Who could believe that in this day and age racism against blacks has been discovered — right on a college campus? Yet see what College Fix reports from Kansas State University:

Last week someone showed up at the public university campus holding a sign that read “Say [n-word] win candy.”

He was said to be a white guy wearing blackface. A liberal columnist blamed free speech for this intolerable blasphemy against the woke religion.

“When the Kansas Legislature passed the so-called KIRK Act to prevent colleges and universities from regulating political activism on campus, I warned that lawmakers were rolling out a welcome mat for unsavory characters with even more unsavory messages, causing problems where problems didn’t exist,” Dion Lefler wrote in The Wichita Eagle on Friday.

The KIRK Act, named for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, aims to strengthen free speech rights on campus.

You can see why a lib wouldn’t like it, not even one whose job as a columnist depends on free speech.

Of course Trump was also to blame:

“We now live in MAGA World, where racism is fashionable once again — from the White House to the Statehouse,” he wrote.

To no one’s surprise except possibly Leftler’s I mean Lefler’s, the guy promising candy turns out not to be a Caucasian in blackface but a Person of Politically Preferred Pigmentation. This can be confirmed by looking at the picture accompanying Leftler’s piece.

The “blackface” rumor came from a local NAACP chapter, according to The Kansas State Collegian.

It would be racist to dispute rumors started by the NAACP, but Lefler did almost admit it was a black guy in a following column. He held fast to his attack on the KIRK Act though.

For his role in promoting phony black oppression, Dion Lefler has earned a place on the Hate Hoax List.

On a tip from ML.

Sometimes a hate hoax is not just a single incident but an entire institution — as in the case of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Racism against anyone other than whites is virtually nonexistent in this country. What little there is, the SPLC has been financing to fundraise off of and to shore up its Cultural Marxist ideology.

From the US Department of Justice:

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, [on Tuesday] returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.

There is zero chance these crimes would be punished with leftist apparatchiks like Eric Holder or Merrick Garland running the Justice Department.

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Hilariously, liberal do-gooders have been financing the very hate groups they thought they were fighting. These groups require propping up with SPLC cash because they barely exist outside the fevered imaginations of moonbats.

“The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups – even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes. That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”

Sure looks like criminal behavior to me:

In order to covertly pay the individuals, the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities. The covert nature of the accounts allowed the SPLC to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the individuals. In order to keep the scheme going, the SPLC made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.

Hopefully there will be prison time for some of these sanctimonious scoundrels.

The SPLC is a non-profit organization headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, whose mission, according to its website during the relevant time period, was to be a “catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people.”

Not so nonprofit after all. The Washington Free Beacon reports:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which claims to “dismantle white supremacy,” saw its offshore assets balloon by as much as 430 percent over the last decade.

Financing race hate so as to raise funds to fight it is big business. But the jig is up. Even ostentatiously woke corporations might step away.

This puts a new perspective on the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, a nothingburger Democrats have been hyping for the past decade. Daily Signal reports that the SPLC paid an organizer of the rally $270,000:

Not only was the SPLC paying the person—identified as “F-37” in the indictment—but the leftist group was also supervising F-37’s “racist postings” and helped F-37 “coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees.”

The spectacle was exploited by leftists at the highest levels:

Biden said he decided to run for president after watching the events of Charlottesville. He repeatedly used the event as a cudgel to demonize Trump, and he mentioned going after “white supremacy” in his inaugural address.

Under Democrat rule, the SPLC has functioned as a branch of the government:

When Biden became president in 2021, many federal agencies reached out to the SPLC for advice in combating “the domestic terrorism threat,” or so the SPLC’s then-president told donors. Public documents unearthed by America First Legal confirmed this, showing not only that SPLC staff advised Justice Department prosecutors, but regularly met with leaders at the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

Per Democrats, the domestic terrorism threat does not come from the Islamomaniacs they allow into the country but rather from regular Americans.

Biden would go on to nominate an SPLC attorney to a top federal judgeship. Under him, the FBI’s Richmond office would cite the SPLC in its notorious memo on “radical traditional Catholics.”

Under Democrat rule, you can qualify as a radical traditional Catholic by attending Latin mass. Biden’s DOJ sicced the FBI on such people.

After the White House reportedly helped draft a letter comparing concerned moms and dads to domestic terrorists, the SPLC put parental rights groups like Moms for Liberty on its “hate map” with Klan chapters—and gave the DOJ early access to the report.

The DOJ also sicced the FBI on parents who speak up at school board meetings.

