But, hey, It Worked!


"At UC San Diego, officials were already moving to create a more tolerant environment after meeting with black student leaders, campus spokeswoman Judy Piercey said.

Initiatives include recruiting more minority faculty, instituting a mentoring program, creating an African American Resource Center, and ensuring funding for the diversity office, Piercey said."


Less than 2% of the student population in Cash-crisis California no less.

This reminds me of a Little Rascals episode from when I was a kid.

Spanky and the gang would attach some fishing line to a dollar bill and drag it across the street, just to watch the grown-ups making fools of themselves chasing the "unobtainable".

What a pack of fools.

I attended a school a long time ago that had a fountain in the front by the administration building. A friend and I put liquid detergent in the fountain and by morning the mound of bubbles were growing in all directions. I am really offended that I have not been investigated yet. Who knows how many students fled through the halls to their dorm rooms in utter fear that a soap terrorist had come onto campus.

I need to express an opinion that may not be well-received, but I would rather tell all of you how I feel, instead of just leaving Liestoppers without saying anything. I do not write as well as some of our members, but I will try to be articulate.

This thread caused a lot of ill will amongst members of this board- we have been together for a long time. Not a one of us knows ALL of the facts of the UCSD incident from its inception, any more than we "knew" what had happened between Elin and Tiger Woods, yet one or another poster felt compelled to make pronouncements about the ethics/character/motivations of other members based on their posts. I did not really take personal offense when I was attacked with not really being a lady on the Tiger Woods thread, and I tried my best to stay quiet on this thread, since I disagreed with some of the positions being taken. Ultimately, I DID post. I am not sorry I did.

I am disappointed, no, I am fed up, with people making pronouncements about other people's characters. Disagree with me all you want, but impugning the character of another poster for his or her opinion is out of line.

UC Davis had graffiti painted on the LGBT Resource Center yesterday. Students are in an uproar, unless of course the MSM is blowing it out of proportion.

What is going on in California? Riots at Berkeley, nooses, pillowcases, graffiti, oh my!

There is a major protest on Thursday all over California with teachers' unions and campuses protesting education cuts.

Would it be a stretch to think that some of these incidents are related to this budget cut protest to get tempers flared and people riled up beforehand? I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory here - just thinking out loud.

Does anyone recall the black Angry-Studies professor that claimed her car was vandalized with racist graffiti on campus- and then some camera caught her car driving onto campus with the artwork already in place?

This is rich scam and the media participates gleefully.

Claremont Hate Crime Called Hoax
Police say a professor damaged her own car, but she denies it. Last week's incident sparked anti-racism rallies.
March 18, 2004|Joy Buchanan, Kristina Sauerwein and Stuart Silverstein , Times Staff Writers

A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.

Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.

Son Among 3 Arrested In Fake Hate Crime
Comments (0)
EVERETT - An Everett family who spent the last week wondering who could do such a thing, has now learned their own son is under arrest for what looked like a hate crime.

Wes Washington and Crissy Kitchel couldn't believe the destruction or the time the crooks spent burglarizing and then trashing their Everett house.

"When you look at it, whether is race or personal, it's still hate. You can't tear apart someone's house like this and not call it hate," said Kitchel last week.

KKK, swastikas and the "N" word on a smashed mirror all pointed to a hate crime.

"We don't have to hate anyone for doing it - it's OK to be upset about it - but we just have to move on," said Washington at the time.

But moving on just got a lot harder now that that couple has learned their own 16-year-old son is under arrest for the crime.

"The son is a very angry young man," said Sgt. Dan Boardley. "It's not just in regards to this incident, but he has a history of anger."

Police say the teen and two friends planned the burglary, then made it look like a hate crime to cover their tracks.

"He must have some anger, I don't know," said a neighbor across the street.

Neighbors can't believe it was an inside job. Especially after the community came together to clean the mess, erase the hateful words, and help pick up broken pieces of the family's life.

"I think they will still rally around them," said neighbor Debbie Todd. "Whatever the problems are with the son - and I can't say what those are - but I think we'd all still help."

The two other teens are also under arrest - including one who used to live with the couple until they kicked him out for stealing.

The son is in juvenile hall. His parents asked the judge to keep him there for three more days while they sort out the new mess they now find themselves in.

