Charleston Massacre

I cannot believe that this has happened. And I can't believe that so many media outlets refuse to portray it as it truly is. 

For those who haven't heard, there was a mass murder in a Baptist church in Charleston, South Carolina. Nine people were killed! One victim was the Church's pastor and a State Senator. The deaths happened a few days ago, but today the suspect was apprehended. The shooter was a 21-year-old white boy.

The fact that this atrocity has happened, especially in such a safe place like a church prayer meeting, is absolutely sickening and mind-boggling. What's even worse is the fact that the media has not recognized this massacre as a hate crime and an act of terrorism. The suspect had, for a long time, had the confederate flag painted on his car and has displayed several instances of racism in his behavior. He shot these people because they were black. There is no other reason.

However, as is typical whenever a white man commits mass murder, the media portrays him as some sort of lost puppy with "mental issues." Literally some of the headlines I've seen have been absolutely disgusting:


  • Dylann Storm Roof is described as "quiet and soft-spoken"
  • Many of Dylann Storm Roof's Facebook friends, including those from his high school, are Black
LIKE WHY MUST THE MEDIA TRY TO PAINT HIM LIKE SOME LOST LITTLE LAMB?! ALSO, HAVING "FRIENDS" (C'MON FACEBOOK FRIENDS ARE REALLY FUCKING MEANINGLESS) FROM OTHER RACES DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON LESS OF A RACIST JESUS I HAVE A HEADACHE!
