Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | "Burning Cross" Reminiscent of the Days of Jim Crow and the KKK Turns Out to Have Been a Hoax Perpetrated by a Left-Wing Gay Asian Man Who Now Claims He Had No Idea It Was a Symbol Intended to Intimidate and TerrifyHe's saying this because he can be charged for making a terroristic threat, if Chicago wanted to prosecute an antifa leftist, which it doesn't. But the possibility is there. So he's saying he had no idea the cross was used as a symbol of intimidation. See, he may have done the act, but, like Hillary Clinton, he didn't have intent. Owen Gregorian:He says it wasn't a racist act because he just wanted to terrify the black population into voting against Trump, not just terrify them generally. It's that ever-present "Because Trump" excuse. The stunt took place in the same park where former President Barack Obama delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation's first black president in 2008. It sparked a furious backlash and prompted the Chicago Police Department to release photos of a suspect, which Lu has now claimed is him. Police have confirmed a person is in custody for arson, but have not confirmed if it is Lu. University of Illinois Chicago senior Lu told NBC Chicago he concocted the stunt as a way to protest President Donald Trump and the MAGA Christian nationalists that support him. 'He's just scamming people,' Lu told the outlet. 'And I think that's a great reflection of how this country works right now, where money controls everything. Money has power over health care. Money has power over transportation.' The cross was set ablaze with a red MAGA hat on top of it.So if you ever commit a hate-crime and need a defense, just say you were doing the hate-crime ironically to Raise Awareness of Trump's perfidity. Works every time. See, he just saw the burning cross on a Wikipedia page and read no further. Pressed by NBC 5 on how he made it through four years in college without realizing how hateful burning crosses were, Lu admitted the extent of his research was reading a Wikipedia page. "I just saw the Wikipedia page with the movie with the, like, I think it's called like 'Under One Nation' or something like that," he said, misidentifying the infamous 1915 movie "Birth of a Nation," which popularized much of the modern KKK's imagery.
"It's a painful reminder of how hatred towards black Americans still permeates in our society."
Note that the "reporter" repeats his claim that he just didn't know what a burning cross meant as fact, while also claiming he's only "alleged" to have set the cross on fire (which she also says he "admitted"). It's very strange which admissions in this story are "alleged" and which legal-defense claims are "facts." Happy Wednesday. The crows hung out just outside my window while I drank coffee. They'd finished eating and seemed to just want to be my friends. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

It is a sign of their desperation, and realization that the midterms are probably not going to go the way they hoped and that they will be royally fucked in 2028.

The US uses asian to refer to the yellow race, because calling them yellow is somehow racist.
So in US, we generally mean yellow - china, japan, VN... In Europe, "asian" replaced oriental. Oriental made sense but it referred to anyone who had to sail west to get there and includes everyone - it is not a race or a useful term and is now mostly used to hide the fact that they are the same damn muslim invaders that have harassed Europe for centuries. So if anyone is wrong, it is the Europeans. A solid first order conclusion in any situation. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at June 17, 2026 12:55 PM (6ZnSC) 179

They won't want to look like they're being lead by Lowe but there could be a price if they don't accept any policy recommendations Yeah no way Labour is accepting reccomendations from a private inquiry rather than waiting for the statutory one. I imagine reform will do the same So this afternoon is going to be a bad afternoon on Reddit with people arguing at cross purposes about understanding statistics and failing to acknowledge their own biases when interpreting data. Cool cool cool it'll be hot takes built from AI. someone will throw it into Claude and prompt, "tell me why brown people are bad" and spout that. No one will read it. Be good to know why this enquiry was so important it delayed the implementation of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. I've asked several times but no one ever has an answer. Hasnt there already been like 3 inquiries over this? What could this report possibly contain that the 7 year IICSA/Jay inquiry didn't? It was absolutely damning towards institutions from the bottom to the top and contained extensive evidence.

👉Chicago Booth Alumni Generously Support Fight against COVID-19
Warehouse holding donated supplies Despite the upheaval of a global pandemic, many Chicago Booth alumni have thought beyond themselves and given back to their communities. The following are examples of four alumni who have demonstrated tremendous generosity to the causes that most touch their hearts. July 16, 2020 In part, >Merlin Lu, ’16, Supports his Hometown of Wuhan For entrepreneur Merlin Lu, ’16 (AXP-15), the site of the coronavirus outbreak had a special significance. Born, raised, and educated in Wuhan, China, Lu still has relatives in the city and deep feelings about his hometown. "Lu donated more than $700,000 in cash and antibacterial products to the hospitals in Wuhan. Dettol, the brand Lu distributes, has a factory in Jingzhou Hubei, about 60 miles from Wuhan. Dettol also made a donation of $7 million in cash and antibacterial products to healthcare institutions and medical workers across the country." Cross burner a legacy student? 😲 IDK.

Pressed by NBC 5 on how he made it through four years in college without realizing how hateful burning crosses were, Lu admitted the extent of his research was reading a Wikipedia page.
Since NBC 5 (and, apparently, everyone else in Chicago) has never heard the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, I think we have to accept this excuse. Both are equally plausible. Posted by: Oddbob at June 17, 2026 01:07 PM (vTZFs) 208
