Often hate hoaxes are used by neurotics to generate sympathy or by liberal ideologues to raise awareness of a problem that does not exist. Other times, hoaxes have more practical applications — like to win elections:

Fort Bend County [Texas] Judge KP George, a top elected official in the suburban Houston county, won a 2022 re-election bid against his Republican opponent, Trever Nehls.

A warrant obtained by KHOU 11 shows that George’s cellular devices suggested he had been communicating with a fellow employee who used a fake Facebook account under the name ‘Antonio Scalywag’ to interact with the judge’s posts and leave racist comments.

No wonder they call it “Fakebook.” Sometimes it seems nothing on it can be taken at face value.

George is accused … of working hand in hand with his former chief of staff, Taral Patel, who was employed as a consultant for George’s re-election campaign in 2022.

Evidence from the obtained warrant suggests that Patel was the one leaving the racist comments – all with permission from the judge.

George was born in India. Not being American gives the Democrat an advantage that he got carried away exploiting.

He was first elected as a county judge in 2018 and became the first person of color to ever serve as a judge in Fort Bend.

Very historic. Also, George is the first Texas judge born in India to achieve a position on the Hate Hoax List.

As a rule, a rope is just a rope. But an innocuous rope can be put to a pernicious political purpose:

Earlier this week, a “staff member” at Sherwood High School “discovered a small rope tied in a manner resembling a noose, draped over the fence surrounding the school’s tennis courts,” according to an email from the principal, republished by MocoShow.

The Ashton-Sandy Spring [Maryland] high school quickly contacted police.

Over a piece of rope. Because it had a knot in it, which theoretically the KKK might have tied.

After making a federal case out of it, authorities predictably found there was no racist intent behind the innocent piece of rope that they had seized on as a pretext to indulge in weaponized hysteria. Yet Principal Timothy Britton writes:

“While our investigation determined that the individuals involved did not intend to communicate a racist or anti-Black message, the impact of such imagery is deeply harmful and cannot be understated. We recognize how disturbing and upsetting this symbol can be, particularly to our Black community members, and we are treating this matter with the utmost seriousness.”

This is ominous:

“We are now in the process of determining appropriate consequences in accordance with the [Montgomery County Public Schools] Student Code of Conduct.”

Imagine how fast educrats would string up an actual anti-black racist, if they ever encountered one.

On a tip from Matt L.

According to leftist ideology, privileged identity groups are somehow oppressed no matter how obsequiously they are catered to. The hate hoaxes used to prop up this absurd notion can be applied to hardball politics. For example, a militant moonbat named Hashim Coates claims that a mom at a school board meeting gripped his shoulder and called him a “dumb n*****.”

National Review has the story:

The alleged assault against Coates occurred last August, amid impassioned debates over increasing school violence in Denver, and outcry from parents over changes to the district’s discipline polices, which the board watered down in the name of racial justice. Many parents at the time were also incensed over the firing of a popular principal who spoke out publicly about his concerns about security and faced charges of racism for trying to keep a student charged with attempted murder out of his middle school.

Coates is a belligerent proponent of the “racial justice” position.

Predictably, the school board took his preposterous allegation seriously.

“It is never okay, never, for a white person to walk up to a black person and use that racial slur,” said Xochitl Gaytan, the board’s then-president.

Not good enough for Coates:

He filed a report with Denver police, repeating his charge that the white parent, Kristen Fry, had touched him and called him a racial slur.

This being Denver, a city undergoing ruin by moonbats,

The police criminally cited Fry, and the city attorney upped the charges after Coates’s protestations. Coates receive a restraining order, which hampered Fry’s ability to engage in school-board politics. Fry was barred from volunteering at her kids’ school. She was publicly humiliated. She was forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers.

You can guess the rest of the story. Surveillance video that the school tried to suppress confirms Coates has been lying through his teeth.

Fry, who herself participated in a racial-justice march after the death of George Floyd, claims Coates was being disruptive during the meeting and she simply urged him to be respectful.

Here’s why she dared try to have a word with him:

Throughout the meeting, Coates and [his ally, local activist and political consultant MiDian] Shofner were distracting and intimidating speakers, including children, Fry said. They coughed and laughed at people, and called speakers they disagreed with “white supremacist” and “racist”…

Coates offers insight into what Fry marched for during the Black Lives Matter craze:

While he is a regular at Denver school-board meetings, Coates is no concerned parent; he doesn’t appear to be a parent at all. Rather, he is a far-left political activist with a checkered past and a history of weaponizing allegations of racism.

An incident from a few years previously offers insight into his character:

[H]e fired a gun at the vehicle of the male prostitute he’d met on Backpage.com, and then refused to fully cooperate with police investigators.

There were multiple people in the car at the time.

After the December 2016 shooting, Coates confessed to police that he’d contacted the man for a sexual encounter — he acknowledged that he’d been meeting men online for hook-ups for over a decade, according to police reports. When he refused to pay the prostitute, the man stole his iPad, and demanded money for its return.

Police say Coates is a serial “no-pay” john.

His moral character is consistent with the Black Lives Matter platform and milieu. Fry’s is not. At least there will be a silver lining from this appalling story if she has learned a lesson.

