I'm not so sure - and the propaganda media seems to over hype hate crimes when they occur.

So I just posted a fake hate crime... you said there are a hundred real hate crimes that take place. Can you post 5 links to recent articles that account for real hate crimes? Just five... that's all.

lol I am just sharing what ridiculous thing I've seen people claim on social media after the Smollett case basically has gone downhill with it being likely it was a hoax.

When these hoaxes happen, they should be totally condemned but unfortunately many will dig their heels in.

Fake news.

Many of you will remember the death of my son, who had just started at Rutgers University in New Jersey when he committed suicide by jumping from the George Washington Bridge. Many of you will remember the trial that centered around bias intimidation and invasion of privacy charges against his college roommate, who cyberbullied and humiliated my son because he was gay. And we will never know what exactly went through Tyler’s mind that terrible day or why he chose to end his life. But what I do know is that bullying, whether in person or online, needs to be eliminated.

Seems people dig their heels in on both sides, seeing as that is what this thread is.

It's pretty simple, though. Some hate crimes happen. Some people lie and claim a hate crime was committed against them. Both should be condemned.

People all over the internet are trying to excuse the Jussie Smollett situation by saying, basically, "well real hate crimes do happen and that's bad, all he was doing was showing that, his case shows that hate against blacks and gays is still alive." No, all he was doing was creating a fake story, wasting cops' time and money, and creating more political and probably racial divisiveness that may actually lead to more real hate crimes because doing what he likely did (still officially unconfirmed it was made up but looks bad for him) will cause extremists on both sides of the political spectrum to have even more anger at one another.

But it is highly unlikely that a random person committing a genuine hate crime is going to blurt out Trump's name.
How can they learn when there are no negative consequences? How many get punished? They are still considered heroes by other SJWs. "they lied for a noble cause!" is probably their warped reasoning.
