Racism Charges in Bus Incident, and Their Unraveling, Upset University at Albany
New York Times ^ | March 1, 2016 | VIVIAN YEE

ALBANY — The allegation set social media ablaze, sowing shock and outrage as it went: Three black students at the University at Albany had been attacked on a city bus by a group of white men who used racial slurs as other passengers and the driver sat silently by.

The Jan. 30 episode, reported to the police, would draw hundreds of people to a campus rally against racism; an emotional response from the university’s president; and even the attention of Hillary Clinton, who condemned the attack on Twitter.

When you read the article (Of course it is the NY Times) it is still whitey’s fault. The idiot author of this POS just hopes it can be found that the 19 YO white female provoked three large black females into slugging her. Whitey is the racist to them Always.

But the crime these black kids committed, the attacks on the whites, the false police reports, the misleading of all those people that came to support... all that will get 1/5th the media attention as the original lie.

Nyt as absurd a spin as ever...the “hard won dialogue” about race? Are you kidding me??? For decades it’s been super duper fashionable to accuse whites of racism. It was hard won in mlk’s day.

Another hoax. Prosecute the hoaxers to the full extent of the law.

It’s hard for the left to admit that blacks are racist and willing to lie to “prove” that Whitey is the racist.

The liars need to get the same penalty that a White would have gotten for this. They won’t.

When I read it that was my 1st thought too. They made it all up but are still the victims.

Another leftist “fake but accurate” story. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

From the article

“It’s disappointing and saddening that somebody who seemed to be trying to help the movement would be the one to set it back,” said Lauren Hospedales, a freshman...referring to Ms. Burwell...Yet, Ms. Hospedales added, “We needed her to get that conversation started, so it wasn’t a waste of time.”

Lying isn't a waste of time, if it means "getting a conversation started" that has been started and restarted ad nauseam! I'm getting sick of conversations and dialogue.