Hate hoaxes are primarily used to raise awareness of phenomena that exist in moonbat doctrine but not in real life. However, false accusations directed against the politically incorrect identity group can have other purposes — such as to help a murderer mislead police:

A man allegedly stabbed his 14-year-old girlfriend multiple times at a Minnesota park before slitting her throat, giving her a hug and knifing her one more time in the back.

Isaac Arthur Arndt, 18, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Jaelyn Walker in Moorhead…

At first he told an improbable tale to police:

Arndt walked into to the Clay County Law Enforcement Center around 11 p.m. Aug. 19 to report an assault. He had two cuts on his fingers. Arndt claimed he and Jaelyn were at Gooseberry Park when an “unknown white male” started following them. He said as he ran away, the man attacked him with a knife, per the affidavit.

Journalists might have been eager to believe him and blame the murder on the mysterious pale-skinned miscreant. Cops are less gullible.

Soon Arndt fessed up to killing Jaelyn.

Moonbats have not consolidated power yet if they still feel the need to pull hate hoaxes. From Cottleville, Missouri:

Parent Mitchell Long reported finding a noose in a bathroom near the Francis Howell Central High School football stadium last week. …

“Too many of our black and brown babies have those struggles in our schools,” Long told KSDK 5.

If that were true, they wouldn’t resort to hoaxes to justify their privileged victim status.

“After extensive conversations and investigation, we do not believe this to be a racially-motivated incident,” the district stated last Friday, according to KDSK 5.

No one will look harder than educrats to find white wickedness. They even called in the police to help look. Screeched Principal Suzanne Leake when the alleged noose was produced:

“While there were no words or notes to accompany the noose, we are partnering with law enforcement to investigate this as a potential hate crime.”

Nooses are inherently racist because only black people have ever been hanged — or at least, they are the only people who have been hanged who matter.

That the authorities determined there to be no racism involved strongly suggests this was a hoax. Nonetheless, the district took the occasion to formally proclaim the following:

“The Francis Howell School District will not tolerate hate or racially-motivated violence in our schools or on our campuses.”

At least the alleged noose raised awareness of nonexistent black oppression, like Bubba Wallace’s garage door pull.

St. Charles County NAACP President Zebrina Looney [no really, that’s her name; pronouns: she/her] dismissed the investigation’s results and blamed the school board for having “emboldened racists,” according to First Alert 4.

Crybullies will crybully, unencumbered by reality.

The same school district previously paid a critical race theorist from the University of Missouri to “create an African-American history course and consult on racial issues,” The Fix reported in 2021.

So the school actually does embolden racists.

Hate hoaxes have a political subtext, because the intent is usually to prop up the Cultural Marxist ideology of the Democratic Party, according to which the core population is bad because it is mean to those who belong to identity groups outside the norm. Rarely though is the connection to politics this direct:

A Democratic candidate who blamed former President Donald Trump and other Republicans for “Hinduphobic” messages sent to him on social media was arrested after an investigation found that he had sent them himself.

The foiled hoaxer is Taral Patel, a commissioner candidate in Fort Bend County, Texas.

The Democrat was booked on a third-degree felony charge of online impersonation and a misdemeanor charge of misrepresentation of identity for sending himself racist messages after an investigation by the Fort Bend District Attorney’s Public Integrity Division and the Texas Rangers.

Integrity and Democrats are like oil and water.

Patel had secured his party’s nomination. Unsurprisingly, he previously worked in the Biden Administration.

Please welcome Taral Patel to the Hate Hoax List.

The scariest thing about AI is that it is a product of Big Tech, which like the news media is one of the most militantly woke sectors of society. Like Google’s erasure of Caucasians, a hate hoax in Baltimore offers a preview of how it will be used.

When audio circulated on social media supposedly of Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert saying unflattering things about blacks, local media worked the public into a lather, even broadcasting footage of the front of Eiswert’s home. Police were called in to prevent violence at the school.

It was implied that Eiswert’s thought crimes were too horrible to air on television. But the racist rant could be heard on social media:

The improbable story was too good for the media to check. Eventually, AI experts checked it anyway — and found this:

[T]he audio was generated by an AI program that’s extremely simple to use. All you would have to do is upload a short audio file containing a voice — it can be just a single sentence — and then you can have the AI say whatever you want, in that person’s voice.

For once, a hate hoaxer is facing consequences:

Police have arrested the school’s athletic director, a 31-year-old man named Dazhon Darien, and charged him with creating this AI voice file. Specifically, he’s been hit with a variety of offenses, including stalking, theft, and disruption of school operation.

Unsurprisingly, Darien is an oppressed Person of Preferred Pigmentation.

It turns out that he was under investigation by the principal for allegedly paying teachers under the table using school funds. There was also other alleged misconduct as well, so Darien’s contract wasn’t being renewed. In response, he decided to generate fake evidence that he was being fired because he’s black. On the tape, the principal supposedly says he needs to get rid of black employees by any means necessary — including D.J., which is Darien’s nickname.

We know what will come next, as deep fake technology continues to improve:

Imagine AI-generated videos of police officers killing unarmed black suspects. Is there any doubt that kind of video would cause nationwide riots?

The malevolent media will have no interest in debunking the coming wave of deep fake hoaxes; on the contrary, it will bend over backward to promote them, so as to drive both ratings and its phony narrative.

More than ever before, we need to remember: if a story sounds too good to be true from the liberal point of view, that’s probably because it is not true.
