A lot of people think these can possibly be hoaxes and don't just automatically trust that the story is legit.

There have been other races that have made bogus claims of racial incidents as well.

Me personally... It sounds suspicious with the fast go find me money grab but it's possible...don't be in such a rush to believe racial narratives you like...it makes you seem racist.

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.

If there is any truth to this, then that makes it even more sad. Yes I come across as tough and strong, always have been. I think underneath, I try and see the good in everyone, part of what my NA NA taught me growing up.


I just would never do anything like this. I can imagine doing this for your 15 min of fame, but this, seems a bit of a stretch, perhaps I still do want to see the good in people.

Actually, it's the blacks doing such hoaxes that are toxic to blacks.

No its not, because the conservative white male already believes its a hoax, and even if its proven it isn't a hoax they'll still come up with some thinking that she deserved it somehow.

This is why many of us take everything with a grain of salt and there's plenty of these hoaxes out there. Philando Castile's family has a Go Fund Me Acct, as does his mom, sister and video taking girlfriend. Michael Brown's family had one and then police were called when they had a family fight over how the money would be split. It's hard to believe anything these days.

When "wolf" is being cried over and over with very few wolves ever being present, rational people begin questioning each additional cry. Sheep will believe it every time.

OK - I'm a Democratic female, who questions the story because of all the false claims just this last year alone. If it did happen - my sympathies are with her and I hope they catch the dirtbag because what he did was vile - but many of us do question because of the ulterior motives of many.

As I said, the conservative white male won't believe it either way so it's irrelevant. If they find the white they did it you'll still find a reason to convince yourself that she was at fault.
