fake hate crimes: a database of hate crime hoaxes in the usa



The purpose of this site is to compile a comprehensive database of the false reports of "hate crimes" committed (mostly) in the USA. It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The recent book Hate Crime Hoax also adds to Wilcox's work. Watching the Watchdogs is very useful, and so is Fake Hate Map.

summary
Someone posted signs reading “White Only” or “Black Only” at the entrance to bathrooms and above drinking fountains around campus. The Black Student Union called a meeting to discuss the incident. As the members deplored the signs and the racist legacy they invoked, a black graduate student rose and admitted that she placed the signs herself.
