The Great Oberlin College Racism Hoax of 2013 finally has broken through to the mainstream media, albeit via a wholly inadequate AP article picked up at mainstream publication that fail to disclose that the lead perpetrator was a liberal Obama supporter, or that the Oberlin administration knew it was a hoax...
On Saturday we posted the statement issued by the Oberlin College administration in response to conservative media having exposed the racism hoax and Oberlin’s part in playing along by not disclosing the hoax to the student body.
The sentence most of us focused on was: “These actions were real.” That “fake but real”...
I smelled a rat in the Oberlin racism narrative, and so did some other people in the conservative blogosphere, including but not limited to Michelle Malkin and Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller (who obtained the police report that confirmed our suspicions that this was a hoax).
So while Jack Marshall at ...
As longtime readers know, we’re not big fans of the White Privilege verbiage, or the White Privilege consultant and pontificating class:
In an otherwise good article about the Oberlin racism hoax, Conor Friedersdorf uses the term “white privilege” to...

The spate of racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, and homophobic posters and graffiti that plagued the Oberlin College campus in February 2013 was definitively exposed as a hoax led by a pro-Obama liberal anti-racist student activist seeking to get a reaction from the community.

I reported earlier this morning about The Great Oberlin College Racism Hoax of 2013.
An open question is who knew what and when. Clearly the Oberlin administration and the local police were aware of the culprits and that it was a hoax prior to the campus rallies.
But what about the Board of...
A massive racism hoax took place at Oberlin College in February 2013 in which two students made seemingly racist, anti-Semitic and other such posters, graffiti and emails for the purpose of getting a reaction on campus, not because they believed the hostile messages. At least one of the two was an Obama supporter with...
It has been over two months since a series of racist, sexist and homophobic slurs were found written on the campus of Oberlin College.
When a student reported seeing someone in a Klan outfit — a sighting which likely w...
Oberlin College cancelled classes based on a report that an individual was seen wearing a KKK-hood.
It turned out that the mystery figure likely was a woman in a
blanket.
As we wait for further details as to who was
behind hate-graffiti in the weeks prior to the dramatic school
closure, and what their motivations...
Very strange.
Local police are quoted as saying they have identified two students possibly connected to the rash of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay writings on campus, but were uncertain as to their motives.
As detailed yesterday, the Oberlin administration is not willing to talk about it, to the point of being unwilling to...
There have been numerous reported instances at Oberlin College of writings scrawled on campus using racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay language. That backdrop led to a shut-down of classes and mass gatherings of students when there was a reported sighting of someone in a Klan outfit, which turned out just to be
How fitting that on the day a supposed sighting of the KKK at Oberlin College was revealed to be nothing more than a woman wrapped in a blanket, the Southern Poverty Law Center released its latest scare tool, New Report: Radical antigovernment movement continues explosive growth:
The number of conspiracy-minded antigovernment “Patriot”...
Oberlin College experienced some campus drama Monday with a report of someone dressed in KKK garb on campus. Via Slate:
