[quote=Anonymous][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]

Here is another clueless Republican presidential candidate. This time, Jeb Bush. Roof tells the victims he is going to kill them because they are black and confesses to police that he hoped to start a race war. Here is what Bush says:

"I don't know what was on the mind or the heart of the man who committed these atrocious crimes," the former Florida governor said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference.[/quote]

And here is the update to the article - on the link provided....

[quote]The Huffington Post asked Jeb Bush on Friday whether the shooting was racially motivated. "It was a horrific act and I don't know what the background of it is, but it was an act of hatred," Bush said.

Asked again whether the shooting was because of race, Bush added, "I don't know. Looks like to me it was, 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."[/quote][/quote]
