The media falls head first for race hoaxes. The media, being overwhelmingly left of reality, they want, they NEED racism to exist everywhere, and it looks like the Duke-BYU hoax, is, well as fake as fake can get. Moonbattery is all over it.
Duke University has again made headlines for a racist incident that did not happen. Rachel Richardson, the only black starter on the volleyball team, shrieks that she was called the forbidden N-word by a Brigham Young University fan every time she served.
From the Washington Examiner:
This story was picked up by professional race-baiters Jemele Hill (the Atlantic) and Mike Freeman (USA Today). ESPN bit on it, giving an interview to Richardson while ESPN personalities condemned the incident. It even bled into establishment media. CNN’s Brianna Keilar gave a segment to Richardson’s father, who smeared the entire BYU crowd as racist due to the “atmosphere” in the arena. It was picked up uncritically by NPR, ABC, NBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
There are rules about hoaxes like this. First, if a professional race pimp like Jemelle Hill, who cannot buy sandwich without seeing RAAAAACISM in it, screams RAAAAACISM, it is almost always NOT going to be racism.
Rule #2 Even when the hoax is exposed as phony, the left will never fully admit it. Or they will trot out some asinine excuse blaming all the “rampant racism” in “Racist America”. Odd if racism is so common, why would anyone need to fake it? HMMMM
Rule #3 Businesses, colleges, and public figures are so terrified of being called racist, they usually prostrate themselves and grovel, and apologize Yes, even after the claim of racism is proven incorrect. And, as Dave Blount notes, this story had valid issues from the get go
From the get-go, this was another obvious hate hoax. But police still had to treat it like the biggest crime since the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped.
BYU police reviewed footage of the fan who was banned and determined that he did not yell any slurs when Richardson was serving. The fan wasn’t even present when Richardson was serving the first time, and he was on his phone during Richardson’s second serve. Those were the only two times she served in front of the BYU student section. A BYU student newspaper reached out to several people in the student section, none of whom had heard any slurs.
Not a single person has since come forward to report to BYU police that they heard the alleged slur. Black members of BYU’s basketball team were also in the student section, yet they did not react and have not come forward to say they heard anything.
Rule #4, Always note how the “victim” ill reference the “STRUGGLE” they face, just trying to “Breathe”.
Duke lost, but this is BYU’s fault, for letting there be a racist. Via WRAL Sports Fan:
“The slurs and comments grew into threats which caused us to feel unsafe,” Richardson wrote on Twitter, saying BYU coaches and game officials were made aware of the incident but “failed to take the necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior.” …
Understandably distracted, Richardson said she and her fellow Black teammates struggled to get through the remainder of the game.
See, the STRUGGLE! Rule #5 If you DARE to challenge, or clarify the incident, even if there was no incident……..you might be canceled!
But……, if you carnival bark loud enough, you can make angry pronouncements all day long, and you do not even have to be responsible enough to get the facts. Cue the carnival barking race hustler
Oh the fake outrageously outrageous outrage!
