Who could possibly have anticipated this shocking and entirely unforeseeable plot twist? I, for one, am gobsmacked.

Seriously. This one was a gimme. Y’all need to Internet better.

+1, as soon as I read the article I knew the girl was lying.

This is a nasty thing for any kid to do. But she is a KID. Once the story gets backed by adults and written up by reporters who should know better, it hits another level.

I would be shocked if any white boys at a school like this even acknowledged a black girl. It’s more likely that they treat her like she’s invisible.

Sounds reminiscent to the N word incident on a school bus at Frost middle school 1-2 years ago.

I know, I’m so sorry to say that the first thing that occurred to me in reading about this was that white people don’t know and use the word “nappy.” I would think especially white teenage boys would have no idea what this means. It did make me fear that whatever happened was not exactly as the girl recounted.

Tell me more white person. Explain how this black girl made this up. Go on. Share your wisdom about these matters.

Hi there! “White person” here. Since you asked, I am including a link to the Washington Post, which explains that “this black girl made this up.” I hope you have the honesty to admit that the skeptics about this story have been entirely vindicated.

Why are you all so gleeful that this was made up? Smh.

It is sad but it is true that there's a clear pattern at work, fuelled by the media industrial complex fighting for views and readers.

Editorial standards have apparently gone out the window even at the Times.

nobody was waiting for your opinion

Apology accepted, even if not offered.

Now let’s forget about this incident and let the families (of the accused and accuser) heal.

I think they are happy that the girl was not actually subjected to an attack. Isn’t that a good thing?

The story of the boys attacking the girl sounded awful and scary. I am glad to hear that the girl did not actually experience an awful event like that. If I were her guardians, I would be upset with her for lying, but I’d be happy that it hadn’t actually happened to her, if that makes sense.

Other posters were conceitedly shaking their heads and clutching their pearls at the idea that someone could second guess the veracity of the story. It turns out it was a false flag - again. I can see why people might be a little happy the pearl clutches were wrong.
