2 Montclair State University students charged with faking racist threats

Two students who reported racist threats on the door and wall of their New Jersey college dorm room have now been arrested as the source of the graffiti.

The words "BLACKS ONLY," were written on the wall, with an arrow pointed toward the dorm room. And on the door, someone wrote the N-word, and "Black B---- you will die."

One of the students, Olivia McRae, 19, told NBC New York at the time that she cried when she saw the graffiti.

The students reported the graffiti on Feb. 7. But Montclair State police said on Tuesday that officials had determined there was "sufficient probable cause to arrest" the two students as those responsible for the graffiti.

McRae and Tanasia Linton, 19, were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, false reports to law enforcement and criminal mischief.

McRae could not immediately be reached and Linton did not return an email seeking comment.

    Do we really need to have constant reminders of how stupid college students are, or is this another opportunity for everyone to argue about RACISM in America?

          You know the answer to that, why ask the question?

            No, actually I do not know that answer to that question which is why I asked it. Why anyone would fake being the victim of harrassment of any kind is beyond my scope of imagination.

              I think it has to do with who the President is, and the culture that has been spawned because of him. Maybe the Black students thought it would be ok to do this, and that they would be given a lot of special attention and that people would believe that despite having a black President, that racism is still significant in the US.

                Other than Jeff being an idiot...

                They did it because that's what girls do when they feel like they're not getting enough attention. They do it because they want to be special little cupcakes who were being discriminated against. So they make up stories to make themselves feel better.

                There were quite a few comments when this was first reported... all of them about the rampant racism still going on in America.

                Amazing how quiet it is on this thread today.

                I said in the other comment section when this first came out that whoever did it should be publicly humiliated.

                I stand by my statement still. They should be forced to stand in front of their dorm or wherever with signs saying that they facilitated racism.

                How disappointing. I'm feeling a bit duped now -- I actually believed the statements about wanting to improve herself and make something of her life.

                Stand them out in a public place with signs that say they facilitate racism in their environment. They deserve to be publicly humiliated for their behavior and attention whoring.

                Kincannon residence hall at 'Ole Miss in Nov 2002.....same thing when 3 black students scribbled racist graffiti on the doors of another black student. They succeeded in inciting "outrage" which led to candle light vigils, enforced education sessions ("awareness lessons") etc etc. This is becoming a theme in student behavior, and it is not restricted to certain minorities. This has been carried out by members of every "grievance" group. Just "google" "college", "hoax" and "graffiti", "rape" or "assault" and you will be shocked.

                  Why am I not shocked by this at all? Perhaps, she just wanted to move back home aye?

                  One of the students, Olivia McRae, 19, told NBC New York at the time that she cried when she saw the graffiti.

                  Translation, she was likely Laughing her hinnie off as she wrote it on the door herself.

                    It's fun to go back and read the comments from 4 days ago and see how one sided most of the post were. All the hate and anger was just another great example of the fact that there are those that will jump at the chance to SCREAM racism for any perceived affront, when the facts come out that there was no attack these same poster are silent.

                    Here is the link to the story from for days ago, http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/11/10385399-racist-threats-at-nj-university-warn-student-you-will-die

                    We should all be reminding them that faked racism is worse than real racism.

                    We Whites who are concerned about the ongoing destruction of our countries never need to make signs of this nature. All we have to do is point out that Africa is not being flooded with non-Africans, China is not being flooded with non-Chinese, Japan is not being flooded with non-Japanese. It is only White countries that are affected by this. It is a genocide against Whites. White people are supposed to embrace "diversity", which basically is code language for 'an end to Whites living among themselves'. No other people is being threatened in this way. So a sign on a dorm wall is probably just a ruse. All Whites have to do is to point out the obvious contradiction: that diversity is supposedly good, but requires the protection of speech codes. That only White countries are being inundated with aliens. That "tolerance" is always anti-white. It is all in aid of anti-White genocide.
