Vintage Hate Hoax: Jonathan Lopez

This Vintage Hate Hoax originally appeared on Moonbattery July 8, 2020:

One of the many privileges enjoyed by Persons of Color is that if their ambitions are not getting enough traction, they can promote themselves by pretending to be victimized by hate. The downside is that, as Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace learned, hoaxes are sometimes revealed, unmasking the perpetrator as a contemptible fraud. Today’s case in point is Oregon’s Jonathan Lopez, a candidate for Umatilla County Commissioner. Continue reading

Vintage Hate Hoax: Isaih Martin

This Vintage Hate Hoax originally appeared on Moonbattery July 11, 2020:

It is now considered hate speech to say that all lives matter, since implying that black lives do not matter more than other lives contradicts prevailing leftist dogma. But even as the definition of hate speech expands, social justice warriors cannot find bigotry against anyone other than whites and have to resort to hoaxes. The racism drought is so severe that Student of Color Isaih Martin was reduced to scribbling “All Lives Matter” on a note, attaching it along with other notes to the windshield of his car, and then claiming someone else did it.

Return of the Hate Hoax List

In response to popular demand, the Hate Hoax List has been restored.

No informed person still takes at face value the many accusations of hate incidents against favored identity groups. Despite this, and despite having achieved political hegemony, moonbats continue to engage in constant hoaxes in an attempt to prop up the bogus narrative of oppression that is intended to validate the liberal establishment’s rule.

The original Hate Hoax List was taken down because the hundreds of posts it listed were removed during a major overhaul of the site. Over time, these posts too will be restored. They will appear as vintage hate hoax stories, provided there is interest.

Every time a shocking allegation of racism/homophobia/Islamophobia/etc turns out to be baseless, the media drops it like a hot brick down the memory hole. Having a second look at bygone hoaxes serves as a reminder of how incessantly progressives fabricate bigotry where there is none, confirming the phoniness of their ideology. More importantly, it is fun to have a second laugh at wokesters’ contrived paranoia and the ineptitude of their hoaxes.

Scott Weiner Hate Hoax

Belligerently homosexual California State Senator Scott Weiner is known for introducing the bill that made California a sanctuary state for the sexual mutilation of children and another that reduced the crime of knowingly infecting others with HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor, as well as for suggesting that drag queen story hours should be a mandatory part of K-12 education. Add to his list of misdeeds a hate hoax:

On Tuesday, conservative pundit Charlie Kirk made a Twitter thread pointing the finger at Weiner for contributing to the release of “thousands of pedophiles” in California “after just a few months in jail.”

Read more on California releasing child rapists after only token jail time here. This tweet leads to Kirk’s thread:

Weiner responded to the thread with a screen cap of a threat he claimed it inspired…

Except, there’s a cursor at the bottom of the message, and grammar suggestions are underlined – leading many to accuse the California lawmaker of faking the entire thing.

Point and laugh at the egg running down the hate hoaxer’s face:

Caught with his limp-wristed hand in the cookie jar, Weiner then claimed that he received the threat as a phone message and typed it. However, no one could hear his explanation above the laughter.

Once again, we see that the victimhood of militant sexual deviants is fake, and that it is a cudgel with which they attempt to beat others into submission.

Apparent Hate Hoaxer Charged With Arson

Hate hoaxes aren’t only about increasing awareness of problems that do not exist. Sometimes it comes down to cold hard cash. Consider the case of San Diego County’s Avonte Hartsfield, who received over $100,000 in GoFundMe donations after his food truck Rollin Roots was burned up. He now finds himself on the hot seat:

Hartsfield was convinced someone did it on purpose, especially since he said the office where he parked his truck in Kearny Mesa [central San Diego] was trashed the week before. He also found what he said was a noose hanging on his office door, and as a Black man, he said he felt targeted.

Who are we to argue with his lived experience?

The truck was burned last October…

Then in March, Hartfield posted on the fundraiser page that he learned the fire was not arson or vandalism, but was caused by an electrical mishap. He offered refunds to donors.

Too late. In addition to arson, he has been charged with grand theft for duping GoFundMe chumps out of their money.

He also is charged with three other felonies that include defrauding and presenting a false claim to the company that insured his truck.

Al Sharpton launched a highly lucrative career on the back of a hate hoax, but they don’t always pay off. Ask Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace, both of whom reduced themselves to public laughing stocks by indulging in hate hoaxes.

