The way some people see it, Dylann Roof’s attack on the Emmanuel A.M.E. church Wednesday night that left nine people dead was an attack on “religious liberty.” The people who are saying that are, to be charitable, out of their fucking minds. Mr. Roof has a long history of racism and so when he opened fire, he wasn’t doing it because he objected to bible study.
Of course the chatterers at Fox News would do anything to avoid the racism charge because as we all know, America is no longer a racist country because hey, didn’t we twice elect that guy from Kenya with the sketchy birth certificate and the secret Muslim leanings? Besides, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act so that means we’re all getting along just fine.
But to acknowledge it was about racism would be playing the race card!
