To dovetail off an essay that Bill Ponton wrote for today, I want to expound on the contrivances of the left to deceive the public on the nature of race relations. While Bill addressed media myths, I’d like to focus on the social media space, particularly when it comes to the “anti-racist” movement and its “influencers.”

First of all, let’s recognize that “racist” is simply an anti-white slur, as “racism” can only be a white offense against non-whites. When a black man knifes a woman on a tram in North Carolina and reportedly says “I got that white bitch,” it’s simply mental illness. When blacks crowdfund money for a young black defendant accused of stabbing a white teen at a track meet, leaving comments praising the action and saying it’s always good when a “honkey” and “colonizer” gets murdered, it’s just a natural and justified response to the “white supremacy” of America. When a black man chants “the only good cracker is a dead cracker” outside a courthouse, he’s just exercising his rights, protected by the First Amendment, and don’t we all believe in the sanctity of the Constitution?
So, anti-racist should really just be translated as anti-white, and there’s a massive group of the population that identifies with the ideology. And, they’re rewriting history, spewing deceptive contrivances to sway public opinion. Here’s a perfect and recent example, from a loud anti-white “influencer” on X:

The context completely omitted from such a gruesome image is that these strung-up men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, had been arrested for the crime of murder and rape, and were sitting in a jail cell when the townspeople came for them, delivering quick justice. Sure, they hadn’t been found guilty in a court of law, but there wasn’t any debate over whether or not they’d committed the crimes. Furthermore, there was a third individual wrapped up into the debacle, a 16-year-old black boy named James Cameron. When the men went to hang him too, a woman in the crowd testified to his innocence, and out of character for instances of real “mob mentality,” the men let Cameron go. They weren’t blood-lusting, they were justice-lusting. (Cameron always held to the story that Shipp and Smith were the actual perpetrators of the crime.) But none of that stops this image from being virally spread, intimating mob violence against innocent black men.
This is the case with many lynching images peddled as racial
Or, consider “Whipped Peter.” Everyone has probably seen the image of Gordon, with his back to the camera, showing vicious scars, evidence of a brutal whipping. This image was widely used by Lincoln and the Union as propaganda against the South. What was left out of the story then, just as it is now, is who did the whipping, and why: Gordon’s abuser was most probably a black overseer, and it wasn’t a racial issue. The whipper, a man named Artayou, was reportedly experiencing a severe mental breakdown when he beat Gordon, and was fired by Gordon’s owner for such a gross abuse of power and position. (Consider that Jefferson Davis had a strict rule that slaves were not to be punished in any way without his presence and consent to make sure it was never unjust.) As the analogy goes, what kind of farmer takes a hammer to their own John Deere tractor? It doesn’t mean abuses never happened (as they did with Gordon), but this idea that slavery was largely defined by beatings for no reason is a complete farce.

What most people in 2026 are also seemingly incapable of understanding is how lax and actually just nonexistent “justice” is today—and it’s not a good thing. We’ve been conditioned to view justice as immoral, and propagandized into thinking serious consequences for serious offenses somehow equates to abuse or injustice. Consider this tweet:
It should be legal for any White man to execute that animal on the spot. https://t.co/G0NF8wuSLC

The tweet’s author is suggesting serious consequences, and I can’t say that I disagree. It’s the only way to restore any sense of what was the civility and decency that was the norm for so long in the West.
Adultery in biblical times meant you could be stoned, or even burned at the stake. Just a hundred years ago, rustling cattle (stealing a cow) was a death sentence. Now, affairs and infidelity wreak incalculable havoc, and you can rob with near impunity in blue states everywhere. In fact, criminality and wickedness are institutionalized and oftentimes even sanctioned by the system. Harsh consequences make for a healthier and happier society.
