[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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.

I think we both agree that Pam Geller provoked Radical Muslims with her Draw Mohammed contest, right? I do remember you being quite clear about that, though you supported her right to speak.

I support black activists right to speak. Don't be surprised though, if it provokes racists.

As I've said over and over again, the only one responsible for the deaths, is the one who pulled the trigger.

It's not 'blame shifting', it's reality. When you speak out, when you are provocative in any way, you attract evil as well as good. Geller understood this and was ready. I wish that the pastor had done the same.[/quote]oh my god - you think the pastor should have been ready in case some white guy got bent out of shape over the Freddy Gray incident???!! If you have a daughter and she gets sexually assaulted, I hope you chastise her that she wasn't ready to defend herself against a guy who was mad at some woman who rejected him in the past.

Really??!! Do you actually reread what you write before you post it on DCUM?[/quote

I think the pastor should have been ready because he is speaking out and unfortunately, that provokes crazies. If you are in the public eye, like he was, campaigning next to HRC, etc., it's probably best to be sure you have either bodyguards or are prepared to defend yourself. that is, unfortunately, reality.

My daughter will be packing heat - unless she is unfortunate enough to be in a gun-free zone. In which case, I hope that liberals apologize to her for leaving her essentially defenseless [/quote]
