Hate Hoaxes on This Day in History

This Day in History: Jussie Smollett's character was removed from the final episodes of Empire on this day last year following his infamous staged hate-crime hoax. There has been an alarming amount of hate crime hoaxes recently. For instance, one young lady in New York told Police that as she was driving home she was confronted by four white teenagers who yelled “Trump 2016” and told her she “didn’t belong here.” She told police that when she woke up the next morning her tires had been slashed and that a note was left behind, which read “go home.” After an extensive investigation, the young lady admitted to making up the entire story. She slashed her own tires and wrote the note.

Perhaps it is a sign of a better society that hate crimes are so rare, people have to fabricate them.
