A white youth who was falsely accused of committing a hate crime against his black classmate has been awarded $3.2 million after a Texas jury determined the incident was a hoax fabricated by the classmate’s money-grubbing mother and her race-hustling attorney.
The scam unfolded in 2021, when Summer Smith — the mother of then-middle school student SeMarion Humphrey — and her lawyer, Kim T. Cole, accused Humphrey’s white classmate, Asher Vann, and his friends of shooting Humphrey with BB guns and forcing him to drink urine during a sleepover at Vann’s house in Plano, Texas, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The accusations gained national attention after a Black Lives Matter group joined the fray, falsely characterizing the incident as a “racially motivated hate crime.”
“Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, People magazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story as Humphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann ‘evil,’” the Free Beacon reported.
“The trio appeared on ‘Good Morning America,’ where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey’s ‘therapy and private schooling.’”
As a result of the sham allegations, Vann — an eighth-grader when the incident erupted — said he received countless death threats, and multiple violent protests erupted outside his home, the outlet reported.
“I was getting death threats from thousands of people on social media,” Vann told the Free Beacon. “People leaked my address and my name. During one of the protests, they walked all the way to my house and threw bricks through my house.”
Vann, who’s now a college freshman, said he was traumatized by the vicious character assassination and the violent threats leveled against him.
“It was scary,” Vann said. “These were adults, and I was in middle school at the time. Full-grown adults were rushing my house and causing harm to it. What if I was home and they saw me? They could have ripped me from my home and beaten me. It was very scary.”
In October 2025, a jury concluded Smith and Cole “cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and to rake in money through GoFundMe,” the Free Beacon reported.
“Court records show that Smith put less than $1,000 of the nearly $120,000 GoFundMe windfall toward her son’s schooling,” the Free Beacon reported.
“Account statements reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent.”
A judge issued the $3.2 million order for damages on Jan. 22, according to the news outlet.
For reference, the racially diverse jury had four black members.
At trial, Plano Police officer Patricia McClure testified that no hate crime occurred during the week-long winter sleepover involving a group of eighth-grade boys.
…….Vann also testified that Humphrey was never forced to drink urine at the sleepover, and never drank any.
“This one kid, he did a prank before where he pissed in a cup and gave it to his little brother,” Vann testified. “I woke SeMarion up, handed him the cup. He put it up to his nose, but he didn’t drink it.”
Vann continued: “He put it up to his mouth, willingly and on his own accord, and gave it back because he knew it wasn’t water. Nothing was forced. Everything his mom claimed happened was portrayed in the wrong light.”
At this point, the public is well aware that bogus “hate crimes” are a dime a dozen.
…….Constantly demonizing white people while infantilizing black people is a recipe for more fake hate crimes and further social unrest.
The bitch and her spawn should be in jail.
Remember when Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandman was falsely accused of harassing a Native American Freon Ranger (who was known for stolen valor), and was attacked by the liberal media and received numerous death threats? CNN had to settle a lawsuit over that.
Fake hate crimes and contrived ‘racist’ accusations are the livelihood of the ‘woke’ population of screeching rectoids.
Jussie Smollett, gay actor and attention whore, decided to hire a couple of Nigerian brothers to physically ‘attack’ him on a street in Chicago and fling some racial slurs for extra emphasis.
Then there was black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, who claimed that a “noose” had been placed in his garage at the Talladega Superspeedway in June 2020. It turned out to be a garage door-pull that had been there since at least 2019.
The air force academy discovered that racial slurs were a hoax after the superintendent ranted like an idiot at 4000 cadets.
