A lot of times, that's just what it is. Kids. In the area I just moved from, there were incidents every few years of destroying/toppling the headstones in a Jewish cemetery, complete with spray-painted swastikas and whatnot. It was almost always bored teenagers whose parents weren't paying attention.

I'll try. Maybe the black kid did it himself because he really doesn't want to live with white parents!

Those aren't kids...those are called Skinheads. "Oh those kids, they just spray paint swastikas on Jewish grave stones and burn crosses on peoples yards because they are bored." Please, bored kids get drunk. Bored kids have sex. Bored kids play video games. Bored kids do drugs. Bored kids don't light crosses in the yards of a white couple with a mixed child. Believe it or not, kids actually have standards and understand that isn't cool to burn crosses and spray paint swastikas. This is the act of a demented person.

This is a really smart posting. As a bored kid, I did almost everything azriverfan mentions. The one category of things I didn't do? Light crosses in people's yards or spray paint swastikas on graveyards. While a lot of stupid things appealed to me when I was a dumb, bored kid, racially motivated vandalism or violence never did. Had anyone suggested to me that such activities might be fun, I would have recoiled in horror, even while drunk, even while high. For that matter, I would have been horrified even while drunk and having sex with some other dumb kid who was thinking about playing video games. Being a racist a**hole was quite literally the last thing on my mind--it wasn't on my mind at all.

I'm thinking Jesse thought the kid was voting no on healthcare.

How ludicrous can they be when race crime hoaxes are a known entity and have been rising in recent years? Does the Columbia noose incident ring a bell? Probably not. How about a more recent race hoax incident: Crowley vs Gates and the photo-op Beer Summit with Obama?

Just because you refuse to believe that they exist doesn't mean that they don't.

And maybe some people are cynical thanks to yet another media-made hoax that made the headlines recently, the Balloon Boy. It's not race-related but it's still another example of how people are becoming desperate for media attention; for their fifteen minutes of fame. You cannot deny that these things have become more common, thanks in large part to our celebrity-obsessed culture.

just because there is such thing as hoaxes, don't mean there isnt such thing as the real deal.

Some women will hoax a man by telling them they are pregnant, even though they are not really. That don't mean that all women that claim they are pregnant, are actually faking it.

and it is also true the other way around, so this thread is at a stalemate.
