Charleston, Dylann Roof and the racism of millennials
The Washington Post ^ | June 19,2015 | Karen Attiah

Posted on 06/19/2015 7:24:52 AM PDT by Biggirl

America should be shaken to its very core by what happened in Charleston. The gruesome massacre of nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, a historically black church in Charleston, S.C., may amount to the worst racially motivated terror attack of our generation and a deeply violent reminder that racism and white supremacy continue to course through America’s veins. One cannot help but draw comparisons to the firebombing of a black church in Birmingham, Ala., almost 52 years ago.

For all the issues I have with Millenials, Dylann Roof is absolutely atypical. Only a tiny number of them are violent, racist nutballs who spend their time reading The Turner Diaries

Well then it stands to reason that the Liberals occupying Academia are responsible since they taught them. So lets follow millenial racism to it’s source. Liberalism.

Absolutely correct.

Millenials are the least-racist, or perhaps better the most racially-oblivious, generation in American history. Same is true on a whole host of issues.

Which presents problems to the grevience industry.

So articles like this are designed to persuade Millenials that they aren’t really different, that they do have problems and therefore must do what is “required” (as defined by special interest groups) of them to “fix” their problem.

I’m tired of seeing articles that reference “millennials” or “boomers”.

The worst racially motivated attack of our generation took place on 9/11.

Now THAT’S good hyperbole.

Seriously, though, I see not reason to get so wound up about the actions of one nut-case.

Dylan Roof was crazy. Crazy people latch onto any violent cause or trend in an attempt to make themselves feel rational and meaningful.

Most of what people his age have heard is divisive racial rhetoric...from the White House, the offices of various mayors across the country, and of course, from the academy. Most of them shrug it off and go on with their personal lives.

But I think it was pretty standard for a crazy person to latch onto it.

Having to grow up watching the nightly news celebrate the first African American Disabled Trans-Lesbian Feminist Women’s Studies Major to successfully pump her own gas could potentially lead to hard feelings. Just sayin.

OBVIOUSLY the Wichita Horror doesn't factor in.

But then, that was black-on-white. Doesn't fit The Agenda.

Why should Americans be shaken to their very core?

Roof did what the Left has been moving toward for the last 25+ years—Elimination of Christians.

The Left is shaken only because the nutball let the cat out of the bag ahead of schedule.

....Or they (the left) in private clapped their hands to what this demons controled shooter did, created new Christian martyrs. This simply planted more seeds to create new Christians in the process.

For a brief moment before he was ID’d the Left had to be peeing their pants worrying that the perp here might have been a Muslim.

“I think this is true. Millenials, as a group, are not racist, or sexist, or genderist at all. BUT they believe everybody else is.

“Having to grow up watching the nightly news celebrate the first African American Disabled Trans-Lesbian Feminist Women’s Studies Major to successfully pump her own gas”

That is something that always puzzles me. We are constantly told that eveybody is equal, but every time somebody from group A accomplishes something that would be something an average evil white male would just do without thinking about it to no fanfare as if it is the most yawn filled normal task in the world, but for someone from group A they get trumped up and celebrated across the media sphere. As long as that happens, It tells me, at least, that the dems really believe members of group A are inferior, that they have to pat somebody on the head and give then a “ribbon” for accomlishing a task tha white males just do without thinking about it.

[ “I think this is true. Millenials, as a group, are not racist, or sexist, or genderist at all. BUT they believe everybody else is. ]

I disagree, I think that they are taught the big lie that “Everyone is Equal no matter what” and then when they see in real life that everyone is not and that if you are white you are evil, even though they know deep down they are not, they internally rebel and slowly they will become completely racist without themselves even being aware of it...

This is one of the most dangerous forms of racism because it is not programming racist indoctrination, BUT it is something that hit their subconscious because the socialist marxist social engineering creates a disparity in their own mind because it is so disconnected from the reality that they experience themselves that they start to create an exception list in their own heads.

So in the end you have someone who will outwardly claim they are not racist but internally holds real life conclusions that create a narrative in their own heads that would make bull Connor blush.

WARNING!!!

If we are going to go after ‘racism’ then let’s do it starting with Sharpton, Obama , Holder etc. Otherwise BS.

Where was the outrage when this happened?

St. Louis’ Bosnian community sees hammer murder as hate crime
Zemir Begic, a 32-year-old man who emigrated from war-torn Bosnia almost two decades ago in search of a better life, was bludgeoned to death Sunday, allegedly by a group of hammer-wielding teenagers, one of whom has been charged as an adult. Begic was driving with his fiancee, Arijana Mujkanovic, and a male passenger at about 1:15 a.m. Sunday in St. Louis when five teenagers began pounding his vehicle with a hammer, according to police. When Begic confronted them, he was struck in the mouth, face, head and body with hammers and died at a nearby hospital.

WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE - Hammers Attack Video
Pay close attention to what is said at the end.
