The Psychology of Hate Crime Hoaxes
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
What's a hate crime hoax?
It's when someone stages what looks like a hate crime, usually with himself as the victim.
A black woman sends herself hate mail, or a Muslim claims white people attacked him and called him a terrorist.
People do this because, at least until they are unmasked, it can mean instant fame and tremendous sympathy for the fake victim.
You remember Crystal Mangum.
Who accused Duke lacrosse players of gang-raping her?
And the Muslim woman who claimed she was attacked by Trump supporters on the subway in New York?
Until their stories fell apart, these women basked in the glory of victimhood.
And white people basked in the glory of denouncing racism.
But these things have a very peculiar psychology.
Some white people get such a thrill out of frothing about racism.
That is to say, denouncing other white people.
That not even a hoax can spoil their fun.
The latest high-profile case of this kind was at the Air Force Academy Prep School in Colorado Springs.
Rude messages showed up on the white boards outside the rooms of black students.
There was outrage and a frantic search for the perp.
Academy Commandant Lieutenant General Jay Silveria called everyone in for a dressing down.
4,500 people standing at attention.
Here he is telling everyone to pull out their cell phones and record his righteous anger.
Grab your phones.
I want you to videotape this so that you have it, so that you can use it.
And here he's laying it on thick.
If you demean someone in any way, then you need to get out.
And if you can't...
Treat someone from another race or a different color skin with dignity and respect, then you need to get out.
Note the general's tone of grim virtue.
Well, it turned out that a black student wrote the anti-black messages, but, and this is the point, it makes no difference to the general.
As he explained, regardless of the circumstances under which these words were written, they were written, and that deserved to be addressed.
You can never overemphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect.
Well, it seems to me that whether a black person or a white person wrote those words makes a big difference.
But I guess that's why I'm not an Air Force general.
Or a college president.
You see, for several months, last year and this year, anti-black graffiti showed up at Eastern Michigan State University.
KKK. N-word.
That kind of thing.
Of course.
This prompted agony and outrage.
The faculty held a day-long teach-in.
Professors held a vigil and wore black in solidarity with black people.
Students held a candlelight vigil.
And there was a march to the president's house, demanding action.
Here's one of the many protests.
As you can see, there are lots of white people.
There was plenty of this kind of thing, too.
And here's another protest action.
White silence is the real national anthem, along with Black Lives Matter and Fuck White Supremacy.
Now, despite a massive police investigation, dozens of interviews, seven search warrants, and a $10,000 reward for fingering the perp, Eastern Michigan couldn't catch the guy.
Blacks were furious.
So they disrupted a football game.
Then they defied police orders and had an all-night sit-in at the student union.
They were supposed to be expelled for the sit-in, but the university backed down when it turned out that all the miscreants were black.
As university president James Smith explained, there were, quote, unique and compelling circumstances to justify not punishing them.
But President Smith did agree to expanded diversity training, more scholarships for blacks, more non-white faculty, and to make all students study race, the usual stuff.
You see, hate is always a great way to put the pressure on Whitey and make him squirm and screw concessions out of him.
Well, finally, in October of 2017...
After 1,080 hours of investigation by the campus police and plenty of help from the FBI and the state police, they finally caught the guy.
Here he is, Eddie Curlin, a former student at EMU, who admitted that he put up all the graffiti.
Well, EMU President Smith is another wise man, just like General Silveria.
As he explained about all the concessions to blacks, These and other actions will continue to move forward with the focus, determination, and importance with which they began.
By the way, no one got the $10,000 reward.
But you see, this is a pattern.
The hate turns out to be a hoax, but the campus still grovels.
Just last month, the president of Kansas State University authorized a two-hour shutdown of classes so students could take part in a unity walk.
And assembly in response to campus hate.
A Jewish ceremonial tent had been destroyed and a black student's car had N-word graffiti on it.
Well, the tent blew down in a storm.
And the black student wrote the graffiti himself.
But it didn't matter.
Kansas State held that rally anyway.
Here are students protesting against the hate that didn't happen.
Here's the rally to fight hate.
That didn't happen.
As Jack Ayers, the student body president, explained, this is a great opportunity for the university and the community to come together as we move forward to create a more inclusive and equitable campus.
Jack, of course, is white.
Oh, comments are disabled for this video.
I'm not sure why.
Well, there was more of the same at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota.
Eighty percent of the students were white, but the place was reportedly racked with racism.
In May of this year, a black student named Samantha Wells found an N-word note on her windshield, and it was just too much.
Students blocked entrances to the cafeteria and wouldn't let anyone in to eat.
As one black student explained, we feel uncomfortable every day, so we're going to make you feel uncomfortable.
Police thought about clearing a path to the food, but backed off, not daring to interfere with righteous black anger.
Students gathered in the student union to express their fury over the note on the windshield.
Then, the next Monday, they occupied an administration building and forced the college to cancel classes for that entire day so they could vent their fury over the note on the windshield.
They filled that place to the brim.
A group of students then Barged into a staff meeting with the president of St. Olaf and demanded action against racism right away.
That's the president, David Anderson, standing there like a dolt.
The usual signs went up on campus.
I'm sick of white tears and fuck your white complacency.
And, of course, the school agreed to a list of demands.
St. Olaf will recruit and retain yet more.
Of the usual downtrodden groups, there will be yet more sensitivity training, and every student will study even more about class, gender, race, and identity.
A few days later, Samantha Wells admitted she put the note on her own windshield.
Here she is, telling her story back when people still believed her.
But of course, St. Olaf will stick to its deal on recruitment and everything else.
Wise and sensitive white people realize it makes no difference who wrote the N-word or why.
The answer is always more white-baiting and more white-bashing.
Hate hoaxes have a long and distinguished history in America.
Older viewers will remember Tawana Brawley, who accused white people of gang-raping her back in 1987.
Al Sharpton got his start on the national stage promoting that hoax.
Tawana is trying to stay out of the limelight, but here she is today.
You see, ever since racism became the most despised crime in the country, hoaxes have become an irresistible temptation for non-whites to get themselves fawned over and an irresistible opportunity for whites to do the fawning.
But how often do they happen?
Who are the perps?
How many hoaxers are white?
Or Asian?
Or Muslim?
As long ago as 1994, there was already such a clear pattern of hoaxes that a researcher named Laird Wilcox put out a report called"Crying Wolf." There are a couple of internet sites that try to keep count of these things.
Well, we at American Renaissance have just posted an interactive map of every recent hate crime hoax that we could find.
We found over 100 in just the last two years.
You can search our database by race of perp, type of hoax, and a lot of other filters.
You'll find eye-opening stuff just like the stuff in this video.
Come look at our hoax map at the link in the YouTube description right in this video.
