Editor’s Commentary: Which political ideology is REALLY racist? According to Democrats, legacy media, and college professors across the nation, it’s those dastardly conservatives who are spreading hate and fueling division by expressing their “bigoted” worldviews.
This is, of course, simply not true. We know it’s not true because race hoaxers are the only ones spreading racist messages. They just get impatient waiting for “hate crimes” on their college campuses to happen so they manufacture their own.
The latest example comes from Rhodes College where an “oppressed” student decided to take the racism into their own hands…
Latest Race Hoax: Slur Posted at College ‘Fabricated’ to Make Trump Backers Look Bad
(Zero Hedge)—In the latest manifestation of a persistent phenomenon, a race hoaxer at a college stepped in to fill the gap between demand for racism and the supply — by creating fictional racism in the form of a written slur posted on the campus, school officials say.
This phony incident took place over Thanksgiving break at Rhodes College, a small private school in Memphis with an enrollment of about 4,000. A dozen sheets of paper that paired a racist message with support for then-recently-elected presidential candidate Donald Trump were left at the school’s National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza, which is a tribute to the school’s historically black fraternities and sororities. Blacks represent 9.7% of the school’s enrollment.
According to reported accounts, the hand-written pages said “F*CK NI**ERS, TRUMP RULES.” The school immediately issued a campus security alert about a “reported hate crime of intimidation based on racial bias,” and included a list of “resources available for survivors,” which included personal counseling, along with guidance from the college’s Institutional Equity office.
Black students conducted a silent protest in the lobby of the school’s library, wearing black clothing and posting signs with messages that included “Hold Racists Accountable,” “Stop Racists,” and “Hate speech will not be tolerated.” The university’s Office of Inclusion and Diversity held a paradoxical “open meeting” for black people only. “This is a chance for Black students, faculty, staff, and alumni to unite and develop actionable steps toward institutional change,” an announcement said.
Here’s how the “incident” was initially reported:
In what will come as no surprise to regular ZeroHedge readers, the whole thing turned out to be phony, as the school confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital:
“Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated. This individual has admitted responsibility…This matter has caused enormous pain to our community, and we are taking the appropriate steps to hold this individual accountable, including all legal avenues that may be available to us.”
Rhodes College’s quest for accountability has its limits: the school is keeping the culprit’s name and relationship with the institution a secret. The college did say the hoaxer reported the incident with hopes of blaming someone else for doing it.
Between the posting of the racist, Trump-supporting language and the announcement that it was a fraud, black student and Pan-Hellenic Council member Lauren Roberts complained that authorities weren’t working hard enough to find the (non-existent) bigot, telling WREG, “They are saying they are investigating and doing this and that and the third but it’s been two weeks and you still haven’t found anybody that’s kind of like a bummer to the black community, in my opinion.”
The Rhodes College episode is the latest of many campus racism hoaxes. A very small sampling of other such frauds includes:
- A black male student who wrote racist graffiti on a dorm at Albion College
- A black female student who reportedly vandalized her own own dorm door at Wayne State
- A black female student who posted a note reading “Black people don’t belong” to her dorm door at Southern Illinois
- Three black female students who falsely claimed to have been victimized by a white mob on a bus at UAlbany
Kentucky State University criminal justice and political science professor Wilfred Reilly wrote a book on race hoaxes and maintains a database which suggests less than a third of reported hate crimes are real. Reilly wrote that, with “absolute confidence,” it can be said that “the actual number of hate crime hoaxes is indisputably large…We are not speaking here of just a few bad apples.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
