A black man has been arrested and charged with burning an African-American church in Greenville, Miss. last month and defacing its outer walls with Vote Trump graffiti.
The Mississippi state police arrested Andrew McClinton, 45, on Wednesday and charged him with first-degree arson of a place of worship, Warren Strain, a spokesman with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety told The Daily Caller.
McClinton allegedly set first to Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, where he is a member, on Nov. 1, a week before the election. The fire destroyed 80 percent of the church. A GoFundMe account raised more than $240,000 to repair the facility.

I’m confused. Why is the man “black” and the church “African-American”?
To: dfwgator
No, it was Russians. But Trump made the Russians make the black guy do it. Because...racist.

The congregation will forgive him, because he did it for a worthy purpose.

From another source around about when it happened.
U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, whose district includes Greenville, is the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee. He told The Associated Press Thursday that a member of his staff spoke to the head of the Department of Homeland Securitys intelligence and analysis division about the church fire. Thompson said the department has jurisdiction to investigate cases that might be considered domestic terrorism.
If there is something like the Ku Klux Klan or the Aryan Nation ... we look at that as domestic terrorism, Thompson said.
No don't look....you already know....What I want to know is, if there is an apology coming ?

I had to laugh at the pretzel logic, that since the arson was made to appear politically motivated that it wasn’t politically motivated.

You must have a different Constitution than I do. :-)
