selective enforcement and prosecution of the law used to be a crime...

Two black students at Salisbury University drew a stick figure hanging from a noose on a whiteboard in the taxpayer-funded school’s library, police say. The image also featured the word “Nigger!” (with the exclamation point) and the hashtag #WhitePower.
The hoax incident caused great calamity on the 8,657-student campus in Salisbury, Md. The Salisbury University Police Department initiated a hate-crime investigation. However, upon learning that the unidentified students are black, authorities chose to file no charges, reports The Daily Times, a local newspaper.
The racist image appeared inside Blackwell Library on April 10, around the time of the school’s eighth annual “Stop Hatin'” week, which centers on diversity and acceptance.
On Tuesday, school officials announced that two students responsible for the image are black. Officials cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law, as their rationale for not naming the students.
Administrators criticized the racist drawing.
“Regardless of who created the drawing, we find such actions demeaning to all members of the campus community and against our core values,” Salisbury U. media relations director Richard Culver lamented, according to the Times.
Culver noted that the unnamed students may still face discipline by school officials. The exact nature of the discipline is unclear.

Why no charges ?
The intent was to raise racial hatred. Charge them. Expel them.
Identified yet unnamed, and uncharged.
Only whites are racist
These people can’y even pull off a hoax how would they ever contribute to our society after graduating from such a “prestigious” college?
Whew. If it weren’t for hoaxes,
we’d have no hate crimes at all.
How do they know htis black student doesn’t hate other black people? Who got to decide that he doesn’t hate other black people? IF someone gets to decide that He doesn’t- do they also get to decide if a white student drawing a noose doesn’t hate black people? And how did they determine the stick figure was black? Perhaps it was a figure of a cartoon character? Am effigy of Freddy Kruger- or or or- how did they even determine the figure was black?
That’s the problem with subjective interpretations- Someone must ASSUME that something must represent whatever they decide it represents if the actual facts are unclear-
I’m shocked!
selective enforcement and prosecution of the law used to be a crime...
one more point- how do we know the black student didn’t draw the stick figure intending it to represent a white guy who was murdered? Are only white peopel accused of racism?
YOU WHITES IS SHIFTLESS, WORTHLESS, GOOD-FER-NOTHING!! Us black folks even hafta go out and commit y’all’s hate crimes for y’all!
How you ‘spect we can celebrate End Hate Week if’n y’all won’t be doing your part by givin’ us some hate?
Hope they are thrown out of the university.
So it’s only a crime if the perps are white?
Really?
That’s kind of racist isn’t it?
Isn’t Obamaland great? :)
May?
OK, let's see.
Culver noted that the unnamed white students may still face discipline by school officials.
Does anyone think THAT would ever be the case?
EVER?
It gets better...
As at many campuses around the country, minority students at Salisbury U. have complained recently about race issues. In November, a group of students met with Eshbach to discuss their grievances. The encounter did not go well. The students walked out after reading a letter to the school president.
“As students of color, WE DO NOT” — that part was in all-caps — “point fingers nor cast blame for the lack of awareness and understanding in regards to the black experience here at Salisbury University,” the missive said, according to the Times.
Actually "point(ing) fingers nor and cast(ing) blame" is all I ever see the "students of color" do.
Since the entire "diversity and acceptance" propaganda is a total scam to disguise an overall deficiency of core values and moral compass thus providing a crutch in the form of "victim" status to "students of color" I totally reject it.
Or in a concise form, it's a load of crap.

And you calling me colored??
When I born, I black.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When I sick, I black.
And when I die, I still black.
And you white people.
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey…
And you calling me colored?

This posting on redbubble claims it was by an African child- I heard a black comedian say the same thing a few years ago- so I’m not sure who actually said it first- but it’s still funny-
[[Hope they are thrown out of the university.]]
That would be racist
