A student on the campus of\u00a0Bowling Green State University reported that she saw a KKK member, dressed in a hood, in one of the classrooms. \u00a0Here\u2019s a screen shot of her tweet \u2014 but her account has understandably been made private since this incident. \u00a0(The \u201cplay button\u201d doesn\u2019t work, but I\u2019ve screen shotted the \u201chooded Klansman\u201d in the photo above.)<\/p>\n

But when the university investigated this possible racist activity, turns out is was\u00a0a piece of laboratory equipment with a cover over it.<\/p>\n

As Jim Geraghty wrote on National Review<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\u2026 how likely is it that in 2017, a Klan member could walk into or work in a university building, in full Klan hood and sheets, and not be noticed? How likely is it that no one would react, or object, or cause a scene? We live in a flawed country and a flawed world, and racism exists. But a little common sense is in order.\u00a0The average white person sitting next to you on the bus is extremely unlikely to be a Klan member, or a white supremacist, or a Klan sympathizer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, we all make mistakes. \u00a0This happened to be the kind of mistake that epitomizes Obama\u2019s \u201cpost-racial\u201d America.<\/p>\n
