[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone point out any media outlets ... or even DCUM posters for that matter ... that are denying this was racially motivated?  I see that being thrown around like a straw man - to imply that whites don't acknowledge racism, I guess - but I don't actually see anyone denying this was a hate crime.

Forgive me for not reading 30 pages of this thread ... just the last 5 or 6 pages include numerous assertions that people are somehow denying the racial element here ... though those assertions are usually in posts related to genetic deficiencies and 'crazy ass white boys' so I suppose I should take them with a grain of salt.[/quote]

The most outrageous attempt to shift blame I have seen was a post on page 6 of this thread that said this:

[quote=Anonymous]Survivor reports: He said "I have to do it. You're taking over everything. Raping our women. You have to go."[/quote]

Sigh. Activism breeds hate.

The only way I can interpret that is that it suggests that black activists provoked Roof.

Outside of DCUM, Lindsey Graham has been particularly bad on the topic. See this article:

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/lindsey-graham-downplays-race-after-black-church-shooting-people-looking-for-christians-to-kill-them/

Graham downplays race and says, "This guy is just whacked out.” Graham's niece went to school with Roof and Graham says:

"Strange, disturbed young man," the senator noted. "Emily said in school he was just a quiet strange kid. Seems like one of these Newtown-type guys."

So, he is just another Adam Lanza, not someone who is motivated by racism.
