Terror attack in Charleston

[Malevz]

Man everyone has rights, rapists, murders, politicians. You can Ponzi scheme people out of their life savings, bomb a marathon, put your friends in government positions to benefit your investment banking firm / agricultural company, lie on the news to insight hate and fear, still got those rights. Good for you.

Friends, caution your friends on using the word "terrorist" to describe this citizen. That is a very dangerous path.

Terrorism:

[ter-uh-riz-uh m]

the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.


Doesnt this mass murder fit this description, or your sole criteria for terrorism is: Must be brown and muslim?

He said something had to be done for the white race, that he wanted to start a civil war and he did his mass murder on the anniversary of the thwarting of a slave revolt by the founder of that very same church.

His mass murder was clearly violence perpetrated for political purposes.

I know this can be a slippery slope, Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist because he wasnt strictly a pacifist, but if youre going to apply it to muslims who use violence to make a point, then clearly Dylann Roof falls under the same category.

And my comment on Swish was related to other posts of his recently, not just the one in this thread.

I'm sorry that you're sensitive to anything written against whatever community I've said something bad about, I'm obviously pressing your buttons without realizing.

I'd say I'm quite well rounded, maybe there's a requirement to be absolutely 100% PC at all times in America? In England we come from all different backgrounds but for the most part we get along, and to that extent we can tolerate a joke against our own community whatever shade of skin we have... unless it happened at work, and then the race card, gender card, sexuality card gets waved for all kinds of reasons for personal gain.

Nobody likes to see that.

Problem is when people label being a racist, being a misogynist, being an asshole (say, like laughing at someone simply because he cannot walk and must use a wheelchair) "not being politically correct".

Its twisted perspectives, self-delusion, just like not being able to call this mass murder an act of terrorism.

I've never once heard the media refer to the KKK as terrorists, so why do they call this kid a terrorist? (Not that I dont think he is....)

[SamwiseRed]

so we no longer have killers but terrorists?

[Tradesonred]

The KKK is a terrorist organization, thats my point.

Just because the massacre is not terrorizing to you as a white person doesnt mean its not meant to terrorize.

Americans that are disgusted by this massacre got to be willing to face institutional racism, so changes happen. To label it a senseless slaughter is refusing to face the fact that theres a racist culture still present and this kind of shit doesnt come out of a cultural vacuum. 99 forums has examples of this culture all over the place. This guy wanted to take one for the white supremacist team.

Republicans always railing about blacks making the US go down the shitter, thats the kind of worldview Dylann Roof holds.

Step one to start tearing down that racist culture would be to remove the confederate flag from the SC state legislature.

You seem to only be repeating what Jon Stewart said....
