Ben Carson slams GOP 2016 rivals who dare not call this tragedy an act of racism - The Washington Post
Ben Carson: Not everything is about race in this country. But when it is about race, then it just is. So when a guy who has been depicted wearing a jacket featuring an apartheid-era Rhodesian flag walks into a historic black church and guns down nine African-American worshipers at a Bible study meeting, common sense leads one to believe his motivations are based in racism. When the sole adult survivor of the ordeal reports that the killer shouted before opening fire, "You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go" — well, that sounds to me a lot like racial hatred.
A recent Washington Post analysis of polling by the Pew Research Centershowed that half of white people — and 6 in 10 white Republicans, who Carson needs to win over during the presidential primary season — see no racial discrimination around them. By contrast, only 13 percent of African Americans don't see racism.

Never tell white wingers they are wasist. Ever.
