I've alluded to this phenomenon in the past, but here's another example of a situation where people, who claim to be interested in hings like truth, have bought into something and stick with it even when it's proven to be false.
I understand the power of a narrative, but the fact that it seems more commonplace that the narrative trumps the truth, call into question the motives of many vocal people.
Perhaps if we were more focused on what's true, less on what moves our favorite narrative forward, and less inclined to jump to conclusions, our national discourse might be more profitable.

It's pretty clear the the entire purpose is not concern for presumed victims of racism or police brutality, but to further an agenda that is self-serving in a very negative, unethical way. Why would anyone want to insist what is not happening is happening except for some perceived profit of some kind? It has to be connected to the demand for reparations and whatever money that will provide. Pretending the death of someone like George Floyd or Rayshard Brooks is the result of racism may convince the general public that money, or perhaps simply special privileges (beyond what is already provided) is owed.
The fact that some people continue to believe both the hoaxes and the false narratives tends to support the conclusion that truth isn’t on the agenda at all. As long as the narrative continues. Of course and black folk who choose truth over the narrative get vilified and become the target of all sorts of racist slurs.
I think a good sign of a false narrative is how those who promote do nothing to learn and understand why others don't buy in and/or why they buy into something else. Note how certain lefties haven't asked us why we believe what we believe. They're equally disinterested in explaining why they believe what they believe in a manner that's akin to an actual discussion and exchange ideas. They just want to demonize and assert.
