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.

SPLC employee?

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.

It’s a freaking Lowe’s cross. Come on man! Two 2x4s and pack of bubble yum!

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.

He looks like a white dude based on the blurry photo. I honestly cannot tell.

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.

[Kudsman]

You funny guy.

[MeanWestTexan]

He’s asian. He also look like a bum and crazy.

[MotorCityBuck]

The OG Klan was White Protestant Christians.
So ya got that going for ya.
Maybe it just slipped your mind.

[Vigilanteman]

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

[rlmorel]

Looks Hispanic or possibly even Asian to me.

Not Iily white.

[VanShuyten]

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

[sistergoldenhair]

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?

[CivilWarBrewing]

ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHINA, with their 'influence campaign' activities in the U.S.A.. Bank on it.
