Is this an isolated incident or is race-baiting the new normal? What impact will such incidences have on race relations in this country?

Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, of Union – a black alum who graduated in May – was charged by summons with third-degree creating a false public alarm.
Park said an investigation by the Union County Prosecutor's Office's Special Prosecutions Unit and Kean University police found that McKelvey, a self-proclaimed activist, participated in a student rally to raise awareness of racism on college campuses on Nov. 17, but left midway through and walked to a computer station in a university library. Once there, McKelvey allegedly created an anonymous Twitter account – @keanuagainstblk – and began posting threats of violence against black Kean students.

I don't think it's so isolated. This type of thing seems to be popping up more and more. Not necessarily advocating violence, but race baiting in
There's the rumors of Michelle Obama saying something like "It's whitey's fault..." or something to that effect, but I'm not sure if it's actually true or not.

I hope this is an isolated incidence and not a new trend for race-baiting.
