Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War

Front Cover
Simon and Schuster, Feb 26, 2019 - Political Science - 256 pages
If you believe the news, today's America is plagued by an epidemic of violent hate crimes.

But is that really true?

In 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 unprecedented epidemic of hate crime hoaxes.
