A racist social media post advertising a fraternity party sparked outrage at a North Carolina university and death threats against the white student supposedly behind it.
Now, it appears the post was a hoax carried out by a black student from another fraternity.
The message first appeared on the anonymous social media site Yik Yak and promoted a Theta Chi party with one ugly stipulation: "no blacks."
According to WITN-TV, the name and number of Theta Chi member Austin Hunter were included in the post.
"To be accused of something that I didn't do, that really sucks," Hunter told WITN. "My name and number were posted in the college newspaper, and I was being harassed with calls and texts and I even received death threats."
Although Yik Yak allows posters to remain anonymous, it logs detailed information about who is using its service -- and how.
A Greenville Police Department investigation quickly landed on James Edwards, a member of the rival Pi Lambda Phi fraternity.
According to the Greenville Daily Reflector, Edwards was booked on Oct. 1 on a charge of cyberstalking.

Did the death threats actually stop when the police “discovered the truth” ?
The story is out there and the retraction will be in section D page 7 lower right corner in tiny font.
Color me stunned.
Every. Single. Time.
Are there any of these which are NOT hoaxss?
Once upon a time, crying wolf led to folks NOT buying the story. Sure doesn’t seem to be the case these days. MSL is SOOOOOO freakin’ easy. Because they want it to be true. Nothing like promoting divisiveness.
The message is more important than the facts of the story. Or so we’re being told.
Remember, pedo joe told us if it was a choice between ‘truth’ and ‘facts’, they would choose ‘truth’. SMDH!
spread that link ... viral ...
Same old story, if ya can’t find any racism, just make some up!
Seems like 95% or more end up being hoaxes perpetrated by a black person.
Systemic white racism is so rare, it has to be made-up to prove it really exists.
Doxing never stops.
Most ‘hate crimes’ are fake.
You’re right - story on front page above the fold - retraction on page four left side bottom...
By the way people you need to remember it is racist to report a black person for committing a hate hoax.
In fact the only reason the police pursued this was because they’re racist and wanted to protect the white victim.
Well yeah.
Dear liberak Marxists, please, Keep right on hoaxing. Pretty soon, whenever we see a supposed racist event, we all Will automatically write it off as just another hoax. You all,on the left might wanna read the story “the boy who cried wolf” for a real life-lesson on the effects of hoaxing.
If you all wanna not be taken seriously about anything anymore, then do keep right on falsely accusing people of racism. Folks have been patiently enduring the false claims for decades now, but pretty soon they won’t even bother taking any claims seriously anymore
