My thought is to falsify a claim like this should be classified as a hate crime. He lied that it was 2 white men. That were Trump supporters. I was in the Navy Seabee's. I have seen a lot of racism. Every nationality has a racism against somebody. It is very sad.

Now it's turning out that Mr. Smollett was upset that a previous "hate letter" sent to his employer did not receive the level of attention that he thought it should have received.

(This is aside from the rumor that Mr. Smollett himself may have sent the "hate letter" for reasons unknown.)

Sorry about that. I've instructed my friends to be more careful with the info they give me.

PS: This whole episode has nothing to do with the Right, the Left, or the Media. It has everything to do with one man's butt-hurt over being granted less credibility than he thinks he should have. Ironically, now that his lies have been exposed, whatever little credibility he had has now evaporated. I doubt that Robin Givens or even Oprah Winfrey will touch him now!!

Another words instead of having “Trump Derangement syndrome” the actor appearently used Trump Derangement syndrome for his own ends.

One fake hate crime by a third-rate actor seeking attention, sympathy and free publicity does not make all hate crimes fake. And if he thinks that anyone will employ him now -- for even a non-speaking walk-on role -- he had better wake up and seek another line of work.

So these radical people will do anything to perpetuate what they want like "hate crime". Who cares if you think it's only a small minority.

Obviously, YOU do, or you would not have submitted a reply to my post.

Sadly, it takes only a small minority to make the majority of real victims look fake.

Fortunately, Smollett is only beginning to experience the results of his deceptions. He is likely experiencing ostracism by his peers, scorn from his friends, and rejection from potential employers. He'll be lucky to be in a three-second audience shot during an infomercial for high-colonic treatments!

Good riddance.

To the OP: Spoken by someone who's never been the target of a hate crime . Lucky you. How much longer will your luck hold out if you keep posting hate on-line?

For second time in two years, racist slur at Kansas State was a hoax, police say

For the second time in two years, the person who reported a written racist slur found on or near Kansas State University has admitted that it was a hoax, police said.

Officers on Monday received a report of “a note using a racial slur posted on a door in the Jardine Apartment Complex,” K-State police said Thursday in a news release on Facebook.

“Upon questioning, the person who reported the incident admitted to creating and posting the note to their own door,” K-State police said. “The matter will be addressed in accordance with applicable disciplinary procedures.”

The case marks the second time that police in Manhattan determined the person who reported an incident involving the N-word admitted to investigators that they fabricated it. In November 2017, Riley County police said that a man admitted he painted racist slurs on his own car.

Okay, I'll make the question simpler:

You ask: "how much longer until you (the OP) are the victim of a crime because of what you post online?"

What kind of answer do you want to that question?

Any answer would suit me...The OP sounds more like a BOT. Just waiting to see if it passes or fails the Turing test.

So? We all know this. Maybe you could start your own news-site just to de-bunk politically-slanted news reports.

Fortunately the mainstream news organisations are coming under more and more scrutiny as people get more and more aggravated by what they're doing.

Not that I'm going to, but in the fantasy World where I run a news organisation, it would be a feel good news organisation, with stories of human progress, interesting stories, stories of kindness and heroism. Time to start bringing people together instead of driving them apart. Make them feel inspired by what they see on the news instead of depressed.

Yeah, they're okay, Drake. My only beef with them is that there are so few really noteworthy "happy fun time" news stories to publish, that sometimes the same news story will remain on their pages for weeks at a time.
