. The Oberlin sexual misconduct process has a 100% conviction rate against male students and finds nothing wrong with it.

Why anyone with at least 2 functioning brain cells would go to Oberlin is beyond me.
