Shooting reported at church in Charleston, South Carolina

[carpro]

Prayers for the church and all involved.

Unfortunately after what's gone on in North Charleston, I told folks to expect something like this before the year was over because it would be consistent with what happened during slavery and Jim Crow.

Sad. History does repeat.

raying:

Self agrandizing idiot is what you are.

Police are investigating the massacre as a hate crime.

Whatever gave them that idea?

Now what, execute him twice?

Give him 2 life sentences without parole instead of one?

Likely as not , he'll never stand trial.

Now here it comes....drum roll...your turn Zaac....let's hear it...

Mercy Who?

Mercy said no!!

In addition to praying for the families, and that city, I will pray for this baby too because he didn't get to this line of thinking by himself.

Written all over his words is the conservative talk propaganda of those on the racist and racially prejudiced right.

This is what happens when the majority demonize and marginalize the lives of anyone who doesn't look and think like them.

As I said before, this harkens to the Birmingham, Alabama church. History repeats itself because God's people are letting wickedness go unchecked just as they did with slavery and Jim Crow.

These are the radicals who see one race as superior to others. Not the right conservative talk show host, they condemn this just as all others. But you you label with these Christians who have no prejudicial feelings like this young man did. Conservatives who believe that the constitution guarantees the rights of every American born in this nation to worship freely to bare arms legally to work and earn a living for their family without be forced to spend it on unnecessary and unneeded items. Not just the elite political's who stir up hate and racism as a Democrat or Republican to further their cause. There are young African Americans who are doing the same things to other Americans as this young man did. Looting and rioting killing why, because the Black Political caucuses, the Black panthers and other racist groups stir them up with their liberal left leaders propaganda.

Every person on the religious Conservative right will stand against this type of violence against any person. There are radicals on both sides of the fence but you want to blame ALL conservatives for what you view as a right wing teaching that is far from the truth.

Zaac is like the Devil to post a story........act sympathetic.....then start his hate speech. Jesus said, "that which is born of flesh is flesh"......Zaac is stuck there.

 

[righteousdude2]

LIke Obama, he uses this to promote SELF!

Self agrandizing idiot is what you are.

JUst like his buddy in DC, he will use this tragedy to promote his own anger, hate for whites, and disdain for America. How sad is that? :tear::tear::tear:

Here is a quick take from an friend who lives in England.

This is becoming reminiscent of the race attacks in the 1960s in the USA. Martin Luther King's 'dream' has yet to be realised. And when will this nation find the will to address the causes of of gun crimes and the easy availability of firearms? Our thoughts and prayers are with our grieving black brothers and sisters in Charleston.

So the media is focusing on the one individual who did this but completely ignores the many who showed up to support this church including the many whites.

That is the far left narrative they want to push to create a false perception of what is going on. To do so they intentionally ignore other facts. Talk about yellow journalism.

 

[Use of Time]

When in the history of journalism has the media not focused on the killer when mass shootings happen? It's kind of newsworthy isn't it? What are they supposed to ignore it? Are you kidding me right now?

So I go to the front page of MSNBC out of curiosity and what do I see.

A piece on remembering the pastor. http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/the-life-and-legacy-of-clementa-pinckney-468064323588

A piece from noted Conservative Rachel Maddow on how a good citizen helped capture the fugitive. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/capture-of-suspect-aided-by-good-citizen-467877443862

There are various others that show the history of the church, testimony and statements from survivors. You just have to not be lazy to find it. Or, try not to actively avoid it lest your statement be a blatant lie.

It's ridiculous that your instinct in this tragedy is to lament the lack of focus of white supporters. Goodness gracious man get some perspective for crying out loud.

You gotta remember some people do not like other races and can find no sympathy in their hearts for misfortunes that occur to them. They want only praise for their own race regardless of the circumstances.

This whole thing is so sad...a real tragedy. But these folks in that church & that community & that governor---how beautiful!

Amen!!!!!!!

Here is a quick take from an friend who lives in England.

It's not the handguns. It's the social conditioning coming from FOX News and conservative talk heads like O'Reilly and Rush and Hannity and Levin.

It's that social conditioning's talking points that is repeated by folks on this board and by many in the church and on the political right that has a generation demonizing and marginalizing the lives of Black people.

This whole notion of "OUR COUNTRY" and taking it back didn't just pop into his head.

It was born and cultivated by the wickedness of a right winged brand of politics that has confused itself into thinking it is the viewpoint of God when it is mostly the antithesis of everything for which Jesus stands.

Yes, the local people seem to be handling it well...but the race pimps are on the way.

The real race pimps

are busy trying to convince the conservative talk myrmidonic listeners that this is really about mental illness and drugs and an attack on Christianity rather than a socially conditioned young white man taught to hate black people to the point that he wants to murder them.

In the words of Jeremiah Wright, America's chickens are coming home to roost and the whole world is watching and connecting the dots as they realize how there can be a systemic culture where cops murder unarmed black men and women and a systemic culture in which white people are taught that Blacks are violent, lazy , rapists.

Yes the world is finally connecting the dots and seeing first hand where the social conditioning is coming from.

And wicked people like yourself might try to divorce yourself of the guilt of creating this. But it sits right at your doorstep.

You and the folks like you continue to be an embarrassment to Christ and "YOUR" country.

Dishonorable.

It's funny how the word terrorism is all of a sudden nowhere to be found.

 

[Zaac]

It's funny how the word terrorism is all of a sudden nowhere to be found.

Ain't it though?

This kid pulled off a military styled act of terror. HE knew what night there would be people there (surveilled). He asked to speak to the pastor and waited for him to get there. He sat with them for an over an hour perhaps so that he'd know who was a threat.

This was an act of terrorism if ever there was one.

But where is FOX News and the other media outlets? Talking about an attack on Christianity because they refuse like so many on this board and throughout white America to admit that this country is nowhere near as "post-racial" as they've gotten their listeners to parrot.
