I'm reporting this thread to Baylor.

This level of racism anbd fact-denial should not be permitted on a site with any affiliation with Baylor, and this thread should be deleted by the site mods.

The governor of Utah acknowledged and apologized for this incident.

This was my personal favorite racism hoax. I saw this on the local news here in the best Carolina.

S.C. Mayor Says 'Yellow Sticky Substance' on Her Car Was Sprayed by Vandals, Police Say It's Just Pollen

Anyone who has lived through a spring in S Carolina knows that there is a 2-3 week period in March where the pine pollen covers your car and its not related to a racist hate crime.

This post, in a microcosm, is a sad commentary on the current state of the world. In this day and age, we are not allowed to question the veracity of a story of alleged racism, regardless of the red flags it raises and the total lack of corroboration. Instead, we must believe the alleged victim was the target of a vicious and disgusting racist attack. The accused has no presumption of innocence, and must instead be banished from society, along with anyone who dares question the accuser's narrative, despite numerous past instances of these kinds of stories being made-up (see 1. Smollet; 2. Duke lacross accuser; 3. Baylor accuser; 4. Nick Sandmann, etc.)

Is this really the world you want to live in, where it is racist and beyond the pale to question an ESPN reporter's and the accuser's uncorroborated take on what happened?


Thank you for including Nick Sandman in this list. At least he received an unspecified settlement from the big media who slandered him. He's probably a millionaire now. BTW, Kyle Rittenhouse has hired the same attorney.

Honestly, have you been paying attention? Today's most valuable currency is victimization. A no-name volleyball player just became a celebrity for a day and got attention and love from ESPN. There have been more racial hoaxes than actual incidents in the last 10 years and it is not even close. Basic common sense easily explains in 2022 the odds of a Gen Zer yelling racial slurs in public vs. a person making it up ...

How would you even be able to guess the ratio of racist hoax to real racist incident? Is this "common sense" talking? Seems your perception may be skewed.
Maybe you would like to litter this thread with all of the major stories of racism over the past few years, that were NOT a hoax?
That would be a good first step towards calculating that ratio.... you up for that?

There have already been a ton of examples of national stories, which later turned out to be fake... so maybe you can remind us of all the national stories which were true? I'm sure there must be hundreds... maybe thousands, right?

Wait, are you going by what you hear on entertainment media to determine how prevalent racism is in America?

Is hate speech only hateful and racist when uttered by whites ?


As I have heard dozens of incidents ( first hand ) where such utterances where made by Hispanics or blacks toward whites.

Interesting …..wasn't aware of such a reality in 1988 when I prevented a Mexican national from driving off with about 100 of my alfalfa bales on his trailer at 11pm .

Possibly some hate speech was involved

Is there a time limit on this 'white privilege ' curse, or is it perpetual ?

So in other words, you don't have enough examples of national stories of actual racism, to prove your ratio theory.

But it was a nice attempt at deflection.

There are plenty of racist people out there who show their racism on a regular basis. I know a number of them (and tend to avoid their company). If we want to see the state of racism in America, however, counting instances of racism reported in media is not a good way to do that because media coverage does not reflect what is going on.

Untrained Twitter users who jumped on this story might be excused for their failure to exercise proper verification before spouting off. Professional journalists, however, should not. Sadly, too many are now more interested in being advocates than that they are in being accurate.

So if incidences of racism are so rampant... and the media likes to jump on those stories, rather than investigate them... then why are there so few media stories of actual racist incidences?

If the media is motivated to promote all the racist stories (and they clearly are), then why aren't at least half of these media stories true? Why are the majority of these stories fake?

Clearly, there are not as many of these racist incidences as you would like for us to believe. They can't ALL be flying under the radar so effectively.... especially if racism stems from ignorance, as so many would have us believe.... then how are all these ignorant people so good at hiding their racist attacks? Those must be some of the most crafty & brilliant, ignorant people on the planet? Especially since they are all over the nation, in every part of society.

Yes, only whites can be racist (because of white privilege).

And furthermore, according to the left, all of the black racists out there should not only be condoned, but should be encouraged and supported in their racism because of their never ending "victim" status. It's why to them it's perfectly permissible for black racists and their allys to riot, burn/destroy other people's property, and loot their nearest Wal-Mart anytime they get upset over things like drug addicted thugs getting themselves killed while stupidly resisting arrest.

I think you misread that statement.

I was saying that there are not as many racist incidences as you would like us to believe there are. What that means is that your post implies that there are plenty of racist incidences out there, that occur "on a regular basis".
My point is that there doesn't seem to be any evidence to back up your statements.
Would you like to provide the evidence to back up your statements?

If racism happens "on a regular basis" (as you stated), and the media is overly motivated to report on racist incidences even without investigation (as you stated), then why aren't there hundreds of stories about racism which are eventually proven true? Why are the majority of racism stories proven to be fake?

I am sure there are easy statistics available that could be calculated.

For example a black professor wrote an entire book on race hoaxes that had something 100-200 incidents that were all false. I am sure he gathered the info from somewhere and that some agency either private or the fbi or someone has data on how many they investigate that are false and how many are real.

but you won't bother to look for it because you want to believe the media that race crimes are on the rise when they only track race crimes towards blacks but not ones involving blacks towards Asians, whites, etc. Like the increase in attacks on Asians by blacks in Cali and NYC. Or the teens in NYC that attacked a white person on a bus yelling things about whites the whole time but it is not listed as a race motivated attack or crime.

It was Professor Wilfred Reilly at Kentucky State University. And it was more than 400+

[Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War was published by Regnery Publishing in February 2019. For the book, Reilly assembled a data set of 409 false or dubious hate crime allegations (concentrated during the past five years), which he describes as hoaxes on the basis of reports in mainstream national or regional news sources. Reilly has stated this data set is available to anyone who requests it]

There's too much incentive to make up a story about racism than there is punishment for making up a story about racism.

Like I said, creating a hoax about racism usually involved someed as a one of from another race and that in and of itself should be treated as a hate crime.

There's too much incentive to make up a story about racism than there is punishment for making up a story about racism.

Like I said, creating a hoax about racism usually involved someed as a one of from another race and that in and of itself should be treated as a hate crime.
Yep, the upside and accolades that come with getting away with making up a fake hate crime are far more than the punishment (almost non existent) that comes from being found out.

Indeed if you look up punishments for fake hate crimes and lying...it almost never happens.

For whatever reason Universities don't seem to want to punish those that lie about this kind of stuff.
