These kind of incidents are far from rare; though admittedly those that actually get media attention turn out to have a disproportionately high rate of falsehood. (Not usually of the "it never happened" kind, but of the "they did it themself" kind.)

I laughed when the news girl on the video said the racial slur cannot be shown on TV due to being too harsh
we know it's just another n-word , no need to make it sound like some kind of world war trigger words

According to a GoFundMe page for the family,

And my BS meter just exploded.

Wow a $10k goal?
$100 for the paint damage, couple hundred more for the presents, then 9 grand for therapy for the kids mirite?

Proud boys?

So how long before this is revealed as yet another hate crime hoax?

It happened to my family a few years ago, and we live in New York City, not exactly the Deep South. They just spray painted the n-word all over the place, including the fence.

A news crew just so happened to be in the area because either a murder or robbery happened nearby, I forget. They asked if wed be okay with an interview and an interview was had.

My dad never painted over it, never felt like it and it didnt bother him. Said if they want to be stupid, let the symbol of their stupidity stay out there loud and proud. Eventually one day he woke up to it gone. Itd be funny if it was the same vandals who somehow had a change of heart.

Oh for sure, I'm not saying they're always false. But also - notice his reaction, compared to those of the ones in the stories that tend to go viral, where they're generally ranting to no end and often set up a GoFundMe or similar a few days later.

For real. Especially since theyre trying to take in thousands of dollars more than the alleged damages since they made a Gofundme with a 10,000 goal.

Ah, gotcha gotcha.

Setting up a GoFundMe didnt even cross my mind when that went down. I mean, yeah, had to get the vehicles repainted, but didnt think any random strangers would care enough to give money to make that happen.

How much money did the family above get for theirs?

Not sure how much they've got, but they're asking for $10k, and these GoFundMes usually go far beyond their target (which I'd be willing to bet they're well aware of). Which is far more than it will actually cost to repair the vehicle and replace the stolen items.

Why would they make up hate

A few hundred will go towards the repairs. The rest towards a luxury holiday.

...for the attention, the narrative, and the $10k+ GoFundMe?

It is pretty suspicious that they just happened to have thousands of dollars in cash and Christmas presents (in mid-October) sitting in an unaccompanied vehicle parked on the street

Lol victim blaming.

Right? What kind of idiot leaves that much cash in a car and why?
