Cameras are helpful. As are garages.

I am white, and damn it that is just plain wrong. If someone white did this, then damn them. This crap needs to stop. And hateful groups on both sides, with hateful messages, need to get a life.


They do not realize it, but these groups fuel the fire, for someone that has a fuse about to go off.


Why would someone want to publicize this, if they were a guilty party. Does not make sense.

UM.....Many people have been able to create hoaxes like this to cash in via places like go-fund-me.

One was the gal that got the racist "non-tip" which turned out to be a fraud.

Sure, there are racists in the world but....wow....you just believe this and can't spot the motivation of someone doing this for 100k? Really?

Basically sounds like you are a really good person that just doesn't think the way some people do....which is a good thing....but these hoaxes are just more and more common.

Try last 20 or so, maybe this time it's real? Be nice for the perpetually aggrieved to finally have one that sticks...just one that's all we need.

It'll be 1890 all over again.

Out in farm country. Easy to target by angry white males who listen to fox news.

I have no doubt this is real.

Not only can she make a good deal of money but she gets fame as well, with thousands of new friends who are sympathetic. And a quick glance at her facebook timeline shows that gaining sympathy is a big motivation for her. This is very likely a hoax.

And as long as people with your attitude are all over social media, the hoaxes will continue.

Anything involving a black person being the victim of white people is a hoax to you so that doesn't mean much.

For her sake it hope it's really true and not just another of many bogus racist/homophobic/sexist events.

And there have been a lot over the years. Particularly on college campuses.
