It took a while, but Crystal Mangum has finally come clean:

Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006.

“They trusted me that I wouldn’t betray their trust, and I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong,” [Mangum] told the independent media outlet Let’s Talk With Kat at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women.

“[I] made up a story that wasn’t true.”

Mangum was not the only one to victimize Duke lacrosse players David Evans, Collin Finnerty, and Reade Seligmann:

The case garnered national attention and the tension was fueled when former Durham County district attorney Mike Nifong said in a March 2006 interview with CBS News that “there’s no doubt a sexual assault took place” and that the assault was “racially motivated.”

Congratulations to Crystal Mangum for turning to God and asking forgiveness. Now let’s see the politically driven Nifong do the same.

The North Carolina State Bar disbarred Nifong in June 2007 for lying in court and withholding DNA evidence that would have helped absolve the defendants.

Duke also has plenty to apologize for, after reflexively siding with Mangum against the innocent players. By now there have been enough hate hoaxes that this reflex is inexcusable. Yet it persists in academia.

Those crazy college kids. Don’t they know that blackface is unacceptable — even on Uncle Sam?

From September:

Colorado State University says it is investigating a report of a “racially insensitive” banner on display outside a fraternity house near the Fort Collins campus.

Photos surfaced this week of a banner with an invitation to rush the fraternity apparently hanging above the doors of the fraternity house, 709 Wagner Drive — a drawing of Uncle Sam with what appears to be blackface paint on the face and hand, with the words: “We want you to rush Lambda Chi.”

Blackface used to be part of mainstream American culture. Al Jolson, once the most popular singer in the country, is remembered for it. However, blackface is now regarded as blasphemy on a par with white people saying the forbidden n-word.

It is doubtful that fraternities would really portray Uncle Sam in blackface. The apparent blackface has been attributed to the effects of rain and lighting on the poster.

However, CSU student Corey Valentine made an issue of it. He took multiple photos and videos to document the alleged thoughtcrime:

Valentine then filed an incident of bias report with the university around 2:30 a.m. and received a follow-up email from a spokesperson around 8 a.m. Valentine returned to the entrance of the house at around 5 a.m. to find the flag removed.

You get fast action from educrats when it comes to stamping out imaginary racism. But this was not good enough for Valentine, who evidently wanted scalps:

Valentine also posted his findings to the social media site YikYak, where doubts about the authenticity of the photos quickly circulated. After posting the photos to his personal Instagram account, Valentine and another student, Matthew Bishop, met with members from the Black/African American Cultural Center, The Collegian and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Lambda Chi Alpha submissively recited the usual incantations in praise of diversity and inclusion. Months later, it continues to apologize for offending someone who went out of his way to bully them by taking offense over nothing. That’s what hate hoaxes are all about.

The rest of the fraudsters on the Hate Hoax List are pikers compared to Jasmine Latrice Willie of Washington State. She has been arrested for applying phony racist crybullying on an industrial scale for profit:

Willie allegedly carried out a large-scale scamming effort in which she would stroll into businesses and tell employees that she had spoken with management and was owed a refund, the News Tribune reported. She would then demand that the cashier give her money.

By aggressively brandishing her politically preferred pigmentation, she has allegedly hauled in thousands of dollars with scams like this:

On Aug. 14, 2023, Willie allegedly entered a Daiso store in Lakewood and informed the employee that she had a video of the assistant manager being racist. According to prosecutors, she asserted that she would publish the video on Facebook if she did not receive a refund.

…and this:

In another incident on Aug. 17, 2023, Willie allegedly requested a refund of $414 from a Dutch Bros in Lakewood. Prosecutors said that she claimed the manager authorized the refund after receiving “racial remarks” from an employee. The refund was issued to her in cash by the employee she scammed.

What is an employee to do, stand up to an alleged victim of racial oppression? Who would dare?

Hard to believe that on a college campus in the year 2024, someone would hold down a young athlete with one hand and carve the forbidden n-word into his chest with the other. Unsurprisingly, it appears not to be true:

A freshman swimmer at Gettysburg College, identified and confirmed by The College Fix as Aidan Ochoa, had the slur etched into his body by a teammate. The incident in September made national headlines and caused controversy and concern…

The family also decried the incident as a hate crime to the student newspaper, saying “our son became the victim of a hate crime.”

