White Power Graffiti in Idaho Is Hate Hoax

It isn’t easy to find the white supremacism that liberals claim is endemic. Let’s try Idaho:

The words “White Power” were found spray-painted on the side of Caldwell High School last Thursday, two days after the high school held a “Brown Pride” protest, the Idaho Statesman reported. The Tuesday protest was held in support of a student who was told to remove a hooded sweatshirt reading “Brown Pride” because other people reportedly found it “racist,” the outlet reported.

According to Caldwell High School Principal Anita Wilson, the “Brown Pride” shirt was forbidden not because it was thoughtcrime like a “White Pride” shirt would be, but because “Caldwell has had a gang problem before, and ‘Brown Pride’ is associated with gangs.”

Despite the likelihood that it was a hate hoax, authorities could be counted on to clutch their pearls theatrically over the “White Power” graffiti. Caldwell Chief of Police Rex Ingram proclaimed that “we will not tolerate hate in our city.”

Anyone with a clue knew how this would end:

On Friday, police provided an update that the graffiti vandalism is believed to be a “diversion tactic” used by one of the Hispanic gangs in the area to avoid being caught by police, and “was possibly done to exploit the recent protest at Caldwell High School.” …

“I am proud of the investigative effort given by our detectives in this matter, who quickly determined this incident to not be a hate crime,” Ingram said.

Please welcome Caldwell, Idaho Hispanic gangs to the Hate Hoax List.
