Wednesday night, a 21 year old white MAN walked inside Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church- a historic black church in Charleston, SC- and sat among the congregation as they had Bible study. At some point, he opened fire, killing the nine people in the photo above. He left one victim alive- to tell the world what he had done- and a poor 5 year old child played dead- no doubt terrified about what was happening. This shocking mass murder was immediately deemed a hate crime, and when the MAN was apprehended the next day, he not only admitted to the killings, but he also stated his reason for doing so: to ignite a race war, because he felt "Black people are taking over" and in the words of the Racist/Conservative/Republican party: "It was time to take their country back."
Almost immediately, the social media bigots, a*k*a* conservatives, came out in droves, claiming that Dylann Roof- the MAN they'd trained and taught to hate all black people before they sent to kill these people- suffers from mental illness (the same lame excuse they always use) and shouldn't be held accountable for the nine innocent lives he took. They referred to him as a child, who lost his way, while just last year, 18 year old Michael Brown- who was shot several times by a white police officer as he ran from him- was called a grown man, who deserved to die because he "allegedly" stole cigars from a store.
It's sickening, but not surprising, that these bigots find every excuse they can to justify the genocide of the black race- from claiming that Dylann is not even the skinny, scrawny, cowardly racist that he is shown to be in the photo below, to a volunteer fireman saying Dylann should be praised for murdering nine people as they had Bible study.
Again, it's not surprising to me at all that people like the ignorant heifer who claims that Dylann must be black or mixed with black, because no white guy could ever commit such a violent crime, or the commenter named Gary stating: "he even sat in a black church for a whole hour...something white people would NEVER do," would make statements like these. Unfortunately, we're used to it. But, what does surprise me, are the many black people who feel the need to jump down from their high horses for a second, to get on social media, and tell other black folks that we shouldn't be angry about this, since there is black on black crime happening daily, and we don't get mad about that. To those making this statement, I have one thing to say- FUCK YOU and these racist ass white folks who have brainwashed you into thinking that you're better than the rest of us.
I'm sure everyone,-white, black, yellow, or whatever- is well aware of the fact that there is crime and hateful things happening in ALL races. Yes, I'm sick of senseless black on black killings and I am just as outraged whenever any innocent person's life is taken, regardless of what race they are; but now is definitely NOT the time to look down your nose, telling people what to say or how to feel about this particular incident. I watch the I.D. Channel daily, and there is just as much (if not more) white on white killing as there is black on black, so please shut the hell up with that crap. That's not the issue at hand, right now. We want to know why this white boy was given a gun by his father, who had to be aware that his son wasn't playing with a full deck. We want answers as to why he's already being made to be the victim of his own mental illness, and why the media is more focused on him, than these nine innocent, now deceased, people; we want to know why some white folks blame these victims for their own murders, by saying, "they shouldn't have attended an all black church in the first place"; we want to know why judges, firemen, police officers, and the general public, are supporting him, raising money to help with his defense, and whatever else he'll need, until he somehow walks free after this senseless crime...or he'll sit in jail forever.
It never fails, that when things like this happen- and it's happening too damn often- black folks are supposed to pray, cry, and call on God to deliver us from this evil, while Dylann's friends and family are planning their next attack. When we bring up valid points about the difference between how black criminals and white criminals are treated, we're accused of race baiting...and some of our own people are the accusers. Wake the hell up! It doesn't matter how cool you are with racist bigots, whether you're married to a white man or woman, or sit and have dinner at their house every night- at the end of the day, they still view you as a Ni**er...the same as the rest of us. Yes, I'm very friendly with a lot of people of different races, too; but I will never look down my nose at my own race of people- especially when we are faced with more and more acts of violence, simply because we are black- ever. And if you fail to understand where our anger and outrage is coming from, you are part of the damn problem.
In the days following this vicious attack, I have read post after post, with BLACK people trying to censor the words of other black people regarding this issue- warning us to take a look at the violence and crimes happening in our own communities- so as not to upset the white people whose asses they bend over backwards to kiss. To that I say again, FUCK THAT AND YOU TOO! They definitely don't and won't censor themselves. I will NEVER apologize for being angry that my people are being hunted and killed, while the rest of the worlds sits and watches, making excuses for it each and every time. There are no damn excuses! We are tired of being killed simply because of the color of our skin. And if you- as a black man or woman- can't understand this, maybe you have that same so-called mental illness that Dylann and the rest of the Klan have...
