A United States Air Force investigation found that a black airman of the 56th Fighter Wing stationed at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, faked racist messages from his supervisor.
The black senior airman apparently invented an exchange with a white technical sergeant, whom he accused of denying him a special duty assignment on the basis of his skin color, Task & Purpose reported.
The airman made the race-based allegations after posting the alleged text exchange to the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page, according to the Air Force Times.
