Tawana Brawley rape hoax

and playing basketball and being TV commercials.

Now, LeBron James trying to fool regular people by crying wolf over fake racism like Justin Smollett, the black girl who falsely accused the lacrosse players and Tawana Bradley and others.

Pro-black like LeBron James, Black Lives Matter, Colin Kaepernick, Beyonce, even Louis Farrakhan lives in an all-rich white neighborhood.

Some of them send their kids to rich white private schools, and some of them send them to his son's black college.

It'll be done for her.

Unlike, say, let me throw out there one person who made literally millions of dollars on lies, Al Sharpton, Tawana Brawley.

Remember? Yeah, that's what brought him up to power.

But the underlying allegations all turned out to be lies.

They, all the Democrats were grandstanding on it.

And of course, the one that we all remember, um, i- is Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley.

That was allegedly a gang rape committed by a white prosecutor and white policemen.

So every one of- They're dying for a white gang rape, just dying for it.

When they found out it was a lie, he kept going.

Before that, he's doing the thing with Tawana Brawley up in New York.

Didn't matter that the girl lied.

Didn't matter.

Um, but then, you know, they couldn't let it go, and then...

I, I think really the thing that kicked it off again was the Tawana Brawley thing up in-

Oh, yes

... upstate New-

Let me, let me ask you this, Shelby.

In the, in the film, you raise examples like, uh, Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley, and I wanna ask you, w- how does that chapter, you know, people who exploit-

Mm-hmm

...

the, U- America's past of racism in an environment where racism is not over, but it's considerably waned.

I mean, even back then when he raised those BS claims about Tawana Brawley, it, we were doing a lot better on race relations, but he couldn't acknowledge that.

You know, he wanted to inject something toxic and divisive, even if it was made up.

Here's...

This is a pretty incredible situation indeed.

For example, the elaborate rape hoax concocted by Tawana Brawley, her mother and Reverend Al Sharpton was accepted at face value by politicians in the media.

It brought about a virtual orgy of white guilt and anti-racist agitation, and we were made to feel that in some metaphysical way, we were all somehow responsible for what happened to this young black girl.

Finally, an intensive investigation revealed the hoax that should have been suspected early on.

You even heard the argument that if it didn't happen to her, it might have happened to someone else somewhere sometime.

It became a question of the identity of the victim and alleged victimizers, and not one of facts or evidence.

For many people, that Tawana Brawley was black was all they needed to know.

Nothing else carried as much significance as her minority status.
