Leveraging Lies: Black UVA AA Alum Exploits Hoax after Hoax after Hoax

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix

The following letter to the editor of UVA’s alumni magazine is a farrago of racist and sexist lies—all of it. There was no “series of acts of racial harassment against black or multiracial students,” rape hoaxer Jackie Coakley’s allegations had not been tested in a court of law “in part due to the University’s apparent failure to pursue them,” but entirely due to Coakley’s refusal to pursue them, because she’d have been in danger of being prosecuted for perjury and malicious prosecution; and rape was (notwithstanding black rapists victimizing white coeds) not “a problem at UVA and at colleges and universities across the country.” There was no “news about sexual assault” at UVA.

The problems were rape and hate crime hoax culture, promoted by the letter-writer and other members of affirmative action groups. Thus, I have no doubt that he was admitted to and graduated from UVA based on purely political criteria, and was academically and morally unfit to attend, and that it would be best for future white UVA students, if he and his wife did not send any of their children there.

Rolling Stone response




I have felt compelled to send this letter for some time as I have followed the news about sexual assault at the University. I recently read an article in the Washington Post regarding former Dean Nicole Eramo’s defamation lawsuit against Rolling Stone, currently under litigation. It appears that the discussion of the conversation about rape at the University and how allegations of sexual assault are handled by the administration has centered on the article in Rolling Stone. It is important to keep in mind that, regardless how complete the truth behind the allegations in Jackie’s story—which have not been tested in a court of law in part due to the University’s apparent failure to pursue them—rape is a problem at UVA and at colleges and universities across the country. It has become very difficult to wear UVA gear with pride or encourage my wife to send our future daughter to UVA given the response of the University to complaints of rape and the culture of rape at our school.

I cannot help but think about my time as a member of the black student community in the early 2000s and the series of acts of racial harassment against black or multiracial students—from the attack on Daisy Lundy (Com ’05, Educ ’12) during her run for Student Council president my first year, to the hate-filled message posted on the door of my neighbor on the Lawn my fourth year. One of the greatest challenges was maintaining the focus on implementing institutional changes after the media attention from an incident had faded. The problem is not about that act of hate committed against one person—but about the culture at UVA, that, despite many people’s best efforts, supports a power dynamic that marginalizes certain disempowered groups and does not penalize the behavior.

The University of Virginia is one of the finest schools in the world, a “bulwark of the human mind in this hemisphere,” according to its father, Thomas Jefferson. It should stand up as a leader and vigorously pursue allegations of rape and provide advocates for victims. UVA should ensure that students who engage in these acts are punished severely and should use every amount of weight it has to insist that they be criminally prosecuted and forced to respond to the allegations in a court of law.
