Let's see if this gets the level of coverage the first part of the story did.

    So this uproar was triggered by a "false flag" operation by one of the five so-called victims himself? A deceitful provocation for political ends? Where is the dignity and respect in that?

      1) Yes.
      2) Well, who knows his motives. Maybe he was flunking out, and wanted a pass. Maybe it was politics.
      3) There is none.

      It would simply be better if we all acknowledged that we shouldn't discriminate, and stopped the endless chanting, kneeling and whining about an issue that is long gone. It is almost like a someone realized that if the issue weren't renewed, the preferential treatment would end. It is not just black issues, but Hispanics and women. Somehow Asians escape all this...by working hard and having a better average income as a minority than the Caucasian majority.

      The perceived end justifies the means. (For black racists yet also for progressives, Antifa socialists, Jackass Party, communists, et alls
      When it was learned that "Hands up, don't shoot" never happened in Ferguson, what happened?
      BLM continued to march around, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot."
      And they still do.

      Hi OUC,
      One thing we can't control is someone else's prejudice. I figured out when young that prejudice
      Limits your expiriences with people place and thing. Using Caution being aware along with common sense and street smarts is the path I take. Whether I hate or like someone or group I
      have my reasons. Behaviour and manners, respect ,intelligence are qualities I value. The effort I put into hindering another human from living is a big fat zero. That zero is the amount of consideration I give to what some one thinks about me.
      If my disgust with wicked evil hateful violent thugs
      had any effect well.....it doesn't.

        I get what your saying but to the point: why would someone commit a racial slur upon one's self?...Maybe...the hero syndrome...one who crates a problem then rushes in to save the day...has an equal counterpart in victims...wanting attention, one creates a problem directed at himself.
        The problem here is that it promotes the false narrative...but I still can't help think there is more than that going on because that scenario just doesn't make any sense at all.

          This is called theMunchausen Syndrome it is an attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention to herself and to be the centre of attention.

          In Munchausen Syndrome, this is achieved by capitalising on, exploiting, exaggerating or feigning illness or injury or personal misfortune. The opportunities for being centre of attention can be increased if feigning victimhood through alleged victimisation, isolation, exclusion or persecution is added to the equation; the Munchausen person can then depict another person (often a family member) as a victimiser or persecutor and herself as the victim. Presenting herself as a false victim is also a Munchausen trait.

            Usually...the one's we hear about anyway, they try to poison themselves, drinking drano etc. So you think this can go as far as creating faux racism upon themselves?

            I can see the "Victim" connection though.

              Just a twist to get attention and sympathy .
              The cognitive dissonance so prevalent today is a
              Dangerous condition. It maybe partially responsible for the mass shootings of unknown victims. When A is anything and feelings trump thought and reason the brain eventually gets drugged or short Circuits.

                  The saying that a person has a chemical imbalance might actually be an electrical issue.

                  Brain stimulation therapies can play a role in treating certain mental disorders. Brain stimulation therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain directly with electricity. The electricity can be given directly by electrodes implanted in the brain, or noninvasively through electrodes placed on the scalp. The electricity can also be induced by using magnetic fields applied to the head. While these types of therapies are less frequently used than medication and psychotherapies, they hold promise for treating certain mental disorders that do not respond to other treatments.

                  Electroconvulsive therapy is the best studied brain stimulation therapy and has the longest history of use. Other stimulation therapies discussed here are newer, and in some cases still experimental methods. These include:

                  vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
                  repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
                  magnetic seizure therapy (MST)
                  deep brain stimulation (DBS)
                  A treatment plan may also include medication and psychotherapy. Choosing the right treatment plan should be based on a person's individual needs and medical situation, and under a doctor's care.

    Another example of "fake news" that main stream media will not correct. Nor will the "activist" such as Sharpton and his ilk correct themselves. It would damage their credibility to do so.

    [As seen through the Gulch comments looking glass]
    Why won't the MSM report on this story!? It's because the story relates to political extremists who think the ends justify the means. The media actually support these extremists, so they simply refuse to report the shocking facts. This is all very controversial news:
    - Jerks exist in the Air Force Academy.
    - The Air Force Academy says there's no place for this nonsense at the Academy.
    - The Academy investigated and found out it was a hoax. The hoax perpetrator confessed.
    Because of the highly controversial nature of this news, only fringe outlets have the temerity to cover it. I'm incensed that the mainstream media are supporting extremists by hiding politically controversial facts.
    [/looking glass]
    Meanwhile, back in the world of reality: https://nyti.ms/2jaz0RH

    I have no idea what I'm seeing through the kaleidoscope of anger. It's like my 7- and 9-year-olds bickering when it's way past their bedtime, and I realize their disjointed grievances make no sense. They'll wake up and feel better.

      "It's because the story relates to political extremists who think the ends justify the means."
      Oh, the Clintons. Seems like the MSM covers such things when it suits their biased agenda. Just not when it shows that some blacks are racist (just as are some whites, browns, and yellows.)

      "If you demean someone in any way, you need to get out,” General Silveria said"
      Did they expel the offender or was there discrimination by the Air Force?

      That is kind of cute. Of course the NYT got to it two days late. I would just point to the two titles:
      "Air Force Academy cadet wrote racial slur outside his own dorm room"
      "Target of Racist Graffiti Wrote It, Air Force Academy Says"
      One states it as a fact, like the allegation. the other states it as an opinion.

      Perhaps this just 3 days late title is even more to your liking. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...

      Perhaps your 7 and 9 yr olds are like my 18 and 22 yr olds, and don't even know what this is all about...except for the whining and kneeling.

        "Of course the NYT got to it two days late. "
        [Sarcasm]They were biting their nails figuring out how they could mollify extremists who base their whole world view on this bit of racism being real.

        What's with the Huffington Post headline? There's real racism in the world!!? Get out of here. No way. [/Sarcasm]
        Sorry for the middle-school level sarcasm. I really don't get what the heck it's all about, so I'm responding sarcastically. It all seems pretty basic to me. There's racism in the world, and normal people are doing what we can to stop it and not paradoxically making it worse by validating the view of grouping people based on physical appearance.

        It seems to me that some people are angry to begin with, and they think it's because someone they don't know is racist or because that same person turned out not to be racist.
