What a dumb*ss, discussion and protesting about hate crime that actually does happen is one thing, but fabricating it is just plain disgusting

Stop trying to ignore the fact that people fabricate hate crimes to gain sympathy.

So I should ignore something that is actually creating a divide? I hold everyone to the same standard if a white person had done this to create anti-black sentiment I would call them out and you probably would so why should we ignore it the other way around?

Yes, clearly they do, but how often, and what % of hate crimes are fabricated? I'd be amazed if it was more than 5%, you don't hear about these things happening very often.

Some of the 'hate crimes' reported are just false in Canada recently it was reported a Muslim women was assaulted in a shop and that it was a hate crime because she was Muslim, it turns out that it was another Muslim who did it.

It happens more often than you think the media report things as a hate crime and then ignore it when evidence shows it's something else

It's not a white vs non white thing. Of course people are bound to fake some crimes. But it is a minority. And no, you're not "calling" anyone when you're posting it on a student room and I highly doubt your intentions was to simply show us all that this happens because basic intuition will already tell us this. Basically this thread is pointless when you're linking an article to ONE case of this offence in New Jersey.

In the same way a police officer who commits a crime under, " color of law", deserves a harsher penalty, so should a person who commits this sort of crime. Both are betraying the public trust.

Again, these are individual and lone events. You're deliberately skewing the picture when we all know that there are severe hate crimes that does occur.
