Whether or not this situation is real, there is documented history of numerous complaints about racism at this school, and it's been going on for years. It can't all be orchestrated. This is why I was so angered about the Jussie Smollett situation because it's already hard enough for LGBTQ and ethnic minority victims to be believed. 

Bluebooger has talked about how he thinks people of Sub-Saharan African descent are intellectually inferior, so his reaction isn't surprising. I ignore him half the time. It's stomach-churning, though, when it comes from a person of African descent. 

It's unbelievable how so many think that it's more likely that a student will be harassed for being conservative than for being black. History says otherwise. The currently rising hate crime rates against ethnic and religious minorities say otherwise.

I think it's much more stomach-churning to make crap up, but that's me.  I agree that it's hard enough for ANYONE to be believed of real crimes, so people who make things up make it much harder.  And if the media didn't immediately jump on whatever they WANT to believe is happening, without giving any thought to whether or not it's true is just ridiculous.

And, I've done some reading on the rising hate crimes rates.  Did you know that much of the rise comes from more reporting, and much of it has to do with anti-semitism?  Yes, Jewish people are reporting a lot more crimes - it's not black people, gay people, women - the real fear in this country right now is if you're Jewish.

And yes, I KNOW racism/sexism/all-of-the-isms really do exist.  But I don't think it's as rampant as some people would lead you to believe.  If that was the case, Smollett wouldn't have to make anything up, it would be out there for us to see.  Instead, we get:
 - Kerri Dunn at Claremont McKenna College making up a hate crime (and going to jail for it)
 - UCSD Noose drama (student admitted she did it herself)
 - SDSU hijab-wearing woman attacked by Trump supporters, car stolen (turns out she "forgot" where she left her car, declined to press charges)
These are just the ones in SoCal, that I've heard about.  There are dozens, all fake.

I really hate the lying to try to stir up racial fears throughout this country.  Almost every single event has been someone who was liberal trying to make people think that Trump supporters were racists.  If that's not true hate, I don't know what is.  It sickens me.

You may hate most of the following sites that are reporting these hoaxes, but I couldn't find more of the ones that were on the "liberal" or "mainstream" side of things doing the reporting, or I would have linked them here:

https://www.newsweek.com/muslim-hate-cri...nce-741047

For instance, here's the initial reporting about the SDSU muslim student by our local PBS station in SD, but they never update the story with the truth nor do they ever come back later and report the truth that it's a hoax (and it was a BIG deal here): https://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/nov/09/sa...dent-hate/
