I lived in Connecticut back when the huckster Al Sharpton marqueed the grievance industry as he cried for the hate crime committed on Tawana Brawley. Tawana said some white men held her captive, raped her, smeared feces in racial insults over her body and left her.
After the smoke cleared, it was found out little Tawana was out partying with her boyfriend and didn't want her folks to find out, so she made it up, even to smearing shit, which proved to be dogshit, over herself.
She should have landed in jail, as well as Sharpton.
