Oberlin College | Racism Hoax
This story has a really bad taste to it.
Is the publicity surrounding a story like this now more important than the truth?
Apparently so...

Apparently so...
At LegalInsurrection.com, William A. Jacobson gives the details on this story:
"The enormity of the hoax cannot be overstated, and it could not have taken place without the cover up by the Oberlin administration.
Had Oberlin’s President gone on television or issued a statement that the acts were a hoax, the campus and media would not have devoted weeks to portraying Oberlin as having a racism problem.
The Oberlin administration has a lot of answering to do to the community, the nation, and to Oberlin alumni. How must those alumni feel to see their school smeared based on a hoax.
Will Lena Dunham now tweet about it?
Will CNN cover the hoax aspect as deeply as it did the incidents?
Will Melissa Harris-Perry talk about the role of racist hoaxes in creating a false narrative of racism?"
