Hate crimes in the news

Three headlines:

• • Hate crime hoaxes, like Jussie Smollett's alleged attack, are more common than you think
  • Inside the suspicious rise of gay hate crimes in Portland
  • Jussie Smollett, and the strange alchemy of egalitarian despotism

Roger wisely points out in the last link:

The less hate there is in the United States, the more hate crimes must be manufactured in order to keep the Fraternal Order of Victims afloat.

True - you can not be victimized and marginalized if the racists are simply not there. Does not sustain the narrative.

One day, saner heads will look back and go WTF?
