The Campus Hate Crime Hoax Epidemic
Fed by leftist mass hysteria, a radical academic vanguard, and an increasingly greedy racial-grievance industry.

As Americans have seen in the Obama era, the cultish, Democrat-endorsed Black Lives Matter movement, whose members openly urge the murder of cops, is built on the Big Lie that police routinely use black Americans for target practice. This evil movement draws many of its activists from college and university campuses.
This makes sense. The academy is a logical enough home for modern-day racists, especially those with dark skin, a condition that makes them more or less immune to serious scrutiny. In the professorate there is no shortage of supporters of racist cop-killing black radicals like Mumia abu Jamal and Assata Shakur.
The universities are filled with pseudo-intellectual black academics like Kwanzaa inventor Maulana Karenga, Marc Lamont Hill, Michael Eric Dyson, and Cornel West, as well as malevolent radicals like Angela Davis, Julianne Malveaux, black liberation theology creator James Cone, and Obama's late legal mentor and critical race theory originator Derrick Bell. They, along with plenty of pseudo-intellectual radical white academics, consider it their life's mission to indoctrinate students in order to eventually force unwanted change on American society.
In such a political and intellectual climate it shouldn't be all that surprising that racial hoaxes thrive on the nation's college and university campuses. Without lies, the Left would have no recruiting tools. Lies sell books and movie tickets and get people to volunteer their time for what they think is a worthy cause. (British journalist Milo Yiannopoulos compiled a helpful list of more than 100 hate crime hoaxes from the past decade in a recent Breitbart News article.)
Lies about racist white people running wild serve as especially effective get-out-the-vote programs for left-wing Democrats. The killings of Trayvon Martin of Sanford, Fla., and Michael Brown of Ferguson, Mo., were not sparked by race. Martin and Brown, despite the relentless left-wing propaganda muddying the waters, both initiated physical violence against white authority figures -- a neighborhood watch volunteer and a police officer respectively -- who ended up killing them in self-defense.
America is a terrible racist country rife with injustice and misery, the Left wants to tell people. If left-wingers can't get their hands on useful facts, they fabricate their own facts.
It is unclear whether the act complained of at Salisbury University was intended as a simple prank, an exercise in cultural consciousness-raising, or a political false flag operation calculated to foment civil unrest, but it is clear that the school is hiding behind a privacy law in order to refuse to say who did it and try to keep a lid on details.
The fake hate crime consisted of a childish drawing on a whiteboard of a crying stick figure hanging from a noose. The N-word appears beside an arrow pointing to the body and below it the phrase "#WhitePower" appears.
...
The recovering academic continues:
"The psychology involved sometimes is complex, revolving around self-hate, but in other instances, it is purely commercial – the opportunity to raise money, or bullying – the opportunity to intimidate spineless college administrators into meeting demands for (variously) ethnic or sexuality studies programs faculty slots, student centers, or any of the other baubles purchased out of the high tuitions and student activity fees extorted in return for a degree."
Lifson is right, of course.
Which suggests the epidemic of race hoaxes on America's college and university campuses isn't likely to subside any time soon.
