The "Crimson Record" Report: A 2026 report documented over 70 suspected modern-day lynchings in states like Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama.

Summer 2020 Incidents: A string of at least five deaths of Black and Hispanic men found hanging in public spaces (particularly in California and New York) during mass protests sparked national outrage and demands for federal investigations.

The "Crimson Record" report is a groundbreaking civil rights study published by the Mississippi-based organization JULIAN.

It documents over 70 modern-day lynchings and more than 150 suspicious deaths and fatal hate crimes targeting Black, Brown, immigrant, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ communities between 2000 and 2025.

The report disputes the idea that lynching ended in 1981. Instead, it argues that lynchings have evolved to hide behind official negligence—often prematurely ruling racially or bias-motivated homicides as accidents or suicides.

Black violence against whites is revenge for slavery, racism and discrimination. 88-90% of the victims of black violence are black. According to fbi.gov only 8-10% of the victims of black violence are white.

While according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov), approximately 15 to 16% of violent crimes against Black victims are committed by white offenders. 

But the perception is reversed? Why? Because of the narrative.

I say the small percentage of violence against whites is justified by the history of violence and enslavement by whites against blacks in America.

Why not get revenge for how you are treated by a specific group? Because it's wrong? Well so is slavery, so is racism and discrimination. But whites did not care while committing these atrocities, so why should the blacks?

Self defense laws are only for white people.

Self defense laws don't just vary by state they vary by skin color as well.

There are significant disparities that exist in how the law is actually enforced and decided by courts and juries. Source

Studies like the Urban Institute reveals stark differences in how homicides are ruled "justifiable" based on the race of the individuals involved.

FBAs (Foundational Black Americans) have been a solid, reliable voting block for the democrats since the 1930s.

Black Americans have kept democrats in power for decades. Now it's time for our reward.

Slavery produced an immense, unquantifiable amount of wealth, functioning as the financial bedrock of the antebellum U.S. economy.

At least 8% of Democrats in the recent U.S. Congress are direct descendants of slaveholders. 

Historically, federal efforts stalled at the end of Reconstruction in 1876 and have faced intense political hurdles ever since. 

Most Asians in black communities are primarily from South Korea, the Philippines, Japan, and Vietnam. Many due to the effects of the U.S. military in these countries after World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

Asian Americans operate small businesses—such as corner stores or laundromats.

The invisible, visible merchant class. See: Why do other races own businesses in FBA neighborhoods today?

The more docile POC class. The class whites trust not to make a fuss.

You see one or two Asians in old photos during the Civil rights movement. Separate individuals marching, but not their community as a whole.

Felony disenfranchisement disproportionately strips the right to vote from Black Americans, directly diluting their political power and representation. Nationally, about 1 in 22 Black adults is disenfranchised due to a felony conviction.

This rate is more than three times higher than that of non-Black Americans, and in several states, upwards of 10% to 15% of the Black voting-age population is barred from the ballot box. source

Historical and Structural Context Felony disenfranchisement laws trace their roots back to the post-Civil War era.

Southern lawmakers specifically designed these laws alongside targeted criminal codes to circumvent the 15th Amendment and prevent newly enfranchised Black men from voting.

Today, this legacy persists because racial disparities in the criminal justice system mean Black individuals are arrested and incarcerated at vastly disproportionate rates. source

Impact on Black Communities the disenfranchisement of formerly and currently incarcerated Black people extends far beyond the individuals who lose their…

Jim Clark (Dallas County, Alabama)Serving as sheriff of Dallas County from 1955 to 1967, Clark became a primary symbol of segregationist brutality during the Civil Rights Movement.

He routinely deputized white citizens, who acted as an unchecked, violent mob against peaceful Black activists and voting rights demonstrators. His infamous use of state troopers, billy clubs, cattle prods, and tear gas against marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge during "Bloody Sunday" prompted national outcry and ultimately helped pass the Voting Rights Act.

Willis V. McCall (Lake County, Florida) Serving for nearly three decades (1944–1972), McCall presided over a well-documented regime of terror against Black Floridians. He weaponized his office to suppress political participation, regularly brutalized prisoners, and was notorious for the "Groveland Four" case, in which he coerced false confessions from young Black men through severe torture, resulting in wrongful convictions and the extrajudicial murder of one of the suspects by…

Countering the Supreme Court’s aggressive rulings on the Voting Rights Act (such as the landmark Louisiana v. Callais decision) requires aggressive legislative, structural, and localized action. With federal protections severely weakened, the most effective solutions rely on state-level legislation and structural reform. source

Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have weakened parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, especially protections used to challenge voting maps that reduce Black voting power. The rulings mainly affect redistricting and how courts review claims of racial discrimination in elections. source

The main counters to the ruling are political, legal, and organizational rather than immediate court-based fixes.

Even with those changes, African American voters still have many practical ways to protect and strengthen their voting access.

Media and societal norms often treat whiteness as the default, leading to empathetic framing for white perpetrators and underrepresentation of race in their coverage, whereas racial minorities are more frequently highlighted in discussions of crime.

Media Framing and Implicit Bias

Studies consistently show that news outlets portray white perpetrators more empathetically, often focusing on psychological, social, or personal factors behind their crimes, such as mental illness or stressful circumstances, rather than racial identity. source

In contrast, racial minorities are more likely to have their criminal acts presented as representative of broader social problems, reinforcing stereotypes and emphasizing racial identity. source

Cultural Norms and “Whiteness as the Norm”

In societal narratives, whiteness is often considered the default or normative category. As a result, white perpetrators are less likely to be labeled in racial terms; their actions are framed as individual anomalies rather than tied to racial group identity. source
