Alicia Hardin, Exposed

April 15, 2006: Welcome to my blog! You’ve landed on this page through a Google search on “Alicia Hardin.” I’ve provided a brief update of the case in this post.

Update II: Alicia Hardin is going to have a hard time in life if she doesn’t learn to accept responsibility for her actions. She now claims she didn’t send the letters, and the cops “forced” her to say she did.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

By now most of you’ve heard about the black student at Trinity International University whose fake-hating caused the evacuation of minority students to a local hotel. We finally have a name to go with this treachery. Alicia Hardin has been charged with a hate crime for mailing “racist” threats to fellow students at the school. Why? Because she wanted to go home. She figure this stunt would convince her mother that the Christian college was “dangerous.”

The letters, filled with threats and racial slurs, were sent to two black students and a Hispanic student over the past three weeks. The third letter contained a threat to use a weapon against a black female student.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who met with students and parents after the letters were made public, said last week, “It was painful to talk with the students. They feel there are targets on their back because they are black, because they are involved in interracial dating relationships.”

However, the president of the university, Gregory Waybright, said Friday that there was no mention of interracial dating in the letters. (Source)

Whatever, Jesse.

I suppose some compassion is in order. At least the person who wrote this story feels that way. What Hardin did was “sad” and everyone is “brokenhearted.” Had the perpetrator been white, particularly a white male, this story would have been filled to the brim with harsh words and overtones of retribution, peppered with references to “slavery,” “oppression,” and the “KKK.” But what Hardin did is no less serious because she’s black. It’s worse. She deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

This Chicago Tribune story leaves the impression that we ought to feel sorry for Hardin:

Martin granted the prosecutor’s request, and set a 24-hour curfew for Hardin, restricting her to home except to go to work or meet with her attorneys. After Hardin told the court she did not believe her family could afford a lawyer, the judge also assigned a public defender to the case.

Hardin appeared confused in court. Questions put to her often had to be repeated as she stood before the judge, her arms wrapped around herself, softly answering “yes, ma’am” or “no, ma’am.”

The defendant told the judge she was taking anti-anxiety medication and had a prior arrest record from 1998 or 1999, when she was charged with battery and criminal damage to property.

Awwwww, poor thing. I do feel sorry for her, though. I’m sorry that she’s a troubled and immature young woman who hasn’t learned to handle problems like an adult. Apparently, her previous arrest at 12 or 13 (!) didn’t do much for her, so perhaps this one will. But I suspect the authorities will go easy on her.

I’m starting to believe a lot of “hate crimes” are hoaxes. In the case of threatening letters, the perpetrators want us to believe that the letters were written by a white “racist.” Most major news outlets provide blanket coverage of these stories, playing up the “intolerance” theme for all it’s worth.

Suspected hoaxes:

• Actor Taye Diggs and his wife received threatening letters.
• Black athletes with white wives and girlfriends received “hate” mail.
• “Angry Caucasian Woman” is probably an “Angry Black Woman.”

Proven Hoaxes:

• Campuses are ripe for kookery.
• Kerri Dunce Dunn vandalizes her own car.
• Harsh words for homosexual fake-hate.
• Those crazy kids!
• Update: I forgot about Tawana Brawley! (I don’t like citing Wikipedia, but…)

I don’t want to turn my blog into a repository of the latest “hate crime” news, but someone has to expose this race-based idiocy. I reluctantly volunteer.

Update — Mary Mitchell, Chicago Sun Times:

As strange as all this may sound to white people, the average black person understands that Hardin was neither mentally ill, desperate or stupid when she allegedly mailed letters containing racial slurs to black students. She was brilliant in the way that only manipulative children can be.

Hardin wanted to shake up her parents to the point that she would have her way. So she played the one card that she knew would trump any other card in the deck. She seems to have created a situation in which they would be worried that her life could be in danger.

If race wasn’t involved, maybe Hardin could have gotten away with her scheme. But Trinity officials weren’t taking any chances and evacuated all the non-white students…Besides harming her family with her lies, Hardin probably doesn’t have a clue about the backlash she may have caused…A lot of white people already believe allegations of racism are overblown or are outright lies.
