the Spate of Recent Race Hoaxes SHOULD BE Very Disturbing....BUT to Our National Media, They're NOT

Recently some high profile threats against black students at Keane University in NJ and the Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan made national headlines.

Alas, the subsequent outcomes of the investigations that proved them to be hoaxes by black students DID NOT. At Keane University, Kayla-Simone McKelvey, who'd just graduated from that college in May, has been charged with third-degree creating a false public alarm, according to an article on NJ.com. Union County prosecutor Grace H. Park stated that McKelvey left in the middle of an anti-racism student rally in November to go to a campus library computer where she created a now-suspended anonymous account with the handle “@keanuagainstblk” and began posting the tweets like; "I will kill every black male and female at Keane University," and "I will kill all the blacks tonight, tomorrow and every day if they go to Keane University," and "Keane University Twitter against blacks is for everyone who hates black people."

Earlier in November, a 21-year-old student at a nearby community college named Emmanuel D. Bowden posted, “I'm going to shoot every black person I can on campus. Starting tomorrow morning,” said the post on Yik Yak an anonymized social media service. The message triggered a police response and a subsequent investigation. As a result of that investigation, Bowden, 21, has been charged with making a false report or threat of terrorism, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

While the threats were front page national news, the hoaxes were hardly mentioned...which is kind of odd, when you consider that in cases in which a black perpetrator inflicts violence on whites, when it is highlighted at all, what is highlighted in the perp's "grievances."

When Omar Thornton went on a shooting rampage at his Connecticut workplace back in August of 2010, Thornton's murderous rampage wasn't the story, but instead, the POSSIBILITY that he'd been discriminated against at work was.

The Associated Press account of the murders was reprinted in the Washington Post and throughout America: "To those closest to him, Omar Thornton was caring, quiet and soft-spoken....But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself. “I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work,” said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah. “He always felt like he was being discriminated [against] because he was black,” said Jessica Anne Brocuglio, his former girlfriend. “Basically they wouldn’t give him pay raises. He never felt like they accepted him as a hard working person.” Thornton changed jobs a few times because he was not getting raises, Brocuglio said."

The New York Times’s August 3 headline read: “Troubles Preceded Connecticut Workplace Killing,” and in the second paragraph, the Times reported: “He might also have had cause to be angry: he had complained to his girlfriend of being racially harassed at work, the woman’s mother said, and lamented that his grievances had gone unaddressed.”

On August 7th, just four days after the shootings, the Washington Post’s headline read, “Beer warehouse shooter long complained of racism.”

In FACT, just before he started shooting, Thornton had been told he had the choice of quitting or being fired for stealing beer, and there was video proof of his doing so.

But that fact, the one and ONLY indisputable and the fact that is the most pertinent pre-murder fact, got lost within the larger context of Thornton’s claims of being a victim...of whites.

As Dennis Prager said, "Those preoccupied with Thornton’s charges of workplace racism might wish to reflect on this: Racists and otherwise bigoted murderers always blame their victims. Medieval Christians who murdered Jews blamed the Jews for poisoning wells, using Christian children’s blood in making their matzo, or some other terrible crime. Whites who lynched blacks blamed those blacks for rape or some other terrible crime." (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/243644/black-murders-eight-whites-media-blame-whites-dennis-prager)

That's why such racial hoaxes are so very dangerous.
