Liberal Professor Makes HORRIBLE Claim About SC Church Massacre

With nine innocent and by all accounts decent, honorable, law-abiding South Carolina citizens murdered but not even yet buried, University of Pennsylvania professor, Anthea Butler, writing for the Washington Post has jumped on the “white privilege” band wagon because the murderer hasn’t been called a “terrorist.”

“…listen to major media outlets and you won’t hear the word “terrorism” used in coverage of Tuesday’s shooting. You won’t hear the white male shooter, identified as 21-year-old Dylann Roof, described as “a possible terrorist.” And if coverage of recent shootings by white suspects is any indication, he never will be. Instead, the go-to explanation for his actions will be mental illness. He will be humanized and called sick, a victim of mistreatment or inadequate mental health resources. Activist Deray McKesson noted this morning that, while discussing Roof’s motivations, an MSNBC anchor said “we don’t know his mental condition.” That is the power of whiteness in America.”

OK, dingleberry. explain why its worse if someone kills you because of your race than if he kills you to steal your money.

The target, in the case of a race motivated crime, a whole class or category of US citizens...therefore although there is an individual personal victim there is a also a tort or damage to the safety of all members of that class from such criminal motivation...therefore there are additional sanctions that apply...

 

[ScienceRocks]

wow, but yet in your mind all blacks are victims and you make threads like this believing that. hypocrite.

I consider you a narcissistic fools who claims victim hood for yourself and say Blacks are not victim in spite of plenty of documentation
The Dark History of Race and Terror
to support the suffering and indignities visited on them then and now ...screw your piteous claims to victim hood...I pass gas in your general direction

So blacks can't do no wrong and all these murdered whites deserved it. People like you are the true evil ones and will probably lead to some very dark times in this country...No logic, just hatred of whites.

But somehow you leftist fucks and blacks honestly believe you're NOT racist. You people are the sick ones!

Poor Matthew, the privilege is so ingrained that he believes a black person commiting a crime against a white person is the same as a white person committing a crime against a black person for being black.

Not realizing that one is personal and the other is based on race alone. In poor Matty's mind they are the same thing as long as you don't think about too much. Fortunately, Matty has that part down.

OK, dingleberry. explain why its worse if someone kills you because of your race than if he kills you to steal your money.

One is racist and the other isnt. Are we clear?

Either way you are dead and he is a murderer. Why does it matter what he was thinking at the time?

Answer: because leftists want the government to engage in thought control and punish those who do not think as dictated by the govt.

Hate crime legislation is bullshit. Crime is crime. Punish the crime, the motivation does not matter.

Crime is crime but all crimes arent racist. Get it now? Or do you want me to draw a picture?

A barbaric act like Wednesday's massacre of nine strangers by a white gunman at the historic black Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, shocks the conscience and makes it uncomfortable to face the painful truth about what happened.

This may help explain why some Republicans steered clear of the issue of race on Thursday in remarks about the killings. The politicians, including some 2016 presidential candidates, offered condolences to the victims, but resisted ascribing racial motivations to the gunman, even as information about suspected killer Dylann Roof mounts.

A Facebook photo surfaced on Thursday showing Roof wearing a jacket adorned with two patches that have long been linked to white supremacy. Another photo showed him in front of a car with a "Confederate States of America" license plate. Former friends, acquaintancesand a roommate have described Roof's racist sentiments and desires tocommit racial violence. Most damningly, a survivor of the church massacre said Roof told his victims he had come "to shoot black people."

More about Roof's beliefs and motives is likely to emerge later. But that's no reason to dance around what's already obvious, especially if you're doing so because reality doesn't fit your political agenda.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a GOP presidential candidate, tied the shooting to a lack of faith among Americans during a speech Thursday at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington.

"What kind of person goes into church and shoots nine people? There’s a sickness in our country, there’s something terribly wrong, but it isn’t going to be fixed by your government. It’s people straying away, it’s people not understanding where salvation comes from."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), another 2016 presidential candidate, told CNNthat he saw the killings as an isolated act by a deranged individual.

"I just think he was one of these whacked out kids. I don't think it's anything broader than that. It's about a young man who is obviously twisted."

Jeb Bush, who recently threw his hat in the 2016 ring, fielded a question from The Huffington Post's Laura Bassett at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference and wasn't willing to state with certainty what has now already been confirmed about the shooter's motive.

"It was a horrific act and I don't know what the background of it is, but it was an act of hatred. ... Looks like to me it was [racially motivated], but we'll find out all the information. It's clear it was an act of raw hatred, for sure. Nine people lost their lives, and they were African-American. You can judge what it is."

