Fake Hate Crimes

Website Documenting Fake Hate Crimes Mysteriously Goes Dark after Adding Smollett Hoax

 

Thanks for the link. From the foreword of Crying Wolf: Hate Crime Hoaxes in America, (c)1994 by Laird Wilcox, cited on the site:

In recent years "anti-racists" have proclaimed that virtually every behavior and institution in our society is covertly racist. Anti-racism has become a small industry in the United States. Entire career fields are built around defining and combating "racism" in one form or another. As individual problems are solved and offensive behaviors disappear, the definition of racism is broadened again and again to include more and more behaviors, hence we have the problem of "increasing" bigotry and intolerance. I suspect the last thing many professional anti-racists want is a truly race-neutral society. They have developed a vested interest in the continuation of the problem, a kind of "co-dependency" relationship, if you will.

The book was written 25 years ago, with research begun 30 years ago?

This is what Laird Wilcox says about himself in the other book link I found there (The Watchdogs, updated 20 years ago). .

Like most liberals of my era, I have always had a strong sympathy for the underdog. I first joined the NAACP when I was 17, in Baltimore, MD. At the University of Kansas I was active in the Civil Rights Council, an official student organization, and served a term as vice-chair of the Lawrence, KS, chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). I marched in the picket lines during the early civil rights movement and was on the board of the local American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) chapter. I have remained an ACLU member for almost 40 years. I am a member of Amnesty International and work with them against capital punishment, which I oppose. I come from a large multicultural family and we make no distinctions with respect to race, ethnicity or religion.

It may have just been overload from all the interest in this case. But there are reports that conservative stories doubting the original narrative were initially blocked.
