    No, whites and blacks suffer from anti-intellectualism. That is the core of the problem we have in this country. Wake up people, and discover the real enemy; https://www.psychologytoday.com/blo...01506/anti-intellectualism-is-killing-america

    And supposedly Roof had black friends....what's your point? Besides if you read Sheppard's manifesto he clearly says all white people should be killed.

    You are seeing something that isn't there. I do not think what Roof did was OK in anyway. The reason I believe he is insane is because his actions and statements seem that way to me. He and Sheppard are living in a reality that does not exist.

    I would define them as evil.

    That is a good article. Thanks for posting the link.

    You need to format that manifesto better. It's just one big wall of text.

    Valdosta police chief Brian Childress suggested that the manifesto is a "publicity stunt," and so far the FBI, the sheriff's office, and the U.S. attorney's office seem to be treating Sheppard's threats as less than credible.

    Evil...and racist though, right?

    What about the KKK? Aren't they racist as well?

    And this roof kid seems like racism as well. And slavery, that's not racism?

    I'm not sure how you've decided that racism is a myth?

    Yes it is. It is really long and I just copies and pasted. I included a link perhaps that form is better.

    It doesn't matter because generic leftists and the entirety of the left-aligned Mainstream Media are cool with White hating Black-racists just as long as their targets are confined to Whitey. So in leftist world there is no actual downside to hating Whites and attacking Whites. Thank God that I can pass for a Brown Hispanic.

    We you can read his manifesto. The guy needs professional help. Apparently no one thought Roof was a threat either.

    I do not get why your asking if the school should be investigated, was he saying he did it because of the schools teachings, whats the connection?

    I would say evil would suffice just as calling Roof insane would. This "racist" term seems to be a blanket term for things you do not like.

    What did slavery have to do with race?

    Yeah it seems that way. I am trying to understand where liberals are coming from with their "racism" concerns. They only seemed to be concerned when it goes one way.

    That is just it: where did this hatred of white people come from. It is quite possible from the college.

    There is no 'seem' about it; the generic leftist is concerned ONLY when the racism flows from White to Black and are effectively blind when it flows from Black to White. But then again where so very many of modern leftists are concerned, if not for double standards then they would have no standards at all. Sweet!

    I say "seem" because I am hoping some day to understand where they are coming from. I was hoping to get some insight from this thread but of looks like I am out of luck.

    lol, I've been saying that about conservatives for a LONG time. And you are correct, he clearly is a very disturbed individual. His actions I would also classify as clearly insane, his motivation was clearly racist.

    But the point of this thread is to show that because black people can be racists and plan mass murders that means that what Roof did was justified. It's a terrible premise for a thread, and clearly wrong.

    The problem is that you keep expecting the average leftist to use logic along the lines of the average Right of Center citizen. But the generic leftist is ruled by ideological indoctrination which precludes any requirement for genuine thought EVER and is ruled by feeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings. So logic does not enter into it, period.

    That is your interpretation of the premise but it is wrong. I am raising the question of investigating these insane people to see if there is a common thread or if there is anything that can be done to help prevent these things from happening.

    Some folks seem to think removing the confederate flag would help.....OK then. Perhaps we need to take a good look at college curriculum and see what possible things could set off one of these "race supremacists".

    It does look like most of these liberals can only repeat rhetoric and totally lack any ability to truly explain their position. I asked what slavery had to do with race and got no answer. Sad.

    It's interesting that the people who post in Dylan Roof threads - and say (paraphrasing) "I would be right there to denounce a black racist should he ever appear" - never seem to appear in these kinds of threads denouncing black racists.

    White people enslaved Black people in the US.

    More so, Roof was probably not insane, but he was obviously racist. It seems like you are going out of your way to argue racism doesn't exist.

    Or at least, his actions seem to indicate this. Racism, as an intention, is really hard to prove. Some could say he was a freedom fighter...

    It sounds like you would green light the SPLC, ADL et al. to provide law enforcement with everyone who goes on these types of angry rants for incarceration. Hmmmm................perhaps they should...

    Who is Eric Sheppard and what mass murder should we be outraged about?

    So Roof shouldn't have been stopped before he killed?
