Professor Onwubiko Agozino is unlikely to have produced any useful scholarship, but at least he has managed to join the Hate Hoax List.

Via Fox News:

Agozino is a professor of sociology at [Virginia Tech University] and describes himself as a “scholar-activist who values inclusive excellence and diversity with critical attention focused on people of African descent and other marginalized groups around the world” who “emphasizes race, class, and gender issues in his contributions to learning, discovery, and community engagement beyond the boundaries of the classroom.”

As an example of his community engagement beyond the boundaries of the classroom,

He filed the complaint with police on Feb. 10, after an incident where a group of White men blaring rap music with profane lyrics from their truck stopped on the street in front of his house and shoveled snow and ice out of the truck’s bed.

So as to promote the narrative that has served Agozino well, this was proclaimed to be a hate crime.

The story was amplified by New River Valley Indivisible, part of the national far-left nonprofit Indivisible, which promotes progressivism and has recently organized nationwide protests against President Donald Trump.

NRVI demanded the snow shovelers be prosecuted at both the state and federal levels.

The police in Christiansburg, Virginia were forced to waste time investigating the supposed racial incident rather than actual crimes. Their findings:

“After several interviews, including a third-party eyewitness, and a detailed investigation, detectives found that a group of juveniles were attending an organized function at a home in the area,” the town explained. “Before departure, two juveniles attempted to clear frozen snow and ice out of the bed of a truck, but were unable to completely remove, due to the slope of the vehicle. Upon departure, the juveniles stopped at a flat spot on the street, where a juvenile pushed out the remaining frozen snow and ice.”

Incredible as it might seem to believers in Critical Race Theory, not everything that ever happens is about the oppression of put-upon people of preferred pigmentation. Actually, hardly anything is.

Agozino responded that the kids should be punished anyway even if there was no criminal intent.

He also said police increased patrols near his home to “prevent a repeat or escalation.”

This would mean more resources wasted pandering to a jerk and his pernicious ideology.