The SPLC not only helped to organize the overblown Charlotte protest but to inspire it by using a map of Confederate monuments to be targeted by liberal thugs:

Antifa agitators, a comparably new phenomenon at the time, had mobilized to protest at the monuments and knocked many of them down. …

Carol Swain, a black former professor at Vanderbilt University who has analyzed white nationalist movements, told me that the SPLC likely knew that attacking Confederate monuments would inspire an event like Charlottesville.

It paid off. During media hype of the Unite the Right rally,

JP Morgan Chase announced it would give $50,000 to the SPLC. Apple CEO Tim Cook pledged $1 million.

Hate hoaxes are like Russian dolls. Charlottesville was in effect a hate hoax within the larger hate hoax of the SPLC, which in turn nestles inside the outer hate hoax that is modern liberalism.

Hate Hoaxes are effective at driving the liberal narrative because the media covers them breathlessly when they first break but ignores later revelations that they are fake. A story from 2021 is a case in point.

Via the Washington Free Beacon:

It alleged that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously “tortured” SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns. A Black Lives Matter activist group charged the local public school district with doing “nothing” to stop “this racially motivated hate crime” as violent protests broke out outside the home of Asher Vann, the white child alleged to have organized the brutal attack.

The media was euphoric:

Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, People magazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story as Humphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann “evil.” The trio appeared on Good Morning America, where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey’s “therapy and private schooling.”

Thuggish activist groups capitalized:

The Next Generation Action Network, a Black Lives Matter-tied group whose leader alleged Humphrey was “tortured for days” by his white assailants, organized public marches that drew hundreds of protesters.

Thankfully they refrained from burning down Plano.

Vann told the Free Beacon that none of the media outlets that covered the story in 2021 reached out to hear his side of events, even as their coverage incited nationwide outrage that led to violent protests outside his home.

Again we see that the liberal establishment is in the business of activism, not information. That is, they are thugs too, as surely as BLM types. Don Lemon’s raid on a church during service represents the inevitable next step.

And then, a little under five years later, a racially diverse Texas jury—including four black members—ruled the whole thing was a hoax.

As usual with Black Lives Matter, the ideological malice was laced with sheer greed:

[T]he jury determined that Cole and Smith cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and to rake in money through GoFundMe.

Sadly, this will not cause liberals to regard hate hoaxes with skepticism. Snug inside their bubble of mainstream media misinformation, they will never know it was all a scam.

Some hate hoaxes are fabricated out of whole cloth, others from a few threads of basically nothing:

University of California Los Angeles police have not “identified” any leads as part of its “hate crime” investigation into “wads of paper” thrown at someone, a spokeswoman told The College Fix.

This is what the belligerently victimized have campus police wasting their time on in crime-ravaged Los Angeles:

“On 12/24/24, at approximately 6:00PM, the victim was walking westbound on the north sidewalk of Weyburn Avenue as a black convertible with four occupants drove up next to the victim,” a UCLA Police Department crime alert stated. The police listed the attack as an “assault,” The Fix previously reported.

This qualifies as assault if the purported victim is “oppressed” — i.e., a member of a favored identity group:

“One of the occupants yelled a homophobic slur, and another occupant threw wads of paper at the victim,” the department previously announced. The victim, who is a UCLA student, “was not struck” by the paper.

The perpetrators, believed to be “White or Middle Eastern males” have not been apprehended according to an update UCLA gave The Fix.

The oppressed victim can take solace that maybe one day these fiends will be brought to justice.

As noted previously:

According to the moonbat antireligion, anything even vaguely resembling a noose symbolizes black oppression, as if only blacks were ever hanged. This makes pulling hate hoaxes so easy, even Bubba Wallace can do it. Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again innocent loops are presented as racist nooses. By now, all but the most laughable liberals roll their eyes at shrieks of hysteria over imaginary nooses having been found.

There is still no shortage of laughable liberals. Noose hysteria continues even now:

Nashville police are investigating after a rope tied like a noose was found hanging from the ceiling at the new Nissan Stadium construction site on July 17.

Nissan Stadium is home to the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. It has been undergoing renovation.

Liberal establishment ideology is grounded in the narrative of black oppression. In a desperate attempt to find support for it, any ligature is portrayed as a noose, in the belief that nooses were only ever used to oppress blacks. This makes racist nooses a common feature at construction sites.

Tennessee Builders Alliance, a coalition of Nissan Stadium builders, said they sent workers home and called police after finding the noose.

“This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hate or racism in our workplace,” TBA officials said.

A reward has been offered for whoever rats out the guy who probably unwittingly left a rope with a slipknot in it. Let’s hope they don’t lynch him.

Contrast the $250,000 reward with the $20,000 reward offered to help capture Travis Decker, who allegedly murdered his three young children.

The actual culprits at Nissan Stadium are the virtue-signaling liberals who pretend every ligature is a racist noose. They are guilty of hate-hoaxing.
