fake hate crimes: a database of hate crime hoaxes in the usa



The purpose of this site is to compile a comprehensive database of the false reports of "hate crimes" committed (mostly) in the USA. It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are also recommended.

summary
Cori Bush tweeted a screenshot of an alleged death threat. The screenshot still had the red asterisks of an unsubmitted form visible. o either someone emailed a screenshot of a form instead of submitting it anonymously or she made the screenshot herself. Most likely it was fabricated. Here is the tweet: https://twitter.com/CoriBush/status/1418222892769288192 She also tweeted screenshots of 3 emails which all happened to have their last words in all caps. Coincidence or more fake hate?