Ochoa really did have the forbidden word etched on his chest. But that doesn’t mean there was a hate crime.

A video on TikTok, along with other comments online, allege Ochoa consented to the attack, possibly under the influence of alcohol.

Ochoa and his family have declined to report the incident to local law enforcement, despite the advice of the Pennsylvania college.

The family has even been blowing off the NAACP.

Both Ochoa and the suspected n-word etcher were kicked off the swim team. President Bob Iuliano calls the case “complicated and nuanced” — Liberalese for BS.

According to a student, Ochoa wanted everyone to know he qualifies as a favored “person of color,” even if he is only a quadroon, and asked for the word to be etched.

[A] Gettysburg College source alleged Ochoa was actually “flaunting” the n-word to teammates, but then changed his story once upperclassmen reported the incident, for fear he would get in trouble.

That’s when the party trick gone wrong became a hate hoax.

No one is too rich and powerful to pull a hate hoax — not even prominent media figures like Whoopi Goldberg:

Goldberg claimed that a historic bakery on Staten Island wouldn’t fill a dessert request that she’d made because the business didn’t like her politics.

The View host used her bully pulpit to take revenge by complaining to the world on Wednesday.

Even though Goldberg didn’t name the bakery, its unique packaging identified the source as Holtermann’s, and word about Goldberg’s displeasure quickly spread.

The reason the family-owned 146-year-old bakery couldn’t fill her large fancy order was that their boiler was being replaced.

Public response was not what Whoopi anticipated:

By Friday, there was a long line outside of the bakery on Arthur Kill Road well before it opened at 7:30 a.m. Long lines remained throughout the day until closing time at 6 p.m.

The business almost completely sold out of its stock. Its staff baked non-stop, all day.

Donations to the bakery have poured in from all around the country. Bullying by liberal elitists like Whoopi Goldberg is getting old, no matter how they may snarl that they are victims.

Liberals like to portray elections as a conflict between the politically correct and sinister racists. For evidence, they might turn to last year’s mayoral race in Colorado Springs:

In the early morning hours of April 23, 2023, a burning cross in front a campaign sign for then-candidate Yemi Mobolade was found at the intersection of Union and Fillmore. The sign had been defaced with a racial slur.

Mobolade is not merely a Person of Politically Preferred Pigmentation but a native of Nigeria.

The burning cross was good to be true from the moonbat point of view. Sure enough — it was staged:

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado (USAOC) now says the entire scene was a hoax, intended to make citizens think that there was a group of racists in Colorado Springs strongly opposed to a Black mayoral candidate.

In a news release Tuesday, the USAOC announced 35-year-old Derrick Bernard Jr., 40-year-old Ashley Blackcloud, and 38-year-old Deanna West had been indicted by a grand jury for their “maliciously conveying false information about a threat made by means of fire” and “their alleged roles in a conspiracy to spread disinformation about the threat.”

The culprits needn’t feel too bad. Mobolade won the election, and they won a place on the Hate Hoax List.

On a tip from Varla.

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. Yet the idiocy continues:

Gilbane Building Company and Turner Construction Company, the general contractors for the new Buffalo Bills stadium project, suspended construction on the project on Tuesday to investigate an incident. …

Gilbane-Turner said it received a report of what could have been perceived as a symbol of hate at the site.

As usual, law enforcement was called in to make a pageant of the threat posed by the alleged noose.

Orchard Park police said an officer responded and the investigation found that the suspected hate symbol was actually an industry-approved knot commonly used by iron workers. …

Gilbane-Turner said their initial investigation also found it was not a symbol of hate.

But at least the hysteria raised awareness of the imaginary racism problem and allowed Gilbane-Turner to strike a righteous pose with a public statement:

We immediately reported the incident to the police, suspended work on-site, and launched an investigation to send a clear message about how seriously we take this matter. … Gilbane|Turner maintains zero tolerance for racism and hate. We will continue to collaborate with our trade partners and unions to make it clear to every person [blah blah blah].

The governor’s office released a statement praising the hysterical reaction.

We are expected to believe that KKK types leave nooses lying around in order to… do what? Validate Critical Race Theory? Generate sympathy for blacks? If supposed nooses were not seen as supporting woke ideology, moonbats would not keep pretending to find them.
