Who said that it doesn't happen? I think everyone here agrees racist shit happens. Do you agree that people sometimes make up these things?
And that's the *real* issue, right?

and you think these people made this up? Why dont you trust them?
In the case with the OP I don't think it was a hoax, I think it was people being overly sensitive and honestly looking for something to be outraged about. They discussed, groupthink occurred and they worked each other up, and all of the sudden the University of Mississippi has a race issue on their hands when in reality there was none. In the examples I linked yes I do think they made it up. It's not a matter of trust.
Shit like that undermines situations when there really is something there. It sets race relations back which I think we could agree isn't a good thing.

Of course not. The real issue is why is there so much race tension and how do we solve that, how do we progress as a nation and move past skin color. Police shooting its involving a much larger percent of blacks is a problem, and "driving while black" is a problem. Socioeconomic disadvantages for blacks is a problem. Incarceration rates and sentencing for blacks is a problem. And yes people being ok with racism directed towards white people has become a problem too, wrapped up in the guise of "context" and "history".
We've regressed in terms of race relations in this country which is a shame.
Nothing changes until the modern GOP and their supporters renounce their long history of race baiting and directed discrimination via "economic policy."
Maybe your ignorant ass should try reading a book and see Lee Atwater's history for yourself.Sorry, but the GOP will never do what the people who hate them insist they should, regardless of how many lies you continue to perpetuate. Try not to cry
