Why would someone make up a fake racism crime? I don’t know for sure since I’ve never made up a fake crime about anything, but an easy inference to draw would be because being an alleged victim of a hate crime garners positive and empathetic coverage in a news media that doesn’t ever question any of the details. That’s particularly the case when you look at all the recent examples of fake racism that have been given prominent media attention. We should examine the facts of every case without regard for the race, gender or sexual orientation of the individuals involved. Just like we shouldn’t believe every single story alleging any crime. Look, I’m not saying that racism doesn’t exist in this country, just that we shouldn’t immediately believe every single story alleging racism. Now the moment I click publish on this story everyone on social media in the left wing sports media will immediately call me racist for having the audacity to write this story, but how is it racist to follow up on a massive sports story to see if a crime actually occurred? Isn’t that the job of the media?

I promise to continue to check back - and have without any additional update provided - but after six months there is no public evidence that a crime actually happened outside LeBron James’s mansion.Īnd the story has just vanished from all media coverage like many of these stories do. Usually with something high profile or newsworthy, we are provided follow up information to give out to the media when it’s available. I know detectives were investigating, but no further was provided to us.

We have heard no further with regards to that incident since it happened back in May of this year.

“Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. Well, in the wake of multiple fake racism stories exploding on the national scene in the past several weeks - with Michael Bennett in Las Vegas being proven a liar about the police, at Air Force, at Kansas State, and at Eastern Michigan - all stories where the alleged perpetrator ended up being a lying black man trying to draw attention to himself with allegations of fake racism, I thought it made sense to reach back out to the Los Angeles Police department and find out the latest on the LeBron James racist graffiti investigation.Īnd the Los Angeles Police department email update to me was pretty eye opening: Here was my article from immediately after the alleged crime occurred. The sports media immediately fell all over themselves to pronounce LeBron a heroic victim and cast the blame upon a presumed racist white person.Īt Outkick we took some heat from the usual media circles for suggesting we wait to see who was responsible for the graffiti before we utilized this allegation to provide further evidence that our world view was correct. Six months ago LeBron James reported racist graffiti had been spraypainted on the gate of his $21 million dollar Los Angeles mansion.
