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 books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are also recommended.

summary
4 white Berkeley High School students were attacked by black classmates following the appearance of a racist leaflet on campus. The leaflet claimed to be a Ku Klux Klan publication, thanking black kids for killing each other in gang violence. Police located the flyer's author, Matthew Stelly, a reporter for the Milwaukee Courier. He claimed he was trying to make African American teenagers aware of how dumb intra-black violence is; racists think it's OK.
