Amari Allen’s story was a hoax. Over the past week or two, almost every reading American became familiar with Allen, the dread-locked schoolgirl who claimed that âthree white boysâ snatched her from a slide on the campus of the prestigious Immanuel Christian School in Smithfield, held her down, and cut off some of her hair while mockingly calling it ânappy.â
Because of the alleged incident’s shocking nature, and te fact that Second Lady Karen Pence was an art teacher there, Immanuel Christian became (yet another) ground zero for a national discussion about race and âprivilege.â And then, that discussion collapsed: Allen confessed to literally making the whole thing up.
Allen’s hoax was not some unique, one-off incident. During this past year alone, a number of internationally prominent hate crime and hate incident hoaxes have occurred in the USA. In July, popular Georgia State Senator Erica Thomas claimed that she had been shamefully attacked, in a Publix grocery store, by a white male who screamed at her and told her to âgo back home.â In fact, the âwhite manâ turned out to Cuban-American Democratic Party activist Eric Sparkes, who literally showed up at Thomas’ melodramatic press conference to rebut her story.

More recently, on September 12, 2019, someone wrote racial insults, swastikas, and the word âMAGAâ throughout two restaurants owned by former NFL player Edawn Coughman. The perp turned out to be Coughman himself, who was spotted leaving the scene by witnesses. Most famously, on January 29, 2019, actor Jussie Smollett â famously mocked as the mad Frenchman âJuicy Smolliet’ by comedy legend Dave Chappelle â claimed that he had been attacked at 2am, in the middle of a Chicago blizzard, by two burly white men wearing Trump campaign MAGA hats. Smollett’s bizarre story was exposed as an almost certain lie when two Nigerian brothers, buddies of his from the local gym, confessed to having been paid by Smollett to stage his beating.
This year was not unusual. It was, in fact, a bit less active than average on the hate hoax front. Putting together my 2019 book Hate Crime Hoax, I was able to fairly easily compile 409 confirmed hate hoaxes, concentrated in the five years before publication. I defined a âhate hoaxâ as (1) an undisputed report (police report and/or reputable national or regional media story), of (2) a serious incident (generally felony or misdemeanor offense), that was (3) attributed to dislike of or bias against an out-group, where (4) the narrative of âhateâ completely collapsed (with this collapse also being reported). My master list is now up to 611 case studies of hate hoaxes, containing more than 800 unique incidents. To put these numbers in context, less than 7,000 hate crimes are reported to the FBI by police departments in a typical year, and only 8-10% receive the media coverage that would make them potential candidates for my data sets.

Interestingly, hoaxes seem to be most common among the most high-profile, widely reported stories of âhate.â Of the 20-odd hate incident cases, mass shootings aside, that became truly international stories over the past decade and change, literally about half of them â Smollett, Allen, Covington Catholic, Yasmin Seweid and the ripped hijab, Air Force Academy, the âburnt Black churchâ (Hopewell Baptist), the little Black girl in Grand Rapids who said boorish white men literally peed on her, the Rolling Stone cover story about anti-woman rape gangs at U-Virginia, the Nikki Jolly house fire and the dead purebred dogs, the ânooses on campusâ (Wisconsin-Parkside), Duke Lacrosse â turned out to be total fakes. Many hate hoaxers have a taste for the dramatic, which often betrays them in the end.

EXCLUSIVE: Proud Boys Suing SPLC Over âHate Group’ Designation
This has been covered on my show ad nauseam for years.
Prior to Trump’s political arrival, the media ignored hate crimes against white people (which are rising according to the FBI). The double standard on political ‘violent rhetoric’ is undeniable.
Post-Trump, we’ve seen a surge in fake hate hoaxes.
We even caught the DNC and Hillary campaign funding the Creamer Group to manufacture fake hate and political violence to blame Trump supporters for.
The sheer amount of examples of Trump supporters being verbally accosted or physically assaulted for wearing their MAGA hats should have been enough to spur some media attention at least. Alas, they still ignore real hate to peddle blatantly obvious fake hate scandals.
The formula is simple:
The standard for this formula to be deployed are that the alleged ‘victim’ must be from a protected class typically aligned with the Democratic Party or other leftist philosophy. If they are white or aligned with the political right, the story is ignored.
Case in point, the Jussie Smollett hoax. It was uncritically believed and spread my MSM news outlets and verified ‘journalists’ on Twitter. It was always suspect and unbelievable as a real story. The media elite didn’t care. It checked all of their social justice boxes. Racist – check. Homophobic- check. Can be used to attack Trump and his supporters – check. With that, the hoax went viral.
Now, we have two stories of actual hate directed at Trump supporters. One was just a kid and the other involved potential murder. The media has all but ignored these stories. Some outlets haven’t covered them at all, others have buried the stories in their platforms and not given nearly the attention they give the typical hate hoax.
A 14-year-old boy was verbally accosted by a Van’s store employee for wearing a MAGA hat. A kid! After telling this kid “fuck you” the mother had this exchange with the employee:
âHe did nothing to you,â the mother told the employee. âWhat did you say to my son, to my 14-year-old?â
âI’m sure he’s heard it before,â the employee responded.
Gee, might a story about adults accosting children for their political views be something we can have a ‘national discussion’ about?
Or how about the story where a guy pulled a gun on two Trump supporters who were wearing their MAGA hats. A GUN!
He threatened to kill them because they wore MAGA hats after flipping them off by saying: “It’s a good day for you to die.â He’s been arrested.
Again, might there be a ‘national discussion’ about threating to murder people because you don’t like their political views?
Both stories basically ignored by the MSM. Real examples of unhinged hatred for fellow Americans. Links to both stories here.
To steal a quote from CNN spreading the Jussie Smollett hoax … this is America in 2019. Or rather, this is your media in 2019.
UPDATE:
Today, after writing this post, the story broke that a leftist harassed an elderly man for wearing a MAGA hat.
So much for the media’s ‘treat your elders with respect’ mantra.
UPDATE II:
This 7-year-old was allegedly called ‘little Hitler’ for selling hot cocoa to raise money for the wall. So classy adults.