Rick Santorum, also running for the White House, said hatred spurred the killings, and went on to suggest the motive may have been hatred of religion.

“You just can’t think that things like this can happen in America. It’s obviously a crime of hate. Again, we don’t know the rationale, but what other rationale could there be? ... This is one of those situations where you just have to take a step back and say we -- you know, you talk about the importance of prayer in this time and we’re now seeing assaults on our religious liberty we’ve never seen before. It’s a time for deeper reflection beyond this horrible situation.”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), who is expected to announce plans for the 2016 presidential race soon, seemed uninterested in commenting on the shooter's possible motive during an interview with Fox News.

"Let's be honest, there's evil in the world. What you're seeing today, what we saw last night, that was evil. ... Law enforcement will figure out what his so-called motivations were. We shouldn't try to pretend we're going to understand his mind."

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who is expected to run for president in 2016,addressed the situation in Charleston Thursday following a public event. He also chose not to speak about a motive for the crime.

"It's an awful tragedy anytime that somebody would walk in and participate in a prayer service for an hour and then get up and shoot the people you have been praying with? That's obviously a pretty depraved person. ... I understand that they believe they have the guy in custody and so let's let the criminal justice system work."

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) told CNN that he didn't "have a clue" about Roof's potential connections to white supremacists or racist groups. Instead, he pointed to the supernatural.

"I don't know what was going through the kid's mind, but [it's] certainly the act of a deranged human being, and this level of malice I think is unfathomable in this community, in this nation. It is ... clearly the work of the devil."

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) released a statement late Wednesday, saying, "we'll never understand what motivates" people to commit such crimes. It was early, so perhaps she can be forgiven for not being willing to state the obvious. At a prayer vigil on Thursday, Haley focused on the community's efforts to heal, avoiding all mention of the shooter's motive.

These Republicans Aren t Sure What Motivated A White Guy To Kill 9 Black Churchgoers But It Wasn t Racism

Racism isn't a mental illness - it's an ignorant mindset. If the Charleston church massacre wasn't a racist hate crime - I don't know what is.

Ok, lets explore your last sentence. Lets say this same guy went into a bank to rob it and in the process killed 9 innocent people. Is that a lesser crime in your small mind than what the asshole did in the SC church?

What was in the killer's mind does not matter. The crime is murdering 9 people.

 

[deltex1]

What and who enabled him before he stumbled across the idea that he hated black folk?

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

So blacks can't do no wrong and all these murdered whites deserved it. ..No logic, just hatred of whites.

cite with quotation marks any instance in which I am supposedly making such declarations ....since I am white it would be illogical for me to harbor hatred of whites ...all my nuclear family relatives are white.....and as far as I am aware the extended family too...

 

[Nosmo King]

Is it caution that prevents these Republicans from stating the obvious? Is it legal and political cover?

Or is it an ostrich defense? Stick your head in the sand and maybe, just maybe by shear avoidance, Republicans just won't have to recognize and own the problem of racism in America.

The answer is out there in the open for anyone to see: knowing that a hefty portion of their ultra-conservative base is as racist as the day is long, no GOP candidate is going to want to say anything that will turn off the base.

God forbid any of them consider Black Lives Matter.

All lives matter. Whats really sad is that if the shooter in SC had been black this would not have made the evening news except in Charleston, and it would be over as a national story.

the media and the administration are doing exactly what the asshole shooter wanted, starting a race war.

Are you people that fucking stupid?

So you think that race had nothing at all to do with this tragedy regardless of the information we have about the shooter? Do you really believe that your outlook is correct and should be accepted in spite of Mr. Roof's background and personal attitudes about race? Can you be proud of that assumption? Do you think that there is a general attitude among your fellow Conservatives that race, as an issue, can be largely ignored and other rationales can be used to bolster that position?
Do you find blaming the media is convenient, or legitimate? The media often plays the role of boogeyman to cover the troubles of your political ideology. Do you expect us to believe that too?

Wow that is horrible. That professor described what is happening and you are mad at the person who sees it and not the people who are doing it. Good job!

 

[ScienceRocks]

All this outrage from the left over 9 innocent people being killed BY A THUG, but they think nothing of 200+(400-440 in total) more whites being killed by black thugs every year. It is all our fault that a white guy goes off when he see's injustice against his own people. SOme people are crazy and are going to react in such ways. It is wrong but blacks are also wrong for killing whites.

You leftist are a bunch of frauds and liars. You're for making things worse.

Of course race had something to do with it. But the crime is murder. Is having racist thoughts a crime?

We all are against racism in all cases and by all races. Sharpton is an avowed racist. He also owes over 4 million in back taxes. Why no outcry about his racism?
