The reportedly 'Trump-inspired' racist blaze at the black church in Mississippi was actually lit by a BLACK churchgoer (November 2016). Leftist MSM ran headlines like “A Black Church Burned in the Name of Trump” after a black church in Greenville, MS was spray painted with the words “Vote Trump” and then lit ablaze.
Wa-Po (the Compost) printed, “Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons called the fire a ‘hateful and cowardly act,’ sparked by the incendiary rhetoric of GOP nominee Donald Trump during his presidential campaign.”
So disgusting that the church was set on fire by one of the church’s very own black congregants.
hoaxes grow where not taxed or punished
It’s easy to imagine revenge and greed being two common motives for hate crime hoaxes...charge a cop with “racial profiling” or “excessive force” and get a cool,and easy,$250K.
Best list I know of, over 600 items. And they haven’t updated in a bit, there are 3-4 new ones, including Jussie Smollett.

Well, you know, someone has to do the crimes that conservative American’s won’t do. How else can you justify the overreaching, overspending corrupt government?
It’s about jobs, saving high consumption, low production jobs for people who have little ability and very low ethics.

Apparently fakehatecrimes.org is a fake website as well.
Some of the more outrageous hoax hate crimes of November 2016, when Trump was elected president.
1. A Muslim woman at the U. of Michigan claimed a drunken man threatened to light her on fire if she didn’t remove her hijab. She made it up, 100%.
2. Bisexual student Taylor Volk, an openly bisexual man at N. Park University, claimed to be the target of hateful notes and emails following Trump’s election. She told NBC News that “I just want them to stop.” She had fabricated all the notes to herself.
3. Gas station racism - Phili. woman Ashley Boyer claimed she was harassed by white, Trumper males who pulled a knife on her. She claimed that the white men “proceeded to talk about the election and how they’re glad they won’t have to deal with n—–s much longer.” She even claimed the men had been caught and were facing criminal charges. All false, police knew nothing about it.
4. White men in Trump hats supposedly rob 18 yo Muslim woman of her hijab and wallet in Louisiana while yelling racial slurs. She confessed to the police that she made the whole thing up after they questioned her tale.
5. Church organist vandalizes his own church but was arrested May 2017. He had spray-painting a swastika, and ‘fag’, and “Heil Trump” on the church front wall.
6. Another 18YO Muslim NYC woman claimed she was a attacked by Trump supporters at the subway station while onlookers all stared. This nutbag Yasmin Seweid eventually confessed that she lied completely and there was no attack.
Hopefully his book does a better job of scope and summation. What time span were the 409 that he found? What percentage of overlap were the 348? If they were in one year, then they can compare them to the 7,000 in 2017, otherwise the numbers are useless.
It would behoove this AP to have his resume in order.
This happens all the time in the Raleigh area at the many local colleges. Somebody throws a noose in a tree, they make a big deal, and then when it’s exposed they claim it’s an art project.
Say in a given town ten hate or sex crimes occur over a period of time. Only one is reported. At the same time, one person decides to fake a crime.
Liberals say only ten percent of these crimes are reported, which is correct.
Conservatives say that fifty percent of the reported crimes are hoaxes, which is also correct.
Liberals then try to claim that hoaxes are a tiny percentage of the real crimes occurring, which is a completely irrelevant attempt to change the subject.
Law enforcement can only spend time on reported crimes, and if they are wasting half their time on politically-motivated hoaxes then the politicians who are inspiring them are at fault - and need to pay a price for their irresponsibility.
Hate crime hoaxes are precisely as common as we believe here on FR. If it’s so unusual that it makes the news, it is almost always #FakeNews.
Hoaxes seem to be more common than ‘real’ hate crimes.
You don’t need to hoax crimes to call attention to real hate crimes, if the real hate crimes already exist. If they did, you would just write your articles about those, make your youtube videos or twitter posts about those, organize protests about those, etc.
Nobody in the 50s or 60s faked a lynching to “call attention” to real lynchings. That would be preposterous.
