Black student responsible for racist graffiti at American college
2021-04-09
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On April 5, Albion College students tweeted that "there have been more than 12 racist incidents within the past week" at the educational institution.

This graffiti, which included messages such as "white lives matter" and "white power," turned out to have been allegedly created by a 21-year-old black male.

This person also is said to have written such messages as "666" on top of a Star of David, alongside "let's kill all N*****."

The Albion police brought said male into questioning, where he admitted to doing most of the graffiti. This student was released after questioning. It is unclear whether any charges will be brought against this student.

Images of the racist graffiti quickly went viral across social media platforms, with one local outlet posting the story accompanied with pictures that they censored "due to it being so offensive."

FIFY. Not just anti-Black. All sorts of idiots are helping recalcitrant reality match the universe in their heads.

The standard rationalization remains - 'may be fake, but it's accurate...'

#15  Dunno. Last summer's CSOC-hoaxer at Texas A&M seems OK with spelling but struggles mightily with syntax and grammar:

"All three signs were different signs, and one said ‘All lives matter’ and the other said ‘You don’t belong here’, and the other was very explicit, it said the n-word with a hard ‘r’,” Isaih [sic] Martin wrote on Twitter.

Martin strongly denies he’s responsible for the notes, and said he believes the culprit is one of those whom police discounted.

“I’m in a predicament where the topic of the case was let’s find out who did this to them pointing the finger at me,” Martin wrote on Twitter. “In the end, I stopped talking to them because it seemed they were more interested in me getting the blame for this hate crime instead of finding the actual person who did it.”

#14  I think we should be celebrating that fact that a college student of color (CSOC?) is capable of writing a sentence in clear, properly spelled English. OK, they were very short sentences, but still...

#13  Very common. There's been an epidemic of Wakandan hate crime hoaxes, especially on American campuses, since the Obama era began. The College Fix tracks them and reported a total of 55 between 2012 and 2018. Here are some of the colleges and universities where Wakandan students faked at least one hate crime:

US Air Force Academy
U Chicago
Oberlin College
U Delaware
U Wyoming
Williams College
Montclair State
U Virginia Law School
San Diego State
SUNY-Albany
U Wisconsin
Elon College
Grand Valley State
Sweet Briar College
Yale
Kansas State
U Michigan

... and dozens more.

This is a nationwide epidemic of (fake) hatred. We need to get the CDC to declare it a mental health crisis. Get the FBI on it too.

#12  Like the media, when there isn't enough real white supremacy, they have to make it up.

#10  Prosecute the kid for the hate crime and kick him out of school. Doesn't matter if it was a hoax or not the chill effect on POC is the same and should be treated the same.

Any school counseling and introspection should be aimed at the issue of hoaxes.

BTW:
NOTE: Robert Dunklin, president of the Albion NAACP.
"We want the Black students, and all students on campus, to know that our NAACP branch will not tolerate this example of racially motivated hatred,"

So will Mr. Dunklin of the local N2ACP go after this 21 y/o Black Student to the same extent as if he was a White student?

Note: In attempts to trace the students name .... I see the media is applying a double standard and being racially bias. Because unlike when a WHITE STUDENT is caught being a DumbA$$ Racist and his name is plastered worldwide. I can't seem to note the same standard being applied to this BLACK STUDENT.

INTERESTING FACTOID:
The website that was track Fake Hate Crimes
fakehatecrimes-org was delisted right after adding Smollett Hoax.

#5  what made it suspicious was that one of the graffito that has everyone clutching a pearl within reach, said:

Die
(word that shall not be named)
Please

the fantastical 'white supremacist' is rarely so polite.
