New in PJ Media:
They thought they finally had a genuine racist, white supremacist hate crime in the Sacramento City Unified School District on Friday, and the excitement was palpable. At C.K. McClatchy High School in Lake Park, Calif., someone wrote “white” above one water fountain, and “colored” over another. Jim Crow had returned, finally, after so many years of race victimhood propagandists longing for him to come back, and Sacramento City Unified School District Superintendent Jorge Aguilar was ready with his best this-cannot-stand face as he intoned: “I am both angry and heartsick that racist graffiti was discovered on the C. K. McClatchy campus today. We take this incident very seriously. Racism and racist language will not be tolerated in our schools.”
Right! Only the inevitable fly had to land in the ointment: it turned out that the perp wasn’t a racist, redneck, MAGA-hat-wearing yahoo out of central casting, but a black female student at McClatchy getting ahead of the victimhood game. Once that came out, Aguilar and other Sacramento officials shifted gears so quickly you’d have thought they were in the Indy 500.
First, there was the usual effort to gaslight us into thinking that it’s 1953, and Bull Connor is president of the United States. Richard Owen, whom the Sacramento Bee identifies as “a concerned father of five children,” saw the water foundation graffiti as just one manifestation of a systemic problem: “There’s something about our culture in the Sacramento City school district that has to be addressed. The inequities, the performance of black kids, the racism, it has to stop.”
Berry Accius of a group called Voice of the Youth likewise gave the impression that Theodore Bilbo and George Wallace were stalking around Sacramento. “This is simply an enactment of the 1950s in 2022,” he thundered. “More hateful images and racist rhetoric. Until these schools adopt a more zero tolerance Policy on racist behavior, there will be others bold enough to attempt more racist acts.”
Yes, that’s it, Berry! It’s all because Sacramento City Unified School District tolerates racism that this sort of thing keeps happening! Accius’ remark was yet another example of how disconnected from reality these Leftist activists are, and the disconnect got even worse when it came to light on Friday that a black student had taken it upon herself to label the water fountains “white” and “colored.”
Mark Harris, a community liaison for the school district, said the student confessed, and emphasized that the confession was genuine. She also had been caught on video scrawling the graffiti. “I’ve been practicing law for 40 years,” Harris said, “people typically don’t confess to things they didn’t do, unless they’re under duress or coercion. And nobody has claimed that; not her, not her family. There is video corroborating her confession.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Appropriating a recent Buick commercial: “it’s so them”.

Yeah, black kids. Stop performing! Especially your graffiti performance art.

Maybe if they were “in school” instead of “hangin in da hood” ……

All the streets are brown, and the sky is grey
Be careful where you walk, especially by the bay
No one’s safe and warm, living in LA
California Dreamin’, has met its dying day

Jim Crow Returned in Sacramento, Leftists Went Wild, But Yes, It Was Yet Another Fake Hate Crime
……………….
I’d missed this story here–probably because it went away so fast when discovered that it was yet another hoax. Good grief.

One smart alec kid writes white and colored on water fountains and the world comes unglued. Haven’t people anything bertte to do with their time. A little soap and water would have solved the whole thing. KEN

I think this was worse than a “smart alec kid”–this was intended to be seen as done by a “white supremacist”, when it is was anything but.
OLD GUY says
Hey how dare some Black Supremacist write Colored over a water fountain and white over another.
Just plain STUPID keeping this racist cheap shots going, it is not helping anyone but the activist who make a good living off of keeping it going.
