Air Force Says That Racial Slurs Written in Its Prep School's Message Boards, Which Provoked a Blistering Speech Against Racism and Viral Panic, Was a Hoax

No, it wasn't a hoax, and we must stop calling it that. But I'll explain my reasoning there in a moment.

The racial slur forced the Air Force to offer up this speech, which went viral with over two million views.

Big surprise -- the hate speech was written by a Social Justice Warrior.

After an unidentified troll wrote the threatening words "Go home n----r" on dormitory message boards at the Air Force Academy prep school in September, Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria, the academy's superintendent, delivered a blistering speech on tolerance. With 4,000 students standing at attention, he said, "If you demean someone in any way, you need to get out."

The speech went viral, garnering more than 2 million views on YouTube.

Now the academy says one of the five African-American cadet candidates thought to be a victim was actually the perpetrator. The student is no longer enrolled, school officials said Tuesday.

The prep school, which offers a year of training for academy prospects who need academic help, wouldn't offer details on the circumstances surrounding the hoax. But The (Colorado Springs) Gazette, citing anonymous sources, reported that the unidentified student wrote the messages "in a bizarre bid to get out of trouble he faced at the school for other misconduct."

Now, as to why this is not "a hoax," and why we must stop using that word:

Why does someone write a real bit of hate-graffiti? For these reasons:

1. To threaten/worry a racial minority.

2. To stir up racial divisions.

3. To encourage others to express their own racial hatreds (for minorities).

Now, why does a member of a minority group write hate-graffiti?

1. To threaten/worry a racial minority.

2. To stir up racial divisions.

3. To encourage others to express their own racial hatreds (for the group presumed responsible for the graffiti, usually straight white Christian men).

Now, notice that in both cases, the motivations and the intent and the act and even the very words used are precisely the same.

So why is the same sort of hatred written by a white person treated a hate crime -- all prosecutorial tools deployed, minor crimes like vandalism pushed to the hilt, even possible charges of intent to make terroristic threats added -- and the hate graffiti, when written by a not-white, though with the exact same intentions of making minorities fear for their safety, stirring up racial divisions, and directing hatred and contempt at one racial group -- treated as mere mischief?

Why is that if a white guy had written this, we'd know his name and know the criminal charges against him, but now that it's revealed a black guy wrote the hate message with the same intent to cause fear and hatred, his name is concealed, details are withheld, no chargers are tendered, and he's merely asked to leave the school (which, based on this article, it seems like he was being asked to leave anyway)?

Why is a hate crime for a white guy to write a hateful message but just a bit of acting-up shenanigans when a non-white guy writes the same fucking thing for the same fucking purposes?

The only time people get charged -- and barely charged, at that -- in these situations is if they make the mistake of filing a false report with the police.

But when they just leave a noose on a door, or scribble some racial slurs a message board, they don't have to file a police report, because someone else sees it and (innocently, unwittingly) does the false filing of the police report on the malefactor's behalf.

This is not a hoax -- this is a hate-crime, or, more accurately, malicious vandalism with the sentencing intensifier of being committed with the intent to spread fear and hatred, just as it would be if a white guy did it.

The fact that a non-white did it does not change those facts -- and neither should it change the criminal penalty nor the social opprobrium heaped on the miscreant who did it, unless our nation is prepared to officially declare, unconstutionally but with the authority of Spike Lee, that non-whites are incapable of racism and hence any laws regarding racialized crime apply only to one race.

This is not a hoax. This is a hate crime, just committed by a black kid.

Prosecute him like you would a white malefactor, or confess that only white people are targeted by laws which are claimed to be race-neutral when it comes to Supreme Court review.

The fact that these minority race-criminals are permitted, without any sanction beyond a slap on the wrist, to write hate-messages to terrorize their fellow minorities to direct hate against white people is why we have so much of this.

Do liberals think this is helping heal the racial divide by encouraging minorities to spread #FalseFlag racial slurs? Does that reduce the racial tension minorities feel? Does that reduce the racial tension that whites/men/straights/Christians -- the usual targets of these #FaleFlag hate crimes -- feel?

I encourage any conservative leaning news organization to FOIA the information on this particular race criminal.

It's time to stop pretending these things are just some "understandable mischief" when committed by a minority. It's time to stop with the condescending racism pushed on us by progressives that anyone who's not white, male, straight and Christian had no moral agency and no ability to restrain himself from committing evil acts.

It's time to start applying the law equally to all races.

Crazy idea, huh?
