The killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis five years ago sparked a resurgence of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. That summer, millions took to the streets in the name of racial justice as BLM protests spread from the US to Western Europe.
The reaction of the American left and its adjacent black political class to the arrival of 59 white refugees fleeing de facto genocide in South Africa, combined with ever-accelerating racist rhetoric and demands from America’s black population has further exposed the depth of anti-white racism in the United States and accelerated race fatigue among the vast majority of the American population.
Move over Karmelo Anthony, there’s a new accused killer darling on the scene.
Rodney Hinton, Jr., a black man from Ohio, reportedly ran down a retired white police officer who was directing traffic for a college graduation—and Hinton has garnered generous support, both from the black community and the left. The officer allegedly murdered by Hinton was a man named Larry Henderson, a public servant who dedicated more than three decades of his life to his community, serving across a number of different law enforcement agencies.
Social media users are praising Cincinnati father Rodney Hinton for m*rdering a random police officer after his son was shot by police in a carjacking incident.
People have lost their d*mn minds.

Friends and relatives of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, the Texas high school student accused of fatally stabbing another teen, are promoting t-shirts with his face on them with slogans like “FreeMelo” and “#Justice4KarmeloAnthony.” When he was taken into custody after the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco High School track meet, Anthony admitted that he was the killer.

The spokesperson for a Texas teen who fatally stabbed another boy at a track meet has suggested the accused killer is the victim in the situation.
‘Karmelo Anthony is SAFE at home. This moment is a reminder that a community united can never be divided,’ said Minister Dominique Alexander, who works with Next Generation Action Network (NGAN).
‘The journey ahead is long, but today—we celebrate a victory for justice, for family, and for the power of people coming together to protect our youth. Thank you to everyone who stood with us. The fight continues, but tonight, Karmelo is home.’
So, rest in power, Black Lives Matter Plaza. Mayor Muriel Bowser has at last caved to Republican pressure and is overseeing the renovation of the stretch of Washington’s 16th Street NW leading up to the White House ahead of the US’s 250th anniversary next year.
Demolition of the plaza began Monday near Lafayette Square, where BLM protesters were cleared using tear gas in June 2020, and in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, where an arsonist started a fire in the basement during the protest. These events sparked Bowser’s decision to create a permanent plaza there in solidarity with their cause — protesting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis a week earlier — and in resistance to then-President Donald Trump.
Black Lives Matter Plaza, a two-block stretch at Washington that features the phrase painted in 48-foot-high letters across the asphalt, is set to get a new look— and not purely by choice.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed the mural will be painted over and the area renamed, with students and local artists stepping in to create new murals as part of the city’s America250 initiative.
The heroes of Black History Month are the familiar leaders of the civil-rights movement: Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Ella Baker, and, of course, Martin Luther King Jr. Every February, we celebrate these men and women for championing the self-evident: racial segregation was immoral, integration a moral imperative. Law finally caught up with morality when the “separate but equal” doctrine was overturned in Brown v. Board of Education, forcing school integration.
Yet something seems off about these pieties in 2025. Against a backdrop of broad discontent with liberalism, including among black Americans increasingly drawn to Trumpism, it’s worth returning to a provocative set of questions posed by the black writer Harold Cruse in the wake of civil rights: what if separate but equal contained a good idea, a better idea than advocating for racial integration above all else? Shouldn’t black activism focus on building the capacity of black communities, rather than looking to open up opportunities for the black elite?
The McMichaels, accused of murdering Arbery, were unlucky enough to have entered the portal of woke justice when BLM was in its ascendancy.
“Ahmaud Arbery was murdered,” said Judge Timothy Walmsley with the solemnity befitting the Chatham County Superior Court in Brunswick, Georgia.
“A resident of Glynn County, a graduate of Brunswick High, a son, a brother, a young man with dreams was gunned down in this community,” Walmsley continued. “As we understand it, he left his home apparently to go for a run and he ended up running for his life.”
So saying, Walmsley summed up what the jury was allowed to know about Arbery, 25, at the time of his February 2020 death in the coastal community of Satilla Shores, Georgia. Either out of fear or ambition or some combination of the two, Walmsley had grossly misrepresented the reality of Arbery’s troubled life and death to justify the draconian sentences he was about to hand down to the men who “murdered” him — Greg McMichael, then 64, his son Travis, 34, and their neighbor Roddie Bryan, 50 .
Unknown to the jurors, America was entering its 10th year in the era of woke justice, an all but unremarked break from the leftist past. Historically, to highlight racial injustice, real or imagined, leftists had made a practice of romanticizing the guilty — Sacco and Vanzetti, Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal etc. — and proclaiming their innocence.
Every era has its grifters, gurus, quacks and frauds.
This is an American tradition, from the snake oil salesmen to the pyramid schemers to the New Age prophets of the 20th century.
One might be tempted to dismiss them as ethically compromised, duping the gullible for personal benefit, but they’re something more than that: symbols of each generation’s hopes and anxieties.
A Georgia mayor who claims to be “America’s first Black Lives Matter organizer elected to public office” is accused of spending $26,000 of public funds for unauthorized expenses, primarily for international travel.
I, along with millions of other people, do not doubt that Minneapolis Policeman Derek Chauvin was railroaded during his trial over the death of George Floyd.
‘I ain’t no regular singer’, declares Beyoncé on Cowboy Carter, her critically acclaimed country-and-western album, released earlier this year. ‘Now come get everythin’ you came for.’
On Christmas Day, she will perform tracks from the album during halftime of the National Football League game between her hometown team, Houston Texans, and the Baltimore Ravens. It will be broadcast live on Netflix and available to the streaming service’s 280million subscribers.
Her alleged cultural import is vastly overblown media hype.
A Black Lives Matter leader who has been in the courtroom daily during the Daniel Penny subway trial called on ‘black vigilantes’ to step up after the Marine veteran was found not guilty on Monday.
Walter ‘Hawk’ Newsome, who says he is Jordan Neely’s uncle, threatened Penny inside the courtroom during the chaos which immediately followed the verdict.
He shouted ‘it’s a small f**king world, buddy.’

The District of Columbia’s attorney general on Monday sued an activist known for his calls to abolish the police, saying that he diverted $75,000 from a charity to pay for mansion rentals, a trip to Cancún and designer clothes.
Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb, an elected Democrat who oversees nonprofits in the city, said Brandon Anderson had turned an anti-police-brutality charity called Raheem AI into a piggy bank for himself.
Mr. Schwalb also sued Raheem AI. He asked a judge to shutter the organization, bar Mr. Anderson from leading any other Washington nonprofit and order Mr. Anderson or Raheem AI to repay the $75,000. The money would then be given to a charity chosen by the judge.
