Another hate crime hoax: Black man headed to jail after tagging college campus with racist graffiti

It's yet another hate crime hoax.

Jerome K. Jackson, a 54-year-old black man, was charged earlier this month with tagging the campus of Salisbury University in Maryland with racist graffiti five times between last October and February of this year, which authorities characterized as a "hate crime."

We have all these crazy people and no mental hospitals for them. He, too, wanted to play mind games but lost the pieces to the game.

I wish I understood this desire to create racist hoaxes. The only thing I can conclude is that America is a decent non-racist country, and that its white citizens are not providing the evidence needed to prove otherwise.

Just to clarify, are you saying the linked story in the op is a hoax?

A black guy created racist graffiti against blacks (using the “n” word). Thus it's labeled a hoax. But maybe he hates all other blacks and was planning something crazier than anti-black graffiti, just as his graffiti expressed. Or maybe he wanted to make his hoax more realistic, by actually acting it out. His lawyer didn’t offer such explanations, understandably, but how do we know?
