Fabricating MORE faux bigotry

This really seems to be becoming a thing ~
 
Fake Hate: Virginia Girl Admits She Made Up ‘Hair Cut’ Assault at School Where Karen Pence Teaches ~

It was all over the major papers late last week, when 12-year-old Amari Allen, a black student, claimed that three white boys held her down and forcibly cut some of her dreadlocks at their Christian school […]

 
(The NYT and other outlets breathlessly reported the sixth-grader’s accusation in a phone interview. “They put me on the ground,” she claimed. “One of them put my hands behind my back. One put his hands over my mouth. One cut my hair. They were saying that my hair was ugly, that it was nappy.” And Twitter was all lit up because of the supposed Mike Pence connection — his wife Karen teaches at the Immanuel Christian School where the assault never happened.

 

According to ABC News, it was “traumatizing” ~

Amari said the traumatizing incident happened during recess on Monday at a time when teachers and administrators weren’t around. That’s when three male classmates pinned her down to a slide on the playground, held her hands behind her back and clipped her dreadlocks with scissors, she said.
 
They also covered her mouth so she couldn’t yell for help, she said.

“I felt hurt but also angry,” Amari told ABC Washington, D.C., station WJLA on Thursday. “Why would they do this. … Is it only me that’s being affected?”
 
She said she tried to avoid telling her family because she feared retaliation, but she finally opened up about the experience on Wednesday.

 
Today however, seems it was just another racist fabrication ~

WASHINGTON (WMAL) – The family of a black girl who claimed white classmates pinned her down and cut her hair issued a mea culpa after she admitted she made up the story.
 
Monday the 12-year-old student at Immanuel Christian School in Springfield admitted she made up the story that had people throughout the nation condemning her classmates as racists […]
 
Her story made national news at a time when racial tensions are high around the country. She and her family even went on network news shows condemning the boys and describing their pain.
 
Monday Amari Allen’s family issued a statement apologizing to the boys and the school community.
 
“To those young boys and their parents, we sincerely apologize for the pain and anxiety these allegations have caused,” the Allen family wrote.

 

It’s encouraging to see that Allen has confessed and seems remorseful. But of course the truth doesn’t especially matter to the Left anymore. The original fiction has already been established as “fact” in the minds of millions of sheeple, so the America-is-horribly-racist myth will continue to be perpetuated.

(B)eyond the outrage, there has also been an outpouring of support for Amari from all across the country. Four women in particular — Tish Perkins, Amanda Alexander, Jessica Harris, and Natasha Banks — drove from Richmond, Virginia Sunday morning to surprise Amari with gifts and words of encouragement in person.
 
“We wanted to come here today to let you know we love you, we see you, we stand with you and we are here to protect and preserve your black girl magic,” Perkins said.

Wonder how these well-intentioned women feel today about being duped?
