I’m shocked I tell ya, shocked!

Almost all of these incidents pan out to be hoaxes.

The Columbia University incident, in particular, stinks to high heaven.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

" . . . said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges."

What the h*ll is this happy horsesh*t? This should be categorized as a hate crime in Baltimore.

[BallyBill]

Yawn! Sigh!

Lack of Surprise, etc....

[Trailerpark Badass]

But...but...it’s the subtle, hidden racism that’s most insidious.

This goes deeper than a noose

The news of the hoax came a day after a report released by the city's inspector general found that the top performers on two recent Fire Department promotions exams likely cheated amid lapses in testing security.

A black firefighters group had called accusations of cheating racially motivated after union officials questioned the test scores. But the investigation found that five African-American firefighters had studied by using a 2001 exam, which is against test protocol.

oops

A crime is a crime. A hate crime is a hoax waiting to happen.

"It really saddens us to hear that evidently things have reached a stage that even an African-American does an injustice to himself and his own people as a result of a negative culture in that department," Cheatham said when asked to respond to the unions.

Whitey made him do it! The guy should be responsible for all costs associated with the investigation.

Why is it that it’s always a strict rule, gotta prosecute, gotta suspend, etc, except when it comes to those who are employed by the government facing the same issues?

[donna]

It’s not a hoax, it’s a fake hate crime.

[thegreatbeast]

He should be hung. This crap isn’t funny.

Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Police Department and for Mayor Sheila Dixon, said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges.

Why isn't he being charged??

Ann Coulter, about six weeks ago: "I'll be shocked by a noose appearing on a college campus the day an actual racist does it."

[ricks_place]

Black American men and women should be given a hand-up if needed. But...A Black Fire Department EMT fails to achieve required paramedic certification, Perpetrates a racial hoax incident, and the NAACP says that the hoax proves the racism in the department! Never argue with insanity!

Marvin L. "Doc" Cheatham, president of the NAACP's Baltimore chapter, said the fact that such an incident could occur shows that pervasive racial problems persist in the department. - Baltimore Sun

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This is a hate crime! I demand that he be put in prison!
Won’t happen. AS SOON AS the police find out that the criminal who did the deed is NOT WHITE, it’s all over. No prosecution. No hate crime. No jail. No nothing.
That’s why I say that “hate crime” laws were created explicitly for the express purpose of harassing WHITE PEOPLE!

[Hacklehead]

Doesnt the fact that the racism has to be manufactured prove that it is pretty rare?

[bonehead4freedom]

He planted the noose himself,I'm shocked!No charges will be filed against him for the incident,I’m surprised!I'm glad he was able to make a statement on our racist society!I'm going to go feel guilty over my white privilege now!

[stevie_d_64]

A hate crime against yourself...

Well if that ain’t the kettle calling the pot black!

Ohhh, shoot...Muh bad...

[Thumper1960]

Oooooooooo...................pervasive White racism drove this poor Black man to episodic racial self hatred. Thereby, causing him to harass himself and play out, in real life, the hatreds he instinctively knows is in each Honkie's White person's heart.

It's elementary.