Conservatives Blamed for Liberals' Fake Hate Crimes


Liberals are so invigorated by the story about a noose being found on an obscure Columbia University professor's door that now nooses are popping up all over New York City.
Liberals love to make-believe the Night Riders are constantly at their doors.

I'll be shocked by a noose's appearing on a college campus the day an actual racist does it.

Could Columbia at least produce one student or professor who supports racism before holding another "rally against racism"? Every concrete example of the racism allegedly sweeping the nation's campuses keeps turning out to be a fraud. Far from "institutional racism," there is "institutional racial hoaxism" run amok in this country. Will anyone rally against that?

Leftist Hoaxes

Out of legions, here are just a few hoax hate crimes on college campuses:

* In 1997, at Duke University, a black doll was found hanging by a noose from a tree at the precise spot where the Black Student Alliance was to be holding a rally against racism. Two black students later admitted they were the culprits and were immediately praised for bringing attention to the problem of racism on campus. Indeed, four years later the president of Duke gave a baccalaureate address nostalgically describing the hoax as a "protest" against racism. Next stop: the Nobel Peace Prize.


* In 2003, vile racial epithets were scrawled on dorm room doors at Ole Miss, producing mass protests and a "Say No to Racism" march. And then it turned out the graffiti had been written by black students, against whom no charges were brought. A "Say Yes to Racism" rally at Ole Miss was later canceled due to lack of interest.

* In 2005, obscenity-laced racist and anti-Semitic messages appeared on dormitory walls at the College of Wooster in Ohio. The fliers were instantly blamed on "typical white males," even though every letter "I" in the epithets was dotted with little hearts. Breadcrumbs left by the culprits included the message "Vote Goldwater" among the obscenities. The matter was dropped and flushed down the memory hole when the perpetrators turned out to be a group of leftist students led by a Black Studies major.

* Just this year, anti-Muslim fliers were put out on the George Washington University campus-by leftists, including a member of "Iraq Veterans Against War." When it was thought the leaflets were from the conservative group Young Americans Foundation, the dean called for the expulsion of the culprits and the university demanded that YAF officers sign a statement disavowing "hate speech" [see last week's cover story, "Campus Radicals Smear YAF With Forged Fliers," by Jason Mattera]. But when it turned out leftists had distributed the fliers, the matter was dropped faster than Larry Craig was dropped from Mitt Romney's campaign.

The one real example of racism on a college campus in recent memory was perpetrated against white men of the Duke lacrosse team. As that injustice was being perpetrated, gender and ethnic professors at Duke kept droning on about the "racism and sexism" students "live with every day"-as the professors put it in an open letter that falsely presumed the players were guilty of rape. We don't expect a rally against the prejudiced professors, but an apology might be nice.

Playing the game of "He Who Is Offended First Wins," Americans seek status not by claiming to be rich or of royal lineage, but by portraying themselves as victims. In one recent hoax hate crime, a white woman professor at Claremont McKenna College said her car had been vandalized with racist and anti-Semitic graffiti, with the words "Shut Up!" spray-painted on the hood of her car.

She was not black or Jewish, but had recently converted to Judaism and spoke out against racism. So she was a victim! After the vandalism of her car, she promptly became Queen for a Day. Far from "silenced," this anonymous mountebank was given a national microphone to bore us with her race-gender-culture theories. The campus was shut down for a day for anti-racism rallies in the charlatan's honor. Then eyewitnesses identified her as the one who had spray-painted her own car, and the pity party was over.

These liberal racism-hunters are like dirty old men who spend their days poring through pornography in order to better denounce it-but enough about the Warren Court.

Assuming against all reason and experience that the Columbia noose is not another hoax by a high-status victim, how is it that a pimply adolescent can cause such tumult in liberal New York City?

Liberals claim to believe the Klan has established a beachhead at Columbia University with Bill O'Reilly head of the Manhattan branch. Rush Limbaugh despises the troops. I'm planning a pogrom from the heart of Manhattan and George Bush is establishing fascism in America.

Some anonymous liberal hag on Air America Radio, which no one knew was still on the air, fell down outside her Park Avenue apartment this week, and her liberal colleagues were claiming it was Kristallnacht.

If it rains after a liberal washes his car, they say it's a right-wing dirty trick.

Liberals love nothing more than these constant self-righteous-athons-as if they would ever have the courage to stand up for any cause not universally supported by everyone around them.