Noose Nonsense at Obama Presidential Center

Hate hoaxes involving alleged nooses no longer pass the laugh test, even if they are found on the construction site of a temple devoted to worship of the Moonbat Messiah himself:

I wonder if the noose they found is the same one Jussie Smollett wore around his neck for some time after it was allegedly placed there in the middle of the night during a snowstorm by the Trump supporters who we were expected to believe rule the streets of Chicago.

If not, it might have been the noose psycho PC bully/Black Lives Matter activist/NASCAR Driver of Color Bubba Wallace found in his garage. No wait, that was just a door pull.

Maybe it was the noose that oppressed two black professors at Penn State University. No, that turned out to be part of a swing set.

Could it be the noose that inflicted hate upon a construction site at Central Connecticut State University? Apparently not, since that was just a steel loop in a construction cable.

Then it must have been one of the nooses unleashed against Persons of Color at Stanford. No again; those were loops in what had apparently once been part of an abandoned swing or rope ladder.

Despite the Obama center noose being at worst a prank, and almost certainly either a hate hoax or just an innocent piece of rope,

Lakeside Alliance, the company building the $830 million dollar presidential center, told the New York Post it immediately halted construction and notified police after a noose was discovered at the worksite on Thursday morning.

Lakeside alliance is offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit who left a piece of rope at a construction site, where rope tied in all sorts of knots can often be found all over the place. Fools and their money…

Democrat demagoguery went straight to fifth gear:

The Obama Foundation told the New York Post the incident was “a shameless act of cowardice” and Illinois’ Democratic Gov. J.B Pritzker called it “a heart-stopping reminder of the violence and terror inflicted on Black Americans for centuries.”

Panted Pritzker,

“I condemn this act of hate in the strongest possible terms, and the state of Illinois will make all needed resources available to help catch the perpetrators.”

Meanwhile, actual criminals in Chicago are allowed to run riot.

You would think the media would brandish the noose triumphantly as evidence in support of its narrative. But I can only find pictures of a nondescript coil of rope stuffed in a trash bag.

Guess the Race of the Black Church Burner

The burning of black churches that Bill Clinton lied about vividly and painfully remembering from his youth in Arkansas is actually happening now in Mississippi:

Authorities say a suspect was arrested Tuesday in a string of fires that were deliberately set across Jackson, Mississippi that left two historically Black churches damaged — including one that was completely destroyed.

Hinds County Sheriff’s Office deputies say the arson suspect, Delvin McLaurin, was arrested after seven fires were intentionally set early Tuesday morning in the area of Jackson State University, a historically Black public university.

The USA Today report does not disclose the race of the suspect, but leads readers to make an assumption by including a statement by thankfully defeated Shuwaski Young, Congressional Candidate of Color (D-MS):

“This morning several churches were burned in Jackson, Mississippi on Election Day,” the statement read. “These cowardly actions invoke historical acts of terrorism when people are fighting for their right to vote and live peacefully as Americans and Mississippians. We will not be deterred and will not be intimidated. We will not allow domestic terrorists to suppress our right to vote. I ask all Mississippians to go vote regardless of this decades old intimidation tactic to suppress our votes today. Just go vote.”

Other moonbats predictably piled on, euphoric to find support for their toxic narrative:

• “The layers of racist symbolism associated with burning churches… in Mississippi… on Election Day. When will this country wake up? This makes me incredibly sad…” one commenter added. “I’m guessing the terrorist/arsonist who did this thinks they’re a Christian and a patriot.”

• “… this what the SCLC fought against, the same white-hooded cowards are a product of 45’s GOP, the most racist, corrupt treasonous administration in White House, anti-[Semitism], racism is their platform,” another user said. “This act today says it all.”

• “This is beyond hideous. The hypocrisy is off the charts, too,” another commenter said. “The burning was probably carried out by people who profess to be Christians.”

• “Domestic white supremacist terrorists will not suppress Democratic voters from voting!” another commenter declared. “But Still, Like Air We Rise …”

How liberals would love to have evidence that when they screech like banshees about voter suppression, they are not just trying to get us to shut up about election fraud.

However, by now you have guessed what USA Today does not want you to know regarding McLaurin’s race:

McLaurin has been charged with felony malicious mischief and may face additional charges. As he has not been found guilty and his motives are not known, he does not yet qualify for induction into the Hate Hoax Hall of Shame. But USA Today sure does.
