The U.S. has a long history of race grifters weaponizing black tears for hoaxes that destroy the lives of their white targets. This is not discussed as a social phenomenon because of dominant false narratives on race that run in only one direction. Here are some brief highlights:
Tawana Brawley falsely accused four white men in New York of a brutal four-day, racist kidnapping and gang r—pe. The story was a huge media sensation amplified by race grifter Al Sharpton. Brawley was never charged over the hoax.
Crystal Mangum falsely accused three white male students at Duke University in North Carolina of a racist, violent gang r—pe and s—domy. The men were arrested, charged and smeared in the press because of their "white privilege." Mangum was never charged over the hoax and finally admitted to lying last week in an interview after 18 years.
In 2016, three black female students at the University of Albany in upstate New York fabricated a story about being attacked by a group of racist white men on a bus. The story went viral and sparked mass race-reckoning protests on campus and elsewhere. Hillary Clinton amplified the hoax. Recovered surveillance video from the bus showed Ariel Agudio, Asha Burwell and Alexis Briggs were the aggressors who violently attacked a white woman. They were sentenced to a small fine, probation and community service.
In 2019, leftist black activist-actor Jussie Smollett paid two black men to pretend to be racist white "MAGA" supporters who violently assaulted him in Chicago. Kamala Harris championed Smollett's lies. He spent a few days in a county jail. In November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned his conviction of making false police reports because he had already been given a sweetheart plea deal where his charges were dropped.
