Recently a George Washington University student filed a police report that she had come back to her dorm room only to discover Nazi Swastikas drawn on the door. A police investigation revealed that the student herself was responsible for the offending graffiti.
This incident is just one in a long list of phony charges about racial strife primarily on college campi, but other places as well. From the Duke Lacrosse team to nooses at Columbia University, fake racial problems are the style of the day.
And despite the fact that there have been so many fake racial crimes in recent days, the press, civil rights activists and other "open minded", "non judgemental" types that always have the same reaction regardless of the (lack of) evidence presented: all white people are racist and capable of this (as if that's not a racist statement itself).
Insultingly when a lot of these "hate" crimes are discovered to be what they are, all charges are dropped. Of course, when a group of black men were roughly treated by police after Natalie Holloway disappeared and then released after there was found to be no evidence civil rights activists wanted an apology (and more.)
But the point is simple: these phony allegations are hate crimes in and of themselves. Like the Nazis or Lenin's Communist Horde or the KKK at the turn of the 20th century we have political movements attempting to foster hatred against a scapegoat for political gain. And in a lot of cases modern libs are using the same rationalizations that prompted the Nazis and Communists against the Jews: namely money and class. Since the Jews had the money, controlled the banks, were in charge of credit institutions, etc. it was rationalized that they were responsible for the suffering of the common people in Germany/Russia.
Today political correctness teaches that white people are responsible for all the evils on earth. Every single sin from slavery to global warming can be traced back to some white male somewhere. Libs have even come up with a great name for it: "white male privilege". Most libs who walk around complaining about "white male privilege" are not white or male so I can't help but wonder how they know their buzz phrase holds any water. They tend to use TV and movies as their evidence. True these same TV and movies show only negative stereotypes about minorities and women, but I'm sure they got the white male down accurately.
The irony is multifaceted. We're not allowed to screen Muslims at airports, lest they feel discriminated against. So we have to randomly search everyone. We're not allowed to racial profile blacks lest they feel the hand of intolerance. We have to profile everyone. But a noose hangs from a tree somewhere and we go round up all the white men.
Studies show that Muslims are more likely to commit acts of terror and blacks are more likely to commit crime and we told to ignore these "racist" studies. But studies showing that whites are prejudiced are accepted unquestioningly as gospel. Moreover we make laws based on such racist studies.
Since white people won't hire black people, we're going to make a law requiring them too. Since white college boards won't let black people in, we'll make a law requiring them too. (Nevermind the fact that all business owners, people on college boards and police are just assumed to be white.)
Racism is racism. Discrimination is discrimination. It's very interesting that the people who claim to be fighting these things are some of their biggest backers. Just as it's interesting that the "open minded, non judgemental" people who propagate these myths won't listen to this column.
