Gruesome claims that Native Canadian children were buried en masse have completely unravelled.
When events occur that are important, but awkward and hard to discuss, the public should not be encouraged simply to move on and forget them. We often hear this line from good-faith leftists. Sometimes, as in the context of a historical lynching, those making this point have a real and significant case.
But there is another side to this. Frankly put, most high-profile recent US / UK narratives of racial conflict have turned out to be largely or entirely falsified. Stories touching on race are often misreported, and hoaxes are often uncritically believed by the media. The outlets and individuals who promote these storylines should not – cannot – be allowed to simply move on and forget them when they collapse.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A Black resident of Buffalo, New York, told investigators he anonymously tweeted out a fake threat to commit mass killings against Black people in his community, days after a real mass shooting, because he wanted to see if racists would cheer him on, according to federal prosecutors.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said Thursday that the suspect, 24, said in a May 16 post that he and “associates” would target Black people at area grocery stores — two days after a white gunman from Conklin, New York, opened fire at a Tops Friendly Market and killed 10 people.
He “stated that the purpose of the post was to see what everyone would say and if anyone would agree with him,” according to an FBI agent’s affidavit supporting the charge.
Fallen “Empire” star Jussie Smollett has defiantly declared he’s “not a piece of s–t” after “gaining clarity” during his recent mini-prison stint — but many viewers of the 2022 BET Awards aren’t ready to let him off the hook just yet.
Smollett, 40, made his controversial return to the red carpet at Sunday Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater — after being sprung in March when he served only six days of his 150-day sentence in March for five counts of felony disorderly conduct at Cook County Jail in Chicago.
While there were abuses at residential schools—which were a result of the Canadian government’s desire to provide free compulsory education to children living on reservations where there were no schools—what we’ve seen is a bunch of crazy lies.

Behind the scenes of the removal of residential schools memorial from Parliament Hill
OTTAWA — The federal government had originally hoped to remove a Parliament Hill memorial dedicated to Indigenous children who died and went missing from residential schools months earlier than actually happened last year, according to newly released documents.
Hundreds of tiny shoes, stuffed animals and flowers began appearing around the Centennial Flame in front of Parliament’s Centre Block last spring, after the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation announced ground-penetrating radar had found the possible remains of about 200 children on the site of a former residential school near Kamloops, B.C.

Jussie Smollett’s attorneys say they’re planning to appeal nearly everything that went on in court over the last few months — from the actor’s December conviction of lying to police to the 150-day sentence a judge imposed last week. And they want the actor to be released from jail immediately rather than wait for the outcome.

CHICAGO — Jussie Smollett was ordered released from jail Wednesday by an appeals court that agreed with his lawyers that he should be released pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.
The ruling came after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to immediately begin serving 150 days in jail for his conviction on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police. The appeals court said Smollett could be released after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000.
Jussie Smollett’s lawyers want the disgraced actor immediately sprung from jail, claiming he and his family are the target of “vicious threats,” including a phone call that alluded to the notorious case of a sodomized New York City man.
Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women, a grade 6 through grade 12 school located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, announced Thursday that its investigation into the graffiti containing a racial slur has ended with a student coming forward and taking responsibility for writing the offensive message.
Five days into his 75-day jail sentence, Jussie Smollett is now complaining that he is at risk of COVID in jail and is worried about his mental health so should be let out early.
Smollett, 39, is being held in the medical unit of the Cook County Jail.
His family say he is being held in the psych ward and that there’s a note on the door of his cell saying he is at risk of self-harm – which they insist isn’t true.
