Meth Head ex-lover at that too...
While all the hubbub was going on about this, wasn’t there a case of two black men holding, torturing and raping a young white boy....in Texas IIRC....that went totally under the MSM radar?
Even the perverts themselves admit it was all a scam.
Fake but accurate.
The Left will never accept this, even if proven beyond all doubt. They will accuse us of attempting to rewrite history, something the Left knows quite a bit about.
If you're referring to the Jesse Dirkheising murder, the pair of miscreants in that crime were not black...

Oh noes! What next - Trayvon was not an Eagle Scout and a Choir boy?
Or Tawaney Brawley was fibbing?
Thanks, I was working from dim memories and got my protected classes mixed up.
Also see it was AR and not TX
“Oh noes! What next - Trayvon was not an Eagle Scout and a Choir boy?”
That means I was wrong that Rachel Jenteal is a MENSA member.
"In November 1999, E. R. Shipp, ombudsman at The Washington Post, noted that 'readers, prodded by commentators who are hostile to LGBT people and to what they view as a 'liberal' press' had raised questions about the Dirkhising case. Shipp said, however, that she 'made a clear distinction' between the Dirkhising and Shepard cases: 'Matthew Shepard’s death sparked public expressions of outrage that themselves became news. . . . That Jesse Dirkhising’s death has not done so is hardly the fault of the Washington Post.' Shipp also noted that the Shepherd story was newsworthy because of the debate it fostered on hate crimes and the level of intolerance towards LGBT people in the United States."
Dirkhising was an Arkansas teenage boy tortured & raped by two homosexuals. The boy died during the ordeal. The Shepherd story was newsworthy owing to the outrage and thus featured by the W-P for days; but not Dirkhising because that was of local interest. Though the Post did carry an AP paragraph or two shortly after ombudsman was inundated with protests from around the country outraged by W-P refusing to mention Dirkhising.
What's interesting is that The Advocate takes the position that it doesn't matter whether the Matthew Shepard story is true or not; it advanced a certain narrative about hate crimes, and since that narrative was successful, the "actual truth" of the story is irrelevant.
Matthew Shepard could be Pavlik Morozov or Horst Wessel for all The Advocate cares -- and indeed, for all they've ever cared.
Most people aren't that "sophisticated," yet. But unfortunately, we're getting closer all the time.
Compare these two stories, and decide for yourself which one gets the numbskulls marching up Pennsylvania Avenue under their rainbow banners and which one doesn't:
Once upon a time there was a beautiful, innocent young man who was lured out of a bar in the middle of the night, tortured and murdered by two heterosexual men for no reason other than the fact that he was gay. The End.
Or this:
Once upon a time a homsexual meth dealer was murdered as an ordinary result of his occupation by his sometime homosexual drug dealer lover and an accomplice. The End.
Much of this was actually known at trial. The prosecution did not present it because one of the murderers dropped a dime on the other, and the question of whether a homicide occurred had nothing to do with sexual preference. The jury did not have to debate whether Matthew Shepard was denied his civil rights, which had little importance compared to the fact he was dead. Of course, that didn't stop people like the folks at The Advocate from advancing a false narrative for their own purposes. Considering the other crimes against nature they "advocate," it is one of their lesser crimes...
Even if this new assertion were true, the homosexual lobby has gotten all of the traction out of the story over the years that it needed to ensure that sexual preference is now firmly and permanently embedded as a civil right in our culture.

I believe that phenomenon is also known as "close enough for government work."
