| Of course salon.com is using this tragedy to emphasize the evil of the white male. |

Well, I guess I was voraciously eating potato chips when I misspelled veracity... |

Um, is this surprising? The killer is pretty much the definition of an "evil white male." |

This is your first reaction to a terrorist attack on a black CHURCH?
Just don't read Salon. |

Its the basic human intolerance for difference that motivates these attacks.
Fortunately the female of the species is instinctively attracted to difference because it ensures a larger and healthier gene pool.
Ultimately the future is pinko-gray. Hopefully racial difference will have disappeared in future global populations, and everyone will be a mixture. |

Op-Ed - Start Burning Confederate Flags
| Quote: |
In an op-ed on Friday, Detroit Free Press contributor Joe Lapointe argued that the best solution for dealing with Confederate flags is to set them on fire.
Insisting that flying the flag is an affront “not only to African Americans but to humanity in general,” Lapointe told opponents of the Stars and Bars to fight the “figurative fire” of racism with “the real thing.”
...
The shooting has sparked a debate about whether the Confederate flag should still fly on the South Carolina capitol grounds.
On Friday, a White House spokesperson told reporters that President Obama thinks this loaded symbol of Civil War America “belongs in a museum.” Groups such as the NAACP have called for the flag to be taken down. But Lapointe’s suggestion is far more radical:
"There is no need to respect a symbol that is as evil and vicious to African Americans as the Nazi swastika flag is to Jews. In fact, it is important to actively disrespect the banner that represents a pure form of human evil.
The display of the Confederate flag — anywhere — is a nonverbal statement of race hate. Its burning would be a nonverbal response to its crude attitude. You're sure not going to change their attitudes with sweet reason. Fight their figurative fire with the real thing." |

The killer wrote a racist manifesto, wore racist Rhodesian and Apartheid-era South Africa patches on his jacket, and made explicitly racist statements the day of the murders. He drove a long way to go to a black church, specifically.
Here are some quotes from his website:
| Dylann Roof wrote: |
N*****s are stupid and violent [...]
I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country [...] We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me. |
If you'd like to read something, may I suggest this. |
