Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left Is Selling a Fake Race War, Hardcover/Wilfred Reilly

Description If you believe the news, today's America is plagued by an epidemic of violent hate crimes. But is that really true? In Hate Crime Hoax , Professor Wilfred Reilly examines over one hundred widely publicized incidents of so-called hate crimes that never actually happened. With a critical eye and attention to detail, Reilly debunks these fabricated incidents--many of them alleged to have happened on college campuses--and explores why so many Americans are driven to fake hate crimes. We're not experiencing an epidemic of hate crimes, Reilly concludes--but we might be experiencing an unprecented epidemic of hate crime hoaxes .
