What's this?

It is odd that seemingly most of these racist attacks that have gotten

national attention have been hoaxes. I can remember at least 7 to 10 in the last couple of years.

I am not challenging the premise that there is a problem, just observing how corrupt the media has become in their coverage. And that is not a terribly insightful or original observation - Joey Behar already admitted to it.
