TPolice believe that actor Jussie Smollett orchestrated against him a crime earlier this month is the latest in a series of stories invented of racist incidents that people have been peddling since the entry into office of President Trump.
The writer Andy Ngo compiled a list similar incidents since the elections.
A few days before polling day, an African American church in Mississippi was set on fire during arson. The words "Vote Trump" were written on the building. A local police investigation determined that a church member had organized the attack.
A man from Malden, Massachusetts, said in November 2016 that two white men had threatened to lynch him and told him that it was "the Trump country now". The story has been debunked by the police.
A few days after this election, an Asian student from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis said that she had been verbally harassed by a white man who had told her to return to Asia. She claimed to have fought and then the police officers who came to her handcuffed the handcuffs. Police said she had no case of response to such an incident.
The same month, a Muslim student from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette claimed that two Trump supporters had been violently assaulted, removed his hijab from the head and stole. The story was later found to be false.

In 2017, a student from St. Olaf College, Minnesota, said she found a note on the windshield of her car containing a threatening message. The police later said that she had invented the story.
After an immigrant-owned business in Charlotte in April 2017, investigators found a note saying "Trump is our nation builder for White America". The police then arrested a black man named Curtis Flournoy.
The same year, a black student from the University of Kansas said that his car had been vandalized with racist messages. The school canceled classes and demonstrations broke out on campus. The alleged victim, Dauntarius Williams, later admitted to vandalizing his own car and staged the incident. He was not accused of making a false report.
Last September, a black woman from Long Island, New York, said that a Trump supporter had verbally confronted her and she later discovered that her tire had been cut off and a note on the car indicated "go home". She then confessed to having invented the story.
After the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre in late October, someone vandalized a Brooklyn synagogue with Nazi slogans. The suspect was later identified as a homosexual black man who had collaborated with the city council as part of an anti-hate campaign.
In November, Goucher College discovered graffiti on the campus containing Ku Klux Klan and Nazi brands, as well as black student names. A black student was finally recognized as responsible.
