Narrative Destroyed: Chicago PD Releases Photos of Grant Park Cross Burning Suspect — Not the White Supremacist Story Pushed by Leftists
Red State Nation ^ | 12 June 2026 | Ann Stossel

Another leftist narrative just took a direct hit.

On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, a 6-foot wooden cross was set on fire in Chicago’s Grant Park in broad daylight. Within hours, activists and media figures on the left were quick to label it a racist “cross burning” by white supremacists — the usual script they pull out whenever something like this happens.

Why not? Democrats paying the true race hate groups is not exactly a new thing. They are the Scooby-Do villains. Always. When the masks come off...poof, it’s Democrats. Again and forever.

What makes me smile? It was southern Democrats the started the KKK and the black folks are too dumb to know they’re still getting played. Pretty sad.

The images show a shirtless young man in his 20s with dark hair, dark pants, white sneakers, and a backpack. He has noticeably high cheekbones and Asian features — consistent with Korean or Japanese descent.

Koreans have the reputation of being racist. They believe that Koreans are the master race.

They do not like whites but they feel that Blacks are the lowest race.

There are Christian Koreans but I don't understand them burning a cross unless they are adopting KKK philosophy.

Cross burnings are so 1950s or even earlier. The demand for these incidents greatly exceeds the supply of fools willing to perform them.

Asians are “white-adjacent”, according to the loons.

I wonder if these nazi symbols, cross burnings, etc. actually bother the ordinary folks. Is it just another excuse to be outraged fueled and fostered by the race baiters?
