A series of offensive fliers appear on campuses using racist and sexist language. A person adorned in KKK regalia struts around a campus. Threatening anti-gay letters are slipped under dorm doors.
A noose appears in an African-American student’s room. Terrifying texts arrive in cell phones employing racial language to threaten both a student and the President of the United States. What do all these recent events have in common? They are all lies.
guess they failed at every turn to do anything really harmful to Pres. so what do they do play that elusive race card they always accuse us of, except their calling out happens in the media notice they are the only ones who bring up Nazi references, surprised they haven't laid that on us too.
While manufacturing claims of being the victim of hate speech carry some severe penalties, actually being the victim of discrimination is often rewarded on college campuses. While the young adults who perpetrate these hoaxes are at least partially aware of the consequences, they are just as aware of the incentives associated with being the victim of racism. A recent increase in the number of hoaxes being uncovered suggests that the cost/benefit calculation has changed. Students now seem to believe that the rewards associated with creating a myth of victimization around themselves outweigh the risks. This is a miscalculation on the part of the hoaxers, but perpetrating a discrimination hoax is not an illogical venture. It makes perfect sense for students to see the risks associated with such a hoax as acceptable.The most recent scandal which made international headlines took place in Ohio's Oberlin University. There, in February, police reported that the college was plagued by racism. Swastikas were painted onto the school's doors. Pro-Hitler and Nazi slogans, vile discriminatory language, and sexual and racial slurs began showing up in fliers. Even a man in a KKK hood and robe was seen wandering the campus.Oberlin College cancelled classes. They held a "Day of Solidarity" and a school-wide "Rally Against Hate." Nearly 500 students turned out to march against the acts of vandalism seen around campus. The school, which has a reputation as one of the most liberal colleges in the country, was shut down. National and international headlines were written about the inexplicable outburst of anti-minority hate ironically overtaking one of America's most liberal environments.The police were initially warned that two white male students were behind the rash of racist and anti-gay sloganeering. The two students who would eventually confess to the hoax were, indeed, white males. They were also Obama campaign volunteers who were deeply committed to the cause of eliminating "structural racism" where it exists – even if it needs to be fabricated first.The Oberlin hoax is not an isolated event. On Monday, a 16-year-old Jersey City high school student was revealed to have sent himself texts which threatened him, his family, and PresidentBarack Obama.
this allows the racist right wing an alibi they can blame their defaming on radical Obama supporters, which will sniff out Issa and the good 'ol boys. put this together two white guys, nazi refferences and memorabilia, claiming Progressive loyalty just a little to neat, don't you think.
